Android version?
-
@lorna Is it possible for us to sign up to be notified when an Android version is available?
-
I would also like to know if you guys are working on an Android version. Also, thank you for the hard, but important work you're doing.
-
@Ahmad-Ghadiri yes, you can message me for access to the beta if you have a rooted phone.

@janhunt Not presently, if you have a rooted phone you can sign up for beta access.
-
@Mara-Renae-Law thank you. We are, I hope we'll have something for you soon. For rooted phones it's available now.
-
I'm going to apologize in advance for my ignorance, because I have no idea what a rooted phone is or how I can root mine. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 if that helps.

@f-lux-team @lorna I have a rooted Nexus 5 & 7 (2013), both running stock 6.0.1. I'd love to sign up for beta access if that's ok.

having a rooted phone/obtaining root on a phone/ to have root
allows you to modify, add or delete system files within the Android OS. Basically, it's like receiving all access for your phone, kinda like an admin account on Windows or a router, for example, but more powerful. It enables you to do anything with your phone, even if it wasn't intended by the manufacturer. This includes things like installing custom versions of different operating systems, deleting unwanted apps or, in this case, installing 3rd-party or unverified apps. Another thing rooting allows you to do is change system settings that otherwise would not be available for developers to tinker with. And this is why f.lux needs root on a device in order to work. So it may override system settings and allow the app to do its job.
"Root" has a deeper meaning related to computers in general, I invite you to research the term on Google, since it's really cool
