Need Kernel, ROM, Android Advice/Schooling! <3 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4

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.

Looking for some advice regarding flashing on the P6

My boss bought one of these from China last year and it came with a chines OS and did not have the Play Store.........
I managed to root it and flash on a custom OS [PAC-MAN], specifically a 4.2.2 jelly bean version.....
I looked into getting the device upgraded to 4.4.2 kitkat but was put off by the downgrading etc that was involved...
he now feels like a change and I would preferably be looking to install a stock kit kat OS on to his device.........
as I have not been playing about with this phone for a while, could someone provide a basis step by step guide to what is required.........
I can flash ROMS no problem but the issue I had the last time was being unable to get the phone officially updated to stock 4.4.2, to then go on and flash custom ROMS after that.......
Thanks in advance........

[Q] LG G3 Lollipop Root - Help

Hey guys at xda-developers!
So before christmas I recieved an update for my G3 to upgrade to Android L from a rooted KitKat and I want to become rooted again. So can anylne advise me on what to do.
If there is any simple rooting method for LG Android L update.
I want to keep all my data btw.
Thanks. Ask any questions
Im new to the android world and xda so i dont know too much about ANDROID but i know a good amount
Thanks!
You can't root on lollipop, no root available as of yet. If you want root you have to downgrade to kitkat with the flashtool.
Use the LG Flash Tool to downgrade to kitkat (with a 10r build). There are a plethora of guides on how to do this.
Then you root, and install a custom ROM to get back to Lollipop. Cyanogenmod 12 works amazingly well on my D851. It's smoother than the stock ROM. However, you might be able to do the CloudyG3 ROM, which is essentially just what you have now with added features. Assuming that you got the Lollipop update a little while back, your phone sounds compatible. However, if you don't use the QuickCircle Case, I would highly suggest Cyanogenmod 12. I used the case, but made that small sacrifice for this amazing ROM.
Hope I helped!

Which Lollipop custom rom to go with?

hello guys,
I decided to stop waitin for official rom from samsung and will just go with custom. which rom should i try?? i want something similar to the official samsung rom with no custom additions and ofcourse stable with no problems.
I have note 2 - N7100
what would you suggest?
i'm also interested
there aren't many of them, so just start with CM and resurrection and I bet you will be surprised.
I have a n7100 note 2 and I am also looking to apply a custom ROM.
My n7100 currently runs Samsung stock ROM Android 4.4.2
I have already installed ROOT, TWRP 3.0.0.0 and taken a backup using TWRP. Also took a separate backup of the efs partition.
I want to install Resurrection Remix ROM of Android 5.1.1 - note though that this has now had development stopped. Guess they are moving on to Android 6.x
Can I pose some (technical) questions here or better for another thread?
Thanks

[Q] T705W wont boot any 5.1 ROMs

Hi folks,
Its been a long while since I've played around with Samsung devices (Galaxy S1, lol) and I'm running into some issues after picking up a used Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE (T705W Telus [unlocked]). So far I've got it updated to 5.0.2, rooted, and installed TWRP 3.0.2-0. I've got a nandroid of the stock rom that I've been using to fall back to as well as a copy of the Telus firmware if things go south. With my limited knowledge and reading/searching before creating this thread, I know that I'd likely need an updated firmware in order to get Marshmallow, but that doesn't appear to be available for the T705W.
The Issue: It appears I'm unable to flash any rom that isn't for 5.0.2. I would have thought that running 5.1 based ROMs would be fine, considering they're both LP. However I'm not having any luck... I've tried CM12, BlissPop v4, PAC 5.1 LP, and Ressurection Remix LP. All of which result in an infinite boot of the ROMs logo (I've waited ~30 mins for each one)
The Questions:
What obvious thing am I missing in order to allow me to flash 5.1 based roms?
Is there any firmware for the T705W that I can use to run 6+ based ROMs? (pipedream)
Am I stuck on 5.0.2?
Thanks for your time!

Is there anyway possible to downgrade 6.0.1 back to 5.1.1 with root?

Alright, I am new to XDA but I am not new to hacking/rooting etc. That's just to clarify.
Long story short, I dislike Android marshmallow and I want to return back to my beloved 5.1.1 lollipop, I have the T-Mobile variant (SM-G925T) Updated to 6.0.1 and I rooted via CF-Auto Root and installed a Custom Rom thats 63% Stock. Anyways like I said i dislike this version and I want back 5.1.1 any tips on how or if I even can?
