[ROM][CM9] Experiment With Linaro

---

There's been quite a lot of fuss lately about the Linaro toolchain. Here's a thread about it. After reading up on the issues the CM team expects to have with the toolchain e.g. breaking everything, I made some tweaks to at least get a rom built with the toolchain.

This is nothing special, if you decide to try it you'll likely see little difference from the latest CM nightly. I built this for myself to test on my own but I see no harm in at least throwing a link out there for the good people to play with. I'm sure that once the experts working on AOSP and CM have implimented the toolchain in a more pretty and less ad hoc way there will be peace on earth, goodwill toward man and lighting fast roms to go around.

Also on a somewhat unrelated note, I updated the kernel to Linux 3.0.34. The CM kernel was 3.0.32 last I checked. Not sure if it has been update since then or not.

Needless to say, I did not create CyanogenMod, Linux, or the Linaro toolchain and I'm not responsible for anything ever. Without further ado, here's the link.

Well, since I didn't know there was a 6/11 cm9 experimental nightly I'm not really sure. But if you happen to have a change log handy I could take a look and let you know. I haven't been able to find one. Downloading the rom now though.

Can you also make the kernel into a zip in case people would like to flash it on another Rom? I'm just asking no biggie if you can't I'm running CM9 experimental build & its running like a champ don't feel like download & flashing another Rom but would like if you can make the kernel into separate zip

So liriano is kernel based not rom based if that makes sense?

The kernel in this rom is not built with the linaro toolchain. Ezekeel has a thread somewhere that shows compiler optimizations have little effect on kernel performance. The kernel here is only different from CM because it's from a newer linux kernel version.

EDIT: Ezekeel's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1371044
EDIT2: Killasmoke: I'll see what I can do.

EDIT3: Kernel link in OP

OK makes a little more sense now thank you
