Wanted to know what is the specific issue in upgrading form 4.1 to 4.2?
Why are we not seeing roms based on 4.2?
Does one need to modify things in 4.2 to work over existing nAa kernel? Are there any structural or other changes in 4.2 or future versions such that unless some extra work is done it cannot be supported in on mini.

You're confused.
Firstly, Android is a free OS that carriers/developers can use. What your referring to as "newly official released 4.1.2 Jelly Bean" is simply Samsung using a version of Android OS and then adding their software/tweaks to it. They happen to have used v4.1.2 of Android for their latest release.
Latest version of Android is v4.2.1 which is what Cyanogenmod is based on.
CM looks more like real stock Android whereas Samsung rom has a completely different UI experience as it uses its own TouchWiz UI.
If you want to know differences try them.
Hello, i'm looking for a kernel with is compatible with Jellybean 4.2.1 and higher.
I always used siyah in combination with android revolution hd, but because siyah don't work with 4.2.1 i'm looking for other kernels to compare and choose the right one.
I found the following rom's:

Who can help me to find kernels who are compatible with android jelly bean 4.2.1??????
There are none!
Samsung haven't released the kernel source code so no one can make a kernel. Samsung release the code a while after releasing the rom, which unless I've missed something - they haven't released yet either
Edit... you're not taking about Google Android 4.2.1 btw. You're talking about Samsung builds based on android 4.2.1 which is a completely different thing.

Hi guys, I am trying to learn as much as i can on porting/cooking roms. Just wondering if there is any relation / dependency of kernel and android versions, I could not find info anywhere. I want to use a jb 4.1 rom with jb 4.2. Thanks and regards.
I want to build cm11 for the T-Mobile Sidekick 4g primarily for compatibility with newer apps, but before that I was told that I'd first need to build a kitkat compatible kernel. I have read on how to build kernels, apply patches, tweaks, and modules, but I haven't seen anything about what makes a kernel android version specific. I have an HTC HD2 flashed with Tytung's nexushd2 cm based roms and on his list of roms he has used his same custom kernel on both jelly bean and kitkat roms. So my questions are;
1. is there any other way to make newer apps like hangouts and stock nexus 5 dialer (because of native sip integration) compatible with older versions of android (froyo)?
2. what makes a kernel android version specific?
3. what would I have to do to make a sidekick kernel compatible with cm11?
4. would the cm guide here automatically build a cm11 compatible kernel? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
5. is there any way to update sidekick 4g stock rom source?
6. if I build using Google AOSP source would the rom that is built be a nexus-like rom?
Hello, I always have new versions of Android on my S2, and with the lollipop update, samsung released new lollipop-based touchwiz. I love touchwiz from the 4.1 update, and the lollipop-based is awersome! Now I'm running WizzedKat rom, and I ask: is there any lollipop based rom with the new touchwiz for s2? THX!

Nope. It's too early for developers to make such rom. Porting touchwiz to lollipop takes effort and is probably hard to do with all of the recent additions to android. You probably need to wait a few more months until someone manages to get it working but right now it's too early to estimate.
well, is anyone working on a touchwiz lolipop rom for s2? i'd love to test i on my s2. great piece of hardware
