According first post you find detailed installation instructions here:
I flashed this ROM several weeks ago and have been using it daily without any issues. I love the control I have over my apps and I've never been happier to finally ditch big brother G. Many thanks to the iodé team!

Using this for the last 3 days and loving it, especially with Smart charging built in. Save me the reason to root. But about the adblocker, does it suspose to block all ads from every app like youtube and reddit too? Cuz I'm still getting the home feed ad even on Youtube vanced and sponsored post in Reddit.

I can't get USB OTG to work.
I know the phone itself is OTG capable, but is Iodé?
If I want to switch to "This device" as the controlling device, "switching not possible" is shown.

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:
- 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).

The main reasons for the choice of Magic Earth over Osmand: it is simpler to use, and has real-time traffic information. There's not perfect choice...
The blocker can be deactivated globally on its home page, or app by app on the report page. However, statistics are still collected. We will add a 'mute' function, to avoid statistics collection. Both (block and mute) will be able to be combined: mute but still block, unmute and unblock, ...
Some of the main advantages of a low-level blocker like the one were're implementing:
- there's no need to root the phone (for Adaway, root is required)
- VPN remains free
- the blocker is a low-level system process which cannot be killed by the Android memory management
- it is implemented with efficiency and security in mind (c++ with RAII principle as much a possible, multi-threaded, specific sepolicy rules)
- fine-grained control over which app may be blocked (and/or muted in a future version)
- very accurate statistics: we can track exactly which app makes which DNS request, which app sends or receives which packet on the network, the quantity of data exchanged, source/destination, ports, ...
- in addition to DNS blocking (equivalent to a hosts file based method like Adaway for global blocking of all apps), we can also block network packets whose source or destination IP address has recently been associated to a domain in the black list.
- we will be able to make even more fine-grained tuning, like deciding that a domain must blocked for a given app but unblocked for another app, and many more
