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

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-N available on our GitHub repositories.

AOSP for d2vzw?

This is AWESOME!! Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like there's a placeholder for LineageOS-based OctoOS but not AOSP. Any chance there'll be an AOSP version for our precious d2vzw?

Thanks for all your work! :highfive:

We tried to get AOSP working for D2 (among others) when I was at PACROM working on M. Let's just say that trying to support devices on AOSP without upstream support is a big reason why PAC burned out and disbanded.

That's a long way of saying: No. ;)

are their any known issues with this ROM? I need to find the newest ROM for this phone that is stable since I plan to give it away to someone in need. Thank you.
If you can wait until friday, I'd go with the new build. There's a fix for the TWRP backup problem coming. All N ROMs have this issue, soon all will have fix because I sent it upstream to lineage.

This and the Unofficial LOS14.1 has been giving problems with both the WiFi Data and the Mobile Data. The WiFi connects but, no Internet and the Mobile connects to the tower but, no mobile data and the APN is good.

After doing a bit of research, i found that, for no apparent reason, the MAC address may not be correct for many individuals who are having the same issues.

Somehow the MAC address requires a manual correction within the Nougat in order for the Data to connect.

I found that this happens with other devices but, not all.

Has anyone ever looked into this?

I had previously used the Logcat and when I, and a few others, had reviewed it deeply, we saw the data issue but, nothing specific to the MAC. There won't be any annotations specifically regarding the MAC, only the errors that were returned when anything attempted to access the WiFi or Mobile Data (ie.. The Play Store).

I'm still hacking out some ideas to grab the MAC while in CM13 and when the Nougat is installed, the MAC will be verified and changed within the System.

I have some manual commands but, looking to create something easier, like a flash file, to perform the necessary changes.

From what I can find, so far, within the "/efs/wifi/" directory, there is a file ".mac.info" that has the MAC address.

A work in progress but, am always looking for constructive input.
