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.
