Stock 4.3 ROM for Nexus 4 - Rooted! [Official Release]

Check Out The Video!

Google recently had an event where they released Android version 4.3. Even though I was expecting it to be version 4.3 and Jelly Bean it wouldn't hurt to hope for a Key Lime Pie Android release. Instead of unrooting your device, upgrading to Android 4.3, and then rooting your phone again. You can easily just flash this stock 4.3 ROM on your Nexus 4 device.

This ROM is completely stock, comes deodexed, and rooted (see down below for direction on rooting). The Android 4.3 ROM doesn't have a lot of visual changes, but more changes "under the hood". With this Android version your going to be able to get better battery life, performance, and stability.

The only visual change I could see is the slightly changed interface of the camera app. Everything else seems to be the same, no not even any new wallpapers.

Download the stock 4.3 ROM using the link below!

3. Flash ROM
4. Reboot your phone.
5. Download this SuperSu zip file to your phone.
6. Enter into CWM/TWRP and flash the downloaded zip file.
7. Reboot your phone, if you asked to "Disable Recovery" choose "No".

MIUI ROM Review for Nexus 4! Working LTE + Themes

Check Out The Video!

MIUI ROM for the Nexus 4 is one of my most favorite ROMS because of how the MIUI team has completely changed the look of the UI until you can't even tell if it's running on Android or not. MIUI ROM completely changes the look and functionality like no other ROM you have ever seen before!

When you first install the ROM you get a completely different lockscreen and when you double tap the middle of the lockscreen your music play options show up. After passing the lockscreen all the icons are completely themed and there is no app drawer, all your apps are on your homescreen. 


With this ROM you also get 100's of themes you can apply to your phone. Some of the these themes cost money but even the free themes are nice! All your toggles, settings, and many apps are themed and make your Android phone look completely designed!
