First of all, many thanks to @trailblazerz11 for bringing full Linaro ROM to our fellow S4 Pro devices like Nexus 4 with resourceful build guide. This guide is based on his repository with my own fixes that needed to be done outside his repository. This works fine on CM10.1 and should also work on AOSP as well with manual fixes applied. As current AOSP being incompetent, I’ll leave that until it actually works without relying on CM10.1 patches.
UPDATE #1: CM10.1 has changed build configuration to use qcom_media-caf instead so I fixed instructions and change stuff for default CM10.1 environment.
UPDATE #2: I added Linaro cortex string handling routines optimizations in bionic for armv7 neon architecture so Snapdragon S4 Pro can be even smoother with this.
Features
1. Replace stock kernel and recovery with @DooMLoRD‘s DooMKernel tweaks applied kernel by @jeroenqui and TWRP recovery. (Optional)
2. Replace Google Toolchain with Linaro Toolchain 4.8 15.03
3. Apply build configuration with Linaro suggested optimizations “-O3 -fmodulo-sched -fmodulo-sched-allow-regmoves -fstrict-aliasing -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -Werror=strict-aliasing”
4. Fix codes breaking strict aliasing rules
5. Comes in form of automate shell script, the easiest Linaro build guide EVER
Requirements:
1. CM10.1 build environment – You can check on Build for yuga wiki for detailed instructions.
2. Oracle Java – Skip OpenJDK in wiki and install better ones from this link including adb and fastboot.
3. You need to install additional packages for compiling Yuga kernel. Type “sudo apt-get install lzop ccache” so that build kernel won’t break mid-way.
4. Make sure your default compiled ROM works without trouble as I got boot problems before and thought Linaro messed it.
Instructions:
1. Open terminal and go to your Android git repository.
2. (Optional) Modify local manifests for jeroenqui’s kernel and TWRP by typing “gedit .repo/local_manifests/roomservice.xml” and hit enter. Replace contents inside with this ones and save then exit.
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <manifest> <project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_yuga" path="device/sony/yuga" remote="github" /> <project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_common" path="device/sony/common" remote="github" /> <project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_qcom-common" path="device/sony/qcom-common" remote="github" /> <project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_fusion3-common" path="device/sony/fusion3-common" remote="github" /> <project name="CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_FMRadio" path="packages/apps/FmRadio" remote="github" /> <project name="CyanogenMod/android_hardware_sony_DASH" path="hardware/sony/DASH" remote="github" /> <project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_sony" path="vendor/sony" remote="github" /> <project name="jeroenqui/android_kernel_sony_apq8064" path="kernel/sony/apq8064" remote="github" /> <remove-project name="CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery" /> <project name="TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project.git" path="bootable/recovery" remote="github" revision="twrp2.5"/> </manifest>
You can skip this step and stick with default CM10.1 stuff without adjusting linaro patch later yourself to fix build problems.
3. Make linaro patch script by typing “gedit linaro_patch.sh” and hit enter. Put contents inside with this ones and save then exit.

This will replace Google Toolchain with Linaro ones and patch build configuration and codes that break strict aliasing rules.
4. Make Linaro patch executable by typing “chmod a+x linaro_patch.sh” and enter.
5. Re-sync again by typing “repo sync” and enter.
6. Apply Linaro patches by typing “./linaro_patch.sh” and enter. All should goes well but keep your eyes on each patch and see if there’s anything failed to cherry-pick or not. Fix those failed to cherry-pick yourself and move on.
7. Reload build configuration by typing “source build/envsetup.sh” and enter.
8. Your ROM is ready be cooked with Linaro now. Build it with whatever method you prefer and enjoy.
