Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 7 (Nougat)?
A: Yes, this is Android 7.1.1

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

As with other LOS 14.1 builds for this device, cell service is dropping out constantly on my phone.

 

[Dokbot]

Same here, dropping and connects long enough to send a text, but not get the info that it sent it, so it sends the same text over and over every 30 seconds or so

This hands down is the most stable (first build comparison), over all other 7.1.1 or 7.0 roms for this device. Everything works out of the box, albeit, some issues, like the photo of the acc not sticking and a couple other things (still looking.). But so far I'm loving it, it's already become my daily driver rom. Hopefully we get to see even more updates improving it.

Also a wee bit of a question, how do we handle OTA updates? system notified or do we have to look on the site for them? (latter would be a pain, I personally prefer system notifications.). Although I understand fully if it's not implemented yet.

Good job, OTC-OS!

We are on a weekly build system. They will commence Friday afternoon est. time. We will post here when they are up on site. However ota commits were merged today. If all goes well it will be ota after Fridays weekly.

So far everything works except the video camera, it can't connect to the camera when I switch from picture to video.

ROM works pretty well. Good enough for daily driver.
Running OctOs 01/20/2017 weekly
Sph-L720T
Boost Mobile (MVNOSlayer's APNs)
OK3 baseband
Cell, MMS, LTE, 3g work fine

Only issue is Bluetooth "phone" will not connect to my pioneer truck head unit. Audio through music, Pandora, etc. Work just fine but no Bluetooth calling.

Under "paired devices"
Pioneer Head Unit (no phone)
Even though phone is enabled in options
Pushing the call button on the head unit makes the unit try and connect and crashes Bluetooth all together.

Works with no problem under stock TW.

I believe this may be a CM/ Lineage upstream issue but I believe its an unknown issue

Any of you guys willing to join our test team on hangouts? We're looking for a few (2) actual Sprint testers (on Sprint not an mvno) Other carriers are welcome too of course.

If interested please email us at [email protected] & mention your device model number & carrier in the email.

Must be willing to use hangouts to test for us. We don't hand out test builds publicly for obvious reasons. We're looking for testers who are willing to hang around & test when needed. If we don't have testers we can't keep support up.

Thanks fellas!

Version

Hello , is this for both versions , SPH-L720 and SPH-L720T ?

Edit: Reason I asked is I have the regular model , not the Triband . I see Mavrikmeercat proclaiming success on telephony , LTE etc up above with a Tri-band . I did clean flash the rom . The telephony signal indicator flashes on and off about every 2 to 3 seconds like it's polling bands . When it flashes on it stays on less than a second but it does have signal for that split second . This is why I'm wondering about models . It's not just this rom , another cm based rom is exhibiting the same exact behavior . Thanks

I'm actually having problems with the power switch. I have had the phone for years, guess it's time to finally put it to rest. I wish you luck with this rom! Going to be getting an LG V20.

 

[Kjricker]

I was planning on a re-install of the rooted stock OS. Before I did that I thought I'd test out this ROM. First impression is, I really like it. After installing the ROM everything was working great, but then all of a sudden SMS and MMS would no longer send. I am not sure what happened. It was working perfectly for the first few minutes.
I installed the ROM, GAPPS and TING APNs. I can't recall where I got the TING APNs from, but next I'll try the MVNOSlayer's APNs and see how it performs.

I do have LTE. I can use Chrome over LTE, but messages will not send about 5 minutes after the phone has re-booted.
