I have tried a few and XYLON gets my vote. Paranoid Android is good too with the PIE controls but they have now been ported to XYLON too.

Both are the best I think as you can easily get rid of the nav and status bars and use the phone with its full 4.7 display using PIE controls instead of nav bars.

Paranoid is based on stock rom and XYLON has bits of the other roms that have been re written by devs like Cyanogen and AOKP etc.

Try those two for a start and take it from there.

To root first thing you need to do is unlock bootloader which wipes device. Best to do that first thing then it wont need to happen again unless you have to sell it factory fresh or send to repairs. Reversing it is easy also.

Look for nexus 4 toolkit in XDA.

Good luck.

Thanks.

My next question is when you install roms and I bet I will be trying a few to find the right one for me......do I loose all my data every time I install a custom rom?
Or do you just install the rom and all user/app data is there and you can use your phone like you did before installing the rom?

The phone will be rooted as soon as I do anything. I mean after That when I start messing about installing roms.

I'm thinking of getting a Nillkin flip case. But I'm going to do some more looking around before hitting the buy button.
 
thanks.. i ordered a cheap one from amazon for the time being.. will get a proper case when better ones get released.. hopefully case-mate will release some for the nexus 4 soon.

Anyone cut their sim into microsim?

Mine's arrived but the wifi doesn't work properly. :(

It connects and I can use the internet for about 10 seconds and then it grinds to a halt (although I still have a good signal from the AP).

Another update:

I took it home and it worked with my home wifi. I guess it's just not compatible with any of my companies 3 access points!

Hopefully they'll improve compatibility in the next update.
 
Google suck really, Order a 16gb on the 30th at 3.02pm and still pending, friend at work ordered only yesterday and he's order just got delivered. Way to gain customer satisfaction GOOGLE!!
 
I just tried to cancel my Nexus 4 order but got an e-mail saying

Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.

Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window. There are a couple of options now:

Does this mean it's been shipped? Haven't got a shipping e-mail and google wallet still says pending.

Thanks

Any ideas what that means? Can't check if the money has gone until I get home.
