About Custom ROMs Android versions - Moto Z2 Play Questions & Answers

Just a silly question. Why the most ROMs for Moto Z2 Play are based on Oreo?
I have this device since 2017, updated until Android Pie via OTA, but I want to change for something different than stock ROM.
The problem is, most ROMs still based on old version of Android and I don't want to downgrade.

[Q] Update stock ROM

Hello.
I haven't seen an official Kitkat update for the P6-U06 - International Edition (i have the B113, JB 4.2.2 version).
As Huawei seems that it doesn't care about it, i want to update mi stock ROM to a fully functional Kitkat custom ROM.
Which ones are the most recommended???
I've seen versions B5XX, to miui, etc, but with huawei, i haven't worked with updates (i had a samsung cellphone, then an LG G, with which i didn't have problems finding the best ROMs), so i need a little help here.

B510, B511 and B512 are Official International KitKat Updates.
Yep i think there is also an B513 by now
But if you want a custom Rom, there is CyanogenMod 11 (newly arrived!), Paranoid Android and OmniRom
In my opinion CM11 and PA are the best

Will we see custom marshmallow roms when the official update is released?

So sooner or later, we should be getting marshmallow on our phones. I'm curious to know if those who unlocked their phones will be seeing custom roms based on the update, or if it will cause problems.
We already can install custom mm rom and everything seems to work
Isn't cm13 MM? been using it for like a week.. runs great.
Will we be seeing a MM touch wiz rom soon?

[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firstly sorry if this has been answered as i did a few searches but am that out of date now.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.

Custom ROM for Galaxy S5 G900T - Are older Lollipop 5.0 based ROMs still available?

I'm new to flashing ROMs... originally rooted my S5 in 2016, but am just now getting around to flashing a rom. My phone runs on Lollipop 5.0. I'm concerned that the hardware will no well support ROMs based on Android 10, 11 & 12 - which is what I'm seeing everywhere.
1. If I flash the newer versions on LineageOS, will they work correctly on my phone?
2. Can I still use ROMs based on Lollipop 5.0 - If so, where can I find them?
Thanks!

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?
