I'm using it now and i haven't seen any major difference to speak of. Found a changelog for it here
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2361122
On June 4, The 2.7.1.0 recovery changes were committed directly to SlimRoms/bootable_recovery, and merged into the SlimSaber project. I will look into it further to see if I'll need to make any device specific changes, or whether it was intentionally kept from certain device families.
I will be taking the long-road to determine the answer, mainly because I have a loose grasp of what I am doing. Any guidance or assistance is welcome.

Not to nag or anything but will GPS be fixed on the next build of this ROM or is there a mini fix or a zip for the GPS fix?
EDIT: never mind. I went to the i9100 thread of this ROM and found the GPS fix from there. I fixed mine with the Google play app.

I wasn't aware of any GPS issues. My device, running the slimsaber latest build gets a very quick lock, and holds it for the duration of my travel.
Can you link us to the information that you found in the i9100 thread on the matter? and the proposed workarounds?

The GPS issue seems strange to me, this shouldn't be an issue on the i777, which only has a handful of radios to use... unless there's a radio difference in-between the i777 and the s959g?
I'm currently on i777UCMD8, and am not experiencing ANY gps lock issues at all. I normally have lock within twenty seconds. I live on the east-coast, but my wife and I both used GPS apps while in Northern California recently.
Based on the posts (dated mid-may of 2014) it seems that GPS was completely broken for only SOME users.
If this issue is only affecting a handful of users, and NOT in a systematic way, then I'm not sure that there is anything to fix.
Is anyone else experiencing such GPS issues?

Nope...used it today to drive 2 hours away, and it worked like a champ. My initial lock seemed a touch slow, but once it hit, it was gold.
Well. I asked because I was a state over and I looked on Maps and it show the location where I flashed this ROM last at. But I fixed it now with the GPS fix app from the Play Store.

I tried to run a build this morning, but the process error-ed out at the very end... AFTER all of the modules had already been successfully created, so I'm not sure what that's about. Either way, I'm hoping that I simply chose to sync repositories at a bad time, and am re-building right now. I'll be asleep when it finishes, but hopefully I'll have a build to post tomorrow morning.:fingers-crossed:
paste the error here and i'll take a look...

@fusionjack, I'm still not sure what the issue was, it behaved as though I had left the word bacon out of make -j8 bacon. This time I ran your script instead. I sincerely appreciate you keeping an eye on us in here.

Yes, this build is good, including TWRP 2.7.1.0
I've really got to work on getting proper changelogs...
I can say that this build will include everything from the 20140614 and 20140622 changelogs posted here:

Anybody running this wanna test a kernel for me? Have one for CM11 but trying to port it here before I released a beta
Gotta say Cyril I'm sure glad you moved away from mediafire. They are really not very user friendly if you're not at a PC. Android host file is really really nice :thumbup:
I re - sync sources each time I run a build, so every build is compiled with the latest everything (as of the build date, of course).

15SlimKat i9100 SaberMod 4.8 Unofficial builds
Making SlimKat faster and smoother
SlimROM: SaberMod toolchain 4.8
SlimKernel: SaberMod toolchain 4.7
Disclaimer
I'm not responsible for any damages on your device.
It comes from my hobby to building rom that is actually for private use and then some users found it on my goo.im. Due to some suggestions from them (rkoby13 is one of them), I decided to create this thread to share my builds with you.
This build is compiled using SaberMod toolchain and like the official one, it is built from the same source: Slimroms github.
I could cherry-pick some commits ahead from Slimbean team or patches from other repositories that I find useful.
The ROM and the kernel are tested by me first before I make it available online. I could have overseen something during testing, please be understand.
In summary, it is still Slimbean that is compiled with SaberMod toolchain. [...]
<<< THESE ARE UNOFFICIAL BUILDS || THE I777 IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE SLIM TEAM >>>
Additional changes
- Compiled with a custom toolchain Sabermod for more performance and better battery life.
- Compiled with the most GCC optimization level -O3.
- Compiled with strict-aliasing compiler optimization.
- Added patches to fix GCC strict-aliasing violation rules.
- Added ARMv7 and Cortex-A9 optimized string handling routines for more smoothness and more memory optimization.
- Added zzmoove governor to the SlimKernel.
- Added some AOSP fixes and improvements.
- Added some VanirAOSP fixes and improvements.
- Disabled SQLite fsync to increase I/O performance.
See here. Thanks a lot Harsha Raj!

I, Cyril, am not a developer or maintainer of any sort
These are UNOFFICIAL builds, this device is no longer supported by the Slim-team.
The goal is to provide yet another Android 4.4 option for the SGH-i777.
I plan to build as time permits; no sooner than weeklies, and I'll be sure to capture stable releases.
Massive thanks to the @SteveMurphy, @razen_kain, @RenderBroken, @creepyncrawly, @4-2ndtwin, @nimper (and all of the i777 community) for the continued encouragement and support.
Speaking of community support, if the builds develop issues I will need your help finding and ironing out solutions. The biggest tip will be to see whether it's affecting the i9100 or n7000, and what they're doing about it.
If the builds start crashing, well that may be the end of SlimKat on the i777.

Happy Flashing
