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

F.A.Q.
Additional features included!
The main features are the compilation of the ROM with -03 flags, strict aliasing and Sabermod, along with the rest of the optimisations listed in the OP. These are all to increase performance and battery life. But of course, there are some additional features included:
Gesture unlock for lockscreen
Network speeds in status bar
Configure double tap status bar to sleep
Custom system animations
Integrated performance options in ROM
Soft reboot option
Mobile data disabled by default. This is to avoid extra carrier charges during ROM setup
SuperSU root management
Lockscreen Notifications
Advanced calculator with floating mode
Battery saving network mode: Automatic switch to 2G when screen is off.
Smooth scrolling (disable scrolling cache)
Confirm to reboot to bootloader/recovery
For a more comprehensive list, please see this post by Harsha Raj in the i9100 thread.
Mobile data isn't working!!
Once the ROM is booted, go to Settings -> Toggle 'Mobile networks' for data to be enabled.
It's disabled on purpose, by default. This is so when you first flash the ROM, no data is used, as some carriers charge heavily for even small data transfers.
What about theme chooser?
Next post down, look in the "Goodies" post to find flashable themes
Root doesn't work!
Enable 'Developer options'
Go to Settings -> About Phone
Tap on the Build Number 7 times
Go to Settings -> Developer options -> Root access
Choose 'Apps' or 'Apps and ADB'
How to change DPI?
Currently, this feature hasn't been ported... so you'll need to install Texdroider DPI from the playstore... or edit /system/build.prop and change ro.sf.lcd_density to the desired value

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
How come all CAF i try i end of with failed update binary when i flash? Im on factory 5.1 do i need to factory image 5.02? im on 2.8.5.2

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.

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
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:

Code:
I take no responsability if your phone crashes,burns,explodes,kills your daughter/son/pet/wife or starts a thermonuclear war, when using my ROM,I try to do my best to keep things safe,but one never knows
So,here it is
A really close to AOSP experience with Linaro,AOSP Openmaster,CodeAuroraForum[Qualcomm guys] optimizations
Built from Linaro KitKat sources,with their special ARM optimized toolchain,
With load of optimizations in a wide variety of projects(and more are to come)
Compiled with Google's Kernel for MSM(planning to switch to a custom kernel with more and more optimizations) to have a perfectly working build and very stable.
Includes ART fixes to allow the usage of previously incompatible apps at install time,however there are some apps which require calls to dalvik specific code(e.g. Titanium Backup which will continue to not work and there's not much I can do till developers update their code)
ROM comes without gapps(obviously),feel free to download the ones you like most.
Install instructions for EXT4:
Reboot to recovery
Make a backup
Flash my rom
Flash gapps if you want
Reboot and enjoy
If rom gets stuck at boot(or crashes without a reason),
Reboot to recovery(hint: hold power button for 10 seconds and phone will reboot)
Do a factory reset
Reboot and enjoy
Install instructions for F2FS:
Nothing to see here,yet.
Download:
Beta 1.0
Nightlies:
AndroidFileHost link
For more infos go to linaro site
I plan to build builds almost daily(Only if there are relevant changes and if I have time to build)
I accept any feature request,both for rom and kernel(and I'm open to switch to any kernel you might want,as long as a majority requests it)
Source code
Source code which isn't 100% linaro will be on LinaroDroid github account
Kernel source code is in here [URL="https://github.com/LinaroDroid/android_kernel_lge_hammerhead/tree/kk4.4"]LinaroDroid kernel/lge/hammerhead

Kang at will and feel free to comment submit pull requests
Scheduled features:
F2FS - Testing stage
Navbar customization - WIP
I am currently seeking for contributors to the project,anyone is free to commit features and port this to any other device

Just to make building supereasy,I made something quick for you
assuming you are running linux,just run this
Code:
curl https://raw.github.com/helicopter88/linaro_scripts/kk4.4/builder.sh && chmod a+x builder.sh && source builder.sh
This will set up the environment and start a build(I did exclude vendor blobs as you might prefer to get 'em from your phone)
Downloading!
If you have any problem with boot,do a factory reset,and make sure it really reset your data
I am a big fan of linaro optimization. looking forward to this rom. so now pretty no additional features right?

