Sounds like you have some neat ideas to play with, no need to lock threads though.

Also make sure you get Titanium Backup, it's an essential tool when flashing ROMs. If you want to mess around with things, try out the app Tasker.

....It's not that hard to flash Xposed. How do you keep doing this?

There are several versions of Xposed, one for Android 4.4, 5.0/5.1, and 6.0. For each of those 3 versions, you have 3 for 32 bit, 64 bit, and Intel CPUs. All you have to do is flash the correct one in TWRP, and you will be fine. As long as you downloaded the right one, you can't have a problem...

crap, i installed it and it said the framework installed but was not active. my tablet was also running very slow. so i flashed the right uninstaller and it got stuck in a boot loop again. than i did the little adb trick and that failed. om twrp, i clicked shut down and it said there is no OS installed. i did make a flashable nandroid backup before this, should i flash that?

NO! Have you read anything that I have said in this thread?

If you want to go the way of flashing just the system image to see if that resolves it, you need to use the Android ADB found within the Android SDK Tools. (skip the optional part - you'd wind up breaking something).
Download and install them somewhere (make life easy and install it to C:\Nexus7\ )and run the installed application when finished. Once the command window opens, boot your tablet into FastBoot mode (hold down power + volume down) and plug it in.

Type "fastboot devices" (without quotes)
If a random jumble of numbers appears, then your tablet was detected. If it wasn't, you need to install the proper driver, such as the Universal Naked Driver
If it detects it, then you're good.

Download the factory Nexus 7 image I linked in the post above (Here it is in case you're lazy)
Extract the contents and then extract the second zip file within the zip file to the location of ADB you installed earlier.
Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (without quotes)
Type "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img" (without quotes)
Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without quotes)
Type "fastboot flash system system.img" (without quotes) and it will send the system image to your tablet.

Once it's done, use the volume rocker to select reboot and press the power button to reboot the tablet and see if it boots. Give it a few minutes and it should boot.
If it doesn't boot, we can come back to that and try flashing everything else.

it just says "sending boot..." and i waited for like 10 min and thats all.
