I already looked at /e/, a degoogled Android ROM a while back, but now, it's time to try something closer to stock Android, with added privacy: @iode.

Not only does it give you a fully open source experience in terms of apps, but it also blocks all trackers and ads by default, in all apps, with a stock Android experience.

Let's take a look at how it compares!

Degoogled, Private Custom Android ROM: how does IODÉ OS compare?

@thelinuxEXP @iode a couple of big flaws for me at least in the US is that deGoogled ROMs don't support my banking and usually strip support for hardware 2fa keys like NitroKey or Yubikey, does Iode have this support? I'm seriously considering switching to an iPhone at this point.

@Sh4d0w_H34rt @thelinuxEXP @iode GrapheneOS might be the way. Instead of microG it sandboxes Google Play Services so you get the same experience as on stock android but with more control so that Google can't track you like it usually does.

I recommend Louis Rossmann's video on it. TechLore might have something there as well.

@runarcn I ran GrapheneOS for a while and no even with the sandboxing my banking app refused to work, also trying to get help on issues were problematic with the developer getting into flame wars with rivals in my mentions on Twitter. You mentioned Techlore so have you seen this? Many of the claims made I happen to have experienced so I believe its accurate.
