[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Gabor_B:
Since 4.1 this does not work for me. Tried all the methods used before:

Device is not recognized by fastboot in bootloader mode

adb sideloading magisk in iode recovery fails with verification error

flashing patched boot.img with ODIN in AP slot fails

changing to TWRP recovery does not see/decypher sdcard contents correctly (randomized strings as contents), sideloading magisk does not apply root. (SDCard method not tried yet)

What am I doing wrong, what is missing?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Zamperl:
@Gabor_B

Device is not recognized by fastboot in bootloader mode - Install UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi, reboot and try it again

adb sideloading magisk in iode recovery fails with verification error - Rename Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip and flash it via Recovery

flashing patched boot.img with ODIN in AP slot fails - ODIN 3.14.4 needs the current Samsung mobile driver

changing to TWRP recovery does not see/decypher sdcard contents correctly (randomized strings as contents), sideloading magisk does not apply root. (SDCard method not tried yet) - Format SD card with TWRP (latest) and try it again or try another SD card

What I did with star2lte:

Flashed TWRP 3.7.0 with ODIN 3.14.4

Reboot into Recovery

Reset as described in the first post

Installed 4.1 via recovery and adb sideload

Installed Magisk.zip via recovery and adb sideload

Reboot into system

Voila...

Hi guys,

After I installed the latest Version v4.2 I cannot find the night mode option to change the color temperature of the screen during the night. This is the option to reduce the amount of blue after it is getting dark.

Before v4.2 I used v4.1 and night mode was definitely available. All I could find in the latest version is under Live Display to change the color temperature. It seems to be the same functionality but in the night time the colors look messed up and the blue part (which should be dim) is really dominant.

Can somebody confirm or tell me where I can find the night mode as in v4.1?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Bork Bork:
Just an FYI: You can still flash this via TWRP like normal from an SD card. I highly recommend to patch boot.img with magisk beforehand and then flash it after the OTA like you would magisk back in the old days.

My devices are still kicking (S9 and XZ2) although I don't have either as my daily driver anymore due to insufficient RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Whatshorror:
Hey! I recently flashed my device (Galaxy s9+) to the latest LineageOS 20 version while also using Nikgapps. Through my research, I discovered that flashing the "Disable dm verity.zip" file is essential to guarantee the optimal functioning of my device and protect it from possible hacking endeavors. After carefully following the instructions provided on the XDA forum, I successfully flashed the operating system (OS) and NikGapps onto my device. However, when attempting to flash the "Disable verity.zip" file, I encountered an error message stating, "Unable to mount/odm: No such file or directory." The installation of the OS and Gapps proceeded smoothly, but this final step presented a problem. I flashed the latest version of the " No verity 03.04.2020" but unfortunately still got the same error.

I would greatly appreciate any help/ advice y’all could provide.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Whatshorror:
I have the same model. Have you flashed “disable dm Varity”?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Zamperl:
No. It came from Arrow OS. Maybe I have done it in the past. Sorry, I don't remember...

Hey guys, I need your help please. I currently updated to the latest version 4.5 and lost root. How can I get root again? Flashing Magisk.zip via sideload did not work. Using the command "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_boot.img" did not work either.

Am I entering the command incorrectly? Any ideas?

Latest iodeOS, Aurora Store doesn't allow me to login to my Google account. Page 404 error. Anyone experiencing this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Cmdr Data:
AuroraStore 404 login error is not an iodéOS specific problem.

I have just installed AuroraStore on an S9 with BaseDev ROM (which is basically stock ROM Android 10). With the suggested version 4.2.5 I had the same error "404", after updating to AuroraStore 4.4.4 it worked, meaning I could log in via Google.

Which version of AuroraStore is running on your device? It may help to update AuroraStore to version 4.4.4, otherwise wait and see, the problem may resolve itself.

