so now i want to root my nexus 4, and get the best 4.4.2 rom out there to the nexus 4
What i seek to know:
1.so my first question: what is the best method to root my nexus 4? i heard about downloading "towelroot" thing, and then from the market "bootlocker unlock for nexus devices". ( i dont have any previous knowledge on rooting or into android things. im kinda new in it)
but, i also saw on youtube that some guy rooted he's nexus 4 throught a computer and it looks much more complicated.
