Introduction to iodeOS

Hi,

I found iodeOS, after I was looking to de-google my Xiaomi Mi 9. I am currently using EvoX, which is based on LineageOS, but comes with google apps.

Now I got a few questions:

  1. What Android version is that iodeOS based on? Will it yearly upgrade A14, A15 etc?
  2. Will there be monthly security patches for my phone Mi 9?
  3. Can I still use bank apps I always got from Play Store before?
  4. what exactly does iodeOS except not having google apps and using another DNS server?

Hope you can help me out a bit!. Maybe there also some articles I could read to find my answers, feel free to recommend them!

Hi

Iode is also based on LOS.

And the mi 9 is currently no longer supported by LOS according to:

Mi9 is on A13 at iode
See list here in the forum.

At least there are monthly sec updates.

List of working apps is at the top of the forum.

Can I install it per GIS whatever that means though lol? → [GSI][14] iodéOS = LineageOS 21 + MicroG + adblocker [10/10/2024] | XDA Forums

Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about it… sorry

but maybe others here can help you

using a GSI will not give you regular security updates, but may work if the device is project treble-compatible.
