Is there a thread for Oct-N for the d2tmo? I was wondering if anyone could help me disable the transparent lockscreen. It really slows down my phone.

Settings -> Security -> Tap gear next to "screen lock" -> Blur Background is last item in list.

Check my post history to find the Oct-N thread.

Thank you so much! Also, I just got a notification for an OTA update. Would I just download the zip and the rom itself can install the update?

No, the OTA updater just notifies you when a new build goes up. You can click on the build right from the updater & the DL will begin. You still have to flash the update manually in TWRP.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 6 (Marshmallow)?
A: Yes, this is Android 6.0.1

Q: What code is Oct-M based on?
A: Starting with Oct-L, we've rebased OctOs on the CyanogenMod 12 code. Oct-M is base on CyanogenMod 13.

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 XYZ and 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-M.

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.

ADB Logcat tutorial here: How to create a logcat log


Basic Instructions:

1. Download ROM .zip file and MD5 file, and grab your favourite Opengapps package http://opengapps.org/
2. 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 ---
3. Factory Reset from TWRP
4. Flash ROM and GApps .ZIP files
5. Reboot

The Oct-M 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-M available on our GitHub repositories.

Unless otherwise specified, all Oct-M builds use the device's stock CyanogenMod 13 kernel.
Kraken kernel source code can be found here: https://github.com/Oct-mm

nice rom

I just flashed my mom's phone with this ROM and its amazing. Everything seems to work so far though I did find one issue. The front facing camera recording does not seem to work with the Viber app. I've tested it with skype and it works. I was wondering if anyone have the same issue? just reporting the info for the devs
Unfortunately, I have to find another rom since my mom uses this app. Great work nonetheless.

Not trying to necro or anything, but I tried to download this using the website as the post directed and it said, "No Mirror." Anyone have this ROM and want to share or perhaps know of a way to notify them on Androidfilehost if the link is bad?

Also, if someone can confirm this link is not working for them as well that would be terrific.

Edit: Just to confirm, I have this ROM now and found it on basketbuild also as directed. Just wanted to clarify and try to ge tthat file updated since the one I wanted was the latest 4/20/2017 build.

Hi I know this thread is not much active for past couple months but I cant resist to ask help in sorting out my problem, Recently I installed your octos M,Open gapps(Micro,mini) and upgraded baseband and booted my s3 d2tmo,everything was fine At first I faced some battery drain problem and little by little it sorted out bt later real problem came that when i installed some apps from playstore(To be specific they are whatsapp,samsung internet browser,shareit) the phone suddenly goes into bootloop and never pass after the "Android starting popup".
This bootloop occurs right after the app is installed.I even used both micro and mini package as I never helped out by the both,even I tried both R2 and R3 bt the same problem occurred.
I moved from pacman 5.1 which I almost used for more than 2 years and it suddenly went into bootloop when I updated whatsapp. To mention I was so happy with Pacman and even I enjoyed Octos bt for little hours.I cant come up with a fix for this but i definetely think that google play service is the culprit,Hope someone help me
!
Ps. Yes i did clean flash and I updated baseband :fingers-crossed:
