ParanoidAndroid ROM

[Ajay Prakash]

Hi,

I'm very new to Android. I wish to install paranoid custom ROM on my nexus 4. I've got the step by step instructions with the first step being installing clockworkmod. I just wanted to check if it is essential to root the phone before installing clockworkmod or it is not required.

If there are any step by step clear instructions that list out all steps for a brand new phone, please point me towards it.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums!
I am mostly certain you need to root the Nexus as well. Root, flash ClockworkMod, then install Paranoid. AS for specific instructions, I do not know them.

Technically, as long as you have a custom recovery installed you do not need root, as flashing paranoid android will root your device. Although flashing a custom recovery to your device does (in most cases) require root access first.
