Is there either any pre-Android-13 iodéOS version, or perhaps will iodéOS fool PlayIntegrity-detecting software?

It’s been extremely important to me to only run Android versions that are earlier than Android 13. This is because of the massively painful PlayIntegrity-security-based restrictions that Google is inflicting upon rooted Android usage for all Android versions starting with Android 13. This is because many apps cripple themselves or even prevent themselves from running if they detect rooting or a locked bootloader via these standard PlayIntegrity-security-based restrictions

I have downgraded my daily-use Android device to Android 11 in order to avoid this situation.

Anyway, iodéOS looks like a great OS, especially due to its being de-Googled, but it looks like there is no pre-Android-13 version of it, so I would have to downgrade, if that is even possible.

Or … maybe I wouldn’t need an OS downgrade, after all … ? Would iodéOS perhaps make a rooted device with an unlocked bootloader appear to be non-rooted and bootloader-locked to all the apps which are currently written to use Google’s PlayIntegrity verdicts to decide whether or not to run?

iodéOS already integrates bits and parts from ih8sn meaning that even without having a locked bootloader apps will not be able to know that your device is unlocked.

In addition, with “microG” integration, devices pass the more basic MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY check of Play Integrity, but not the higher levels of MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY or MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY. It isn’t known if microG will ever pass these, but with the basic level passing many apps are working correctly (with some Banking apps previously working under Safety Net which we also pass, but alas Safety Net servers were shut down by Google a month ago).

I guess my point is you will have to inquire on what specific apps you need, and test them out but I suspect several you may need will work, and I think the ones that don’t work won’t be because of the unlocked bootloader detection.
