After reaching the preorder Goal what are the next steps? Will the next steps be visable to the community? Can we get some Pictures from the upcomming production steps? It would be grate to see the conversion from raw materials to the finished product step by step.

…root is a must in my opinion, root on fp1 was argued with: fairness to cutomers…why not at fp2?

It is the first time I heard that FP2 will not be rooted. But anyhow I do not think it will be extremely difficult. With other devices by Samsung it is also very easy manageable. But having root access to your phone is very important imho. I would also be very interested about FP’s steps towards t…

In some other threads, it is argued that coming prerooted can put users that are not that knowledgable under a higher risk of malware attacks. I personally support that claim and prefer for users to activly decide to “enable root” on their devices. I hope there will be an easy way to do that.

[image] h_robi: if there are plans to make the rather weak battery of the FP2 stronger? From which you have your info about a “weak” battery? Only the capacaity is known AFAIK (2420mAh), right? Let’s re-formulate it maybe other way round ( acording to my previous post ): 1.) Community is int…

[image] therob: 2.) Why the soft-button for navigation have been prefered over the nice working capacitive hardware buttons of the FP1, (maybe just optimized for backlight)? Soft buttons are the preferred implementation by Google since several years now. The reason for that is a better usabil…

Also soft buttons make it easier to implement alternative OSes, since other OSes probably use another key layout.

Also also :wink: having soft buttons means you can, by way of apps/configuration changes, alter the buttons if perhaps you want to change the order of them etc

But having hardware buttons does not mean you are not allowed to activate the software buttons (as a FP programmer), right? Needing more technique for the hardware buttons is a valid point, sure (a lot more?) I am only curios/sceptical if I will get used to the software buttons which are hanging a…

But why would you want two lines of buttons (software buttons above the hardware buttons)? You will gt used to it. The same as I got used to FP1’s “hardware buttons” after the real Nokia-hard-buttons on my C5-00 .

So are there any new Pictures off the ramp up Phase of production?
