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:
Download ROM .zip file and MD5 file, and grab your favorite Open Gapps package http://opengapps.org
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)
Flash ROM, GApps and any additional .ZIP files
Reboot

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

I'm on FreedomPop.
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.

New weekly is up on site

ROM works pretty well. Good enough for daily driver.

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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 6 (MarshMallow)?
A: Yes, this is Android 6.0.1
Q: What code is Oct-MM based on?
A: Starting with Oct-MM, we've rebased OctOs on the CyanogenMod 13 code. Modified to give you a smoother more stable rom.
We like to Strive on being closest to AOSP as possible but also being able to support multiple device
Q: What happened to AOSP?
A: All Android code is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Under previous releases, we tried very hard to limit the number of "Not from Google directly" repositories that we used. Unfortunately, issues with devices, the need for Code Aurora Foundation (CAF) repositories for Qualcomm devices, and compatibility issues meant fighting code more often than not. We decided that since the code-base for many repositories were the same across most ROMs, picking a starting point to build the user experience on outweighed the desire to craft code from scratch, or fix broken code to make it work with other changes we already had.
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-L.
Q: Superuser or SuperSU?
A: Team OctOs uses SuperSU and is installed automatically.

There isn't anything like that is the OP. If you're seeing that, its TapaTalk doing it. I'd recommend the desktop version, as I do not use TapaTalk or the XDA Mobile app.
All of our releases, license information, and known issues can be found on our website www.teamoctos.com
I'm not finding it on the web version either.
Perhaps less subtly? I don't mean to be snarky but some of us live on our phones. I can't test what I can't access.

We've discussed it. At this point, across just the S3 and S4 devices, we've had something like 800 downloads. People are finding it.
Speaking only for myself, I'd rather anyone who either cannot or will not read the OP to move to another ROM. Flashing a device is a risky operation in the best of times. Anyone who says "I can't find" or "Why don't you just tell me", when it is literally the first thing after the logo, means that when they fail to do something and soft-brick their device (or in the case of the jfltevzw, hardbricks their device because they are safestrapped) then I have to listen to it and deal with it. Besides, it makes the entire project look bad.
I went out and got the XDA app, just to see what those who are looking at it see. See the screenshot below.
I will link you directly to a post, however, from the dev-blog entitled There be Dragons here in which I look at people's ability to treat their mobile devices like toys, rather than $700+ electronic devices. Any user who wants to be hand-held can do it in another thread. Flashing is as safe as we can make it, but I've personally had flashes go bad, and the ability to recover the device means following instructions. If anyone cannot figure out how to download the ROM, especially given the screenshot below, again, I'd rather not have them flash it.
Well. As a usability engineer with 15 years of working on UI and websites I can only say:
1. Blaming your users gets you nowhere.
2. Your level of adoption is in your own hands.

I will link you directly to a post, however, from the dev-blog entitled There be Dragons here in which I look at people's ability to treat their mobile devices like toys, rather than $700+ electronic devices. Any user who wants to be hand-held can do it in another thread. Flashing is as safe as we can make it, but I've personally had flashes go bad, and the ability to recover the device means following instructions. If anyone cannot figure out how to download the ROM, especially given the screenshot below, again, I'd rather not have them flash it.

I understand your point and agree that too many users do not sufficiently educate themselves prior to flashing.
Like a safestrap user who recently twice soft bricked his phone by flashing a gpe ROM. First in a slot, and then when told that he needed a custom recovery flashed it on the stock unsafe side.
However, a DL link in the OP just makes it more convenient for users. Just my opinion.
Eazy enough to find for me [emoji102] thanks gonna give it a shot soon as my backup is complete. My current ? is running fine but has awful battery life so I'm hoping that this one is better.
We've created a poll in our Gplus Community concerning our next release. We'd like your thoughts and would appreciate your feedback! Thanks

New 5.1.1 build is up on website! Op updated

Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Hi,
Thanks for working to update the S4 to 5.1.1.
I have a question to those out there currently using this ROM. I was running Danvdh GPE ROM and I could not get Netflix to work on mobile data. When I was on my home's wireless, it worked no problem. I then changed my ROM to Hyperdrive (4.4.2) and it started to work on mobile data again.
Has anyone tried to use Netflix on mobile data with this ROM? I'm curious if it is an issue with Netflix and Lollipop not liking each other, if it is something with my phone, or potentially something with the GPE ROM.
Thanks in advance and thank you again for all of your hard work.
No BT issues so far
BT LE (Smartwatch e.g. Moto 360) issues remain

Looks like the Bluetooth LE issues are still there as it won't see my Moto 360.

The moto 360 has always been weird as far as Bluetooth pairing. Especially when switching Roms. Once paired , it is difficult to pair to another ROM. The only way I found that works is to reset watch and I have even had to uninstall and reinstall android wear. This happened to me on various Roms and ROM versions. I think its more of a moto 360 thing than a ROM issue

Team OctOs presents Oct-L.
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 5 (Lollipop)?
A: Yes, this is Android 5.1.1
Q: What code is Oct-L based on?
A: Starting with Oct-L, we've rebased OctOs on the CyanogenMod 12 code.
Q: What happened to AOSP?
A: All Android code is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Under previous releases, we tried very hard to limit the number of "Not from Google directly" repositories that we used. Unfortunately, issues with devices, the need for Code Aurora Foundation (CAF) repositories for Qualcomm devices, and compatibility issues meant fighting code more often than not. We decided that since the code-base for many repositories were the same across most ROMs, picking a starting point to build the user experience on outweighed the desire to craft code from scratch, or fix broken code to make it work with other changes we already had.
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-L.
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:
Download ROM .zip file and MD5 file, and grab your favourite Android 5 based GApps package
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 ---
Factory Reset from TWRP
Flash ROM and GApps .ZIP files
Reboot
The Oct-L 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-L builds use the device's stock CyanogenMod 12 kernel.

