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.

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.
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? I didn't use LineageOS for quite a while so please forgive me, if I have overlooked this feature. // Edit: Shelter seems to work great! But it is tricky to transfer contacts to the isolated space...


sorry. i might have used the wrong twrp. Its working now..
Which (TWRP) recovery are you using now?

    Introduction

    iodéOS is a privacy-focused operating system powered by LineageOS and based on the Android mobile platform. iodéOS aims at protecting the user's privacy with a built-in adblocker and by freeing the smartphone from snitches.

    The objectives in the conception of this ROM are threefold:

    1. To keep the stability and security level of LineageOS, by minimizing the modifications made to the system. Apart the system modifications required by the adblocker, we mainly only added a few useful options commonly found in other custom ROMs, made some cosmetic changes, modified a few default settings to prevent data leaks to Google servers.
    2. To ease a quick adoption of this ROM by new users. We especially target users that are concerned by the protection of their privacy, but are not reluctant to still use inquisitive apps like Google ones. We thus included MicroG as well as a coherent set of default apps, and simplified the initial setup of the system. Particularly, an initialization of MicroG has been made with GCM notifications allowed by default, a privacy-friendly network location provider (DéjàVu) pre-selected, as well as Nominatim Geocoder.
    3. To provide a new and powerful way of blocking ads, malwares, data leaks of all kinds to many intrusive servers. We are developing an analyzer, tightly integrated into the system, that captures all DNS requests and network traffic, as well as a user interface (the iodé app). Compared to some other well-known adblockers, this has the advantages of:
      • Avoiding to lock the VPN for that use. You can even use another adblocker that uses VPN technology alongside our blocker.
      • Being independent of the kind of DNS server used by the system or set by an independent app: classical DNS on UDP port 53 or any other one, DNS over TLS (DoT), DNS over HTTPS (DoH), ..., as we capture the DNS requests before they are transmitted to the system function that emits the DNS request. What we do not support, is DoH when it is natively built into applications, i.e. when an app communicates directly with a DoH server, without asking name resolution to the system. It would require to decrypt HTTPS packets between such an app and the DoH server, which may create a big security hole.
      • Precisely mapping DNS requests and network packets to the Android apps that emitted (or received) them.
      • Deciding which apps have a filtered network usage (by default, all apps), and which ones can communicate with blacklisted servers.
      Since its first versions, we added many features to the iodé blocker: several levels of protection, fine-grained control over the hosts that should be blocked or authorized, displaying statistics on a map to see the quantity of data exchanged to which countries, clearing statistics... We are actively developing the blocker, and new functionalities will be regularly added.

    Features

    Changes in LineageOS to prevent data leaks:

    • Default DNS server: Google's DNS replaced by Quad9's 'unblocked' servers in all parts of the system.
    • A-GPS: patches to avoid leaking personnal information like IMSI to supl server.
    • Captive portal login: connectivitycheck.gstatic.com replaced by captiveportal.kuketz.de for connectivity check.
    • Dialer: Google default option replaced by OpenStreetMap for phone number lookup.

    Pre-installed apps:

    We included many useful default apps, but our choice cannot suit everyone; so we added the possibility to remove them. It can be done at the end of the phone setup, or at any time by going to Parameters -> Apps & Notifications -> Preinstalled apps.

    • MicroG core apps: GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore.
    • NLP backends for MicroG : DejaVuNLPBackend (default), MozillaNLPBackend, AppleNLPBackend, RadioCellsNLPBackend, Nominatim Geocoder.
    • App stores : FDroid (with F-Droid Privileged Extension) and Aurora Store.
    • Browser: our own fork of Firefox (with Qwant as default search engine, many other ones added, telemetry disabled, parts of telemetry code removed) instead of Lineage’s default browser Jelly.
    • SMS: QKSMS instead of Lineage's default SMS app.
    • Email: p≡p (Pretty Easy Privacy).
    • Camera: our own fork of Open Camera, with a few tweaks.
    • Maps/navigation: Magic Earth GPS & Navigation (the only one free but not open source).
    • Keyboard: OpenBoard instead of AOSP keyboard.
    • PDF: Pdf Viewer Plus.
    • Personnal notes: Carnet.
    • {Ad/Malware/Data leak}-blocker: iodé.
    • News: to keep users informed about our developments, as well as a FAQ.
    • Meteo: Geometric Weather.

    Pre-included FDroid repository:

    The apps that we tweak or develop (microG services, the browser based on Firefox, the News app, Open Camera ...) are available through a repository that we included in FDroid (check the "Apps for iodéOS" category). For this purpose and to avoid name conflicts of some apps, we also had to make a few changes in FDroid.

    Useful options from other custom ROMs:
    • Smart charging (disables charging when a given level is reached, to protect battery health).
    • Fingerprint vibration toggle.
    • Swipe down to clear all in recent apps (Android 10 only).
