Hello guys,
I have some trouble to make the GPS work.
It says i have no GPS signal.
Maybe i have to move a bit so it detect more antennas ?
No problem with gps on my device. You may try to delete assistance data with an app like gpstest.

For FL Studio, I install a moded version wich worked with microG, after the update to Iodé 3.4-2 ( I don't care, because I got the license at my name, but so happy I can compose stuff everywhere then import it in FL Studio on my computer ).Only 1 week later I notice that Kernel Adiutor have not root acess anymore...About FL studio : if you really want try to make it run, you should take a logcat and open an issue at microg issue tracker on github.
Happy to see iodé can be useful to musicians ;-)

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
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.
- 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.
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).

Yes you can delete or deactivate everything you want and you can reinstall it if you need or want ( I am on a rooted phone ).Is there a version of iodeOS without microG?
If not is there a method to fully remove microG from iodeOS?
Yes you can delete or deactivate everything you want and you can reinstall it if you need or want ( I am on a rooted phone ).
Here I've deleted the Apple and Mozilla server for geolocalisation. The 3rd screen capture is after the reboot ( "redémarrage" ). And the MicroG Framework proxy ( because I won't use an ap that use googlecloud ) after reading this https://microg.org/.
I've changed Qsms for Chomp SMS.
I've uninstalled the email default ap ( I use tutanota and protonmail ),
uninstalled aurorastore and F-droid ( I use only APK ),
AudioFX, magnetophone, music, radio FM ((musicolet is complete with a good EQ , I don't listen to FM radio, LexisAudio to record sound ),
open camera ( I prefer HedgeCam ),
weather, agenda, carnet, pdf viewer plus ( I use some good websites for the meteo, another open source agenda agenda, Safe Notes, Xodo Pdf, Collabora Office ect... ).
Before to use Iodé Os I've made my own degoogleised Lineage Os 18.1, on my sony Xperia X ( it was a big waste of time, but I've learned a lot ), it took time for a newbie to understand servers used to geolocalisate your mobile, then how to change them ( you need to type line in a console ).
Then I used AF firewall to block every GAFAM **** ( but I missed a lot of url for sure, the iodé blocked urls list is 20 times bigger than my old one ! iodé ap is better than AF firewall because of this native list).
It took one month for me to ( baddly ) degooglise my lineage os 18.1 on Xperia X, so when I've changed my phone for a USB-c one ( Sony XA2 - I need to record sound with a USB-C Rode AI soundcard , Xperia X is not compatible cause micro-usb ), I search for a predegooglised exploitation android compatible system on XDA... and tried iodé os, and kept it.
Some aps won't start without the fakestore ( FL Studio don't work without microG for ewample ), and Map's ap won't work except if GPS sattellite can reach your phone, with some latency sometime ( I have some issue with my degoogleised lineage os, because I didn't want microG, because I didn't understand it ).So there is no standalone version of idoeOS without microG?
The steps you listed seem like "alot" manual work.
I have no trust in deleting or uninstalling app will truely wipe all traces of said app from the device.
Best option would be to not have any preinstalled unwanted apps to begin with.
I dont have the technical knownledge you seem to have, i just want privacy.
Sailfish is nice), but price of AppSupport is stealing me second phone.. max. 19.9€ with update access & no question supportSome aps won't start without the fakestore ( FL Studio don't work without microG for ewample ), and Map's ap won't work except if GPS sattellite can reach your phone, with some latency sometime ( I have some issue with my degoogleised lineage os, because I didn't want microG, because I didn't understand it ).
Bur iodé ap is a firewall with some complexity, you have to learn how to use it...
May be you can try 'sailfish os' ?

report says iode connects to google
Take this ROM as it is!If i disable push notifications during the setup wizard why would i follow any of the other steps, you made it sound like turning that off will eliminate microG on the device.
I see no logic in turning off cloud messaging and safetynet in microG settings when i already disabled microG during the setup.
Same goes for preinstalled apps, why uninstall microG core services and other stuff when i've already turned it off during the setup..
This has nothing to do with the desire of a single user, you adverstise iodeOS as a privacy operatingsystem, google is the exact opposite of privacy so as a logical conclusion iode should NEVER have any connections to google.
Atleast provide an option during the setup that will prevent microG from even installing in the first place, let those who want to use microG use it but don't force it on those who don't...
From reading your reply, disabling push notifications during the setup will not disable microG otherwise you wouldn't have listed the other steps.
microG must be optional and not forced onto people.
