[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
OK so before we start let me make something abundantly clear, I am posting this up here on behalf of the Vanir AOSP team, as their ROM is awesome, and it took me longer than the first google to locate it etc etc. There is a link at the bottom of how to find them on G+ and communicate directly with the team. THIS POST ONLY TO CONVEY FILE LOCATIONS FOR OTHERS WHO WISH TO TRY THIS ROM. I will keep it uptodate so that anyone on the S3 can get to it.

Vanir was founded on the premise of performance tuning Android. It is based on AOSP, but include features (many of which have been rewritten to be more efficient) from other ROMs.

The webkit, chromium, and skia are aosp/master merged with codeaurora, with linaro fixes on top.

BY LINARO, it means "-O3 -fstrict-aliasing".... not just switching toolchains. At Team Vanir, THEY GO HARD.
