New to Rooting.

How easy or hard is it to root with having no experience with this kind of stuff? Also I only want to root to increase my battery life and to take out the menu on screen buttons so I can have more view on the screen so would these reasons be a good example of trying to root? Thanks

If you can follow instructions then it is easy, even more simpler with a variety of toolkits out there. Nexus devices are virtually unbrickable unless you do something very very stupid. You should remember your warranty is void if you root but Google will have no way of finding out if you unroot and lock your bootloader again. Best thing to do is to gain knowledge about rooting etc, head over to the rooting, roms and hacks section and you should find all the info you need

Thanks a lot! Sorry if this is in the wrong section

The Nexus 4 is my first smartphone, and I found the instructions on this forum's sub-forum to be very easy to follow with regards to unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone:
