Is there any risk to downgrade from custom rom 4.4 to custom 4.3?
Ex. neatrom 4.4 to neatrom 4.3.
Nope,
just remember to Factory Reset your Phone, if you encounter any Problems.
just do it

I am familar with installing custom roms all i want to make sure is that is it ok to install a custom rom based on 4.3 JB over CM11 which is based on 4.4.2 because I've come across some threads where it was mentioned that downgrading can brick my device.

So I rooted with towelroot a couple months back, and currently running the latest Trents rom (4.4.2 I believe?). I was curious if anyone else has been able to install lollipop roms? I get a bootloop when installing through safestrap (latest version). I also just get a black screen when attempting to install 4.4.4 roms (I tried the latest DU 4.4.4). Anyone know why this may be happening, is there a fix? If you need more info I'm happy to provide... I'm just not sure what info would be useful.
Since you're on 4.4.2 with Safestrap and your bootloader is locked, you have to stick with Touchwiz ROM'S that are using the 4.4.2 stock kernel.
4.4.4 and Lollipop won't work since they're not using 4.4.2 stock kernel.

Great, I figured this was the answer, but I wanted confirmation. I appreciate it.
Can anyone recommend a 4.4.4 based rom that is safestrap compatible and completely stable for SCH-I545?

I think this is the only GPE ROM thats out for Safestrap, but I maybe wrong.

My gt-p7510 is rather sluggish since flashing a lollipop rom. What is the best/safest way to get back to 4.4?
The same way you flashed lollipop.

Omni 5.1 IS a lollipop based ROM. So you haven't downgraded. You just went full custom instead. How's it running?

Ended with further downgrade to original rom
HI,
I'm currently on NK1 with the EmptyGalaxy ROM. It works awesome but I'm considering trying the Phoenix and/or Stang Lollipop ROMs. I just want to know if once I flash those, am I stuck on Lollipop, or will I be able to restore/revert back to KitKat EGR?
Thanks

Go ahead, I have Albe95 S6 rom with the same bootloader (NK1) and I can get back to KitKat just by installing again safestrap, nc5 kernel and then flashing any 4.4.x rom
Thanks for the info!
