Hi @oups ! This might be too late to be of use to you; if so, I apologize. I started with the unofficial build of iodeOS 6.8 on my Pixel Tablet tangorpro, and then did a local upgrade to 6.9 when it was released. Everything was seamless and I use my Pixel Tablet much more now than when it was running GrapheneOS. @rik and the developers did a great job! Sorry to say that I can’t answer your other questions. I just wanted to chime in to say that the unofficial build worked very well and iodeOS 6.9 runs flawlessly on my Pixel Tablet tangorpro. Good luck!
Thank you very much for your feedback !
After reading it, I wonder if you have to reflash for the updates or how it works for the updates ?
I have installed iodé on my daughter’s phone and will do it on my phone in the following days. The experience looks very similar to calyxos which I’m happy with.
Hi again… you are welcome!
For updates, no re-flashing is required. From the unofficial builds page, you download the zip file for the version you’d like to update to, connect your tablet to your computer, open iode’s Updater app, and then select “local update” from the three-dot menu in the upper right; it handles everything from there. For the time being, 6.9 is the latest version that you can install on the Pixel Tablet tangorpro (I believe that version 7, which is based on LineageOS v23 and Android 16, will be coming in the months ahead).
I hope that this helps!
Great ! Thank you for your help.
I will go for iodé on my phone first. Then I’ll flash the tablet.
Today I successfully installed on a Pixel 4XL and then could not install on a Pixel tablet. I thought I followed the directions step by step. Had to revert back to GOS. Oh well
Was GOS on it before installing iodéOS? You should revert to stock before flashing iodé as GOS modifies some underlying bits that can cause hardware compatibility issues when going to another ROM.
I tried to flash Google back on the tablet but it would not finish the install. And every retry failed. So I hooked up to the GOS web installer and it fixed the problem. I also tried to install straight from GOS. That had worked on the Pixel 4XL. So I do not plan on messing with it anymore. I have 2 phones with iode to experiment with. If iode in the future happens to support a pixel tablet I will do it. Thanks
FYI I did just setup OTA updates for my Unofficial builds for Google Pixel devices.
In the future I do think the iodé team will eventually make an official build, but you would still need stock installed first.
Great news ! Thank you Rik
Hi @rik ,
For a Pixel Tablet tangorpro with iodeOS 6.9, would I need to revert to stock Android 16, and then install iodeOS 7.1 from scratch, or would it be possible to manually update using your unofficial build file as I did going from 6.8 to 6.9? Sorry for the silly question, but the transition from Android 15/LOS 22 to A16/LOS23 is giving me pause (and I apologize if I missed this in the FAQs somewhere).
Thanks so much!
I have tested the upgrade from v6.9 unofficial to v7.1 unofficial with a Pixel 7 Pro without issue and without data loss. But it does need to be upgraded using Recovery with adb sideload and manual acceptance of the new build signature key, as with all the unofficial iodéOS builds hosted by the LineageOS for microG project (which are all of my Pixel builds).
Here are details on how to do that from a user that documented the process better than I did ![]()
Thanks a million! This is a big help ![]()
