Just trying to find a custom rom or OS to flash to this device so it can be updated to a newer version of android, it's currently on 4.4.4 and severely limited in what apps it can use.

I am using a XT1022 and a custom ROM of Android version of 6.0.1. I want to use a stock ROM right now.
Earlier, i had a stock version of my ROM but the last time i flashed it, my mobile got OTA upgrade. And later i again flashed a custom ROM but now, i could not perform my stock ROM flash. Can anyone tell me how to find the present stock version of my android?
Why do you want to go to stock Rom?They are outdated.
Still if you want stock lollipop then visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3167111
I am currently on stock MIUI but I came from a Nexus and prefer stock android. The phone is on MIUI 9 which is based on Android 7.0. Am I right in thinking that the kernal I am currently using will only work with a ROM based on android 7.0? If I pick a 8.0 ROM can I use my existing stock kernal or do I need to update the kernal?
I fancy moving to LineageOS and I see I can pick LineageOS 14.1 (based on android 7.0) or LineageOS 15 (based on android 8.0).
Thanks.
Every custom rom including miui, have their own kernel source, you need not worry about the kernel used in a particular rom, because they are not cross supported. Miui's kernel is not supported by lineage and lineage's kernel is not supported by miui. Only custom kernel formed by merged source code support both of em. What exactly is your purpose?
Ahh so each custom rom also includes a new kernel, I hadnt realised that.
I havent rooted a phone since my ZTE Blade about 7 years ago, since then I have had Nexus phones and havent needed to change anything. I did update kernel then and my phone signal suffered so I wanted to avoid updating my kernel. I understand that the kernel contains the 'drivers' for all the components in the phone and I didnt fancy messing with them but seems I have to.....
Thanks for your input...
Hello,
My problem is, that i can't find any custom roms with android 5.0.0 or higher for my j100fn (j1 lte).
The reason, why i want this is, that the stock rom sucks and there are some apps, which require android 5.0 or later
I couldn't find any ROM that says it is compatible with this phone, this phone runs Android 5.1 which is quite old, I was just wondering if I could unofficially install any custom ROM without bricking this Phone
I'm very new to android development, so pardon any noob like things.
I want to update the version of android of some custom rom, could I do that by cloning aosp of that newer version and then merging the custom rom(old version) with the newer aosp.
If this is not possible is there any method that can be used to upgrade the android version
