Nexus 4 ROM: Paranoid SaberDroid ROM review

Paranoid SaberDroid is based on KitKat 4.4.2 for the Nexus 4. Don’t get fooled by the name it isn’t developed by the ParanoidAndroid team, but includes some of the features that are included in many ParanoidAndroid ROM builds. some of the main   

Features included in this ROM are the following:

All features PA 4.0 currently has (no Halo; no Pie; no hybrid Settings!)

Lockscreen Notifications-Manage your Notifications directly on your lockscreen! It also includes pocket mode and some other very helpful features.

Lockscreen Blur

Recents RAM Bar

Custom System Animations

Network traffic Meter

Immersive Mode

Volume essential Cursor Control

And much more!

One of the features that I delighted in many of this ROM was the immersive mode. Immersive mode is just essentially PIE but a lot cleaner and responsive. instead of the control wheel that you had to touch on the side of the screen to exit an app etc. you just swipe up on the status bar and it reveals the transparent navigation and status bars. another neat feature that this ROM includes is the transparent lock screen- It isn’t fully transparent however can be blurred to a certain degree, this feature just makes the device looks a lot much more spectacular especially if you have the best wallpaper.

Battery Life

In terms of battery life this rom did well as expected with franco kernel. I got about 10 hours and 15 minutes, and 3 hours and 15 minutes on screen time.

NOTE: Franco kernel does not come with this rom but can be downloaded from the Play Store.

Just go to playstore and type in franco kernel and downlaod the app and install the kernel.
