Hi.

I don’t count anymore the number of reboots (even several times in-between changes). 😉

Unsure what you mean by resetting Iodé app. What I did is to go to Settings\>Applications\>Iodé and erased App data and cache. But it didn’t help.

What just worked :

- Install ioDroid and Aurora from Preinstalled App menu. They will not be visible yet.
- Install F-droid and add iodéOS repo.
- In F-droid, look for ioDroid and click on Install. An update will be proposed and needs to be accepted. The Install button will remain visible though.
- Go to Settings\>Applications\>ioDroid, click on the 3 vertical dots on the top right and select Uninstall updates.
- ioDroid will, finally, become visible in the launcher.
- Do the the same for Aurora store (select Iodé repo as source in F-droid).
