You should definitely switch your device over to the UBports version of Ubuntu Touch. Even though now updates are published for the 15.04 packages, some important security patches were backported, and all the package sources are changed to old-releases.ubuntu.com in OTA-3, so you can still install packages. A new version of Ubuntu Touch based on 16.04 is also in development and the Nexus 4 will be supported.
To switch to UBports' version of the Operating System, use the UBports Installer. Select the 15.04/stable channel and make sure not to tick the "Wipe" box to keep the data in your home folder. Your root-filesystem will be reset though, so any deb packages you installed before you will have to install again. In the future, you might want to use OTR.
