If you have just bought Nexus 4 from Playstore then you need to unlock the bootloader first if you want to customize it, you can find the tutorial on this post. The procedure is quite similar with previous Nexus device, and requires that you have PC or laptop have installed android SDK, and correctly installed USB drivers for the Nexus 4.
The new Nexus 4 is pushed by the last generation of processors of Qualcomm quadcore at a frequency of 1.5 GHz and supported by excellent 320 Adreno graphics processor. Also perfect for play, except for the basic version comes with 8 GB of internal memory is not expandable. Though for many this may be more than enough, thanks to the many available cloud services, the same does not apply to anyone who stores a lot of music, photos and, as said before, games.
Equipped with Good 8 megapixel camera, and even with the power of the speaker, although when the phone is placed on a surface is heavily muffled volume. Ok now lets continue to the Nexus 4 unlock bootloader process

If you want to relock the bootloader its easy just change the fastboot oem unlock to : fastboot oem lock.
Needless to remind you that unlocking the bootloader will void warranty officially. Done so at your own risk.
