Frequently Asked Questions
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 dev 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 (or don't want), feel free to use XYZ ROM, or build your own custom version of Octo-Kat

Bugs:

Let us know if you run into bugs. Get Syslog from the Android Market, if you don't already have it. No logs and we can only try to recreate the event off of vague descriptions. Please also include what you were doing when it FCed or failed. Logs can be emailed to: [email protected]

5. Clear Dalvik/Cache
6. Reboot

A Note about the Team OctOs GApps
We in Team OctOs believe in choices. We believe in leaving the fundamental decisions about your phone to you.

In that spirit, Team OctOs gives you options for your GApps experiences. While any ODEX'ed GApps package should work, we offer you the choice of using some of the same GApps packages that we use ourselves, and leave the choice up to you.

You can find our Team OctOs GApps packages here, and break down into the following types:

• GPe - Google Experience
  
  • Regular GPe GApps
  • Dalvik-Enhanced GPe GApps
• AOSP
  
  • AOSP GApps
  • Dalvik-Enhanced AOSP GApps

The Dalvik-Enhanced packages are NOT ART compatible. If you plan to run ART, don't use those.

Special thanks to

• @broodplank1337 for the great aosp source to start
• @buckmarble for helping on a lot of random issues. :good:
• @JBirdVegas for giving a hand with error logs
  
  We would also like to thank
• CyanogenMod for their device specific files and drivers
• ChameleonOS
• SlimROM
• OmniROM
• Anyone else who has ever submitted Open-Source code

We will only update the DevDB with Stable Releases, whenever possible. This means that the DevDB may be behind non-milestone releases. If you have an issue with compulsive flashing, or feel the need to live 'life on the edge of brick', we invite you to follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter. Any dailies that can be released, we will release there. Please note, we pull these releases after a day or two, so if the latest link posted there is empty, simply wait until the next one.

While we are certainly not requiring donations or money. But donations of money or devices will certainly speed along development. We plan to purchase and build 3 identical servers to be able to handle the work load of building our ROMs. Hosting, Electricity, and Parts alone are out of pocket at this point. But we love what we do. So, if you feel led to send us a device(even old ones you've moved on from, or new ones) or small donations towards our server project we'd be extremely appreciative. Contact @Dubbsy for device donations. He will make sure they get to each team member as needed. Thanks to all the users who make it feel like we are doing something that people enjoy!

Just saying hello. We are here to be different and to tell noobs what they need to hear.

Our mission statement is REAL AOSP(not CM)+GPE+OctSettings = Team-OctOS.

Enjoy the ROM. We as a team are ever expanding and are working on adding more devices daily. Treken and I are normally nose deep in code. So don't expect us to be around non stop.

Just tried flashing with the latest twrp and it failed.

 

[mikew29]

Just got it running. Looks pretty nice. One feature request. Would it be possible to use the aokp nav bar vs. The cm navbar? I'm asking because I like to add a few custom apps to the nav bar (eg phone, hangouts) so I don't need to use launcher space for them.
Thank you for the build, much appreciated. Its always good to see new ROMs for a device.

@Calvin check to see if signatures are needed on twrp under twrp advanced settings. I had that issue with omnirom. My first boot didn't get past the Samsung logo, but rebooting started right up.

We don't use CM's Trebuchet launcher. We use aosp but our gapps replaces with Google launcher. Sometimes I use Nova which is free and has many options as a free alternative.

So far so good. I used PHilZ recovery to flash and no issues, just flashed the ROM and Gapps, said no to root the device and then let sit. i then setup my account and then rebooted and flashed the 1.86 SU update zip in recovery and all is working well. I like the cleanliness of having the mods all under dev settings. Using KT's kernel (just because I'm used to it) and his settings. Good to see a nice AOSP rom over here. I might need to read up some on davlik optomized apps. Great work and thanks for sharing your work

Us cellular and Sprint the only files showing on the site? Maybe they are uploading new ones. The ROM ran smooth just didn't care for the gapps missing the messaging app, I don't care for using hangouts for messaging.

Messaging app is still packed with the ROM, hangouts gives you the option of using it, but you can turn it off.

The builds are coming. We had some updates to include and I'm writing thru the build outs now. They'll be up once as they complete.

Appreciate the explanation of what's going on. The reason I said that about the messaging is because I never saw a messaging app icon in the drawer. I did see two phone icons? I will probably wait until the new release b4 I flash again. I really loved the ROM it was butta, and that's a fact Jack.

Two phone icons is because GPe gapps has the Google dialer. Need to keep the original dialer or it doesn't work.

As for the messaging app, you're right. Dubbsy may have removed it, I'll ask him

I am really digging the rom with the clean look and especially what the other person mentioned about all of the options being in the development menu. It really gives it that stock feel. I am so excited about Octo now that I have fire up the old Kubuntu side and am Repo syncing right now . Keep up the great work and of course my next stop is rating the thread.

I downloaded it the other day when it was up. I also am in the process of building a ROM based off the latest source off github.

You need to set up your build environment. Then you should look at our source, especially "platform_manifest". We should have a new build up tonight or tomorrow morning. Everyone has been uber busy on our team.

 

[neo4uo]

I set a build environment up and have a slow machine was about done and accidentally exited the terminal window . Anywho I was using your source I love github Anything I can do to help your team. Love your ROM and concept and even the logo
