Fairphone 5: device has loaded a different operating system

Apps & Core Settings
1

I switched my new FP5 to Iode today (iodeOS 4.9), manual installation (not the script) along the instructions was done with only a few uncertainties, but finally I succeeded and nearly everthing is fine now. After installation I locked the bootloader, this also worked well.
One issue remains: At start there is a Message thrown: device has loaded a different operating system. At reboot system continous boot after a few seconds, but at cold start user needs to press the Enter button to continue.
Anybody else with similar problems? Has anybody already a solution?

Greetings
Werner

The yellow message is normal, but it is not normal to press the power button to continue.
But maybe on FP5

Just for your information: It is the same on FP4.

But I had to check it manually. Normally, I only reboot the FP4…

FP5 here. Don’t have that confirming problem, but the screen though. I used the installer

I have it but I don’t really care.

Maybe it’s because bootload is unlocked.

I have the same issue, I am on a FP4, but bootloader is blocked. Everything else seems to work as expected though.

I have the same issue on my FP4. But it’s not really a problem.

I am new to iodé coming from /e/OS. Yesterday I installed iodé via the windows installer on my FP4 and everything went smooth. Now I have locked the bootloader what has been impossible after the last /e/OS-update. And on /e/OS I waited for an update since last October. I installed version 1.17-t-stable, which is Android 13. There was an update for a short time but they withdrew it…

For now iodé is running very smooth on my FP4 and in several aspects I find it better than /e/OS. It seems to be more stable and I like the launcher (on /e/OS I used lawnchair).

And I already purchased a premium account.

Hello, we purchased an FP4 and have now installed iode on it. After closing the bootloader, we now receive this message. If we understand correctly, can we ignore this message without encountering any long-term issues?
We have not yet installed all of our apps, and we hope that no further issues will arise.
Best regards, Uwe

This message is “normal” in my understanding: I think it is because as a LineageOS based ROM it is using a combo of the device’s original source tree with iodé then running as a sort of containerize layer. So this is hwy the message that it is a “different operating system”. So you can have a “locked bootloader” (you wouldn‘t then have any “warning the device is unlocked and can‘t be trusted” message, but you would continue to have the “it is loading a different OS” message).
