can we install custom kernel on latest build available for octos made by [MENTION=7878674]pokipokipxorn[/MENTION] ,?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] prakharluv:
I dont think so as may be that pokipokipxorn's kernel based on previous build of OctOS and honestly I donthave any clue regarding this so its better to ask him :o (he's dev of that kernel)

Just one question... Sim colour problm...i told u earlier... Not solved in new build,..?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] prakharluv:
Glad to know you like this rom :) Bro I spoke to Team OctOS about this, and believe me they are busy right now. So please corporate with us :) Hope you understand

Hey prakhar... Today i updated 'substratum' app from play store...now it keep crashing..unable to open subs app. ?only happing with me? Or updated substratum not working for all?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] dipamdasgupta:
it will not work ... because new substratum rebase has been done by substratum team and thats needs to be implemented ... just wait for the new update ... it will get fixed
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Gerard15799:
That's odd... Mine is OK even after I updated substratum....
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] dipamdasgupta:
for many its not working ... :(
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Gerard15799:
Yeah I think mine too..I can't apply theme... It's force closing Everytime....Why is that??
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] prakharluv:
Guys please wait for next update, it will be fix and you all can enjoy Substratum:)

Since Substratum rebased from Masquerade (which requires Root access) to Interfacer (which works on Rootless system) and they had updated Substratum for this and present build of OctOS (3rd Mar) has Masquerade (not Interfacer) and that's why you guys are facing such force closes.

Good News is that OctOS has implemented InterFacer in their source and test build of our device is working fine (screenshots are attached below) ;) So wait for official release of next update. Please understand and wait for next update

This update has literally improved the ROM.

Power management is improved.. Hell yeah!! That's what is needed the most. And Wakelock blocker on Nougat is amazing. Blocked many wakelocks. Atleast some relief in absence of amplify!! Keep on building such solid ROMs.. ?

[MENTION=7426290]Rotated Quickbits[/MENTION], mate, auto-rotate seems to be fine here. I keep it on most of the time and it always works.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] prajith260:
it does not work properly... when you dirty flash, error with google apps..... play store app is missing and gives an error google play services not supported by your device...

with the lineage OS, it was easy to flash the updates.... jus flash them on top...without wiping the apps.... why is this ROM having issues then?? OCT is based on lineage OS rite ????
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] manfromgta:
As noted in OP. "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)"
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] prajith260:
but with lineage there was no such issue.... i was able to flash the weekly updates directly..... and also with other ROMS on my galaxy s2... i jus flash the ROM directly... no wipe if its just an update....
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] heerarana:
Hi dev,

Why inbuilt root is not available ? what's the reason behind disabling root access as it is mandatory for flashing regular ROMs
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] dipamdasgupta:
as this rom is based on lineage and lineage also doesn't have root access ... from u begining ....

other roms use magisk or supersu but oct os rely on to flash that additional file
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] manfromgta:
We found that there is less issues and possibility of failure by having the script wipe system and caches. This wipe will then require you to flash the rom and gapps on update. The data partition is not touched during this process so apps are left intact. So in conclusion, for the OctOS update, flash rom and then gapps and reboot.

Giving root access can be a security risk at many levels. With OctOS you have the choice.

Root was removed by default as we had as many users wanting it rootless as those that wanted root. Another reason was the fact that substratum went rootless which is something OctOS fully supports. There are also a few different root options available now, (SuperSU, magisk, lineageos root to name a few), so by removing it by default it will give the user the option to flash the SU of their choice rather than forcing one on them when baked into rom.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Dextrob:
Device is HD capable

Can anybody tell me what is that.?

How should I remove this.?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] dipamdasgupta:
it means your sim can do voice over lte or volte ...

if your network provider allows volte service this appears ....
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Dextrob:
Is there any way to remove it.?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] dipamdasgupta:
disabled volte ... i.e disabled enhanced 4g Lte Mode

but u won't be able to use volte .. if your service provider does not provides volte go ahead disable the toggle ... :good:
[Zenfone 2 Laser Android Development] Rotated Quickbits:
Just block the notification so you can still use volte

U mean 5 may right haha
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
Quick backstory; I rooted my 5th Gen 7" Fire a loooong time ago, with I believe a version of Rootjunky's supertool. Removed auto OS updates, all that good stuff. Accordingly, I cannot access the OS info via System Updates (tapping it gives a blank screen for a moment, then goes back to the main settings screen). I have Google Play & services installed.

So, I tried today to use the Amazon Appstore, and I'm getting a "Network Unreachable" error right when the app launches. I can't use any functions of the store. I'm thinking it's maybe because the app is such a relatively old version, Amazon's network is giving it grief, but I don't know for certain.

Like I said, I can't see for sure what OS version I have, but it has to be one of the first iterations of 5.something.

If anyone has run into this, or has any suggestions to get the appstore working again, I'm all ears. I did a factory reset, both from in the OS and from the Amazon recovery (complete with wiping cache), with no luck. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementalcobalt:
Have you checked the clock? Sometimes, if the time is off, my store will break. Other than that, I'd recommend you download EZ File explorer, google form the most up to date amazon store apk, uninstall yours and give it a fresh install, especially if you feel out of date is the problem.

