iodéOS is an Android-based mobile operating system developed by French company iodé.[1] The operating system is a fork of LineageOS and does not include Google Play Services, instead using MicroG as a free and open-source replacement. The source for the ROM is not publicly available, and proprietary apps are included.

Reception[]

According to Stefan Mey of Heise.de and "Sunny" of tarnkappe.info, iodéOS includes hosts file based ad and tracker blocking.[1][2] According to "Sunny" of tarnkappe.info, users may install a VPN or an additional adblocker.[2] According to Stefan Mey of heise.de, the operating system comes with F-Droid and Aurora Store app stores pre-installed.[1] Manuel Vonau of AndroidPolice.com said it was "good" that the setup of a pre-installed phone isn't "much more complicated than with any other phone." However, inclusion of the Aurora Store meant the operating system still communicated with Google APIs and breaks Google's Terms of Service, but no warning is given.[3]