Look here:

Login with Google Account impossible (#1099) · Issues · Aurora OSS / AuroraStore · GitLab

Description I cannot login with my Google Account to download my play store purchased apps. I get a 404 page in...

gitlab.com
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] tonycfc:
I just checked my Aurora Store version. It's version 4.4.2.

I'll try to find a way to update the AuroraStore, is it through F-Droid or download from somewhere. Nevermind, I'll do my research.

EDIT/UPDATE:

I tried to install Aurora Store from the F-Droid website it doesn't work. Something about APK bla bla I don't remember. So I tried to browse the built in F-Droid app on this ROM. It shows blank pages. Apparently you need to manually refresh it then repositories will be synced. Once it was synced Aurora Store was automatically updated to 4.4.4. Now logging in to Google works.

Writing all this just in case someone encounters the same problem as me.

EDIT/UPDATE no. 2:

After Aurora Store was on latest version. Everything works again. I was unable to download Google Chrome stable, used the Dev version. Syncing was not possible, there were issues. Now the stable version downloads fine and sync was possible. Awesome.

Thanks for the project. Nice job
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LiNe11:
Awesome rom, super fluid!

But is it me or I can't find the option to disable the fast charging? I know it's fast charging because it's charging at 15W.. And somehow my instagram has a bug on aosp, when I open instagram chat, the keyboard automatically shows up, that's the only app where it happens on aosp..

Hello, I like the idea of your privacy oriented rom. The more privacy, the better.Though I have some problems: I cant use the German corona app anymore, your mail app doesnt sends away my mails, and though I wiped lineage OS and made a clean install, some apps dont recognize my phone as rooted anymore....i will redo the installation when I will habe more time. Thanks for your work. I am not complaining... I just want to inform you. For the sake oft privacy, this rom doesnt habe to bw perfect for me.

The corona app says it fails to communicate with Google " an der Schnittstelle 8. All other apps depending on Google work perfectly.

We are looking for beta testers volunteers!

Hi everyone.

As you may know, before officially deploying each update on all iodé smartphones, our team spends a few days testing that the update functions as expected.

We are thus looking for volunteers to help us testing our updates. The principle is very simple: as a beta tester, your will receive a notification to install each update a few days before the official one. You will only need to install it and report to our team possible anomalies on the use of your smartphone. If you encounter nothing wrong, then just enjoy the update before everyone ?.

If you'd like to become beta tester, feel free to join our 'iodé Beta Testers' Telegram app group.

Thank you and keep your data safe with iodé!

Hi, I'm new to your ROM. So far its looking good, I've just encountered one issue. One of my sport streaming apps is not working stating it needs google play services to be updated to work. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] seandpa:
Anyone else encountered issues with Bluetooth?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vince31fr:
There is no option to disable fast charging (I never saw that on custom roms: maybe it is implemented somewhere?...).

About instagram and keyboard no idea, but after all if you want to chat you need the keyboard ?...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vince31fr:
Problems with German corona app may be solved with the next rom update which will embed latest microg fixes.

Maybe you should check again your mail settings, there should be something bad here, this lineage mail app works generally very well...

About root: I suppose you installed Magisk? Did you check in magisk settings which apps have root rights?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vince31fr:
Some apps don't , and will never, work correctly with microg. If you really need it, you can open an issue on microg github and give a logcat, maybe it could be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vince31fr:
Could you give more details? Which kind of problems? Do you have logs?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LeoMaier:
Hi, thanks for your reply....about the mix up with my root...I will redo that over the weekend...

The German Corona APP works with Bluetooth...

Today I tried the Tom Tom Navigation app Vio, it also works with Bluetooth ...it didn't work either. Its just for information., I dont want to complain, I am really looking for a rom for quite a while that collects less data about me than the usual OS. Thanks for your work!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vince31fr:
I think that these problems are more related to microg than bluetooth. Not all google play services are implemented in microg, there are still some bugs here and there... Do not hesitate to report on microg github (search before, maybe someone mad a report for the same app). About corona app, wait for the next rom update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] seandpa:
The issue I discovered is not that Bluetooth doesn't work but that the Bluetooth icon does not appear in the status bar, if that makes sense!

