Bionic Optimizations
What is ART (Android Runtime)
ART Optimizations vs JIT
UBERTC (Uber Toolchain) Explanation from the author himself

Basically it makes the ROM silky smooth.

Thanks for sharing this lightweight, fast ROM.

I flashed it on my Pixel XL that has no SIM, so of course I got a no SIM error.
Looks nice. Anything you need tested while I have it installed?

Are you using April bootloader? Did you flash VBS zip? Or is the rom come with its own signature.

I think I'm on the "O" May release.
I don't know what VBS zip you're talking about.

I don't know what VBS zip you're talking about.

The May bootloader now checks for a signature in the boot image , unless the boot image is signed. So you either have to have a signed custom rom boot image, run the April bootloader or use Chainfires VerifiedBootSigner-v3.zip.

i too have the no sim error. Can't get network.

Updated OP. :good:

I flashed to stock may, flashed aprils bootloader, wiped and flashed rom and recovery, booted back to recovery to flash gapps, then booted. Setup with no sim went fine, just can't get it to recognize, i'm on tmobile.

 

[Reuben_skelz92]

Does this rom work or does the SIM not work?

 

[skulldreamz]

Please provide more info, like provider, what you flashed, etc.

It's because there is a bug in the O preview of your running fi. I have 2 xl's and when I switched my sim the beta still said enrolled until I manually flashed from Ubuntu 17.10 and just hit refresh and u will get the may 7.1.2 n will be good to go...

what's the difference between this and despairfactor's ubertc?

Im not sure what your asking?
Ubertc is a build toolchain and "this" is a rom built with that toolchain.
