Hello! Hope everyone had a great launch event (whish I could’ve been there). Has anyone tested the update on an encrypted and/or rooted phone yet? Cheers, Niels

Updating with a rooted phone is not a problem. You’ll just have to do it manually if you did any modifications (rooted FP OS, flashed XPosed/OpenGAPPS/…).

I also upgraded it with a rooted device: Download zip Install with TWRP the ota and xposed (sdk23!) Install new boot Worked without problems for me.

Thanks for the replies! I won’t be needing root after the upgrade, since I only use it to restrict app permissions.

I got my hands on an Android 6 phone one time and checked out restricting app permissions. I can’t compare it to what Xprivacy may offer because I haven’t checked that out yet, but if you consider the myriad of individual permissions and sub-permissions available, it seemed rather basic to me (maybe…

I already did all the research. The Android 6 permission system is fine for me. Not using XPosed anyway, since it was rather unstable when I tried it.

Hi Niels I’ve done the update on an encrypted and rooted phone, thinking it was fully official, without any problem. Done again the rooting after: all good. It seems the FP2 is running a bit faster with Android 6.

Uuuh! Thanks for all the input. Can’t wait for the update to drop :slight_smile:
