Did you know Asus has stopped supporting bootloader unlocking for zenfones? Highly problematic. Not sure if unofficial unlocking is available?
Hello
I’ll give your unofficial build a test soon.
Feature Request.
Whilst experimenting with AndyYan’s LineageOS GSI I was reacquainted with a feature that I have long missed: “clear all” option on the right hand side in the open apps overview.
I’ve built the GSI so it should be easy to find the source for it…I guess.
Or like this, from VoltageOS-GSI…
It’s there. If you swipe to the left end of the list

Yes, that’s why I miss it on the right hand side. At the beginning of the list.
That is the feature request.

Hii @Antoine I have a some thoughts and feature requests
- You can enhanced Privacy Features
- You can Improved User Interface
- You can expanded App Suppor
- Performance Optimizations
In contrast to the CustomROM competitor /e/ from Paris, this forum is less frequented. Nevertheless, questions from the Commuity to the official iodé.tech administration are usually answered quite late, often days later or even not at all. This negligence has a negative effect on the image of iodé.tech and its products and causes interested parties to leave.
The response time in this community iodé forum from the official iodé.tech administration could be significantly improved.

DeepSleep for GSI. Thank you
Great OS. It’s just LineageOS but with some more privacy and compatibility touch. The ability to remove preinstalled apps is cool; quite important but rarely talked about.

I have two feature requests.

Back when cell phones first came out, the FAA demanded that they be put in airplane mode before flights. So if you pressed the power button you were presented with the usual restart, power off, etc, but you could also easily turn off tracking by putting the phone in airplane mode. Please bring this back. It should be super easy to turn on airplane mode (and put the phone into a radio silence state (no wifi, no bluetooth, no phone network). This should be easy. Thank you.

The most important thing a privacy OS should do is stop tracking as much as possible. But the cell phone network is designed to track you, that’s how it works. Most of us, don’t need to make or receive calls while driving. In fact calling while driving is dangerous. Most people only need to make calls at home or work. So the government and big tech already know where I live and where I work, but I don’t want them to know every place I go, who I meet and where I get coffee. So I want my phone to automatically go into radio silence mode, when I leave home or work. Radio silence mode could be engaged either when you go out of range of selected Wifi networks, or when you leave a GPS circle around chosen locations. Obviously you should be able to turn this off temporarily to take or make a call, but if this feature is enabled, the defaults should be no tracking when you leave a pre-selected location. This probably has to be done at the OS level. I don’t think apps can turn in airplane mode.
Why going to radio silence has to be automatic, is that even with feature #1 (which is needed, good and easy) it’s too easy to forget and suddenly you are leaving an electronic trail for anyone to see.
I’d be glad to do the UI design for this if that would help.
It is super easy: just swipe down from the top of the screen, and ‘Airplane mode’ is one of the quick settings tiles.
Do you have any evidence for that statement? Or is it just your opinion that people should not make or receive calls anywhere other than at home or at work? I do like to be able to receive calls while driving: that’s why I have a BlueTooth hands-free device in my car. And I certainly do want to receive calls when I am not at home. That’s one of the reasons I own a mobile phone rather than just having a landline.
My belief - based on my own experience of using my phone, and of watching people I know using their phones - is that you are wrong: most people do want to be able to receive and make calls when they are not at home or at work, including when they are driving,
If you want to confiigure your phone so that this is not possible, there are apps which can be used to perform certain tasks (such as going to Airplane mode) under specific circumstances. Please don’t expect Iodé to ‘cripple’ compromise the functionality of their phone OS by default: it’s a mobile phone - it should be able to make and receive calls when users are ‘mobile’.
Thank you and good night!

I am loving it, installed it around a week ago coming from calyx. I’ve used lineage, graphene but also postmarketOS and mobian, oidé is very special for me because it supports many hardware and has a foss aproach using firefox as default browser and other move privacy oriented features. Today I installed libredirect extension on firefox, very cool to have this on the phone.
Recently I have been trying to move downloaded apps to the SD Card without rooting the phone with little success TBH. In the early days of Android this was a standard feature but it would appear that Screwgle have ways to make people buy new phones when storage starts getting a little on the tight side whilst at the same time cashing in on the cloud storage option.
There are many benefits that would come from such a feature probably the principle one would be having the ability to easily transfer both Apps and data into a second or a new phone with very little effort but there are several more that I believe iode users would also find very useful. TBH it was no suprise when Pixel phones came on the scene without the SD Card facility. There are even websites telling us that google had our security foremost in their minds when they took the decision not to provide the option of external storage.
I can almost smell the BS from here!
Hi there chair,
you can actually do both in android/iodé already:
- to toggle the airplane-mode from the On/Off-Menu, you can go to “system” in the preferences and select “Tasten” (which it’s called in german, I don’t know what it’s called in the english version)… It’s the setting for the physical controls, such as the on/off-button. In this setting, you can add “air-plane-mode” and there it is…
The second request is easily to do with Systemprofiles, where you can add a profile for maybe “outside”, that sets your phone to air-plane-mode, when it looses connection to your wifi…
Hope this helps
