you mean twrp 3.0.2 or 3.0.2 r4? also, you install the new rom zip, gapps and reboot? or you erase dalvic/cache? i didn't found a guide on how to update. if someone could help.

I've the same issue, I'm on 3.0.2 r4 with octo-n 20170303, and the camera is only black:crying:

I've tried other apk camera and always a black screen.

But the major issue is the drain of battery. Kerneladuitor shows me that 1 core is to 100% ans at the maximum frequency.

With the previous ROM 24032017 all worked perfectly. Then I wipe caches to instal ROM 24 march with latest pico gapp, but over consumption battery and CPU are still here. The only way to reduce the consumption is to use the extremely power saver.

...

Factory reset solve the issue.

Hello all,

Managing two Y550 devices.

One (mine) showed no problems flashing OctOS 20170310 and SuperSU. No data lost, all apps and settings kept.

The other (my wife's) had to be reset to factory image, then flashed to OctOS 20170310 and SuperSU. This was a full day's work, but worth the effort.

All in all: a very nice release. Thank you very much.

I recently updated to official TWRP 3.1, then tried to install latest Oct-N weekly (03/24), which failed as with previous official TWRP, with error 7 on my L02. (Not sure who is maintaining this TWRP, but it

is

able to see encrypted adopted storage).

The solution was to reflash your TWRP 3.0.3, which works flawlessly, and flash Oct-N from another SD card (as 3.0.3 cannot see adopted storage), then revert to official 3.1 to flash open gapps micro and SuperSU 2.79 from system memory (adopted storage).

Please,

can official TWRP be updated to work with L02, L03?

Or,

can your TWRP be updated to see encrypted adopted storage?

(This may only work in 3.1 versions).

On the positive side, latest Oct-N update retained all my settings this time, so no longer need to reinstall accounts, or restore saved adopted storage encryption key in order to use SD data. Also, flashed micro gapps instead of nano this time, and ended up with

more

unused space in phone storage. These were pleasant surprises.

Haven't checked low call / speaker / bluetooth volume, or video bug for any improvement as yet.

Posted this in Everything Y550 thread also.

Thanks for hard work NATO. We appreciate it.

[Android Software Development] pndwal:
Only 28 Downloads

People!

Oct-N is the single best thing to happen to Huawei Y550! First official ROM, with weekly updates, likely to just keep getting better! So,

why Only 28 Downloads of last build???

Please do yourselves a favour:

Try it, flash updates, give feedback, support NATO's efforts!

We all want any bugs to be ironed out as early as possible! I for one don't want to downgrade to any other ROM.

Many of you (L01 users) also have working official TWRP, able to load ROMs from adopted SD storage. Others can use NATO's 3.0.3 version.

Oct-N utilises adoptive SD storage properly (unlike marshmallow), allowing most downloaded apps to be moved to SD (app developer dependant) in FULL, along with all user data. - No more need for link2sd or apps2sd when running out of space for apps! (This is the best feature for me. Recommend fast SD card for phone-mem-like performance. I use 80MB/s SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC. One app not to move: ES file Explorer if you use root explorer [Loses root explorer permission when on SD card].)

In latest builds, SuperSU configuration problems are gone as root is no longer built in, but user simply flashes latest SuperSU after Oct-N and Gapps.

Also, weekly updates now retain all settings (at least last build, 20170324, did), so no longer need to reinstall accounts, or restore saved adopted storage encryption key in order to use SD data. (I'm still saving this for my peace of mind however. Key in data/misc/vold).

For new users:

Don't forget to flash 4xqwt_lp_modem.zip if haven't done so already.

If previously using other custom ROM, before first install of Oct-N, re-flash and boot to stock rom, then flash Oct-N. (in order to avoid various problems/bootloops).

Alternatively, flash cm11 (smaller download).

Make sure to leave SIM in when flashing.

Oct-N also has f2fs support for faster performance. First time users, format data and cache partitions (not system) in TWRP to f2fs before flashing. Works flawlessly.

I flash micro gapps (from OpenGApps.org) and end up with about 300MB unused space in phone storage, even with some apps left there.

In short, Oct-N has become simple and rewarding to flash, use, and update. So, again, Please do yourselves a favour:

Try it, flash updates, give feedback, support NATO's efforts!

I'm actually testing the OctOS (build 2017/03/24) on the huawei Y550 and there's a problem with Snapchat (error server connection). The problem seems to be that this rom is pre-rooted with supersu.

A few people reported problems booting OctOs with sim inserted earlier in 'everything Huawei Y550' and in this thread. For me, only after flashing Oct-N with sim card removed. That's why I mentioned (post 120):

"For new users:

Don't forget to flash 4xqwt_lp_modem.zip if haven't done so already.

If previously using other custom ROM, before first install of Oct-N, re-flash and boot to stock rom, then flash Oct-N. (in order to avoid various problems/bootloops).

Alternatively, flash cm11 (smaller download).

Make sure to leave SIM in when flashing

."

If you flashed with sim card removed, a re-flash and boot to stock rom or cm11 should fix problem. Next, flash Oct-N WITH SIM CARD INSERTED.

Hope this helps,

[Android Software Development] fwiep:
7.1.1 works, long wait for camera, no video playback

Hello,

I have just downloaded and installed latest OCT-OS from automatic build (OCT-N-M1-20170413-Y550.zip). It works as expected, but for three things:

- YouTube-video playback using NewPipe app does not work "This video could not be played back"

- When opening a camera app (both OpenCamera, stock camera and WhatsApp-camera) it takes several seconds (>6) to get the app on screen. Taking pictures then works as expected.

- Google Chrome crashes on start-up

Attached is a logcat of my device, where I open NewPipe, search and try to playback a video. Then, I open the OpenCamera app and wait for the app to appear, then take a picture. Last but not least, I try to open the YouTube-site (using Chrome) to check whether it will play the video - and then Chrome crashes.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

why do octos members use root?
[Android Software Development] pndwal:
Used to use both apps2sd and link2sd, but had big problems with retaining mount script etc in Oct-N (see post 38). These problems are probably resolved as I suspect conflicts were due to embedded root, but haven't tried since as I found most larger apps I use can be moved natively using adoptive storage, (yes, format card in settings, storage, move apps individually, and migrate data) and that in Oct-N adoptive SD storage works properly (unlike in marshmallow), allowing most downloaded apps to be moved to SD (but unfortunately not all - app developer dependant) in FULL, along with all user data.

You could try splitting card into adoptive and portable storage too. A number of guides available, eg here:

https://xdaforums.com/idol-3/general/make-sd-card-semi-adopted-t3399510

Seems you no longer need to. I have a number of apps requiring root, eg spirit radio for FM through Bluetooth . . .
