I think I bricked my n7 running on stock rom after flashing Franco.Kernel

[balboa 147]

The franco.kernel updater was on sale yesterday, so i figured I should try out the free version and test it out first before I make the purchase.

Downloaded and flashed the latest stable kernel (r25), auto-flashed it, and rebooted it but it seems to be perpetually stuck in the X boot animation. I have not been able to fully boot my N7 since then. Going into recovery mode is no problem.

How do I revert back to the stock kernel, without wiping all of my data? I made a back up of my 'data' and 'boot' using TWRP, is it possible to restore my apps + app data after I flash the stock google image? I heard flashing back to stock wipes everything.

Please help
