• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

SuperSU is not supported by OctOS on d2. Use lineage root or magisk.

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

I would be really interested in a d2refreshspr build to play with on my Triband for this rom. Thanks and keep up the great work guys. Oct-M still working great.

Edit: For anyone with the L710T, this rom is buggy, but can work (use at your own peril, it's not recommended and I've noticed data can randomly drop in latest builds)

Method I used:
1) Flash this rom.
2) Flash Modem Symlink Fix @naterza linked to in this thread.
3) If it borks out, you should still be able to flash it over with latest stable PacRom for D2SPR + symlink fix to get it back.
(It fixed broken 4G when I was testing a bork nightly that had me semi-bricked)

4) If you ever hard brick, you can use Odin and revert to stock with ALL_SPT_L710TVPU0ANF4_L710TSPT0ANF4_1683363_REV00_ user_low_ship.tar.md5
(Hat Tip to @FNetV1 for the tip.

Pro-Tip: As many know, Walmart/VM Data Done Right plan is now gone. Unlike what the VM rep tells you initially, you can migrate you're phone to the VM Data Love plan by calling into VM USA from an outside phone. You have to be on stock for the migration, and takes around 45 minutes for the rep to do their job - but it works fine.

Running the weekly build, as good if not better than the last cm nougat nightly before things went belly up. Only problem thus far is that my super su is all sorts of broken so using the built in su manager in dev settings. Might need to reinstall to fix that issue but other than that, thanks for keeping this phone up to date! :)

going to take a shot since my phone crashed hard under AICP and the million stupid modifications I have done. Wish me luck.

I stopped using SuperSU when android added native support. What feature in particular are you looking for when you install SuperSU?

Depending on what you have done, you might want to consider also wiping system when you install clean.
Tried to wipe everything with TWRP, but my media is still on board. In any case, running beautiful. Thanks for keeping this phone alive.
