Everything works. We've been sneakily testing it in conjunction with the VZW Build.

3G EVDO Rev.A, eHRPD, and LTE all work.

GPS, Bluetooth, etc all work.

And yes, the Aroma Installer can be used to flash GApps and/or Kernels without redoing the entire ROM (though that is also an option).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] tcurtiss92:
quick little update

camera works

gps locks quick fast

3g and LTE

SMS and MMS

rom seems snappy quick and responsive

flashed to remove octopus on lock screen worked

i didnt flash stock kernel i flashed agats just because always had good luck with it lol

just wish i had a way to clear everything quick instead of swiping each app off the task manager other than that i like a lot!

No adblocker can I use one on this ROM? Signal bars are a little wonky data Still works but is not indicated by the bars
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Blaze611:
Everything works amazingly. Now if only CM would take notice on how data should work. Daily driver AOSP found.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
[MENTION=2953465]agat63[/MENTION] has made the kernel for us, but doesn't release it separately. Currently, he is working on his TW kernel and will turn his attention back this way when he has the chance.

The stock kernel isn't a slouch! I suggest trying it. Remember, the installer package can be used to switch kernels.

We don't include it, and I don't use it, but no reason it shouldn't work of it works on other AOSP ROMs. What do you mean by "wonky"? Meaning showing low?

2 bars for -88dB is pretty fair I think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] psych0r3bel:
You know what, I just reread the OP. I guess I'll change this. What Samsung Apps are compatible with this? For instance, if I so desired could I pull the phone/dialer from a TW Rom and plug it into this with the stock and/or any other custom kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] skandranon314:
I searched but did not find the answer. Does this currently have nfc working? Thx!

No idea. No way for me to check. Give it a try and let us know.

I absolutely love the new version great job devs! The sidebar option isn't working like before, is their an apk for it or at least a way to just reinstall or repair that option??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] marleynyc:
Correction. NFC DOES Work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] roc342:
NFC does work for me too. IR does not work for me. I installed WatchON but it does not work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] emeraldzak:
IR is working for me using the free Samsung IR Remote and Smart IR Remote by Color Tiger. I don't think WatchON will work for 4.4.

Update 1/2

Team OctOs is proud to present support for US Cellular devices on the S4!

Updated OP - Find the files in the Downloads section.

New GApps will be up shortly.

Updated OP. New Team OctOs GApps Packages available! Please see the GApps section for more details.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] noahthedominator:
Thanksff

Just want to say thank you so much for supporting the US Cellular S4. I don't know why I didn't get a forum on XDA but we don't get nearly as much development for that reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] MassStash:
Yea, there's no usc devoted forums in here so I suggested just adding usc dev to spr thread due to the fact that kernels flash from spr on usc straight up. Seems as good as place as any haha. Hope everything's working well for ya! These guys are really puttin in some amazing work

Curious, are we going to see a "donald" version again? I'm liking the vanilla android experience. I also don't want to wipe again, to much work setting it up, and I use my phone heavily for work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
That's just who built that particular run. "donald" is me. You'll see dubbsy and treken as well.

Latest daily run I did (1/4). You can find it at https://www.copy.com/s/jcUiNN9X8exS. Keep in mind it makes no difference who of us ran it, we all build from the same source.

Follow us on Facebook for the latest build info and links.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] bondosho:
Oh, lol. Thank you sir! I can just flash over the last 4.4.1 build right?

Ok, I went ahead and tried it, It's the OctOS branded version (don't get me wrong, you have some nice enhancements, but I just don't want to re-setup everything again), and I had to redownload gapps, and I would have needed to set everything back up The last version was as vanilla as it gets, and that's what I'm looking for. Anyway, restored back to the previous version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
Keep in mind that 4.4.1 is different from 4.4.2 as much as 4.4 was different.

It's all "as vanilla" as you the user wants it to be. It's why everything is stashed in the OctSettings menu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] bondosho:
Well then, this week I'll update and take the time to get it going.

