Stuck optimizing apps after updating on FP Open OS 16.07.1

[DominikG]

After updating to FP Open OS 16.07.1 (running with GAPPS), my phone is stuck “optimizing apps” over and over.
My phone is encrypted & succesfully booted after the update & even displayed the homescreen correctly.
Then, it suddenly rebooted to optimize apps and got stuck in an infinite loop there.

I disconnected the charger and wiped the cache, as suggested here but to no avail as my phone is encrypted and TWRP is Version 2.8.7.0.

Is there any solution for this apart from factory reset?
And is the current version of TWRP included in the update to FP Open 16.07.1 so if this happens again I can at least backup (which, obviously I should’ve done before, but I thought meh - just some minor security updates. . .)

Thanks for your help!

Did you have Gapps installed?
Then download the latest version on your SD card and install it again via TWRP.

I did have Gapps installed & thanks for the prompt reply!
I don’t have an SD card on me right now, but I will try this evening and let you know if it worked.

Thanks again

Maybe it will help others to post a GAPPS version number (>=) that works well with 16.07.1?

Update Guide for a modified FP Open OS (with Gapps, Xposed and more)

When having other packages installed with FP Open OS (e.g. opengapps or xposed) it is possible that you will get stuck in a bootloop after an update, if not installing these packages again. Because these additional tools are installed on the /system partition, you need to reinstall them after every update, since the /system partition gets overwritten during the update. However, you should not loose data or settings, which are stored on your /data partition. If you have not modified your FPOOS …
