ROM and Kernel help for newbie - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I just rooted my nexus yesterday, and I've decided to flash the KitKrazy ROM. I was wondering do I need to flash a kernel with the ROM or just flash the ROM by it's self.
Thanks for help guys.

What is "the right stuff" that you're looking for?
Also, why did you root the phone if you don't know what you want to gain from having root on it?
Now read... a lot, I did that. 2nd, I asked bunch of questions.... And after you do that get a custom ROM and flash it.

[Q] Stock Kernel With CM7

Hey,
Would it be possible to flash CM7 with the stock kernel on Xperia Arc S?
I want to try a new ROM but I'm not sure if you need another kernel than the stock. And I couldn't find any existing thread with this problem
(I have rooted it and an unlocked the bootloader)
I hope you can help me out
Bram
You need to flash the kernel of CM7 or any custom kernel that's compatible with CM7.
As FXP already stated in his thread:
FXP said:
HOWTO
to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)
step 2 - flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)

Yup, AOSP-based ROMs don't work with the stock kernel.
Okay thanks. And when I want to get back to my origional ROM (stock), I don't have to flash another kernel. Or do I have to change the kernel everytime I change the ROM? And what makes Doomkernel so special actually?

Some ROMs need specific kernels to work properly. Of course this doesn't necessarily mean that each time you change your rom, you will have to change your kernel as well. Most of the times, in the thread of each ROM you will find info on what kernel is needed each time.
I'm using DoomKernel because I'm very satisfied with its speed and its CWM recovery which is veeery helpful if you wanna try things on your phone!
I already use CWM. Isn't there a kernel that works with any ROM

Flashing kernel

Hi all,
Quick question. Is it possible to flash another kernel after you've used a ROM for some time? Or do you have te reflash the ROM as well and start from scratch?
thanks

You just need to flash the kernels boot.IMG then get into recovery and flash the modules.

You can flash a kernel at anytime you like to. No need to start ROM from scratch.
Just make sure to flash the modules that come with the kernel too.
thanks both! this thread can be closed
