some other apps do use overlays were named is this thread:

Unable to install apps from APKs

When I open an .apk file, a permission screen pops up (as expected). If there’s many of them, I can scroll the page just fine. At the bottom, Cancel and Install buttons are visible. Tapping on Cancel closes the window (again as expected) however tapping on Install does absolutely nothing. It appears as if that part of the screen was non-functional except that it works fine outside of the permission screen. I have unknown sources and privacy impact enabled. I have tried rebooting. I have tried…

On the other side, the unresponsiveness of the Install button is probably caused by an screen overlay app.

Good hint. I have been testing such an app in the past days, so that may have triggered the install issue.
Downloading apps from fdroid worked again after some reboots, so maybe nothing wrong actually on my side.

Thanks for the hint!

Tell me, did you tried a full reflash with fastboot?I mean reflash all the parts of the OS: Modem, Software, kernel, recovery etc.?

Hey, I didn’t update you. Reflashing fixed nothing. Thank you for your help, though,

I’m taking a break of my troublesome FP2 until Marshmallow arrives (and a new workflow of the FP Team, hopefully). I refurbished a Moto G and I’m happily running OmniROM 6.0 + microG on it. In the meantime, the screen module of my FP2 is being used by a familiar of mine, which suddenly saw the left side of their screen not working and it’s waiting for a repair.

Hmm, will there be a 17.01, or will it be skipped, as February security fixes is only three days away (probably)

[leVin42]

Maybe it’ll be skipped in favour of some sweet Marshmallows!

Coming back to my post. Looks like the reboots were caused by something different:

Only quirks with this uptime: it looks like mobile data is more fragile. I have extended times with no signal, where i used to have signal earlier. But this might be something else. Did not want to check as i wanted to work on my uptime. Reboot only with 17.01, or will this be 17.02?
