Downgrading Samansung Galaxy A8 to Kitkat version? - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi All,
I tried alot to find however, could not locate any useful information about the same.
I am looking forward to downgrade my new samsung galaxy A8 to kitkat if that is possible?
It came with preinstalled 5.1.1 Lollipop. So wanted to check if it possible to flash any ROMs on this device?
Reason: Just bought a MIRACAST working fine with all kit kat devices but not with Lollipop. Found out there are some issues with Lollipop supporting miracast.
Feel free to let me know any suggestion.
Regards

Yesh, the wifi connection will be disconnected frequently after updating to 4.4.2. And sometimes you have to re-key in the password manually. I have unrooted my device and now using the official firmware. For N9005 i feel that the best firmware will be 4.3 (Jelly Bean) the original firmware. Anyway, it's just my opinion. If want to root still, just go ahead, but make sure you have do lots of survey and follow the instruction properly. (Sorry for my poor english)

Root samsung s5 without pc?

Hey, I'm a very new when It comes to rooting so I appoligize for my lack of experience. I was wondering if there is a way to unlock my samsung galaxy s5 sm-g900f without using a computer, as I have no access to one. My phone is running on android 5.0 firmware. Thanks alot for the help .
Nope, not with Lollipop, if you were running a pre-June 2014 KitKat ROM, you could have used towelroot
Ah that sucks. Thanks for the fast reply

Installing Different FIrmware

I own an International Samsung S5 (Exynos Variant) So i was wondering if i could install the S5 Neo firmware on my phone as it is on Lollipop 5.1.1 and is far better performing than my sluggish lollipop 5.0
I am not a newbie to this just don't know what will happen if i flash different firmware. I am currently rooted and running a custom rom.

Greetings,
I've moved your question to your device's Q&A forum so you can get your question answered by the experts.
Most likely though, no, you shouldn't flash anything on your device that isn't specifically made for your device.
Good luck!
Thanks for replying! Its just that if somebody can tell me what are the main components of a rom like kernel, libraries,etc so that i can create a new rom or maybe just port some features of S6 but i need the help with framework.
Most definitely DO NOT flash firmware from another phone variant other than those designed for you model. You will encounter problems or brick your phone.