Thank you again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] tbudke:
That download seems to not be working. Here is a screenshot of what happens when the site is visited.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
1/4 was removed. We bring the files down from the copy box after a few days.

https://copy.com/jWl8d2aovHQRpAm is for the 1/6 build. We usually post the current link on our FB page.

That's what I'm using, is it possible that it could become corrupted while downloading? I'm going to download and try it all again. I've never ran in to this problem before. Thanks for your help. I will post and let you know on my lunch break.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] urrgevo:
That's what the accompanying md5 file is for. You can use root explorer or hashdroid to check what the md5 checksum is for the file you downloaded and compare that to the md5 posted with the zip. If they don't match, don't flash.

No prob, we *should* all be here to help one another. Of there is any difference in the file they upload and the one you have those numbers will not match so it's a good thing to have to troubleshoot.

If I didn't need my phone to run my business I'd definitely volunteer to be a tester. I have learned to kick the crack flashing habit because of this. It just became too much work to re-setup my phone every day or two. However every week or two for stable releases is doable :)

I have been meaning to ask you guys (team members) if you build for Nexus 5? I will be giving this phone to my wife and moving back to Nexus in the next few days. I haven't had a chance to browse the N5 forums so I'm just curious...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
Nexus devices in general are on the list of things to do. Making sure this platform is stable is the priority, then we can break it on other kernels.

I mean it works, however when I end a call a bunch of loud static occurs. A lot of the AOSP roms have this problem on the S4 with my experience. The only rom that doesn't have this problem is the omnirom, however beside that this rom I believe is the most stable. If you can please fix the static issue with csipsimple and I would be most grateful. :)

Get Syslog from the play store. Recreate the problem, use syslog, email the results to teamoctos@gmail.com. Include what the issue is and which program in the email.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Dubbsy:
You people need to realize that CM based Roms are NOT aosp. So the typical statement of this happens on all aosp Roms should stop.... Because there are VERY FEW REAL aosp based Roms available.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] urrgevo:
I would like to point out another thing about cm/AOSP differences, if coming from one to the other you really should reformat the internal SD. Other roms and kernels sometimes leave leftovers there that can cause issues.

Will 4.4 be packaged with the aroma installer like 4.3 was?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Dubbsy:
We are working on a way to make one zip install the rom itself automagically. Then having a secondary aroma zip for the options to make it easier for ota. Because of the complex nature of everything it's going slower on that end. Plus we have been really just focusing on the rom itself so at this time it is easier to release the ROMs per device the old fashioned way until we get the ROM the way we want it.

At this time we plan to support all nexus devices that have 4.4 support, all galaxy s3s, galaxy note2s, note3s if they arent all locked down like vzw(i wanted that phone bad), all one x variants, all htc one variants, and anything that comes out from this point forward that is worth owning. The expanding models will take time because we need to debug each device while not killing the rest. As said before this isn't CM so it's not as easy as many of the other groups who just copy their repos and change a few things. The repos we use from CM have been heavily changed and would not build CM nor would CM's repos build ours.

Last I checked we were only using 20 repositories out of 400+ that were straight CM and those were hardware files. It's as close to AOSP as it can be without their official support.

Hope that answers some questions. :cyclops:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] CyberpodS2:
That is a great point that gets missed in the troubleshooting routine too often. Even different TW roms can have negative effects on each other. If flashing a rom never seems to go right, no matter how many times you try it the next step should be to clear out the cob webs and start fresh.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] KelevrA_8:
Why does it always say I have an update ready? I'm already on the latest version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Dubbsy:
Because it's airways being updated and currently one if the bugs is our push setup. It's fixed now. But won't be seen fixed until we build again. And there's no reason to build again today since nothing changed.

1-29 build. 2 bugs

Any selection made in the quick settings "quick pulldown" of the Oct settings, is erased when the Oct settings are closed.

