[Completed] Rom requirement and procedure

So i am new to this redmi 2 thread and the device as i was on samsung j5 ...same soc just better camera , screen, and 0.5 gb more ram. Since the development sucked there (we do not have a stable cm 13 ..despite the stock rom updated to 6.0) i decided to exchange my device with my mother's. And i want to go to a nougat based rom from miui 8 global version kitkat. My requirements are..stable rom nougat based rom with volte (jio!!) And customisation and fluidity...recommend a kernel also. So how should i go from miui 8 non rooted with stock recovery to nougat...i just want links for compatible twrp and whether i need to update to lollipop bootloader to run latest rom. And i definitely want your valuable opinions about roms.
Thanks in advance!!

Any LineageOS v15 or AOKP 8.1 ROMs for 955U? (and other questions)

I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S8+ model SM-G955U (Snapdragon) on T-Mobile USA
- build number NRD90M.G955USQU1AQJ8
- service provider SW ver: SA0MC-SM-G955U_OYN_TMB_0187 98891 a315a30494859 TMB/TMB/TMB
- The phone is a USA version purchased directly from TMOUSA.
From the build number, I guess my bootloader is version 1, right?
What is the best method to flash TWRP recovery and then install a custom rom on my device?
There's a post here, but it mentions version 5 bootloaders. Will that method work for me? Is there a better method instead? I've been reading threads all day, but I'm more confused than when I started due to the different models of the S8+.
Is there a LineageOS v15 or AOKP 8.1 ROM for my device? I want a rooted ROM without GAPPS and I prefer a fully-featured ROM like AOKP. Any suggestions for me? (I want to move up from 7.1 and I prefer a stable ROM, so I thought Android 8.1 might be the best option.)

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

[Q] Why do some kernels work outside their intended Android versions and others don't?

I've recently installed the latest Hades ROM which is Android 10 on a friend's Note 8. I tried to pair it with the A2N kernel because it seems to be an incredibly good kernel... But it doesn't boot, or even go past the initial logo.
The problem is that on one of my phones, a Galaxy J5 2015, i can install any Android version while using the same kernel, Jet Cooled Kernel OC, which was made for Android 8. Tried it even on Android 11 and it works perfectly. Currently running AEX, Android 9, because it offers the most customization.
So why is that? Can somebody explain it to me? (To be clear, i'm not saying that people's work is poorly made or something.)
