Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this Android 7 (Nougat)?
A: Yes, this is Android 7.1.2

Q: What code is Oct-N based on?
A: This version of Oct-N is based on LineageOS 14.1

Q: Why isn't there XYZ 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 all the others have...
A: ROM developers, 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-N.

Q: What about root?
A: Root is removed by default (users will be able to flash which ever root zip they want)

Hi, i have a problem with transfering files via USB. When i connect USB into PC it doesnt show anything on PC. Any ideas? It didn´t work for me even on the Crdroid ROM.

I have a battery drain problem. It drains the battery very quickly. i suspect the CPU, because, even when i have battery saving on, it doesnt shut down any cores. When i had EMUI, it shuted down the quicker cores for battery saving when the phone didnt do anything diffiult. Like just browsing internet. When i playes some games it turned on the quicker cores.
Any ideas how to set it? Perhaps ROM Update?
Thansk in advance

What about enabling debugging mode in Developer settings? And when you are connecting you device to PC it askes everytime if it should just charge battery or transfer files... You need to enable transfer files...

yeah, i enabled all of it, tried every option and still nothing. Windows recognize it but doesnt show it in my computer or anywhere else. It works fine with other phones so.
