Re: IodéOS Is Open Source
#2Hey guys,
We are happy to announce that we are releasing iodéOS as open source software! From the beginning, we have been strong proponents of open source software and part of our code was open from day one. We are happy to take the next step and completely open source iodéOS.
We would like to thank the community as well as all beta testers for your commitment for iodé. As you may know, we also accept donations for iodéOS which is installable for free.

https://gitlab.com/iode/os/devices is a pretty short list; why would someone choose this over CalyxOS, GrapheneOS, or even Lineage?

You choose them because you have a google-free android phone, with all the apps working, without having to do it on your own.
Their business model is to *sell* phones with that iodeOS, a fork of Lineage, even if everything is on gitlab and you're welcome to install it on your own. I'm an IT engineer who likes free code, but I'm not really into Android, and I only have so much time. I wouldn't have installed Lineage on my own.
So I wouldn't have had a free version of Android without iode.
The phone I had from them was also refurbished by a local company, which was nice. It's still more eco friendly and responsible than getting a new phone from a big SW company.
I'm just annoyed the company replied to none of my support requests, that I submitted on the website (I wanted comments on the IMS that wasn't working, I wanted a duplicate of the sale receipt, and I wanted the IMEI to be able to report my phone stolen. I had to get my support from nerds on Discord, for the former.

Here's a more fleshed out list.
As for using Iode over others, it's mostly up to preference. I use it as a daily driver and it does what it says it does. The browser is pretty solid and the request blocker has some neat functions (Although I can't seem to find a way to see/update the blacklist).
If you're looking for a new OS give it a shot, otherwise it's not worth switching.

It's just another custom Android build. Like LineageOS, Mokee, GrapheneOS etc. Isn't it?

Now it starts getting interesting. Will it also run my banking app? Or is there some crypto mechanism keeping that from happening?
