All packages contains backup-script, so you dont have to flash gapps, everytime you flash a new build.

Many Thanks to @Deltadroid for making these.

F.A.Q (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the difference between these builds and the official builds?

These are unofficial builds of CyanogenMod 12.1 for the Xperia Z2/sirius.

ROM is built using the same source code (github) like the official one but with these following additions:

Compiled using sabermod arm-eabi 4.9.4 (kernel code) & sabermod arm-linux-androideabi 4.9.4 (rom code) toolchain compilers
May contain some custom cherry-picks. Always see changelog for details.
Cross-compiled using those custom toolchains results in a more smoother, faster, and battery friendly ROM

What is Toolchain?

To compile any Android project like a kernel or ROM, developers need to use a toolchain. As per elinux.org, a toolchain is a set of distinct software development tools that are linked (or chained) together by specific stages such as GCC, binutils and glibc (a portion of the GNU Toolchain). Toolchains may contain a debugger or a compiler for a specific programming language as C++ or other. Quite often, the toolchain used for embedded development is a cross toolchain, or more commonly known as a cross compiler. All the programs (like GCC) run on a host system of a specific architecture (such as x86) but produce binary code (executables) to run on a different architecture (e.g. ARM).

The most commonly used toolchain is GCC, initially released almost 20 years ago. A lightly modified GCC is used by Google during the AOSP build process. While Google’s GCC is considered to be the most stable toolchain around, it has some pretty decent competitors like Linaro and SaberMod. These projects are known to boost the overall system performance significantly on many devices. Let’s take a quick look to see the background of these projects.

What is SaberMod?

The term "SaberMod" is coming from:

the SaberMod project. Initially the project was used on SaberMod ROM for the Nexus 7 WiFi model (2013). This continued onto the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 through help of user donations. The toolchains are based on GNU GCC 4.8, 4.9, and 5.0 with AOSP patches forward ported into GNU GCC. SaberMod also provides extra optimization features unlike Google’s toolchain, which gives options for a few amendments in the ROM itself to add more performance gains, such as graphite loop transformation optimizations. SaberMod tracks other utilities from GNU in the toolchain source components that are generally more up to date than AOSP or Linaro toolchains, and almost always tracks the development branches of GNU GCC for the latest patches and bug fixes. The toolchain ecosystem of SaberMod is very different from AOSP, using complex scripts to provide quick, up to date toolchains. Other toolchain sources like the AOSP based toolchain build repository have been heavily modified to work in favor of the way SaberMod toolchains are produced. I have approached some toolchain developers to ask a few questions.

What is Linaro?

Linaro is the place where engineers from the world's leading technology companies define the future of Linux on ARM. The company is a not-for-profit engineering organization with over 120 engineers working on consolidating and optimizing open source software for the ARM architecture, including the GCC toolchain, the Linux kernel, ARM power management, graphics and multimedia interfaces. The Linaro organization was founded in mid 2010 and almost instantly its developers started to work on many projects, including GCC-based toolchains for ARM. Android builds compiled with Linaro started to pop up a few months later. Ever since the Linaro group was founded, users praised it for decent performance improvements and overall snappiness. Linaro uses its own solutions and is constantly updated. You can download the newest version of the toolchain directly from the web page.

Wiped system, cache and dalvik cache, installed CM12.1 20150330 and 5.1.0 gapps from known thread but ended up in a boot loop. Did the same with 5.0.2 gapps. I'm seeing lots of GC and SELinux relabeling messages in the log file.

Do I have to wipe Data too or am I running into another issue here?

yes, you need to wipe /data .. i needed to, or i would be stuck at boot animation.

twistedddx · Mar 31, 2015

I got stuck at boot screen until i wiped data also.

I flashed someones update to pa gapps for 5.1 and found aosp keyboard failed and had to install another ketboard via apk. I am blaming gapps package though for the issue.

keyboard issue aside everything so far seems as good as cm12 by infected.
If anything it maybe slightly more responsive.

You need to flash addon gg keyboard to kick out the force close issue, or just you the pack 1503 instead of 2903 (another person made it)

Can I please get a link to the GApps we suppose to use?

Do we have a recovery on this ROM?

Does this work ont the D6543 ??

Reb0rn · Mar 31, 2015

It's amazing to see that everything works as well as cm12. Awesome job! Now if only a custom kernel was available ?