I'd also recommend you download a custom rom and flashfire and see if you can't fix that OS info problem, especially since you've already wiped all your data anyway.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
This won't work:

- the version of Amazon's app store is different on FireOS; I don't believe it's available for download

- I did not see the OP had wiped his data; the OS info problem is related to blocking OTA updates

---------- Post added 02-12-2017 at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was 02-11-2017 at 11:56 PM ----------

Best solution is to install a custom ROM; however you seem satisfied with FireOS.

Next best solution IMO is to reload FireOS (which includes Amazon's app store) but you will probably want to stick with version 5.0.1 if that's what is currently installed. Obvious problem is you can't determine that through normal means. Have to be careful here; if you attempt to reload 5.0.1 and your device is currently on 5.1.x or above it will brick. You would also need to reroot, reblock OTA updates, etc. In short, everything you did before. With no guarantee it will fix your original problem (although I think it will).

One way to test for 5.0.1 is to see if it will boot TWRP. However, that can be messy if you are unfamiliar with fastboot and/or have never established a connection with the device in question.

[MENTION=5936853]steve8x8[/MENTION] - I seem to recall you wrote a tool that can query current component/system levels. Thoughts?

p.s. You could also go with FireOS 5.3.1 which is the last build that can be rooted at present. No brick risk as 5.3.1 is >= the current version of FireOS on the device.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
It's not the clock, that's as it should be.

You are correct, I am happy with the FireOS.

I've played in fastboot before, and given EXACT instructions, I can regurgitate results, but it's not my native tongue. I don't know if the appstore version is locked to the OS version, but according to Appstore Settings under the manage Amazon apps section, I'm rocking release-9.1011.5.1.39.0_2000145010, last updated 2/12/15. Any way to link that with OS version?

If no more info can be gleaned from my device, either from the appstore version or something steve8x8 may have, I may just load 5.3.1 on and run from there. Kinda rather not, but I'd kinda rather not not have appstore access.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
To my knowledge there is no direct correlation of appstore version to FireOS version. Obviously there's a range but we'd need a 1-1 match to draw a comfortable conclusion.

You can test TWRP bootability by following the guidance in this post. If TWRP boots you can safely sideload FireOS 5.0.1 from here using instructions in this thread (posts #1 and #2). That said, if you have no intention of every installing a custom ROM there really isn't any advantage to retaining an older bootloader. If that's the case might as well sideload FireOS 5.3.1. Be aware there is no going back if you take this step.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
Ahhhh nuts. I'm getting "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" return on my Win7 machine trying to boot TWRP, and just simple USB transmission OK output on the device. Looks like I'm over 5.0.1.

Guess it's 5.3.1 for me. I'm assuming I can just follow the directions from sd_shadow's unbrick stock recovery ADB sideload thread, yes? Thanks for all of your help, I really appreciate it.

There's a guide to find bootloader version: https://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/development/identify-bootloader-version-t3424634

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

Just be sure that you don't accidentally update. Don't connect to WiFi until you have KingRoot, and be sure not to let the os update finish downloading. Once you connect, it will start. Some tips I found on how to avoid updates:
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
Along with not hooking up wifi immediately, I was thinking of using rootjunky's supertool for root & update blocking, as the tool says it's now compatible with 5.3.1. Should be good enough, as long as I don't connect to a network until ALL of the supertool fun is done (I hope).
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeeWall:
You need WiFi to root. That's why you need to be careful, since update starts quickly. Here's the thread the quote was from: https://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/help/dilemma-t3545062

If you can block the domains linked to in that thread, that'll help. It's not necessary, but it's a good idea.

EDIT: here's the post with them:
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
Ohhhhh, I didn't realize Kingroot needs internet access... Besides that, I saw in the tool's changelogs that it even removes Kingroot & puts the normal supersu in the system, so I thought everything was more or less a "normal" rooting procedure. Whoops. Thank you, I'll be DNS blocking before anything.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeeWall:
It removes KingRoot after using it to root. AFAIK, KingRoot is the only thing that can root these tablets. Personally, I'd recommend finding your bootloader version and flashing that, but it's just a personal preference, and has no practical difference unless you have 5.0.x, which you don't. I just like having oldest I can in case a downgrade method is ever found.

Also I may have an updated appstore apk from my brother's 5.3.2.1 tablet, let me check.

EDIT: Nope, I don't. I do, however, have an (old) apk from the Amazon website. See if installing this version helps. Just out of curiosity, could you attach the apk from your current appstore? I'm wondering if it will install on Fire Nexus. The UI looks much better than the version I have downloaded.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
I'll be happy to if you give me the path, or even the full name of the apk so I can search via root explorer.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeeWall:
If you have a file manager, search /system/app and /system/priv-app for com.amazon. venezia. Or, use an app like titanium backup to back it up.

It's taking forever to upload the apk I'm using, so here's the link if you want to test if it works: https://www.amazon.com/appstore_android_app

If not, I think you will need to reflash, unfortunately.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
Used this method, I'm on 5.1.1 (5.4.1_112720 5.1.1). Dagnabbit, missed it by that much.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeeWall:
Then I'd recommend flashing 5.1.1. Like I said, if a downgrade method is found, it will probably be for older versions. Plus it's harder to brick, since only one or two versions are below it.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
No go. Got a "Application Not Installed" error.

The thing there is, if the issue is indeed related to the age of the appstore, which doesn't look like it has been updated since the OS was, sideloading the same version would put me in the same boat I'm in now. If I drop 5.3.1 on there, that should fix me, assuming the age of the store is the underlying issue. Unless there's something I'm missing.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
Ok, my venezia is attached.