You should provide a log to help the dev out :good:
If I may ask, what is your philosophy with this ROM? Since you take all feature requests, do you intend on it branching far from the AOSP experience over time with heavy features? Or are you shooting for a simple and stable linaro optimized AOSP build? Only reason I ask is that I am extremely interested in the latter and would probably make this my daily driver :good: Either way, thanks for bringing this to us!!
::EDIT::
By the way, if you are looking for a custom kernel, might I recommend giving a shout to the maker of Bricked kernel. His kernel has linaro optimizations as well and is stable as hell.
You don't say...I'm at work. Flashed on a break, reverted to my backup so I'd have use of a phone.
Another tester (and me) had no issues with settings.. Tried WiFi,bluetooth and more..
Did you do a factory reset?
Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
Already fixed the issue. Cleaning up the files I normally pull out of zips I deleted NFC. Problem solved. Also running with the linaro Franco and moto dalvik patches!

Since Linaro usually sticks to AOSP and just optimizes,most of the users would find 0 reasons to switch over from stock to this,instead,by adding some features(not the heavily bloated ones) I want to give you more reasons to try this..
Due to the speed of this phone on stock,I really doubt I can increase in any way its speed to be really noticeable
I will check kernels tomorrow after doing something interesting to the build(hint: https://lwn.net/Articles/518718/ )
This is with Franco linaro and moto x dalvik patch
Includes ART fixes to allow the usage of previously incompatible apps.

It comes from my hobby to building rom that is actually for private use and then some users found it on my goo.im. Due to some suggestions from them (rkoby13 is one of them ), I decided to create this thread to share my builds with you.
This build is compiled using SaberMod toolchain and like the official one, it is built 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 need a kitkat compatible cwm. See installation instructions in 1st op
How to change DPI?
Currently, this feature hasn't been ported... so you'll need to install Texdroider DPI from the playstore... or edit /system/build.prop and change ro.sf.lcd_density to the desired value
Stuck at the Samsung logo
Follow this steps to get rid of the stuck and to have back your valuable data:
Go to recovery and make a twrp/cwm backup.
Do a full wipe + mount system + format system.

========================================
I, Cyril, am not a developer or maintainer of any sort
These are UNOFFICIAL builds, this device is no longer supported by the Slim-team.
The goal is to provide yet another Android 4.4 option for the SGH-i777.
I plan to build as time permits; no sooner than weeklies, and I'll be sure to capture stable releases.
Massive thanks to the @SteveMurphy, @razen_kain, @RenderBroken, @creepyncrawly, @4-2ndtwin, @nimper (and all of the i777 community) for the continued encouragement and support.
Speaking of community support, if the builds develop issues I will need your help finding and ironing out solutions. The biggest tip will be to see whether it's affecting the i9100 or n7000, and what they're doing about it.
If the builds start crashing, well that may be the end of SlimKat on the i777.
Please stop by the [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-slimsaber-i9100-t2350201/post43247085]i9100 SlimSaber thread[/url] and show @fusionjack some thanks.
Happy Flashing
-Cyril
It's a beautiful thing having people who can bring these roms to an old device, many many thanks, sir!
I must say, I am proud of these recent achievements, and I'm very glad to be able to give BACK to the community that brought me along.
I'm just clearing a year here on xda, and as a first-time smart-phone owner, I never thought that I'd be this involved. I just wanted to get rid of the AT&T bloat, and joined because I had a few questions. Now I've got a github account, and am pushing commits, and forking projects!
I won't get too far ahead of myself, I'm still no dev, I don't know the language, and I really don't plan to go that far (although I said that once before). I owe a lot to the fact that the i9100 is SO similar.

good job cyril...:good:
btw, i think you need to maintain the slimcenter ota by yourself since i don't have influence of your update frequency.
basically, you need to change:
the download url of changelog: https://github.com/SlimSaber/packages_apps_SlimCenter/blob/kk4.4/res/values/strings.xml#L74
the ota file: https://github.com/SlimSaber/packages_apps_SlimCenter/blob/kk4.4/res/values/strings.xml#L82
use the ota xml file from the url mentioned above as a template and you need to host this file to your hosting choice which support direct/hot linking. i use wuala file hosting for now...
in this file, you can supply the download folder of the rom.
every time you release a new build, you need to adjust the rom file name (the date part) so that all users get notification if there is a new update.
concerning moving apps: there is a new feature that enables moving apps to external volume. this feature is still disabled for our device. as result, moving app is impossible for now. i'll try to enable it tonight...:fingers-crossed:
concerning scripts: in case you didn't know yet, i have some scripts that you can use to build a rom, generate changelog and send a rom to your device. see here: https://github.com/SlimSaber/scripts
I would echo Cyril's comments... I have an S2, and couldn't stand the AT&T version of JB. Too much crap in there...and having had a gTab before and being well-versed in getting it rooted and custom ROM's on it, I just thought it was natural to come find "this" community. Now, I have a 3-4 year old phone that runs like a champ on the cutting-edge Android...what's not to like about that?
Cyril, I've been fascinated to watch/read your journey through this, and appreciate your tenacity.
And since I'm thanking folks, thanks to SteveMurphy and razen_kain, the former for timely updates to the Res, and the latter for just answering lots of stupid questions patiently.
Excellent work with this rom, everything running great so far keep up with the great work!

