Lets say a kernal version is 4.4 can the android version be 4.4.2 or does the kernal have to match the android version?
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Both versions should match each other , but yes for custom rom development we can patch kernel source such that it works on higher Android version but task is not easy and requires lot of knowledge.
Good Luck!

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It might be possible but I don't know what phone you have. The phone specs don't do as much good as knowing what device you have.

Have stock gt-p5210 with kitkat 4.4.2. Need to root only to regain sdcard usage that kitkat removed.
CF provided a table of supported devices with build level identifiers. For my device the build level id ends in UEU0CK1 which is different than the kitkat 4.4.2 build he identifies. Sorry about noobie question but can i use his autoroot on my stock machine with the stock build or must I find and flash the build number he shows in his table?
Thanks for any pointers.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist If firmware in CF Root site is of same android version (4.4.2) to which your device currently has then you can use it else you cant use it
Good Luck!
Thanks Jackeagle, yep both are 4.4.2 so I'll give it a try. Thanks for the nfo.
I dont know why , use a kitkat kernel to build cyanogenmod 12 , I build the testing recovery is success ,but cant use on phone , can every one tell me did I do a stupied thing?
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
All custom kernels are updated when a new Android version is released so I guess you can't use a KK kernel on a LP rom
Hello there! I have been trying to find a working root / update for my model for quite a while now but I cannot
find anything that would work with my model... The numbers are always different from those that uploaders say
it works on. Can you help me root my phone and find a working update since there was no official update for my
country (Slovenia) for Lollipop. It can be a custom ROM too, I don' care as long as it will run faster than current version
which is preinstalled with a lot of crap and runs slow. Here are the details:
Model number: G7-L01
Android version: 4.4.4
EMUI version: 3.0
Baseband version: 11060009
Build number: G7-L01V100R001C00B263
Custom version: CUSTC432D001
Thank you for your time!

Good day I just want to ask does flashing a custom rom to your phone make your phone compatible with app that will only run on latest version of android?
I have OPPO R831k that has a stock version of android 4.2, can I install app that can only run at android 4.4 if I flash it with a higher version of custom rom?
