Compile Xperia Z ROM with Linaro including O3 strict-aliasing optimizations

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.

Xperia Z: Fidelity Z 5.0 – Some ‘Honami’ stuff and X-Reality Engine for Mobile

Sorry for long delay after Xperia Z 4.2.2 ROM released for a while. I was busy with Thailand Audio/Video Show 2013 event and it just ended yesterday. This version now supports Xperia Z 4.2.2 stock ROM and added some improvements and optimizations based on recent updates from Sony and AOSP source. At first I intended to add and update some leaked Honami features but they’re for deodexed ROM so I decided to play safe for now.

Xperia Z: Cyanogenmod 10.1 – Fidelity Edition build 20130706

It’s been a while waiting for jeroenqui rebuilding his kernel repository so I can cherry pick his patches into latest CM kernel. This version comes with great deal of improvements and optimizations besides updating Cyanogenmod. I added Linaro cortex string handling routines optimizations in bionic optimizations and improved audio optimizations down to kernel level. Try it and be amazed of what Xperia Z is really capable of.

Xperia Z: Fidelity Z 4.0 – Biggest improvements for all Xperia Z ROMs

It took me a long while after making tons of optimizations and tests. Version 4.0 will support virtually any ROMs as I tested on stock/CM10.1/AOKP/ParanoidAndroid/Carbon and they all worked fine. Now I moved to CM10.1 ROM as there’s more to play with there with bunch of compiling and optimizations. I’ll release my own CM ROM to be used with this soon and then I’ll fully shift my focus on Windows 8’s Mountain Lion project.