Is it possible to flash Renders CWM kernel on this rom? I'm trying it out now but my backups are in CWM, not TWRP. Also I don't think GPS is working on this rom. I tried using Waze and it keeps telling me NO GPS available.
I haven't tried Renders' CWM with this firmware, but I expect that it should work just fine.
If the concern is accessing your CWM backups, nandroid manager is also an option. It can see everything inside CWM or TWRP backups, no matter which is currently installed.

Thanks for pointing me to that app. I'm assuming can you restore an entire nandroid backup from that app no matter what recovery is installed. I don't really care about extracting apps from the backups. I want to do a complete nandoid recovery.

If you're only looking to restore a complete nandroid, I would suggest something more like your original plan:
reboot to recovery > install RB_cwm_kernel > reboot to recovery > restore cwm backup.
I'm not a fan of relying on apps and their scripts to restore complete nandroids.
It's a great app for managing nandroids, thanks to @razen_kain for pointing it out to me.

@cyril279 does this mean that your development/maintenance of SlimKat weeklies is on pause or has ended? Just want to know if we should switch over to SlimSaber instead of waiting on further development of the SlimKat.
Btw... Tried SlimSaber pretty nifty :laugh: but some features I prefer from SlimKat so I'm back to SlimKat for now...
Keep up the good work though :good:
I've been getting some really great battery life AND performance on this ROM for a couple days. Battery keeps getting better and there has not been one single hiccup since the first boot. Running stock kernel BTW. Thanks for this Cyril! I can really tell a difference with the saber mod tool chain. Probably going to dd this one for a while. Tried to talk the wife into it but she's a resurrection remix girl now
I will definitely continue building SlimKat weekly.
Just not this next week. Not for either firmware.
I would like to know, more specifically, what you prefer about slimkat.

Thinking about it now it's only 2 things i can remember that sent me back to SlimKat for now.
1. I didn't find the option for me to select which home option I'd like to choose (Simple issue yes I know)
2. I wasn't getting any other account to sync after google accounts were added.
I think there might have been something else, but I'd have to flash again to see what it was.

"home option"?
I'm not clear on what home options you're looking for.
I'm not aware of any functional difference in-between the two firmwares, only SMDK4210 specific optimizations, but I could be wrong.
settings > device [Home] > {choose launcher}?
-or maybe -
settings > advanced settings [Navigation} > Hardware Buttons > Home Key {options}?
Regarding account sync issues, the only time I had problems was the result of dirty-flashing.
Either way, whether OG Slim, or Super-charged Slim, you can't go wrong!

I have tested the builds that my scripts have spat out before and they all work just as well as if I did it by hand. This just saves me time and effort. I am also looking for a easy way to mirror. Google Drive is just super easy to upload to with my scripts but I would love to have a mirror that updates automatically too. Let me know if you have ideas.

They have the exact same base just with new stuff added on top for my builds so it *SHOULD* be fine, but I make no promises. When dirty flashing there is ALWAYS a risk to be had. I dont see any reason why it wouldn't work. Just be prepared to wipe if you flash and run into weird errors.
To be careful I would:
Wipe (/system, /cashe, /davlik)
Flash Rom and Gapps of your choice
Flash Kernel or Fixes you want (Many kernels dont work properly with vanir but I know uber does with the fixes I have made for it.
Reboot to system.

AOSP Kernels need to edit the Ramdisk in order to be used with vanir because it is a CAF-Hybrid. Uber has scripts that it runs when it is installed to make these edits, but MANY kernels do not. I find it doubtful that franco would. The main changes that need to be changed are the PM Drivers because the Vanir Kernel uses CAF one and AOSP use AOSP ones so you need to change where it searches for the PM drivers in the ramdisk.
If you run an incombaitble kernel your battery will drain to no end. if you look in the battery status it will say that the android system is draining all the battery by keeping the device awake. (Basicly the PM drivers arent running) The way to fix this is to edit the ramdisk. There are like 20 lines or so you need to edit. It can be done manually but you cant mess it up or you might get a bricked phone.
The uber fix I have listed fixes some audio bugs that uber and other AOSP kernels have with vanir. In short it is do-able to make franco combatible with Vanir, but the scripts aren't in place and franco would need to do or someone who wants to kang his work.