-Battery life good (make sure keep Google play services in check) sometimes I get lucky with the gapps I try, sometimes not
-GPS great
-No dual window (we're cm based)
-Bluetooth good. I believe NFC works, but I don't use it. Anyone chime in?
Thanks for trying us!
Thanks for bringing this ROM to the G3. Everything is running good. Very snappy, no lag, lots of features. I didn't try nfc or Bluetooth since I don't use them. Keep up the good work.

Not as of now. Though there may have been instructions/or a script to modify certain roms for gsm? Try looking in development thread.

Hello! Thank you for bringing your ROM to us! What do you mean by "make sure to keep Google play services in check"? Is there something I should be looking for?
Thank you in advance!
Edit: Internet connection popped in after cycling from Global to 3g, then Global to LTE. Works great now!

NFC? It's best not to bring that up around here - it's the bane of the G3 dev and kind of the Holy Grail. Bluetooth isn't totally ironed out yet, but I find it plenty reliable. Thx for bringing us OctOS @red3razor! Since the early S3 days, I've dug your product and team attitude!

Oh hell yea! Thanks Razor!
Downloading going to give a try. Been using Bliss pop.
Does everything work? MMS? Decent signal? I am really itching to try some non-LG roms, but in the past (KK) the signal strength always seemed weaker
Is there a features list somewhere?
The link you've provided for the GApps packages leads to a thread where the packages have been deleted.
Here's one I found that's working: PA-GOOGLE APPS Plus(All ROM's)

We have had good feedback from our testers, before released
I'm still on the hunt for a AOSP ROM where wireless charging works. Gonna give this a spin.
Smooth & Fast
Wow this ROM flies and is buttery smooth. I have been using it for a few hours and have not run in to any issues other than a reboot issue. It will not fully reboot but if you switch to a guest user and then back again it loads up fine. Other than that, great job!

I haven't found any personally. Hopefully the devs will fold this in once they get everything else working. It's not some kind of proprietary driver thing is it?
Where exactly do I download for AT&T S iii? I clicked on the github link and there are a ton of files. Went to OctOS website and selected my device and the download provided is from 4/22. It seems there is a more recent update from what I'm reading in the changelog.
Currently on Cyanide L with Shift D2 Kernel, will I also need to flash a new kernel? If so, I have no clue which one it is on the cyanogen link in the OP.
Thx in advance ..
Thanks Razór. ..

ROM OS Version: 5.1.x Lollipop
Based On: Cynogen Mod
Version Information
Status: Nightly
Created 2015-09-16
Last Updated 2015-09-15
Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: Is this Android 5 (Lollipop)?
A: Yes, this is Android 5.1.1
Q: What code is Oct-L based on?
A: Starting with Oct-L, we've rebased OctOs on the CyanogenMod 12.1 code.
Q: What happened to AOSP?
A: All Android code is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Under previous releases, we tried very hard to limit the number of "Not from Google directly" repositories that we used. Unfortunately, issues with devices, the need for Code Aurora Foundation (CAF) repositories for Qualcomm devices, and compatibility issues meant fighting code more often than not. We decided that since the code-base for many repositories were the same across most ROMs, picking a starting point to build the user experience on outweighed the desire to craft code from scratch, or fix broken code to make it work with other changes we already had.*
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-L.
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.

Al right I am going to give it a try and will let you know if I find any bugs.

ADB Logcat tutorial here: How to create a logcat log
Basic Instructions:
Download ROM .zip file and MD5 file, and grab your favorite Open Gapps package http://opengapps.org
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)
Flash ROM, GApps and any additional .ZIP files
Reboot

Might add some later, it is basically lineageos with a few small additions.
Looks interesting...downloading now
Before anyone asks, I'll put what I plan to do for updates.
I could do nightlies, I have quite a bit of spare time, however I don't want to. Why? Why would I if a day has seen low github activity on OctOS' side, and there haven't been changes? Therefore, I shall regularly check their GitHub, and update if there are notable changes. I will try to update at least once a week regardless of GitHub activity to sync with latest LineageOS/AOSP sources.
This would likely change if this becomes official, I would follow OctOS' guidelines the the updating schedule
I've tried this ROM before on my T-Mobile Galaxy S3. It's a pretty awesome ROM. Thanks for building it for bacon. ?
I tried this ROM for a while and this is how it went out for me.
Almost all the time on WiFi. About 45 minutes on LTE.
Lots of YouTube (virtually 60% of this cycle), Telegram using Plus Messenger, WhatsApp, Streaming music through Spotify for about an hour and some browsing using arter97's Chromium.
The ROM is really smooth and gives decent battery life on stock. I could not find any bugs on it so far, seems pretty stable as well.
I hope to see more from this dev. Thanks for this port.
Looks interesting. I'll give it a try. Downloading now.
Update released, check link in op.
Update to latest security patch, and I am now the official maintainer, expect to see weeklies, this will probably be one of my last community builds
I'm facing issue with Adaway It fails to copy host can someone please provide solution??