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

I know that this particular app does work with microg having tried it on other custom ROMs using microg, it is strange it does not work on your excellent rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vince31fr:
OK, so which app is it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] seandpa:
The app is called Spark Sport (NZ)

Hi,

this ROM uses microg (https://microg.org/) as a replacement for Google Services.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LeoMaier:
Google chromecast app

Hi there,

you were right, I got the settings wrong in the mail app. Now it is working like it should.

Now I tried to use the Google chromecast app. It said it needs a playstore update to work....and solutions...Anyway, I am going to usw your rom as long as you going to maintain it, because it keeps the data collectors out of my life as far as it is possible while using the Internet and a mobile phone. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] LeoMaier:
Outstanding rom. It cares about privacy and works just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vince31fr:

Did you check in the blocker UI if some domains are blocked ? Tried to unblock ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vince31fr:

If you want to use some Google maps, this rom isn't for you. It doesn't have Gapps, it has microg, Google stuff requires Google play services. Some apps do work with microg, others don't. U have to use alternative apps for that and you have to know how to turn on the GPS modules.

Yes actually we left the default user DNS, usually its provider's one.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vince31fr:
One of our objective is to provide a coherent set of default apps, to provide all the basic stuff a new user may need. We agree that this principle is questionable, as well as the apps we chose. We plan to provide a way to delete and/or choose the default apps.

By the meantime, you can delete what you want through adb root : simply delete the corresponding folders in /product/app and product/priv-app.

Hi, I want to flash and try this privacy-friendly version of Android.

There is a flashing guide on the ROMs Gitlab page. But there is nothing mentioning TWRP recovery.

I've TWRP-recovery 3.3.1 installed. Can I flash it like a normal custom ROM like RR, Alexis Rom or crDroid...?

If not, then why?

Yes, you can flash with twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Pehpe:
I already flashed it on sunday. I really like this ROM. The first flashing with TWRP was without any issue and faster than with most other ROMs.

Today i just flashed the White Wolf Kernel. I will give it a try.

Please keep up this awesome ROM. You're needed here. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Pehpe:
Unnecessary comment. Because you're not clarifying what you mean with "unwanted". What apps do you mean? The iodé news app or what?

And you're maybe not enough privacy-aware to see the benefit of an ungoogled LineageOS.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] vince31fr:
Thanks for your comments!

I suppose that "unwanted apps" may be QKSMS, Carnet, or Magic Earth, ... It is true that we made some choices that cannot suit everyone. One of our goal is to propose a complete experience to newcomers, as easy as possible to setup, with all the basic stuff that everyone needs in a smartphone; that's why we included many apps.

But we are also conscious that many users would like to remove/replace some of them, so we'll soon begin to work on an easy way to choose apps during setup (while still being able to reinstall them without internet access) and remove/readd them at any time.

By the meantime, advanced users can remove them by adb.

Hi,

First of all I like your ROM and thanks very much for it. I plan to use it as my primary ROM.

I have few questions or suggestions :

1. Can you please provide some documentation for iodé AD/malware blocker ? I mean what source lists does it use, can those be configured ? Most answers i have found on your web page here : https://iode.tech/en/iode-solution/

2. Is it possible to replace default camera ? I tried install this one : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sityware.camera_mod_samsung_s9_bitrate_settings and ended up in boot freeze and had to wipe data. I am not complaining, just asking :)

Thank you @vince31fr! This ROM seems very promising and I would not be surprised to find an audit at 'Kuketz IT-Security Blog' in future [provider of the captiveportal.kuketz.de connectivity check]. :)

Is there a preferred way of cloning apps, i.e., to use the same messenger with both dual-SIM phone numbers?
