[HOWTO] ✏ Compiling Fairphone Open OS / Rooting

Hello there,
thanks for the reply! To be honest, I’m not so sure about the “just” in “just try it”.
While I know my way around Linux, this is my first Android phone, so I have no clue about the stuff going on here.

The only thing I found on the forums is this thread:

It leads me to believe that I need a recovery thingy to be able to unpack the zip I get from the openGAPPS website. But I don’t understand whether all the steps described there are necessary and/or if I can just use the recovery image provided in the thread. It doesn’t include the blobs, and I don’t know if that restricts the functionality of the FP.
I guess I should ask these questions in the thread, but if you have some advice I would love to hear it.
