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
