Team OctOs presents Oct-M.

We maintain a current release record and change-log on our website: http://www.teamoctos.com

- Please Do Not Mirror our files without talking to us. We can do that ourselves should we desire to. -​

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)?
A: Yes

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

Q: What happened to CM?
A: All Android code is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), including CM. We are just returning back to our roots.

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-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 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-L available on our GitHub repositories.

Unless otherwise specified, all Oct-M builds use the device's stock Google kernel.

Awesome rom and really smooth. Thank you guy. Sadly I had to go back to my previous rom as I really need the network meter. Also having the tentacle options in the settings page would be nice in my opinion.

We like to keep the ROM with the "aosp" look so we took the non aosp settings out of main settings. Tentacles actually can be accessed three different ways. Through apk in app drawer, through quick settings tile and by pressing settings/about phone/ octos build date.

You might want to rethink that and move Tentacles to the main settings screen. I was ready to flash something else over this because I couldn't find settings I was looking for - lockscreen and buttons. If I hadn't stumbled upon this post it would be gone by now.

Well I'm appreciative you asked. We are happy with where we have them right now but perhaps I'll update the OP to reflect the three different ways one could find them.
