[ROM] [JDQ39E] [AOSP] [Linaro] [SM-TOOLCHAIN - 4.9.0,] 4.2.2 SaberMod

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?

1. Root the device and install ClockworkMod or TWRP Recovery.
2. Place all zips on internal storage
3. Boot into recovery
4. Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
5. Perform a data factory reset/wipe (Do not format data in twrp recovery!)
6. Flash ROM.
7. Flash Gapps package (optional)

Flashing a newer version?

1. Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.
2. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache in recovery
3. Flash ROM
4. 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.

1. Reboot your device into recovery
2. Flash the flashable zip in recovery
3. Done
