When I try to lock my screen it tells me that I have already changed the lock and that I have locked the screen. Does not matter if I choose password, pin or the other options.

When i try to download something from the aurora store it download but does not install. It does not matter what app or if I use a google or anonymous account. Deleting data from aurora does not solve anything. No error message

when i try to access developer options it kicks me back out with no error message.

Restarting the phone does nothing except restarting the phone.

These are all symptoms of not flashing stock Android (`15.x` in this case) before installing iodé. Please use [flash.android.com](http://flash.android.com) to return to Android 15, then proceed with the iodé install.
