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 12.1 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.
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.

Only thing that worked for me was using poweramp as an external player for beyondpod and I had no luck with Google Play. Does everything play normally if you are just connected to aux or using the speaker? Its weird because I can stream my podcast over bluetooth but playing my downloaded ones causes the issue with the internal player only on bluetooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 6 (Marshmallow)?
A: Yes
Q: What code is Oct-M based on?
A: Starting with Oct-M, we rebased OctOS on AOSP code. After a short love affair with AOSP we had to make the move back to CM as a base.
Q: What happened to AOSP?
A: Well despite our efforts & our call for help, in the end were just to short staffed. We had to use CM as a base for our legacy CAF devices & maintaining both branches just became overwhelming.
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 XYZ rom and all the others have..

Is the kernel encrypted or unencrypted ?
It is force encrypted. If you want to remain unencrypted and stay on our kernel, flash this . .

Shamu has been different from the get go with regards to the notification lights. In fact the phone (as you know) shipped without them. Initially only light flow was able to activate them. Now the code has been activated within the ROM but its not very customizable. I am looking into options that would allow me to implement in the ROM so far though I haven't found much. But I assure you it's a pet peeve of mine too!

Well we were in the final testing phase of a new release and Google went ahead and started releasing 5.1. As a result we are working on incorporating that into our ROM which will take a little more time.

Thank you for the kind words. We are always working on bettering our product. We were all set to release another build with more features but as we were in the final testing phase 5.1 dropped. In addition to that we just rebuilt gerrit from source. As a result our release was delayed. We will get something out to the masses as soon as we can.

Anyone interested in testing 5.1 for us? I would ask your not a noob when it comes to flashing, can recover from potential issues (boot loops etc) and know how restore a back up. If interested email us [email protected].

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 6 (Marshmallow)?
A: Yes, this is Android 6.0.x
Q: What code is Oct-M based on?
A: Starting with Oct-M, we've rebased OctOs on the CyanogenMod 13 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 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 XYZ and 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-M.
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 favorite opengapps 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 ---
Factory Reset from TWRP
Flash ROM and GApps .ZIP files
Reboot
The Oct-M 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-M available on our GitHub repositories.
Unless otherwise specified, all Oct-M builds use the device's stock CyanogenMod 13 kernel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this Android 6 (Marshmallow)?
A: Yes
Q: What code is Oct-M based on?
A: Starting with Oct-M, we rebased OctOS on AOSP code. After a short love affair with AOSP we had to make the move back to CM as a base.
Q: What happened to AOSP?
A: Well despite our efforts & our call for help, in the end were just to short staffed. We had to use CM as a base for our legacy CAF devices & maintaining both branches just became overwhelming.
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 XYZ rom and all the others have..

OK Google from any screen
Hi, first of all i wish to thank you for this great and smooth rom. One thing i have in mind is, that i have no recognition from google speech, except when i press the microfon. Is it normal or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance

Try to flash it via TWRP 3.0. I had to flash it with this and the opengapps with twrp 2.8.7.0. It worked for me.
Is NFC payments working?

On Moto X xt1052 flashed via cm recovery 12.1 :
- Flashlight ok, works both from panel and gesture.
- Rotation ok, works well.
- On other 6.0.1 roms there was this battery charge bug: device off, charging, screen would stay always on and not show battery percent. Now on Oct-M this bug is solved: charges normally when device off and shows battery %.
- Doze. I guess i should calibrate the battery and leave the rom to settle on my terminal to work well, because overnight it burned like 20% of the battery in standby. No wakelocks detected. Gonna inspect this in these days.
Thanks again Team OctOS,
Great Rom
Great job!
Does this use layers or cm theme engine?
XT1052
Flashlight turns itself off after 3 seconds (chop-chop and panel)
Wave2Wake does not work

Strange, wave2wake works here nice.
Flashlight works fine too, from panel and from gesture both. right before i tested it again, i left it turned on for 2 minutes.
