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

Q: What code is Oct-M based on?
A: Starting with Oct-M, we rebased OctOs on AOSP code. After a short love affair with AOSP we had to make the move back to CM as a base.

Q: What happened to AOSP?
A: Well despite our efforts & our call for help, in the end we we're just to short staffed. We had to use CM as a base for our CAF devices & trying to maintain two branches just became overwhelming.

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 rom 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 favorite gapps package.
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 kernel.

As you guys are rolling out M builds now, is there any way you could have the oct-l thread locked to avoid confusion? If not, no big deal, just an idea. Keep up the good work.

 

[cjkacz]

You know for some reason I have been unable to edit any of my threads. I have tried 2 different pc's , my phone, Linux OS,Windows 10 etc etc. Finally I was able to edit this thread today and instead of editing it created 3 new threads. Luckily a moderator helped me delete them. I'll do my best to get rid of the Lollipop thread to avoid confusion . But so far XDA and I are not doing well lol

First off, thanks for all your hard work. Have been running Oct M for a day now and all is fine except for a couple of things; 1. Camera fc'd then forced reboot; 2. This is a bit strange. When I tried to attach a photo [in gmail] using the photo icon, google+ fc'd and I was dumped back to email I was trying to attach the photo to. However, when I tried again using the image icon instead I could then sellect and attach the photo I wanted, no problem. I've never seen this before...

Anyway, apart from that, brilliant work..

Cheers.

Does this ROM include features like customizable navbar and Privacy Guard (most important features for me)? Wanted to try it, but MultiROM won't let me install it as secondary. Got many apps installed and just wanted to know before factory reset and recover all apps with TB (takes quite a while)...

Privacy guard not yet. Some nav bar customization is in rom now. We will be adding more features as we go.

Initial m release is excellent overall. I noticed that I can't seem to find a way to change the bottom shortcuts on the lockscreen... And the border on the navbar that goes 3/4 across the screen is strange, but great start. I don't flash nearly as many roms as I used to, but had to try this, and am glad I did.

Just an FYI to anyone that runs across this same issue. After flashing ROM message appeared in SU that root was lost & I would have to root my device again. Instead I flashed the latest beta SuperSU 2.52 & all was well again.

My 1st impressions of ROM are great. I've run several versions of 6.0 on this device & all have been quirky. They've been slow in certain instances & haven't played nice with all of my apps. Octo however has been fluid, responsive & very cohesive with all of my apps. Great work dev team, thank you!

Thank you for the kind words! Although your SuperSU experience is puzzling to me. You didn't by chance wipe system before install did you? The block system does that for you. Therefore we recommend you factory reset, flash rom,gapps and reboot. SuperSU should flash on its own with no issue. Our testers only experienced the no root issue when they wiped system.

Yes I did. I did read the install instructions & saw that but didn't realize that just a "factory wipe" was crucial to the install. It's just customary for me to do a completely clean install when changing ROMs. Thanks for pointing that out as I was curious. Hopefully users will read this before making the same mistake. Again great ROM. Its been rather frustrating with 6.0 & the ROMs I've flashed. Yours seems to be the ticket though.

To anyone who has tried this out, are you able to rearrange the order of the softkeys in the navbar?

Not yet, just dimensions. It'll be coming though.
