I'm sorry I made a mistake. For me both circle charging animations work fine and battery bar charging animation, but not percentage (non circle) or stock battery icon.

Weird. I tested again and sparksco's right. The circle animations work but the the stock icon still doesn't :eek:

Either way, its not a big deal to me.

Yeah it's not big deal to me either. What I normally do is hide the stock battery icon and use battery bar with charging animation.

But it's good to know its a ROM bug and not device specific.

Forgot to respond to you (thanks @sparksco) I'll post screenshots once I'm home which will be Monday. I'll be in NJ for the weekend for a BBQ with family.

Oh don't worry about it, I flashed it and this is exactly what I was looking for.

And hey if sparky decides to change the navigation bar, please leave an option to use the current settings too.

Thanks

Android myth busters informative information:

The increase in performance causing more battery drain is a myth. Of course it really depends on how performance is increased.

Take for instance if you overclock your CPU, minimum and maximum frequencies, then run a benchmark, is that really increasing performance? No not really. It's ramping up your CPU which can be very stressful on your hardware. It also decreases the life of your device.

Benchmarks apps are a complete joke, but some people swear up and down by them. Benchmarks apps are pushing buzzwords. Great for testing hardware, but software, nope. There's a lot of pieces in the software that don't produce a output for benchmark apps to read. Therefore, the benchmark apps are very limited in what they can test in real time usage. A real benchmark (not like the apps on the market), takes hours of testing in real time conditions.

Lag and stuttering also cause strain on your device and decrease battery life.

So by increasing real time usage, your actually extending the life of your device, as well as battery life. It's like giving you device a breath of fresh air.

A good source article read:

Just wanted to chime in and say this rom is awesome. I've come to only run roms that are compiled with Linaro, and the performance increase alone is enough reason to. My tablet runs completely smooth now.

The only thing is I'd like to have customizable quick tiles. But the main ones that I need are there, so it's a non-issue.

Thanks for this rom!

I'm not hardcore, but i change ROM now and again. It's time to test this one as it's looks great from what you others are saying =)

    Hi nexus 10 owners, welcome to SaberMod!

    Sparksco 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.
    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.

    I will let you know how's the battery

    Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app

    I was going to put up a new kernel today that should be a little more battery friendly but I'll let @jarjar124 test the source first though cause I added user voltage control. Not sure how well it works yet.

    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. @sparksco 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://xdaforums.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-manta
    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."[/QUOTE]
