• Your device should already be rooted.
• Your device's warranty will be nullified for flashing this modified ROM.
• CM14 doesn't include Google apps therefore we will need to install Google apps separately.
• Enable USB debugging mode of your Nexus 4 first.

• You need to charge your battery power first if it's low.

Download these files to your computer.
