- fastboot flash boot boot.img (extract boot.img from an official AOSPAL honami build zip or these builds)
- fastboot reboot
- enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+
- flash rom zip
- flash gapps zip
- wipe
- reboot

F.A.Q (Frequently Asked Questions)

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

These are unofficial builds of AOSPA Legacy for the Xperia Z1/Honami/C6903
ROM is built using the same source code (github) like the official one but with these following additions:

• Compiled using linaro arm-eabi 4.9.1 14.07 (kernel code) & sabermod arm-linux-androideabi 4.8.4 14.07 (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?

In software, a toolchain is the set of programming tools that are used to create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked development tools.
A simple software development toolchain consists of a compiler and linker to transform the source code into an executable program, libraries to provide interfaces to the operating system, and a debugger. A complex product such as a video game needs tools for preparing sound effects, music, textures, 3-dimensional models, and animations, and further tools for combining these resources into the finished product.

What is SaberMod?

The term "SaberMod" is coming from:

SaberMod is a AOSP based ROM with some extra features added in and mostly from CyanogenMod. SaberMod started out pure AOSP when android 4.2.1 launched. Originally it was pure AOSP with a few extra features I ported over from CyanogeMod and linaro optimizations. Then I rebased everything off of rasbeanjelly because I liked many features found in rasbean. Since then I've modified a lot of the code so not much of it is rasbeanjelly based anymore. But you will still find some commonly used features found in rasbeanjelly. SaberMod is not a rasbeanjelly or CM clone, or KANG. Custom kernels are included for certain devices when available. These are personal builds we make for ourselves and originally became very popular in the nexus 7 forums. Features are very rarely added, and are built to SaberMod's team members liking. Currently there are two members of SaberMod working on this project. Myself and @jarjar124 . Please understand our time is limited and we are only two people who have lives, and do not have 25-50 members like CyanogenMod to add things. And our goal is not to add a bunch of features that bloat the system of the ROM.

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.

About GCC main compiler cflags

-O1
Optimize. Optimizing compilation takes somewhat more time, and a lot more memory for a large function. With -O, the compiler tries to reduce code size and execution time, without performing any optimizations that take a great deal of compilation time.

-O2
Optimize even more. GCC performs nearly all supported optimizations that do not involve a space-speed tradeoff. As compared to -O, this option increases both compilation time and the performance of the generated code. -O2 turns on all optimization flags specified by -O.

-O3
Optimize yet more. -O3 turns on all optimizations specified by -O2 and also turns on the -finline-functions, -funswitch-loops, -fpredictive-commoning, -fgcse-after-reload, -ftree-loop-vectorize, -ftree-slp-vectorize, -fvect-cost-model, -ftree-partial-pre and -fipa-cp-clone options.

-Os
Optimize for size. -Os enables all -O2 optimizations that do not typically increase code size. It also performs further optimizations designed to reduce code size.

first

wow new rom i must try it

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

install finito

start with Rom now i write feedback later

 

[iiD4x]

Thx , but is there anything different from the old AOSPAL we have here ?

yes. these builds are cross-compiled with custom toolchains, instead of google gcc 4.6 & 4.7 "stock" ones... the gcc toolchains that can be used are linaro, sabermod, and boosted... compiling using latest gcc versions 4.8/4.9, using -O3 optimizations, strict-aliasing, and other performance/optimization flags, results in the advantages described on the third OP.. smoother, faster, and more battery friendly builds...

try it, and them give feedback...

any doubt, feel free to ask.

regards.

Lol, Official AOSPAL we have here using latest SaberMod toolchain also..

OPTIMIZATION:

Offical SaberMod toolchain (GCC 4.8 for ROM , 4.9 for Kernel)
Strict-aliasing enabled
Memory optimization flags
Graphite

i dont mean anything, but we already have it OFFICIAL for honami.

you must be mixing things up... Paranoid Android (AOSPA) uses google toolchains.. just check manifests.

Paranoid Android Legacy (AOSPAL) also uses google toolchains... check manifests.

Paranoid Saberdroid (AOSPAL also), i dont give a dime what they use...

i told to try ROM first...

regards.

Is there any disadvantage of this over the official one?

This will be faster

quite the opposite.. run for half a day with stock PA, then run the other half of the day with a PA linaro/sabermod build.

you can flash each on top of another and vice-versa.

You'll see the differences..

 

[siwan05]

When I've flashed the boot.img from CM11 and try to access my sdcard from recovery I get the following error:
E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard1

Any idea on how to solve this?

Thanks

Try flashing the boot.img from this rom zip

yeah.. i need to change 2nd post instructions according to AOSPAL..

 

[zhuoyang]

You might want to change the tag to AOSPA as AOSPAL is the name for Paranoid SaberDroid. It is kinda misleading IMO.

if @infected_ would be kind enough to give changelogs then it would be batter
Though new build working Superb

there isn’t any.. its same 4.44 build, but i only added extra cpu governors and i/o schedulers... sure there were things merged, you can check gerrit ..

its an untested build. don’t have time to do it atm...

it's perfect build i installed with fresh install :good: and now it's good with all cpu governors :angel:
