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

Hi!
I have sucessfully updated my not rooted but encrypted phone via the Updater App to the beta version a few days ago. Everything went smooth for me.
Greetings, Alex

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 you can only give and restrict groups of permissions?). If you really care about this aspect, search for more info online.
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.