Disclaimer
I'm not responsible for any damages on your device.
Some of you perhaps already know me from SlimSaber i9100 thread. My focus is to optimize the ROM in many areas and compiled it with custom toolchain Uber for more performance and smoothness.
I choose SlimRoms as a base because it is a lightweight and not a bloated ROM, but it still has rich features. Combined with some of CM features, I bake a ROM that has more useful features but still lightweight.
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.
Installation instructions
Coming from 5.1.1 or another ROM:
Follow the guide how to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery from here

How to use Xposed with SlimSaber?
See this post
Chamber of Secrets
In my opinion, this is the most powerful Slim feature ever implemented. However this is a dangerous feature which is hidden by default.
How to enable it:
Go to Development Settings - Scroll to the bottom - Tap the empty area
How to use it:
Go to your home screen
Add a widget and choose Slim Shortcuts
Since it is a type of shortcut, you can use it somewhere else, e.g. in Nova launcher's gesture.
Click Chamber of Secrets
Go to https://github.com/SlimSaber/frameworks_base/blob/lp5.1/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java and pick one of settings name
There are two types of settings: A switch setting and a value-based setting
If you are unsure about the setting type, don't use this setting because which value that will be used is matter. You could end up with continuous FC or even a full wipe.
Example for switch setting: show_alarm_icon
Enter the setting name "show_alarm_icon"
Answer Switch question to "yes"
Example for value-based setting: statusbar_clock_style
Enter the setting name "statusbar_clock_style"
Answer Switch question to "no"
Enter the possible value: "0,1,2"
If you aren't sure about the values, don't use this setting

If you haven't flash CM12 firmwares, you need to flash it. Refer to the CM12 firmwares FAQ.
If you already have flashed it, check and change your APN. Don't use the IPv6 APN, here is how to do it.
If all above methods don't work, then you need to use the old 44S modem with an older sensor blob. You still need CM12 firmwares.
Here are the steps of using the old modem:
Flash CM12 firmwares
Flash ROM + gapps
Flash 44S modem
Flash older sensor blob. Thanks to NoSpamDan
Reboot to ROM
If you dirty flash a new build, you need to flash the older sensor blob again, but you don't need to flash the 44S modem again.
How to use SlimSaber Lollipop along with KitKat with Multirom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58500100&postcount=4610
I have a bootloop when flashing build 01/18 onwards
What is CM12 firmwares and how to flash it
CM12 firmwares are the firmwares that are pulled from CM12 nightly and starting from build 20150118 onwards, it is mandatory to flash these firmwares prior flashing the rom. Otherwise you'll end up with bootloop.
The zip file contains 8 firmwares including the Alpha modem for the partition: emmc_appsboot.mbn, logo.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, rpm.mbn, sbl1.mbn, sdi.mbn, static_nvbk.bin, and tz.mbn
If you are using Multirom, don't flash it through Multirom menu. Flash it through the main TWRP menu "Install".
If you see a bigger "OnePlus One" logo, then you have successfully flashed CM12 firmwares.
You just need to flash this only once as these firmwares are shared among all roms. This means if you flashed CM12 firmwares, then you cannot use KK roms. Refer to the next FAQ for downgrade possibility.

With stock cm11s camera would be awesome
I think so too, you should add the appropriate Camera.apk since there is no point in having a camera that can't do 4K videos on a 4K device
I know i shouldn't, but all those optimizations stuff led me to download Antutu.. Strange enough i got around 34k which is quite low, isn't it?
Stock cm11s works just download the apk and install it normally.

we all know that, that's not the problem =)
Thanks for this. I know it is not proper procedure, but do you think it's safe to dirty flash this over official slim?
I did, i wiped system and caches, not data though

I think so too, you should add the appropriate Camera.apk since there is no point in having a camera that can't do 4K videos on a 4K device
I know i shouldn't, but all those optimizations stuff led me to download Antutu.. Strange enough i got around 34k which is quite low, isn't it?

it shouldn't be a problem, but just in case, do a backup first.
uploaded a consolidated changelog in the release summary for the one who is interested
btw, thanks for the feedback till now, really appreciated that :good:
I am a huge fan of SlimKat... But your roms are new to me.
I read your first post and cannot differentiate how you are different from SlimKat.
Do you simply provide more fixes/optimizations over what SlimKat could not deliver?
I'd love to try your rom, but I'd rather not waste my time flashing it if SlimKat works so perfectly for me already.
I do, however, would like to how how you are different from SlimKat and what you bring to the table.
Many thanks

The changelog should give you an indication of what is new on this. This will be updated regularly compared to Slim. Built using sabermod which gives it an extra oomph. It's like an ever changing Slim with new commits being included. Like the sunlight eligibility is a very new feature.

