The advantages of root are the same as on your old device.
You can, there are a lot of tutorials around that show exactly how.
Through a custom recovery
Just disable root. Use search
Your a big boy (I suppose) use search and do some research.

Yes men, before i post this i search a find awsner´s , but in this forum are so many post´s of the same but with different awsner that i put my question here!
I wanna root my nexus 4 and try other ROM´s , but i don´t know if i after install a custom ROM and then flash the Stock again and for example, the Android 4.4 KitKat get´s release if i go check my update will be there for i update, you know what i mean ? can you awnser that for me please ?
But i will have some research, and thank you for your awsner and sorry for anything.
Just root it and play around with all the custom roms. The curiosity will eventually make you do it and if you end up not liking it u can always go back to stock.
Is there any way to change font style without rooting nexus 4? I'm really frustrated with this font style.! Please advise!

No, to install fonts you need to have access to the /system partition which you do not have unless you are rooted.
Rooting a nexus is very easy though.

Yes, you do. But with apps like titanium and carbon, you've got everything backed up. Everything else is synced with google. I don't find it too hard to do full wipes after the second time you do it.

Hello Guys,
I'm a new member here and i wanna know more about rooting and installing ROM on my X8, it is already rooted but i wanna know what on it and how to use my phone to the fullest
So guys can anyone please help me how to install the KERNEL on my phone, i am really confused about that because of the REQ, needed by some of the ROM's.
Please Help
(Assuming you know how to flash)If you want to install a kernel then get kernel manager lite. After that flash it. Once your phone reboots use whatever cpu app you use (I use cpu master) and you can overclock your phone to however much your kernelgoes up to. For installing a rom you must do the same thing but either donwload a rom from rom manager or download a rom on your pc and transfer it to your phone.

Hi I'm lipka and I'm new at this forum. As you know I have the Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 2 Gb. I have a few questions for you and I hope I can get an answer but when i do not get it and will be sad . I apologize in advance to maybe stupid questions that I will ask you once, but I will mention that I've never had a phone with Android operating system, and Y is the first device I also ask for your understanding. Even in advance sorry for my bad English but I'm from Europe (Poland) and I used google translator. Okay so let's start :
1) What is this whole "rooting phone", and upload it and what is "ROM"?
2) How to change software to the "newest"? (I have XXLE1 ( i have very much lags :/) and i want to change software)
3) How to upload the whole "ROM's" to my phone?
4) What is the best kernel to choose? I ask because there are literally a lot and I do not know which one to choose
5) Which "ROM" the most speed up my phone, improve his performance and will look the best of all ? Give me your's proposites
6) Is it true that the glass front of our very mobile draws after prolonged use?
And the last one: 7) Is the two gigabyte memory card good enough to me that I need to buy better?
From the top, thanks and Hello to all, because this is my first post on this forum
Welcome to xda
Rooting is gaining acess to your phones OS and being able to change it
Update your phones firmware like this settings>about phone>Software Update or maybe use odin
As for the roms i heard hyperion is the best but you might want to install supercharger
Installing a rom is easy peasy you go in the recovery when you turn off the phonr. Ita power+volume up+home key buttons ... Hold them until the logo dissapears. And voula your in the recovery.
P.s you might want to check the sticky general section basic sgy topics

As CALIBAN666 said, test all of them. They are all used for some particular purpose or other, so you never know which one you might end up liking. Go through their features first.
And about the first post, those were stupid questions. But it dosen't matter to us as new users always come here and we welcome them. What bothers us that threads like this one are created again and again. That's why we advise new users to read the stickies of the forum and search before posting.

And I'm happy with it. You can try it too.

Hi, my Nexus 4 is coming (Hallelujah)...
So I have around 2 weeks to find more informations about customizing the Nexus 4.. the only thing which is interesting me (for the moment..) is to customize the Navigation Bar (waste of place ^^).
I found this which look awesome, called "PIE" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020336
But I heard about modifying a lot of other things, such as bootloader, kernel etc... but I don't know a lot about these things... it's worth it for me to learn ? if yes, why ? I realy want a stable thing
By the way, what happen if I brick my Nexus 4 ? Google would say me to put my **** in my ass ?
Is there somewhere in the forum a good guide which say "what to do" with the Nexus 4 ?
Thanks !

Bahahaha! Best thing I've read all day.
It is very worth it to learn. The only ways to get a true hard brick that I know of are a) hardware failure, b) corrupted/improperly flashed bootloader c) corrupted/improperly flashed modem.
Avoid b and c and you'll be OK.
Pie comes with the newer builds of ParanoidAndroid. A less developed version of it is built into LMT Launcher. Both are great.

Thanks you very much for your reply, but what do you mean by "b and c" ? ^^

If your reading comprehension in English is that bad, maybe you should hold off on rooting your phone, unless you find guides in your native language. I'm being serious. Make SURE you understand the steps in the guides you follow. Don't just jump in blindly.
I listed three things that could cause a hard brick and labeled them "a," "b" and "c."
Edit: Haha. OK, good. :thumbup:
Hi,
He mean that you try to flash a non Nexus 4 or flash a file corruped during the download (check the md5 to avoid that) kernel (b) and radio (c).
To use PIE (included in PA or RootBox) check that to keep the status bar : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129209
We are here to help you, just ask !
