[Q] NOTE 2 - Please help ! just a small doubt

My device:- GT-N7100 ( Galaxy Note 2 international Version)
I am currently using Omega 18v (Android 4.1.2)
I would like to upgrade my omega rom to any other custom 4.4.2 kit kat rom..
Now my question is..
1) Can i flash rom directly from 4.1.2 to new downloaded 4.4.2 rom
{ I believe that first we have to upgrade android to STOCK 4.3 and then i need to install 4.4.2 right.. }
Please correct me if i wrong.
2) If I take my 4.1.2 android nand backup using philz recovery..
and then i will install 4.4.2 rom..
Now after installing 4.4.2 can i able to restore my previous backup ie.. 4.1.2
{ I saw some threads and posts that we cannot downgrade our rom from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2..}
Please solve my questions.

Yes you can directly flash 4.4.2 even if you are coming from 4.1.2 ROM,only thing you'd need is MJ5 bootloader (it's the last known bootloader that is KNOX free and works perfectly with 4.3 and 4.4.2 Touch wiz rom as well 4.4 AOSP ROM .You need MJ5 bootloader basically to have Wifi Working.Some people managed to get it working by staying on old bootloader and only flashing Dr.Ketan's wifi fix but in either case you don't need to upgrade to official 4.3 to flash 4.4.2.If you upgrade to stock 4.3 from samsung you will have Knoxed bootloader which will prevent downgrading to 4.1.2.So if you think you'd ever want to go back to 4.1.2 ROM then you shouldn't upgrade to stock 4.3 and just flash custom roms (after flashing the mj5 bootloader).I can provide you download link and instructions for MJ5 bootloader which can be flashed after upgrading your ROM to 4.3 or 4.4.2.Make sure you have a backup of your 4.1.2 ROM along with EFS PARTITION(that's a must) and then proceed ahead with flashing new ROMS.

Ofcourse you can i've run cm11 while I was still on 4.1.2 rooted stock rom.Root your 4.4 KK TW rom first, make a backup plus efs backup (if not already made) then clean wipe, flash the CM11 rom dont reboot your phone, flash the gapps then reboot system.Done.

Well, first of all you need to be on 4.3 stock
Then, flash the CWM using flashtool (4.4 CM11 kernel, don't use 4.3 kernel)
Then put the Custom ROM that you want to your sdcard and flash it using CWM
And follow the instructions and done! :laugh:

No need to worry about custom kernels.
You will get OTA updates with it
Moreover, Google OTA updates install the stock kernel again while upgrading.

[Q] What KitKat can you suggest to me ?

Hello
I have an D855 with TWRP, Cloudy 2.5 & Gabriel kernel install on my phone and the kitkat bootloader for not necessary have TWRP bumped.
I would like to know what is the last KitKat ROMs (AOSP/based stock/AOKP) and if its possible, know what is the last modem that i can install on KK ROM..
Why i want to downgrade android version ? I have test all needed fonctionality that i want and i think LP is pretty bad (its my opinion..), and i have a secondary question: about the battery life on KK, its really better (with any ROM) on LP or its depend of the kernel & ROM (KK or LP) ?
Thanks.
