Hello everyone,

how are you doing?

I really want to use Android Auto with my phone, but it will not run on FP OS. Now I am thinking about running the regular Android simultaneously on my FP2.

Does anyone have experience with this? Does this work well?

Cheers,
David

Could you please clarify – FP OS on the FP2 usually means Fairphone OS = a Google certified stock Android (i.e. including Play Store, Google Mobile Services etc.). Or did you mean Fairphone Open = Android without the Google additions?

Maybe I got you worng, but you can’t run two different Android versions on a phone at the same time.
Or do you think about kind of a boot manager?

Hi Urs,

I am so sorry. I am with Fairphone Open. Thinking of adding Fairphone OS.

Cheers,

Thanks for the fast replies, guys! Ah, i wasn’t aware of that. I thought you could have multiple Android-Versions on your phone like having different operating systems on your computer. Is that not the case?

Correct, it’s not possible to run more than one partition on the FP2.
