Hi nexus 4 owners, welcome to SaberMod!
I built this ROM from AOSP source and added 40+ Linaro patches to the source for strict-aliasing compiler optimizations. Roms include Linaro string handling routines for memory optimizations. No android kitchens were used to make this rom at all, everything is source build
All ROMs and kernels are built with SaberMod toolchains. The ROMs are built with GCC 4.9 toolchains. Kernels are built with GCC 4.8 toolchains.
Instructions:
First time flashing this ROM on your Nexus 4, or coming from another ROM?
Root the device and install ClockworkMod or TWRP Recovery.
Place all zips on internal storage
Boot into recovery
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
Perform a data factory reset/wipe (Do not format data in twrp recovery!)
Flash ROM.
Flash Gapps package (optional)
Flashing a newer version?
Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
Wipe cache and dalvik-cache in recovery
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps package (optional)
A few notes on battery/charging
After flashing ROM and/or kernel you may get some battery drain. Give the device time to settle into the ROM/kernel, and after a full charge or two you should notice improved battery life.
Flashing a Testing kernel?
I've decided to add testing kernels which will allow users to try-out a newer kernel version and give their feedback on it before I include it in new ROM versions. This also allows me to just update kernels without having to update the entire ROM, when there is no ROM changes from one version to the next. I will include them as attachments.
Reboot your device into recovery
Flash the flashable zip in recovery
Done

FAQ
SaberMod is a AOSP based ROM with some extra features added in and mostly from CyanogenMod. SaberMod started out pure AOSP when android 4.2.1 launched. Originally it was pure AOSP with a few extra features I ported over from CyanogeMod and linaro optimizations. Then I rebased everything off of rasbeanjelly because I liked many features found in rasbean. Since then I've modified a lot of the code so not much of it is rasbeanjelly based anymore. But you will still find some commonly used features found in rasbeanjelly. SaberMod is not a rasbeanjelly or CM clone, or KANG. Custom kernels are included for certain devices when available. These are personal builds we make for ourselves and originally became very popular in the nexus 7 forums. Features are very rarely added, and are built to SaberMod's team members liking. Currently there are two members of SaberMod working on this project. Myself and @jarjar124 . Please understand our time is limited and we are only two people who have lives, and do not have 25-50 members like CyanogenMod to add things. And our goal is not to add a bunch of features that bloat the system of the ROM.
Q "Does this ROM have such and such feature?
A "Did you read the first post? Most if not all features are listed in the OP. If you find a feature not listed, tell us and we will add it. Yes, sometimes we miss things."
Q "Very nice ROM, but... Can you add such and such feature?"
A "Depends on a few things, if we think it is a feature we want in the ROM and how easy it is to implement into SaberMod. If you get ignored it's because we're undecided, nothing personal."
Q "I keep asking over and over again if such and such feature can be added but my questions keep getting ignored, why?"
A "Probably because your asking a question that's already been answered, and a simple thread search can answer for you. Either that or we are undecided about it."
Q "I reported a bug but my post gets ignored, why?"
A "Either it's not a bug or you provided no information such as a logcat that has the correct information in it needed to find a possible fix or solution."
Q "I have some problems but I'm using another kernel. Can you fix?"
A "If you think it's a ROM issue state so. If your not sure post a logcat. Don't post last_kmsg for other kernels, cause we can't help"
Q "I think I'm having a problem with the kernel, and I need a fix ASAP!"
A "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg or it never happened and your post will be ignored."
Q "Can I build SaberMod from source code on Linux?"
A "Yes, it is encouraged, machine setup instructions are as follows. SaberMod builds with the latest version of Ubuntu 13.04 and java 7 or java 6 (either one)
Set up your build envirnoment: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35338419&postcount=1
Skip the part that installs java 6 if you want to install java 7 instead.
If you want to install java 7 go here: http://openjdk.java.net/install/
Code:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jdk
Downloading the source
Code:
mkdir -p ~/android/SaberMod && cd ~/android/SaberMod;
repo init -u https://github.com/SaberMod/android.git -b sm-jb-mr1
repo sync
bash sm-mako
Follow the script instructions for building and make your selections on how you want to build your ROM.
Q "What if I have trouble building or I'm confused on the instructions, can I post questions in this thread for help?"
A "Yes it's encouraged and discussing it might help others."
Q "There's some things in the ROMs that are not in my language, can you please translate?"
A "We can not translate currently, but if you want to help translate parts of the ROM that are only in English contact us and we will try."

I'm running your builds since a couple of days now. Everything is fine
One bug: long press on WiFi toggle toggles WiFi on/off and doesn't lead to settings.

maybe i missed something, but as far as i remember long press on wifi toggle is only to switch it on/off. but quick press on it will lead you to settings. and yes, it does not work in here
@OP, is the new 4.8 kernel working now?

I could live with that, but both - long and short press - just toggle WiFi on/off.

Your right I don't toggle much but it's not working on my nexus 7 either. Another thing I overlooked when merging 4.2.2. Rascarlo ported all the quicksettings features in 4.2.1 so I'll take a look at his github and it should be easy to fix. Thanks for reporting.

Yes it's working. Something really silly I overlooked and showp1980 from bricked kernel helped me debug one issue. I will upload the kernel as a separate attachment shortly since it's not in the current Roms.

Old kernel do not flash

nice.
cant wait for your new build !
my gallery crash . maybe because i use banks gapps.

---

Looking forward to testing this!

Re: [ROM][4.2.2-JDQ39][AOSP][LINARO][SaberMod-toolchain-4.8]OFFICIAL SaberMod
Tile toggles are fixed now. I had to implement a temporary solution for WiFi and Bluetooth tiles. Click takes you to settings and long press to toggle. I'll start uploading the ROM to ROM manager. It will appear in the "all ROM manager builds" link in the first post. Also let me know how the kernel works.
