Hi community!
Is there a list of devices that are planned to run Iode5? I am still eagerly waiting for Samsung’s S10 Series to be supported.
It’s not a LOS Issue anymore, because theres an official build for it by now. You can find the microg files here:
https://download.lineage.microg.org/
If it won’t be supported by Iodé, I think about switching to LOS+microG
Regards and thanks for your awesome work so far!
I’m still a proud Iodé premium supporter 
This has been mentioned in the Beta Testers Telegram group.
" iodéOS 5 is available for s10 series
But: it requires a factory reset so is not supported as OTA. We will communicate later…"
Thanks for your replies!
That’s good news but I gonna wait for a stable release. Do you think that it’s possible to have it as an OTA or is a factory reset mandatory? Would be a huge drawback I guess…
But good to hear that S10 Series won’t be left behind 
Looks like factory reset is mandatory. There was another confirmatiin of this in telegram group today when someone asked if upgrade to v5 possible or does it need full reinstall:
“Full reinstall. Partitions management have been changed in lineage, so this is unavoidable”
Hi all,
it requires a factory reset so is not supported as OTA. We will communicate later…"
Will there be an official announcement once it is “officially” available? Is v5 for Samsung S10x still beta or is it already considered stable?
Is there a tutorial to explain how to do a proper factory reset without losing data ?
How to proceed, where to find the iode5 (I believe iode6 now) sources ?
Official guidance would be helpful for users like me who are not used to these steps.
If you do a factory reset you will loose your data.
There isn’t a guidance
I have been using 5.8 now for a month and don’t have any issues with it.
It is not that easy to do a factory reset with the S10+ . It took me some try and error and a very long night to make it work.
Be aware, I did not recieve an update for january using iode os 5.8, where 4.19 has been monthly updated towards a january update 4.20.
So maybe it would be better to wait for an official update. Or maybe for iode 6 (fingers crossed)?
As @AlphaElwedritsch wrote, you’ll loose your data. That’s a main point of factory resetting a device.
How to do it is described in the Lineage os wiki. It’s part of the guidance on how to install a custom rom on your device. You can find the guides here:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices
and here the ones from iodé (only helpful if you are a pro, they are pretty short):
There are also links provided to download the recovery and rom files for each supported device.
For newbies the iodé guides actually suck, I only managed to install iodé with the Lineage instruction. I think they should make a more comprehensible step by step guide (or even video guides). Furthermore they should be easily found on the website. It’s a big drawback on iodé for me.
Thank you @AlphaElwedritsch and @Luzi.
Is there a way to save my data and parameters before factory reset and recover it after ?
Some app perhaps ? I heard of Seedvault ?
seedvault is notoriously unreliable, unfortunately. There’s never been a good native backup solution in android since the default is to invade privacy
I use Seedvault as it is integrated into LOS and Iodé. Didn’t have any problems so far.
