Need Kernel, ROM, Android Advice/Schooling! <3

First let me say that I am brand spanking new to these forums. I've some experience rooting before, but it has been years... Last phone I had rooted was the HTC Evo 3D (I still have that cool sonfa) which was years ago. Been out of the loop as far as things go. I decided to mess around with my old Note 4 (it's really not that old, I love this beast), so here I am. I've unlocked the bootloader and confirmed that it's rooted via root checker, but it's still in the stock 5.0.1 firmware... BORING... So I want to install a custom ROM and debloat this thing... I do have some general questions.
1) Any links to safely upgrading my note4 from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 ? (not even sure if this is necessary, you'll see what I'm getting at later in this post)
2) Bootloader is unlocked, phone is rooted, that's it... Do I need to flash a new kernel before trying to flash a custom ROM? Again, are they version specific as to what android I'm using?
3) ROM's and Firmware... I see ROM's listed here that have 6.0.1 next to them, does that mean that I need Android 6.0.1 to install this ROM?
Example: [ROM] [6.0.1] [UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 13.0 [Jul 24, 2016]
That's basically all my Q's, thanks again for any help/guidance I can get here.

[Q] Android N Firmware update questions

Hi Guys,
firstly sorry if this has been answered as i did a few searches but am that out of date now.
I'm currently on LeeDroiD 10 v3.0.0 Beta 3 and still on the old MM firmware.
Last time i was following the threads religiously there was an issue with TWRP not working for the new Nougat firmware (hence why i never updated).
My question now is what is the best way for me to go to the new firmware, TWRP (if it even works wiith the latest firmware) and newest ROM base (of any Nougat ROM as i always keep changing lol).
Thanks

Hey Roshi,
You can flash Viper 10 4.5 (http://venomroms.com/viper10-downloads/), which is an Android N ROM, and it works on Android M firmware (e.g. 1.95.401.4).
Otherwise you could flash this RUU first: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/wwe-htc-10-stock-rom-ruu-2-28-401-9-t3525075
It will update your firmware to Android N: 2.28.401.9, and then flash Viper10 4.5. However, it is being said that this RUU was leaked, and therefore it is not the final version that HTC will release to the public, hence it will never receive OTAs.
P.S. I never heard of TWRP not working on this firmware, so I assume it works just fine.

Porting older android version on MTK

Hi everyone! A long time ago i've heard that it's not possible to port older android version on newer kernel, however it seems strange, since major kernel version stay the same(3.x). I've tried myself sometime ago(i have some exp in porting firmwares, but i've ported custom ROM of same version) but got bootloop(from 6.0 to 4.2). Have anyone got some success in porting older android version?
