Making SlimKat more faster and smoother


SlimSaber: SaberMod toolchain 4.8.4

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

After having a good response for some months in the i9100 thread, I decided to share this build since I also built for n7000.
This build is compiled using SaberMod toolchain and like the official one, it is built derived 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. You can consider this build is nightly and the build from the official thread is stable and weekly.

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

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 some AOSP fixes and improvements.
  • Added some VanirAOSP fixes and improvements.
  • Disabled SQLite fsync to increase I/O performance.
