Download and install Android L preview version on Nexus 4


Google at I/O 2014 released a preview of Android L, its next major Android operating system version that brings a complete design makeover and a slew of new features. But the company only posted the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) Android L builds, leaving Android fans who own other Nexus devices waiting for official Android L ROMs that could be installed on the Nexus 4 smartphone or the older Nexus 7 (2012) and Nexus 10 tablets.

Note:- This is a port of a developer preview, there is already bugs in the offical version from google and without the L code, we can not fix Google's bugs. There are fixes to known problems in N7 2013 and N5 forums so if you do find them, please provide them with the bug
