Hey, I'm new here and sorry for my bad English.
I want to Root my nexus 4 and as i have never used any ROM's, I want to ask couple questions.
Which ROM should i use?
I need a simple one because i don't need a fancy one because i wont use all of it features and stuff. I just need it to use couple programs that requires Rooted Phone.
So which ROM to use that wont kill my battery fast?
also someone told me that some ROM's keep nattery life bettet then non touched phone. Is that true?
Thanks in advance for your Help.
Cm10 would be a good one to start out with. Its very popular and quick and snappy. Used on many devices.

does root affect somehow on the battery life? does it make it better or worse?

If you want to improve your device's battery life, then you should flash a custom kernel FIRST instead of choosing a custom rom

I prefer AOKP based ROMs with cherry picked CM features.
I don't like the battery icon options for AOKP though as CM percent Icon looks much nicer.

Try carbon. Carbon has the most amount of customizations with picks from cm aokp and has halo in the unofficial builds.

Simply rooting a device doesn't affect battery life. Rooting allows administrative rights to the device. That's it.

You don't need a kernel or ROM to root your phone. Most ROMs come with root. You need an unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery to root.

First you install adb platform-tools, unlock the bootloader and then inject superSU (root). Best way to unlock and root is to use CF-Auto Root imo, link http://download.chainfire.eu/297/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4.zip. Tutorial by efrant http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312&highlight=efrant.
Read up first about adb, rooting, kernels and custom roms before you kill your phone. Stock isn`t bad at all and learn about your phone .
Running 4.3 stock and every time I try a different kernel I get horrible screen flicker how do It to run smoothly like stock kernel

What kernel are you using, including version number? For now it might help to disable hw overlays in developer options.

From semaphore kernel op:
1.5.0 (26/07/2013)
- Rebased on JB 4.3 (JWR66V) kernel. It should be used only on stock JWR66V.
Are you using a JSS15J build of 4.3? If so, that is your problem. Check Settings - About phone.

And how come I can't install a franco kernel on 10.2? Every time I try it restarts like it should but it keeps the cyanogenmod kernel.
I'm not insulting your intelligence, but are you sure you're flashing it? What recovery are you using? Which Franco version? JSS? Which nightly. I'd like to help but I need more info
The Franco kernel app flashes it...I have no problem on paranoid android doing the exact same thing.

Is there any way to s2w on a nexus 7 without flashing a new kernel? I currently use franco.
I don't think Franco kernel supports s2w. You will need to flash other kernel like m-kernel

Isn't three a patch that I can flash on top of the Franco's kernel to get s2w support?
