thanks m8.
does anybody know what changes are made?

I've installed it from the previous 5.1.1 and all went smoothly. Xposed works fine.

I feel like the notification bar slides down slightly differently, but that could just be me not noticing the difference before.
The camera opens very quickly.

It appears - very early days yet - to have fixed a wifi <-> mobile data transition issue I had where it would take a minute for mobile data to connect after wifi was disabled. Perhaps if this is a carrier update, then maybe this was a bug that was fixed and only happened on certain carriers.

Haven't noticed any other changes so far.

Is stamina mode working properly now?Any other changes?

 

[Muuuly]

At least all (known) stagefright vulnerabilities are fixed in 14.6.A.1.216
(according to Zimperium Stagefright Detector)

 

[monkei34]

can safely move from .270 to 14.6.A.1.216 ?
directly without making gains no crossing over to flash zip?
