• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

Disclaimer: OctOs is a WIP. It has been evaluated as being stable, and is suitable for
daily use in most cases. While it may be considered stable, there may be unknown bugs.
The development team is not responsible for any damage to your device or your
information
As The Phone is OnePlus One The Warranty is Not Void even after flashing custom ROM and Unlocking.
Here Is Team OctOs Oct-L and Now Oct-M For OnePlus One Bacon
Tem OctOs maintain a current release record and change-log on our website: http://www.teamoctos.com

Basic Instructions:
  • Download ROM .zip file and MD5 file
  • Grab your favourite Android 5.x based GApps package
  • Reboot to Recovery (Note: Use Reboot to Recovery from Power Menu, Hardware-based boot to recovery, or adb reboot recovery - ROM Manager or similar software is NOT supported)
  • --- TWRP is the ONLY recovery Team OctOs uses - We do not support flashing on CWM ---
  • Factory Reset from TWRP
  • Flash ROM and GApps .ZIP files
  • Reboot

The Oct-OS ROM installation script will automatically wipe /system, /cache, and /data/dalvik-cache. There is no need to do these before or after flashing the ROM unless you are instructed to by your GApps Provider

The foundation of the Android OS is the fact that is it open-source. We have all code we use internally in the creation of Oct-L available on our GitHub repositories.

Unless otherwise specified, all Oct-L builds use the device's stock CyanogenMod 12.1/13 kernel.

Features Includes :
  • Separate Settings Menu ( you can even disable that menu If you don't love to use it)
  • Themes Manager (CM)
  • Heds Up and other Notification enhance ment
  • Omni switch
  • Navbar and button customization
  • app circle Bar Gesture anywhere Lock screen
  • Power menu Super Su Included In ROM
DownLoad

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 5 (Lollipop)?
A: Yes, this is Android 5.1.1

Q: What code is Oct-L based on?
A: Starting with Oct-L, we've rebased OctOs on the CyanogenMod 12.1 code.

Q: What happened to AOSP?
A: All Android code is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Under previous releases, we tried very hard to limit the number of "Not from Google directly" repositories that we used. Unfortunately, issues with devices, the need for Code Aurora Foundation (CAF) repositories for Qualcomm devices, and compatibility issues meant fighting code more often than not. We decided that since the code-base for many repositories were the same across most ROMs, picking a starting point to build the user experience on outweighed the desire to craft code from scratch, or fix broken code to make it work with other changes we already had.*

Q: Why isn't there XXXXXXX feature.
A: Shoot us a Suggestion if you want to see something added. While we are not going to promise to implement, we will always look into it

Q: But CM and all the others have..
A: ROM developers, including CM, build something they want to use. The ROM developer that includes something they won't run implies less than 100% effort to ensure it does work. As a team, we have similar goals and objectives. If XYZ ROM has a feature you want, and we don't include (or don't want to include), feel free to use XYZ ROM, or build your own custom version of Oct-L.

Q: Superuser or SuperSU?
A: Team OctOs uses SuperSU and is installed automatically.

Bugs:​
Bugs happen. Our testers are very good at breaking things, but no where near as good as the rest of the Android public. In order to investigate and fix issues, we need the help of the users who are going to report them. The Android OS has many nifty features to help us in this, but only if we can engage the user to assist us.

Logs, Logcat, and the Android Debugging Bridge (ADB)
Like any other OS, Android has multiple log files that are generated and record the goings-on of the system. As a user, you have two basic ways to view and pull these to send to us. Without the information in the logfiles, there simply is not a whole lot of information to go on.

Log file APKs
Team OctOs recommends SysLog from the Android Market. This application will allow you to selectively pick any (or all) of the system logs, compress them into a .ZIP file, and allow you to save, email, move to your Copy/DropBox/Cloud Storage account, etc.

ADB Logcat
The Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) is a powerful tool available from Google as part of the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). Used for many things, being able to selectively see, in real-time, what your device is doing cannot be downplayed. While there is more setup involved, if you are doing consistent ROM flashing, you really should invest the time to get setup properly to do it.

I am travelling dude ... and internet is already fluctuating !! So was expecting some reviews from people so that when i get back i would flash this in no time .

the rom is smooth mate.. But really basic when it comes to customizations.. Really basic.. Cm stuff and couple of added things.. Too early to comment on battery life..
