I would like to come back to IodéOS on Galaxy S10e, however I’d like to avoid reinstalling all apps and settings twice. If I remember correctly, you need to do clean flash between main versions. So my question is… Where will be version 5.x on Galaxy S10e? Thanks.

“Coming back” means you are running a different ROM, right?
Then you have to do a clean flash and install all apps from fresh.
Maybe a seedfault backup from a enemy ROM will work, but no guarantee
Yes, LOS for MicroG. I know I need to do clean flash, but I want to avoid doing clean flash again from IodéOS 4.x to 5.x. I will wait if ver 5.x if coming soon.
No, that ist possible dirty
No need to do a clean flash
Really? It is possible to upgrade from Android 13 to 14 without clean flash? Then there is no reason to wait.
Yes, but afaik there is still no IOS 5 in sight. Linux4 made an unofficial build for S10 series, but it’s not even supported for LOS with microG atm. I think we might have to wait and hope for the best.
Hello there, any plans for upgrading IodéOS for S10e? It has official LineageOS 22 already so IodéOS is 2 builds behind.

Version 5.x is supported. See:
But only with a fresh installation.
Can someone report on how is everything working with V5 on S10e? Is it worth the upgrade or should we wait for V6 to be released?
Hi there, why would you go back from LOS +mG to Iodé? I thought about going the other way. The only upside of iode right now seems to be the blocker. But thats hard to argue for, for 7€ per month. Would love to hear your opinion on that. 
There are many other privacy improvements over LOS …
- Default DNS server: Google’s DNS replaced by Quad9’s servers in all parts of the system.
- A-GPS: patches to avoid leaking personnal information like IMSI to SUPL server.
- SUPL server: can be disabled by a switch in phone settings.
- Captive portal login: connectivitycheck.gstatic.com replaced by captiveportal.kuketz.de for connectivity check.
- NTP server: change to pool.ntp.org.
- Quick Settings Tiles: sensitive ones require unlocking (disabled by default, can be activated in lock screen security settings).
- Wifi and bluetooth: can be automatically disabled when connection is lost.
and the Firewall is per default for free …
and the firewall does not occupy the Android VPN …
and iode v5 works on S10e …

I agree. iodéOS out of the box as it is (without a premium account) is still much better for privacy enthusiasts

Thanks for listing things up, I wasn’t aware of some points. Is the list still valid for LOS+microG? And also in general in comparison with Graphene OS?
I know, post I made about LOS for MicroG is old, I’m back on IodéOS. Basically all points you’ve list I had to manually edit in LOS for MicroG + installing F-Droid and Aurora Store that are already in Iodé.
I’m personally not a fan of IodéOS firewall, I use it on router level. I like that default state for new installed apps is no internet connection and you need to allow it manually. Thats all I need on android.
One thing that bother me is that I’m not able to see Spotify clients in LAN, that other devices see just fine. I suspect IodéOS changes in DNS/ports, but that is another topic.
I’m not sure it now it is right time to upgrade to 5.x when 6.x will be released soon?

I can’t see the problem.
Install 5.8 now and then later, via the integrated Iode Updater, click download, click install…
it’s easy …
But is it that easy this time? Upgrading from IOS 4.x to 5.x is only possible with a complete data wipe no dirty flash possible
I think I’ll wait for IOS 6 to be released for S10e
Clean install between android version releases is time consuming. SeedVault is nice backup tool, but still not simple backup/restore process.
Yes, but only from 4 to 5 due to major changes in partition layout.
After that it is a normal in-place upgrade.

Ah, than I should upgrade. Thanks for info.
My S10e is running iodé 4.2. As I understand it, my only way to upgrade to 5.8 is to make a clean install, meaning all my phone data will be deleted?
