Bonjour ! J’ai récemment installé iode-5.10-20250219-arm64\_ab.img sur mon vieux Blackview BV 4900 Pro (BV4900ProUS0007640, arm64 / MT6762V) et ai été _très_ impressionné par la facilité d’installation, d’usage, et la qualité générale de iodé. Donc, déjà : merci & bravo ! J’ai une petite liste de questions. - Dois-je faire un post par question ? 😉 - Est-il préférable de poster en Français ou en Anglais sur ce forum (l’Allemand n’étant malheureusement pas une option pour moi) ? - Lorsque la version 6 de iodéoS sera disponible pour le GSI, aurais-je à formater mes données et à repasser par la ligne de commande, ou sera-t-il possible de faire la mise à jour depuis l’_updater_ de iodéOS directement et de conserver mes données ? - J’ai un Pixel 5 (redfin) qui tourne actuellement sous LineageOS 22.1. J’ai lu ces posts ([Migrate from previous rom](https://community.iode.tech/t/migrate-from-previous-rom/5052) , [Switch from LineageOS to Iode without data loss?](https://community.iode.tech/t/switch-from-lineageos-to-iode-without-data-loss/1771) et [Switching from LineageOS to iodéOS on an S5e - do I need to re-flash stock first?](https://community.iode.tech/t/switching-from-lineageos-to-iodeos-on-an-s5e-do-i-need-to-re-flash-stock-first/2603) ), est-ce toujours le cas qu’une migration nécessite la perte de données, ou tenter _via_ Seedvault est viable? - J’ai une tablette Samsung Galaxy Tab S5 (SM-T725) qui tourne actuellement sous LineageOS 22.1 et deux S6 Lite (une, SM-P613 utilisant le système de Samsung, une SM-P610 qui tourne sous LineageOS 22.1). Si je lis bien [ce post](https://community.iode.tech/t/editable-list-gsi-support/2919), seule la gts4lv (SM-T725) est officiellement supportée par iodéOS, et étant donné que la SM-P610 tourne sous LineageOS, j’ai bon espoir que iodéOS sera bien supporté. Cependant, qu’en est-il de SM-P613, pour laquelle LineageOS ne semble pas supporté ? Merci infiniment! ---

I ran your post through Firefox translate, please forgive my sad state of being a (mostly) monolingual English speaker (besides some Amharic and Arabic). Yes lots of translation issues for Firefox but it can help get some understanding I hope. > [@ClementA](#): > > Good morning. > > I recently installed odio-5.10-20250219-arm64-ab.img on my old Blackview BV 4900 Pro (BV4900ProUS0007640, arm64 / MT6762V) and were _very_ impressed with the ease of installation, use, and the overall quality of iodized. So, already: thank you, well done. > > I have a small list of questions. > > - Do I have to do one post per question? 😉 Yes that is best if possible. Then we can know if a thread can be marked “solved”. > [@](#): > > - Is it better to post in French or English on this forum (unfortunately not being an option for me)? As noted, I used a translation tool. I see several posting questions in French or German with an English translation below. I don’t know how possible this would be for you. It would increase the chances for a reply if possible. > [@](#): > > - When version 6 of iodeoS is available for the GSI, would I have to format my data and return via the command line, or will it be possible to update since the _updater_iodized update directly and keep my data? Sorry I am not certain, but the [GSI Wiki thread](https://community.iode.tech/t/editable-list-gsi-support) is probably where to look for more info. > [@](#): > > - I have a Pixel 5 (redfin) that is currently running on LineageOS 22.1. I read these posts ([Migrate from previous rom](https://community.iode.tech/t/migrate-from-previous-rom/5052) , [Switch from LineageOS to Iode without data loss?](https://community.iode.tech/t/switch-from-lineageos-to-iode-without-data-loss/1771) and [Switching from LineageOS to iodéOS on an S5e - do I need to re-flash stock first?](https://community.iode.tech/t/switching-from-lineageos-to-iodeos-on-an-s5e-do-i-need-to-re-flash-stock-first/2603) ), is it still the case that a migration requires data loss, or is it _via_viable? Personally, I think if the base android version matches it should be fine, and I don’t think (??) it will require a `userdata` wipe, but do have a backup first, and be ready to do a full reset and install if you experience issues. > [@](#): > > - I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5 (SM-T725) tablet currently running on LineageOS 22.1 and two S6 Lite (one, SM-P613 using Samsung’s system, a SM-P610 running on LineageOS 22.1). If I read [this post](https://community.iode.tech/t/editable-list-gsi-support/2919) carefully, only the gts4lv (SM-T725) is officially supported by idéOS, and since the SM-P610 runs on LineageOS, I am confident that iodOS will be well supported. However, what about SM-P613, for which LineageOS does not seem to bear? Sorry I have _not_ read the GSI thread very closely at all. But if you can crawl around the internet and find an unofficial Lineage build **with sources** then it may be possible to make an unofficial iodéOS build, but no guarantees. Good luck! ---

Thanks a lot, you’ve answered all of my questions, and some more 😉
