Hi from UK.
I presently have a Divest OS device and want to buy an FP4 from Iode.
Problem is I am non technical and have now lost contact with my Technical person who set up my OS device.
Is there anyone in the UK who could set up the new phone for me please ?
Obviously I am prepared to pay for this service.
Thanks
Tony
I would be happy to help, but not sure what you mean. If you buy the phone from iode it will arrive all ready for you to use it.
Hello everyone,
As a new French member of this forum, I’ve recently become interested in Iodé OS because I’d like to change to an ungoverned operating system, following the numerous disappointments I continue to have with its main competitor, Murena.
As a Murena One owner, I’m about to send it back for the third time because of the numerous problems it’s having, both in terms of software and hardware. What’s more, almost all their smartphones are out of stock. Which doesn’t seem to be the case here.
Good luck and see you soon on the topics.
Hi there
Best would be if you get a pixel phone
I don’t want to hate or spread negativity, but murena and eOS are trash
So that you decided to change to Iode it was the best you could do
Thank you for your reply.
Why a Pixel specifically and not a Mi 10T PRO?
Have you had a bad experience with Murena as well?
What I write now is only my personal oppinion
Pixels have the longest and best support. I decided for myself to use only pixels. At the moment three. 5, 6a and 7a. I’ve never had any bad experience or issues with it.
Murena, eOS
At the beginning, when I’ve decided to degoogle my life, I’ve started with eOS. But I was never happy with it. The actuallity of the software, the launcher, their cloud, their politic, etc…
I learned to hate it.
My daily drivers are iodé phones.
For me it has always been and still is the best decision.
I continue to experiment with divestOS, grapheneOS and calyxOS from time to time.
But in the end it is always iodèOS that offers me the most and satisfies me personally.
eOS is out, I don’t even look at it anymore.
Thank you for all these details. So I’m waiting to finish fixing the problem with my Murena One and I’ll be ordering an Iodé OS smartphone.
Hopefully they’ll have better customer service.
Depends on your definition of ‘best’ 
I would choose one of the Sony phones that are supported by Iodé (see sony · Releases · iodeOS/ota · GitHub) for the following reasons:
I used to work on Pixel phones (when they were Nexus), so I’m biased, too
Whatever it is, as long as iodèOS runs on it, it’s perfect 
In any case, thank you both for your feedback.
Hello I just came to know about iodéOS, currently using CalyxOS, having used graphene and Lineage in the past. Thinking about migrating my motog52 from calyx no iodé, any advices?
You will find that iodé is very similar to calyx, so they’re is very little new you need to learn. The iodé blocker is the main thing you will notice, but that is a good thing, the reason many people choose iodé over other android degoogled roms.
Hello to All!
I am very new to the open source Android community. I have a significant background with Linux, but little experience with Android on phones.
So far, I have loaded CalyxOS on a Pixel 7, just before Calyx announced their shutdown of updates. So I reloaded my Pixel 7 with a stock Android 15 ROM from Google and started playing with other ROMs.
I am looking for a solid custom ROM load that includes most of the basic apps and I feel that iode is what I need to use next.
I really want to have a de-googled/un-googled phone running open sourced apps. I know that this may not be totally possible, but I will try.
I have a new phone (a refurbished Pixel 8) and will be posting on the installation help forum soon.
Been lurking here for a bit. Have been steadily increasing privacy and googling for several years. Converted PC to Linux (from Windows) at start of the year, and looking to switch to Asahi Linux on my Apple MacBook Pro once I’ve changed over my iPhone and iPad (tablet).
Was originally planning to do a Pixel with GrapheneOS later this year to replace iPhone), but when I saw the BraX3 with iodéOS back about March I took the leap. Recently received my BraX3 so just working through set-up of it now… looking forward to getting out of the Apple walled garden!
Just need to find a suitable tablet I can run some form of Linux or an AOSP OS on to replace iPad…
I run Mobian with Phosh on a Surface Go 2 (great for attached / detached physical keyboard to just tap a button to toggle on/off the onscreen keyboard). It is an intel device, meaning easy installation but not insanely good battery life (but can go all day doing email / productivity or at least 4+ hours playing video).
You can also run iodé on a Pixel Tablet (tangorpro), I make unofficial builds for it, and also there are a few Samsung tablets I think you can do that with too.
Thanks @rik great to know - will have a look once I have my BraxX3 fully up and running!
I have a (very?) old Samsung I was playing around with to try and load Linux on (something like a 7" Tab 3 or such). Fairly small and narrow… It had a (typical Samsung) bug on doing factory reset of existing O/S, so had to get suitable tools to crack it open to remove battery to do hard reboot (so once i get back to that i can hopefully then install Linux or maybe now iodé)…
For iodé (or other Android ROMs), it is easiest to see if a Lineage build already exists. Then if so, but no official iodé build, it can be made relatively easily. If no Lineage build, or if you want to try “pure Linux” instead, have a look at postmarketOS and dig in!
Thought id pop in and say hello (US,MN). New to iode but not custom ROMs (graphene, calyx, lineage). I just moved over from Calyx and am really enjoying the experience thus far. Keep up the awesome job. Hopefully Iode will be a good fit for the family (children). It defiantly has potential with the subscription services available.
Hello, I did install IodéOS on a Motorola G42 phone (with the online installer) about two weeks ago, coming form CalyxOS and everything is working fine with a beautiful design and perfect workability.
I have always been modding my phones with various ROM’s and I precisely did choose this Motorola to be able to continue.
