Upgrade to Iode 6 / Android 15

General Discussion

Hey there,

when is version 6 / Android 15 planned to be released for Samsung Galaxy S10 Series? A stable LOS+mG build is already available. I’m still on Iode 4.21 and want to know when to upgrade.

Regards

Hey Luzi,

You can already upgrade your S10 manually to version 5

Be aware that a factory reset is needed and you will lose all your data.
So an update from version 4 to any later version requires this factory reset.

The version 5 recieves also updates (version 5.11 on my S10+ at the moment of writing).

Thanks Nomad, but I want to avoid factory resetting my device again after an update from 5 to 6 is available. I’d rather wait and just want to know when the release is planned. But the devs seem to be not around in this forum I guess…

I was thinking about buying the family lifetime plan for 250 € but everythings just too slow and lags behind. Be it Iode still on LOS 21 for S10 Series while 22.2 is already out or the app updates of f-droid, etc.

I might move to LOS-microG. Are there apps and things that don’t work under LOS compared to Iode?

Most apps that work on IodéOS will also work fine on LOS4microG.
A couple of exceptions I know of:

  1. IodéOS generally passes SafetyNet ‘out of the box’ whereas LOS4microG does not, meaning a few apps which run on IodéOS may not run on LOS4microG - examples are UK banking apps Smile and Nationwide.
  2. The Iodé blocker app (which selectively blocks apps from transmitting data to dubious internet sites) is not available

If there is a particular app you need to run, you can

Thanks for the reply petefoth,

Why is it so, that iode passes the SafetyNet and LOS not?
The blocker is easy replaceable with some other dns-blocker, maybe without the polished UI.

I’m really tired of iode right now. I pay monthly 7 € for a product thats not really reliable and with small downsides is available for free (or donation).

If I knew the answer to that, I would make a build of LineageOS for microG that does pass SafetyNet :slight_smile:
