[Q] [DOWNGRADE] Safe method to downgrade ?

have you ever tried to format dalvik cache?
I don't think it is possible if you directly do that thru custom rom. since you have the updated version of os. I think the best way is to turn back your os to 4.3 first then you can have your custom rom installed.
but lets just see what others can say about it. I also have this problem when I tried to revert back my os directly from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 using lewa os5.
Download and use the tool kit. It will guide you step by step. You can find it in the original development section.

I always use the recovery to downgrade, wiping data of course before flashing. The last downgrade that i've made was from 4.4 to 4.2.2 and i havent notice any issue after that...
Will my internal storage be wiped ?
Like my personal data ?
Yes everything will be wiped. Google automatically backups your calendar, emails, contacts, Wi-Fi passwords, bookmarks for Chrome. However, things like sms messages, pictures, save games, music, ringtones or any other type of files stored on the nexus 4 are not backed up automatically. Make sure to backup those manually by using a third party app or directly coping it to your computer.