I am getting crashes when spell-check word replacements (red underline, not suggestions) occur. This crash only happens if the user dictionary is not blank. The word replacement works as expected if it is blank.

Is there a formal bug tracker I may post to, or is this the best venue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] bondosho:
This has been a bug for awhile. I'm not sure when they are going to fix it, but I've been able to work around it. Another bug is when you go to edit a comment on Facebook, the cursor won't stick, and keeps disappearing.

But as for everything else, this rom just keeps getting better and better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] tbudke:
Are you guys almost to the aroma builds yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Dubbsy:
We are likely going to release an aroma gapps/apps package separately because we don't have to update that as frequently as we build out our roms. It makes the OTA files a lot smaller. Saves bandwidth and the user's data plans who have limited plans.

Our aroma guru said he was working on that. No idea when that might be ready yet. I've been focusing on other things.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] tbudke:
Makes enough sense for me! Thank you :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
Translators Needed!

We are currently looking for translators to help localize OctOs into other languages.

Many of the main ROM components are already translated (built-in), but anything that we've changed or added won't be. Currently, we are "English predominate" speakering team, but many of the users may not be!

If you would like to help bring OctOs to your language, check out: https://crowdin.net/project/team-octos-octo-kat-android-ro

You can sign up as a Translator and then start translating the OctOs project. This makes it easy to identify and translate the individual strings.

That screenshot looks like a stock recovery. You need to flash a Custom recovery in order to flash custom ROMs. Check out the General threads for information on how to do this!

Sweet, got it working using TWRP. I didnt realize I had to use a custom recovery mod to install it. Now that I have, I have OctoKat and I get to try KitKat 4.4 hehe :D

Thank you guys, this is sweet!!!

I have ONE complaint, it's very small, but.....USUALLY when you hit the "shift" or "cap locks" or whatever on a stock android phone, it turns to capitalized, then goes back to lower case after you typed that letter or whatever special character it was.....USUALLY when you hit it a 2nd time, it goes to being always capitalized and not uncapitalizing until you hit it a 3rd time to go back to lower case. I find this convenient to yell or to type ROM or any other multi capital words. You get the point I'm sure. I have no guarantees that this isn't something that they removed with the KitKat upgrade, but I would love to see it in a later build of OctOS.

Yeah, that's my small complaint, the caps locks key functioning pattern. Thank you. So far this ROM is sweet. Now to customize it and such....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] eyekantbeme:
Thank you, I used TWRP and it worked no problem. TWRP is a PITA to download though, what are the advantages of Philz Touch? Thank you.

Jeremy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Grommish:
We only support TWRP, but this doesn't mean you can't used another recovery. TWRP, in our experience, does a much better (meaning: reliable and consistent) job at actually doing what you tell it to. Feel free to use whatever works; however, if you are on CWM, you are on your own for support of recovery issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] Dubbsy:
I've been working on being able to build twrp on demand for any device we support in the future. It's not been the easiest to get functioning properly. I'll get there eventually though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] eyekantbeme:
Okay, cool well I've flash Octo Kat twice with TWRP I upgraded to the 1724 version instead of the 0000 version. 1724 is the more recent one apparently. Either way, I'm happy besides having to reset the caps locks after typing every capital letter. Everything else is great. Thanks you guys (and girls?), you've done something awesome here. I'm glad to have Kit Kat also now, seems to run smoother also hehe. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Develop] eyekantbeme:
After the 2nd flash to the 1724 version, I now have (which I didn't before) a message pops up because my Kernal isn't stock.

Kernel Is Not Seandroid Enforcing

Set Warranty Bit: Kernel

Is there any way to fix that without dropping the custom ROM? It was not happening when I was using the Oct-20140303-0000-jfltespr.zip file, only now when I flashed the Oct-20140303-1724-jfltespr

I figured Id just go back to the 0000 one and see if that causes no issues. We'll see :\

Thanks.
