Android version?

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

Thanks for the help @SmoothMarx!
I've been researching it and if/when I root my phone, I'll be back here to find out how to get the beta version of f.lux on my S6.

@lorna Hello!
I have a rooted OnePlus 2 with OxygenOS 2.1.2 (Android 5.1.1) and I would like to have access to the beta. I've discovered the Windows version some days ago and I fell in love with it.

Thanks in advance,
L

@gloomy @andeveryoneelse there is already a thread for this
"Android version you have internally" is the thread you'll want to go to.

Running it on my nexus 5. It starts up everytime i reboot the phone, part from that, it works perfectly. You can really tell a difference when comparing it to other services like twilight. Its more visible and at the same time easier on the eyes! Can't wait for this to leave beta!
