Awesome! Maybe you could add a more detailed install and upgrade process guide. That would be really helpful. Is it possible to upgrade from Iode 5 to 6 OTA?

On the page for the Iode-app, under the Stream section, I think you are missing a “T” in the opening line.

Great that you are tackling this important issue now. Thank you!

How does one find this important page easily on the website?
No link in the header, no link in the footer.
Would be great to add that.

In the section Development & Contribution > Contributing it’s written:

  • First, check for existing reports in the “System & Core Apps” category by searching for topics tagged open-issue.
  • If the issue hasn’t been reported, create a new topic with a descriptive title.
  1. The category’s name in the forum is “Apps & Core Settings”.
  2. Is it intended that the thread opener can’t tag a topic as “Open-Issue”?

UnifiedNLP isn’t a thing anymore. Not in microG and not in iodé AFAICT. It was replaced by the location settings in microG itself that are more built-in, because of some Android-related reasons I’m unsure of, any mention of it is inaccurate

There are no longer any location modules, they’re just settings in microG. Déjà Vu doesn’t work for example.

Select Your Preferred WebView: Choose from the list of installed WebView providers, such as Bromite or Vanadium.

I haven’t tested other webviews in iodé, but:

  1. Bromite is VERY outdated, it would be a downgrade to replace the LineageOS one with it, it’s just too vulnerable at this point.
  2. Vanadium doesn’t really publish their WebView, I have seen one GitLab prebuilt page, but that’s not really recommended

There’s not really any alternative webview options at the moment that one can just install, in the past we had Mulch, but that’s no longer a thing since DivestOS went poof, the only one there is now really is the Google one.

Cromite has one I believe but the problem is that it uses the same package name instead of having its own, so…

Is this necessary? I did not activate them (did not see a reason for it).

Thanks, I’ll pass that to the documentation boss :slight_smile:

@MissPiggy yes it isn’t required of course to enable location permissions, I’ll see if they can add the (optional) tag to that as well.
