[ROM][WEEKLY][CAF][5.0.2][16/04] SlimSaber - hammerhead [SlimLP Unofficial Builds]

JoaoPaulo · Apr 10, 2015

SlimLP hammerheadcaf Uber 4.9 Unofficial builds
Making SlimLP more faster and smoother

SlimSaber: Uber toolchain 4.9.3
SlimKernel: Uber toolchain 4.9.3

Disclaimer
I'm not responsible for any damages on your device.

The rom and the kernel are tested by me first before I make it available online. I could have overseen something during testing, please understand. In summary, the ROM is still SlimKat, with some additional features (see below), but is also compiled with SaberMod toolchain. You can consider this build as a "nightly" and the build from the official thread is stable and weekly.

!!! Please don't discuss these unofficial builds in the official thread. Users can get confused easily!!!

What makes different from the official SlimRoms

Compiled with a custom toolchain UBERTC for more performance and better battery life
Compiled with the GCC optimization level -O3
Compiled with strict-aliasing compiler optimization
Added patches to fix GCC strict-aliasing violation rules
Added ARMv7 optimized string handling routines for more smoothness and more memory optimization
Disabled SQLite fsync to increase I/O performance
Cherry-picked some AOSP bug and memory leak fixes
Cherry-picked some KitKat bug and memory leak fixes

Installation instructions
Coming from stock or another ROM:

Full wipe: system, data, cache, dalvik cache.
Flash the SlimSaber build.
Flash gapps from here
Flash latest SuperSU from here

Coming from previous SlimSaber build:

Flash the SlimSaber build.
No need to wipe dalvik-cache. The system will do it anyway if it needs to.
No need to re-flash gapps. Gapps will be restored back automatically by backup tool during flashing.

Known Issues

Skype call not working.
Use Skype version 4.9.0.45564
Lens blur photos will crash while processing
This is caused by using a toolchain version number greater than 4.7.
"Prevent accidental wake up" display option causes black screen when incoming call comes in
Disable it for the time being, until the bug is fixed

Since fusionjack source is caf based, and neither of us have time to support two branches (aosp and caf) i will say no for the time being, but if i get time in future will do it for sure

Is CAF his preference or is that the direction of the Slim Team now?

I'll probably give this one a shot this weekend regardless. Thanks for the build.

Caf source is used to compile to bacon, is the main branch for it, as bacon is maintained directly from CAF, and not from google, so it dont have pure aosp as ours do. But i prefer to use caf too, caf is much more optimized now, i could get easily 4h SOT with default kernel settings, no tweaking, no undervoltage on my first private builds.

so i would say you to give a shot to caf

Flash it from fastboot its easy. Put device in bootloadet and run this command on pc (on directory of your twrp img): fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.imh

Just a heads up. Looks like xposed breaks everything on this rom. I tried installing the official alpha2 build and everything goes to hell on boot.

xposed is a really early alpha for lollipop, what apps are u trying to use with xposed?

I was just looking at lolistats, YouTube adaway, and snapprefs, but installing that zip recovery is what seems to break everything. I know it's early, but I figured it should still work as it does with both CM and AOSP 5.0 roms.

Yes it should, but caf roms, and specially slimsaber, have tons of different things of aosp and cm, in a near future u maybe could get xposed working on caf roms, i am sure that xposed dev, wont give up. Btw, i think u can get similar apps that dont use xposed

fusionjack · Apr 13, 2015

xposed doesn't work on slimsaber. some ART optimizations (or perhaps others) that i used make it incompatible with xposed.
@TomorrowLand_Ace: good job :good:
