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 (user will be able to flash which ever root zip they want)



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 Open Gapps 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 ---
   
   The Oct-N ROM installation script will automatically wipe /system, /cache, and /dalvik-cache. There is no need to do these before or after flashing the ROM unless you are instructed to by your Gapps Provider. When dirty flashing weekly updates, you MUST reflash Gapps along with any other files, apps, custom mods or kernels etc.. (anything that resides in system partition)
   
3. Flash ROM, GApps and any additional .ZIP files
   
4. Reboot

Testers needed

We would like to get each S4 Mini up again for OCT-N.

Thanks to those who already tested, we now have weeklies starting the week of 3/10/17.
Downloads for all four supported variants are at: https://www.teamoctos.com/oct-n-weekly-lineageos-base/

For those using the US Cellular variant, here is an updated TWRP Recovery.
twrp serranolteusc --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634751007
** This is also officially supported on twrp.me but only for the serranolteusc. I am currently testing their 3.1.0-0.

All other variants of TWRP can be found on Ne0Zone's thread.
twrp other variants --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420

If you post on this thread, please mention which variant/device you have.
Thanks

They should work now, I had to change them from "restricted" to "public" folders.

 

[csendre]

Great to see OctOS back up, the unified thread is a good idea, 99% of the issues are common

 

[rookie12]

Flashed will test this whole week thanks for your work serranosdd

 

[noppy22]

Thank you @jason972000
I've flashed OCT-N-M0-7.1.1-20170304-serranoltexx.zip with open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170305.zip and so far no problems at all(a few hours). It seems like a really mature rom, plenty of customizations and no reboots/fc's. I'm impressed.

For anyone wanting a stable nougat rom with pixel launcher, I would recommend it. I'll test it for a few more days for battery life and other things.

 

[Anwar105]

I have flashed rom serranodsdd Around 6 hours Ago and its look very mature and stable.

We would like to get each S4 Mini up again for OCT-N.
So far, the US Cellular variant has been posted on main website for OCT-N Lineage for the past few weekly builds.

But if you want to see the other variants to start showing up on weekly builds, I need testers to confirm some initial builds are looking good.

Here are links for testers to get the rom from AFH:
rom serrano3gxx --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120712660
md5 --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862707835

rom serranoltexx --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767141983
md5 --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634750899

rom serranodsdd --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862707912
md5 --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862707911

For those using the US Cellular variant, here is an updated TWRP Recovery.
twrp serranolteusc --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634751007

All other variants of TWRP can be found on Ne0Zone's thread.
twrp other variants --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420

Once I get feedback for each of the GSM variants we can decide if it is time to get them added to the weekly builds.

If post on this thread, please mention which variant/device you have.
Thanks

I try 20170304-serrano3gxx zip with opengapps 20170205 and everything ok, no fc, reboots, etc, everything works well (ril, camera, speaker, etc), but the rom does not have a browser, have two file explorer, and does not like pixel launcher, but for me the rom is already stable :good::good:

I return to aokp

I agree with the last two users. Very stable and feature-full. I've used it for almost a week and no issues at all. :good:

At least as good as AOKP and AICP(7.1.1). IMO nougat is better on battery than android 5 or 6

I noticed on the Oct OS site that we have gone official. Although not on the download list yet.......

Thanks again @jason972000

Weeklies are building now and they will include all four serrano devices. Thanks for testing everyone.

I'm running the USC version on an SCH-i435L, and although I had to change my build prop to make it default to Verizon, which is what I use, it works perfectly. (Also no radio built in) I'm not sure what the codename for this particular one is, however, if it's one of the listed ones, I'd be happy to verify it works for you. If it's not one of the listed ones, I can again confirm the USC version works.

One bug I have noticed is that although it was supposedly fixed for the regular S4, the back lights for the back and menu buttons still don't seem to work (at least for me) on the S4 Mini.

Two things I'd love to see added to the kernel, which have been done before for older builds of Android on S4 Mini's, would be fast charge (as seen here) and OTG support. (As seen here)