SlimSaber: SaberMod toolchain 4.8.4
SlimKernel: SaberMod toolchain 4.9.2
Important Info
Fusionjack is the developer of this ROM and kernel. I only build to support the hammerhead. Please take the time to thank his thread here.
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 it different from the official SlimKat?
Compiled with a custom toolchain Sabermod 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 better memory optimization
Disabled SQLite fsync to increase I/O performance
Cherry-picked some AOSP bug and memory leak fixes
Cherry-picked some KitKat bug-fixes and memory leak fixes
Powered by SuperSU
Extra features not included in official builds. Please see the second post for a list of these.
Official Slim Features
These features listed above are in addition to the official Slim features. Please see the awesome new feature browser, and the official Slim Manual for a detailed description of the official Slim features!
Installation instructions
Coming from stock or another ROM:
Follow the guide how to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery from here.
Full wipe: system, data, cache, dalvik cache.
Flash the SlimSaber build.
Flash gapps from here, or dankoman's Slim gapps thread. See this post before flashing newest beta gapps.
Coming from previous SlimSaber build:
Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Flash the SlimSaber build.
No need to re-flash gapps. Gapps will be restored back automatically by backup tool during flashing.
Known Issues
Lens blur photos will crash while processing. This is caused by using a toolchain version number greater than 4.7.

F.A.Q.
Additional features included!
The main features are the compilation of the ROM with -03 flags, strict aliasing and Sabermod, along with the rest of the optimisations listed in the OP. These are all to increase performance and battery life. But of course, there are some additional features included:
Gesture unlock for lockscreen
Network speeds in status bar
Configure double tap status bar to sleep
Custom system animations
Integrated performance options in ROM
Soft reboot option
Mobile data disabled by default. This is to avoid extra carrier charges during ROM setup
SuperSU root management
Lockscreen Notifications
Advanced calculator with floating mode
Battery saving network mode: Automatic switch to 2G when screen is off.
Smooth scrolling (disable scrolling cache)
Confirm to reboot to bootloader/recovery
For a more comprehensive list, please see this post by Harsha Raj in the i9100 thread.
Mobile data isn't working!!
Once the ROM is booted, go to Settings -> Toggle 'Mobile networks' for data to be enabled.
It's disabled on purpose, by default. This is so when you first flash the ROM, no data is used, as some carriers charge heavily for even small data transfers.
What about theme chooser?
Next post down, look in the "Goodies" post to find flashable themes
Root doesn't work!
Enable 'Developer options'
Go to Settings -> About Phone
Tap on the Build Number 7 times
Go to Settings -> Developer options -> Root access
Choose 'Apps' or 'Apps and ADB'
How to change DPI?
Currently, this feature hasn't been ported... so you'll need to install Texdroider DPI from the playstore... or edit /system/build.prop and change ro.sf.lcd_density to the desired value
What is the Toolchain?

What is SaberMod?
The term "SaberMod" is coming from:

How to disable CellBroadcastReceiver
Go to Settings - Wireless & Networks - More - Mobile broadcasts

Flashable themes
Please thank @vampsoft for his hard work in bringing colour to Slim without Xposed and theme chooser! He's made a heap of flashable vrthemes, some of which also include fancy transition animations. For screenshots, please search his past posts or see this post for one example. Also go here to thank him for his hard work!
For theme downloads, please go here for a central download location:

Link 2
Make sure to thank vampsoft for his hard work!
Extra volume steps
To add extra volume steps into the ROM, we can edit build.prop. I use ES file explorer with root permissions granted. Navigate to /system/build.prop, and add these two lines, but change the number to what you desire. Stock is 15. After adding the lines, make sure to reboot. Done! Thanks fusionjack for the tip
Code:
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=30
ro.config.vc_music_vol_steps=20

Great to see SlimSaber here, @Hopper8. Always loved @fusionjack's work on the i9100/i777 (the latter by way of @cyril279), so a big thank you for building this for us.
