[GUIDE]Install Custom Kernel on Nexus 4


People often prefer using a Custom
Kernel rather than that already
delivered with the ROM. For the
available kernels, head over to Nexus 4
Original Development . Every
kernel is unique in its own terms, so
make a choice. If you’re not satisfied
with the combination, move on and try
some other kernel.

---------------------------------------------------

INSTRUCTIONS:-
1. Choose a custom Kernel and download
its flashable zip.
2. Connect your device to the PC via USB
data cable.
3. Transfer the Kernel flashable zip to the
device. Its is recommended to put the
file in the root of your device storage
for convenience.
4. Disconnect the device.
5. Power off. Press the Volume Down and
Power keys together to boot into the
Bootloader mode.
6. While on the Bootloader screen, use
the volume keys to highlight Recovery
mode and select it using the Power
button. Your device will then boot itself
into Recovery mode.

7.Flash using CWM
- Select " wipe cache partition"
- Tap on "advanced" and select " Wipe
Dalvik Cache "
- Tap on "install zip from sdcard" >
"choose zip from sdcard". Now browse
and select the kernel zip package that
you placed in your storage root during
step #3.
- Select " Yes " when prompted to start
the flashing process.
- Your Kernel will now flash to your OS
and replace your current kernel.
- When it has successfully flashed,
select " reboot system now".

8.Flash using TWRP
- Tap "Wipe " > "Advanced Wipe " and
tick " Dalvik Cache" & "Cache ".
- Slide the button at the end of the
screen to start the wiping process.
- Tap on "Install" > now browse and
select the kernel zip package that you
placed in your storage root during step
#3.
- Slide the button at the end of the
screen to start the flashing process.
- Your Kernel will now flash to your OS
and replace your current kernel.
- When it has successfully flashed, tap
to " Reboot " and select "System ".

You now have Custom Kernel installed
on your Nexus 4.

NOTE: Before choosing and flashing any
Custom Kernel, make sure its
compatible with your present Android
version.

I hope this guide has helped you. I
would be proud, if anyone has received
any kind of fruitful knowledge/guidance
from this.
