Flash / Install CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly On Nexus 4 Based On Android 4.2

Posted on the 01 December 2012 by Skateroren @ProgramsAlive
Requirements
  • Rooted Nexus 4 with CWM recovery
  • CM10 Nightly Package ZIP
  • Google Apps for Android 4.2
  • At least 50% or more battery charge left
ADB is not a requirement for this, but it’s good to have it installed on your computer, just in case you need to revert back. Also, we recommend taking a Nandroid backup of your current configuration, just in case. You can download the aforementioned files from CyanogenMod.com.
