Question about Roms, Android Versions, and my GT-N8013

Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013. I have rooted the tablet successfully and installed Omnirom on it, except Omnirom cam with Android 4.4.4 when my device's stock version is Android 4.1.2. After downloading Omnirom I would like to switch to Paranoid Android so I can access the pie feature on my tablet instead of the omnibox.
However, being very new at this, could I use a Paranoid Android Tablet Rom based on Android 4.4.4 instead of the standard 4.1.2? I don't want to go back to 4.1.2, it wasn't fun. I would like to keep Android 4.4.4 and have the updated version of Paranoid Android for my Galaxy Note 10.1 Is this possible?

your question seems odd for some reason im not understanding i guess.
so, you flashed a 4.4.4 rom onto your device and you want to know if you can flash another 4.4.4 rom onto your device that is made for your device correct?
if that is accurate^^, then yes, you can just flash the new rom.
the only possible problem i could see is, if there is an official update to kitkat for your device? if no then there will be no issue.
if there is an official kk for your device, say so and i will elaborate on the possible issues.

[Completed] Choosing between firmwares

I have Wileyfox Swift and its latest official firmware is Cyanogen OS 13.1.2 (6.0.1) and it's arm64.
This smartphone has clone, which is General Mobile 4G. The hardware is absolutely the same. Not so long time ago it updated to Android 7.0, but this firmware is just arm.
The question is - is it worth it to flash newest Android if my phone has arm64 processor?

Updating old S7 To latest stable version

Hi
I Received some old S7-930F Device.
Currently it is Rooted with custom SuperMan ROM, Running over Android 8.0.0.
Basically, I want to make sure phone is up-to-date as "much as possible" in terms of:
1. Is there any android update newer than Android 8, which is stable, for Galaxy S7?
I know there's beta by lineage based on Android 10, but looking for only stable version.
If there is - Can someone please share some guide / thread with updating instructions?
2. Is there any update to baseband version?
Currently the phone runs with G930FXXU2ERG2
If there is - where can I get it, and how to install it?
Much appreciated
Thanks
No theres not sorry

Last version of S7 firmware is FXXS6ESGD, get it of sam mobile or Samfirm tool. There's some good roms based on that, de bloated that run really well.

Will anyone have Android Pie ROM for my device?

Hi, I have a LG X Power device model K220, its Stock ROM is Android 6.0.1 and since some important Apps for me no longer work for that version, I have been looking everywhere for modified ROMS from at least Android 8 or 9 onwards, but I do not get anything, I already checked the compatible devices for Lineage, Resurrection RMX, among others and nothing, if anyone has the knowledge of any modified ROM for LG K220 that is Android 8 or 9 onwards it would be of great help to me
