Settings are the same no matter the Sim.
Well yes, Gcam is able to give better results, but this is about the app and isn’t related to an issue with the build itself. So probably best to have a discussion in the “Apps and Core Settings” about various camera app pros and cons.
OK, understood. But do any of those 34 options even mean much in real practice? If you have LTE selected, do you have voice calls? Then I assume they are VoLTE. On my P3a XL I also see it only lists “LTE and GSM” as options, and voice calls are working (there are no GSM / 3G towers here) in the USA anymore).
Hi rik, im having a problem. How do i flash Pixel 8a with iodeos and where is the boot.img?
Thank you.
Where is the boot.img for the Pixel 8a and relevant files?
@ronnz98 made the build for the Pixel 8a, and their install advice is to follow the installation method for LineageOS, but when using adb sideload to of course flash the iodé .zip. So in short, I think the boot.img you are looking for can be downloaded from lineage. So use the link to Lineage from column 1 in the table at the top for the instructions and links to most things, then use the link to the 6.2 build for the actual build image.
In the future I am going to take on builds for the Pixel 8a (and 9 series, and older 2 series, etc). I create the relevant boot,img, etc.
I’m still using the Pixel 3XL as my main phone. The phone and the system are quite OK, however I think I’m on 2G for calls (there’s a G displayed). I was not able to run any tests with network-test apps.
Rik do you know when the next build wil be “built” ? I want to try the Local updates feature.
I’m pretty sure Rik is on holiday and away from his computers this week. 6.3 sources are now available s I would guess the Pixel builds will start when he gets back
I have uploaded iodéOS 6.3 builds for the Pixel 3 - 9 series and updated the chart with them. I had a few glitches getting the 1 - 2 series built correctly due to some partition size issues, I’ll try to get those sorted and uploaded in the next day or two.
By the way, we are keeping the last version of the previous major series, (so the last 5.x builds) and the most current 2 builds from the current series (so at this time it is 6.3 and 6.2) available, but remove other versions (so 6.1 and 6.0 have been removed, as are all but the last version of the 5.x builds). If for some strange reason you may want one of those older builds I can re-create it if necessary.

Hi.
I’ve downloaded the 6.3 for Pixel 3XL and successfully updated to it using Local update. Although no option to update to latest recovery it did install the 6.3 recovery (just checked).
On first use I see no issues… will come back later if I find.
Thank you for building these ROMs rik!

Sorry, I would like to test Iode Os 6.3 on Pixel 9 Pro, is it enough to flash iode-6.2-20250420-UNOFFICIAL-caiman-boot.img and then sideload iode-6.2-20250420-caiman.zip or do I have to use other files as well?
I replied via DM to @Barb0ne clarifying that those are the 2 files they need, but they should select the 6.3 versions. We keep the most recent 2 builds available in case the newest uploads have an unexpected issue.
They also questioned if it would work with Android 16 Beta currently on their phone. With concerns on if the May 2025 security update would work or not (likely not) with the iodé 6.3 builds, it seemed safest to recommend to them they try to install an Android 15 version from before May 2025, then after that attempt to upgrade to iodé. I would guess (??) the flash.android.com site would ensure you don’t brick your phone when attempting to put on an older build, so it seems the best way to go until updated iodé builds have the needed patches in them (I think the upcoming 6.4 builds will be good in this regard).
