Reborn ‘R’ Edition​

​

SlimSaber: SaberMod toolchain 4.9.0

SlimKernel: SaberMod toolchain 4.9.2​

Disclaimer

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

As you may know from the SlimSaber main thread, I’m starting to release the SlimSaber 4.3.1 again based on SlimBean.

I named this version as ‘Reborn’ because I started to saber SlimBean 4.3.1 again from scratch and it has some KitKat bug and memory leak fixes.

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.

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

Installation instructions

Coming from 4.1.x or 4.2.x or another ROM to 4.3.x:

Flash recovery from here. A kernel is a recovery and a recovery is a kernel.

Reboot to recovery. Not to the system!

Full wipe: system, data, cache, dalvik cache.

Flash the unofficial build.

Flash gapps from here

Please use the 'minimal' one since our system partition is not big enough to carry the 'full' one.

If you use slim gapps, the play store is not updateable to the latest one. If you need the latest one, you need to install it manually, but only the play store, not the whole gapps.

Coming from previous unofficial build:

Wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Flash the unofficial build.

No need to re-flash gapps. Gapps will be restored back automatically by backup tool during flashing.

Another version of full wipe/dirty flashing from Hopper8

Known Issues

Latest Google Drive is crashing. You need an earlier version of Google Drive which is still working.

Occasional hot reboot while uninstalling apps

SlimKernel

Compiled with SaberMod 4.9.1
