ROMS: ROM, which stands for read only memory, for android is a customized version of the android operating system. A developer modified the original o.s. to make changes that add or change the way it
looks and feels
And you can think of the kernel as a "driver in a car". Main concerns for a kernel and what it does is how it performs on the device. Controls speed of the device which in turn effects battery life.

Each phone is a little different and we all use our phones differently. So a kernel and ROM combo that works great for me, may not work so well on your phone. You can mix and match pretty much any kernel/ROM and many of the ROM devs already have a custom kernel loaded in once you flash a new ROM.
Np. Glad to help.Quite the good read dezymond... I appreciate the heads up!!!
If you're interested in flashing a ROM and/or kernel head over to the ROM section. Be sure to check out our sister site too: Galaxy Nexus Forum - Samsung Galaxy Nexus Community
