i have curiosity for battery life and daily use..
Running 18.1 on such an old phone can be noticeably slow in some cases, but for what it is it works surprisingly well.
Hard to comment on battery especially with how aged the one I have is, but there shouldn't any added drain.
Make a backup and give it a spin.
I suggest whether you can add the volume +/- key to wake up the screen. Because the machine is old, my N4 power button is starting to weaken. Although it can be used now, it often takes three or four times to be effective. Some programs in the application market can do this function, but most of them are very power-hungry......
That is already supported!I suggest whether you can add the volume +/- key to wake up the screen. Because the machine is old, my N4 power button is starting to weaken.

Hi guys,
my 3-buttons bar (Android Navigation Bar) isn't working. None of these buttons (Back, Home, Overview) works when I touch them. They never works: if I reboot phone, as soon as the Nexus 4 is ready for use, 3-buttons bar is already not working. I tried several things, including a full wipe and also install two different DivestOS version (a version from months ago, and the latest one; Feb 2023). I never install GApps or nothing but DivestOS only. I didn't install any apps from any site. I just perform a full wipe and 3-buttons bar isn't working during first setup, even. Let me point out that it should be a software issue because 3-buttons bar does works when I'm in recovery mode. Isn't a hardware issue. Even more: when system is up, it detect my touches in the lowest part of the screen (e.g. scroll up touching the lowest screen part). Any advice?
Thanks in advance.

it is sadly a hardware issue as far as I am aware.
I happen to have 6 of these makos: I have this issue on one of my mako's and starting on another, but identical install working fine on others.
3-buttons bar isn't working in the latest (?) official LOS 15.1 either. I just tested it. How weird is this.

I suspect when the system really boots, not the recovery, whatever touchscreen firmware from /system/vendor gets fully loaded is activated that it enables some error compensation that just starts ignoring the input from the faulty part entirely.
You probably have a deadzone at the bottom of your mako. I have the same problem on my mako.
I've addressed this by using adb overscan to crop the bottom of the screen, however adb overscan only works on Android 10. If you're using Android 11 and up, you can try adb size to resize the screen, but that centers the resize, which is annoying when swiping down from the top of the screen to view notifications.

1. It is not recommended to use TWRP with DivestOS, except for a select few devices. You are intended to use the DivestOS recovery.
2. That is expected, it is a known issue. It occurs due to the modem failing to start after the data partition is encrypted for the first time. The workaround is to wait 5 minutes on the very first boot, power it off, then reboot it. All should be OK after.1
1. Yes for the 17.1 build, there is however a 16.0 and 15.1 build available that doesn't need repartitioning.
2. No, DivestOS is *always* enforcing. DivestOS will never ever release a build with permissive SELinux.
3. Yes, DivestOS offers OTA updates for every device since 2017/05/30.
4. When the phone is asleep, no. When the phone is powered off, no.
mako was my daily driver for all of 2019, it was a solid experience despite the age of the hardware.1I'm not sure about @voron00 's reasoning to not make 17.1 builds.
But DivestOS 17.1, based on their sources has been fully functional by my standards for nearly a year now.
