[KERNEL][4.2/4.2.1] Stock kernel - CWM flashable

I've been playing with a few of the kernels available for 4.2.x so far and wanted to get back to the stock kernel in between testing kernels out. Also good for those who may have accidentally flashed a 4.1.2 kernel. This is a flashable CWM 4.2 Galaxy Nexus JOP40C kernel. Tested and working on my stock/rooted 4.2/4.2.1 GNex. As always, flash at your own risk.
Thanks to kalo86 for providing the AOSP ROM 4.2 zip where the boot image came from. :good:

Thank you. This is definitely very helpful for people like me who aren't aware that custom kernel wouldn't be backwards compatible.
However, I'm using nexus 7, just wondering how could I extract the stock kernel from the nexus 7 factory image?
(I understand that this isn't a nexus 7 post but I'm just asking a general question on how to get the stock kernel hope that's ok)
I assume this kernel wouldn't work for my device either?
Thanks in advance.

Good question. I will create a stock kernel flash for the Nexus 7 (as I have one as well) and post it up there in the N7 XDA forum.
Also, the kernel is the boot.img file located in the zip for ROMs. You can fastboot install it, or make it into a CWM file which is good in case you don't have a computer with ADB nearby. Link to N7 Stock kernel:

Thanks!
Thank you for ur reply. Definitely gonna save me lots of time!
How do you make it a cwm file? Just zipping the .img file?
Also, I can't seems to boot into cwm recovery without a toolkit is that normal for installing an incorrect custom kernel?

Boot up holding all the buttons to get into recovery. Then flash.
Google for the cyanogenmod walkthrough on how to make a kernel flash. Its a bit in depth for here. Good luck!

Android 4.2.2
Is this kernel compatible with stock Android 4.2.2?
Not sure actually. Hopefully someone can test it out as I no longer have a GNex.

Better not flash it as 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 kernels are not compatible with each other.

The title of this thread states 4.2/4.21, so my guess would be no on 4.1.2

Gapps update

Hello,
I am using Cynogenmod 10 and I recently downloaded the newest Gapps to update my existing ones. My question is:
Can I just flash the newest Gapps? If not, what would the process be?
Thank you very much!

I believe you just have to delete cache and wipe dalvik and install the new gapps.
Make sure Gapps is for JB 4.1.2 and not 4.2.1. CM10 is still on 4.1.2. unless you are running the unofficial 10.1 rom.
Edit** 10.1 Nightlies are now rolling out. So flash 4.2 Gapps if you are planning on running it

Pacman ROM

Hi guys,
Can you guys give me a direct link to downloading the latest version of pacman rom for the galaxy nexus on android 4.3? Thanks

As you requested, this is the latest available nightly on BasketBuild. Nightlies aren't stable (especially for PACman) so actually you shouldn't want them at all.
And you have hours of patience waiting for a spoon-fed answer but don't have the 10-minute patience searching for the links in the Dev subforum? Come on man, this is XDA - help yourself next time

My phone isn't able to flash the ROM. Do I need to do a factory reset then flash?

1) You have a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP), right? Stock recovery doesn't flash custom ROMs.
2) What error does it give? Details needed.

And to add to that, make a back up in cwm/twrp, then wipe, then flash rom+gapps. The latest nightly of pacman was uploaded to the pacman site last night and appears to be running really well compared to the 10/7 release. It is also android 4.3.1
It tries to flash the rom then it just stops in the first half second of the flash and says error.

[Q] WiFi won't turn on after update and franco.kernel

Earlier today I updated my rooted nexus 7 (2013) from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3, and then to 4.4.4 using the method described in this article
nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/update-your-rooted-nexus-android-4-4-4-without-losing-any-data-update-0155334
It seemed that everything went perfectly. Then I changed to franco.kernel r16. I'm not sure if it was before or after I changed my kernel, but now my WiFi will not turn on! I go into settings and flick the switch to turn it on, but it just stays grey and gets stuck if I don't close out of settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Had the same problem, and I found out my kernel was for 4.4.2 and I was running a custom ROM 4.4.3...
That was my problem but I hope it helps

Nexus 7 (LTE) 4.4.4 stock flashable rom

Is anyone going to make a flashable ROM of the stock 4.4.4 image for the LTE Nexus 7 ? I noticed there was never one for the 4.4.3 ROM either.

Google already did. Flashing it manually doesn't take any more time than flashing in recovery.

They did support it. You can either be patient or you can do it manually to avoid waiting.
A deodex stock ROM would be great. I don't have time nor build environment to make my own
