haha thanks bro..

Anyone using PSX Rom v8? My Wifi Nexus 7 having problem with Chrome auto close.. Just wanna check who else have the same problem...

The remedy is greenify...damn then I need to root my nexus already. Any other similar like greenify that doesn't require root?

Remove the app..

Just got my N7 32gb WiFi only. Loving it

Hana...just unlock bootloader, root & install twrp recovery....benny which custom ROM r u using now? Just put the zip file in root storage & use twrp to flash?

Yes just put the ROM zip in your phone storage and reboot to recovery to install.

hey terence bro, i'm bit confused btwn custom rom and custom kernel. if i want to install elementalX, will it consider a custom rom? Btw which rom r u on now? your nexus also LTE ver?

im on PSX rom v8 last week and it is buggy, chrome always crashes and it is a known issue at xda. i suggest you switch to carbon rom atm. i find it the most stable without issues. even PA rom also crashes at times.

What ROM is better than stock ROM? And battery life is better?

My favorite rom is Carbon or CleanRom coupled with elementalX kernel. Test yourself to find which one suits you better

Custom ROM always comes with their own kernel with some tweaks to improve the performance, but most of them are fixed and not suitable to change the settings according to your need. Independent custom kernel is a small zip, normally below 10MB, it doesn't have ROM with it but it comes with more customizations such as processor overclocking, gpu overclockling, undervolting, fastcharge support etc. You can override your current kernel by flashing custom kernel in recovery, same process as flashing custom ROM, use Trickster Mod app in Google Play to change the settings of the custom kernel after flashing.

I am using WiFi model only and on PA ROM since first day I got it, it's my favorite ROM since the old Nexus 7, but it is not out yet for LTE version.

Edit: You can install custom kernel on stock ROM too if it is based on aosp code, so custom kernel is not for custom ROM only.
There are many ROMs that provide more custom features compared to stock ROM, you need to try yourself to see what features you need. Regarding the battery life, you can try to install custom kernel which has more battery tweaking features than stock kernel.

Edit: If you want to keep stock ROM or any current ROM, you can use multiboot solution i.e. MultiROM, you can have few different ROMs and test them out one by one without removing your main ROM

Any compatibility issue when flashing / coupling different ROM and kernel... Can we even run aosp ROM with custom kernel ?

Sorry for noon question

First check if the kernel is compatible with your current ROM, if you are using aosp ROM, then it shouldn't have any problem with aosp kernel, if you are using CM or AOKP which both of them are using caf, then you cannot use aosp kernel on them else you will stuck in bootloader or even a blue screen. Always make a nandroid backup first before flashing any kernel so you can restore it when you have done something wrong.
