Post-Update Changes. Can They Be Changed Back?

Abot the texting app:

The old SMS app (also called Messaging) which has the green chat icon with a white smiley, was deprecated mid-2016. Since then, the Google Messenger app - with a blue/purple rounded icon - was shipped (and was default on new installations) but both were present until now.
With Android 6, the old SMS app is not provided anymore, but the SMS are still there and accessible by any SMS app. The Google Messenger app is installed on the phone by default but you can still install another app.

About all the other changes:

FP (Open) OS Feature Requests, Marshmallow Style

#Bring back the FP specific #features AFAIK the plan is to release the (code of the) old launcher, lockscreen (widget, mood changer too?), … so the community can maintain them as Apps e.g. on F-Droid. I just post this here as a little reminder.

So in short: No, at the moment it’s not possible to get the look and feel of the old FP OS back.
