[Question] Can you downgrade to an older version of android on a newer device? - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

I wanna test out Android KitKat however my phone comes with Android Lollipop, Is there a way to run it? If so, Are there any ROMs for it? (J500H)

Samsung Galaxy J5 from the beginning received Lolipop and the kernel for it, so you will not find sources for creating a kernel for KitKat.

GT-i9500 AOSP Android L

1. Is there any indication on whether Samsung will release Android L (Touchwiz) on the GT-i9500?
2. Is there any chance that we could convince Samsung to release Android L as vanilla AOSP on the GT-i9500?
3. Is there any chance of Samsung releasing Android 4.4.4 or 4.4.2 vanilla AOSP version on the GT-i9500?
4. Is there anyone in the community that would want this?
5. Can someone communicate this to the Samsung Devs and request it?
Please don't suggest any ROMs, I know there are AOSP ROMs, I've tried all of them and they're unstable compared to the official Touchwiz firmware.

I've got LDU and installed Lollipop. Phone after few second from boot to system freeze and restart.

Galaxy S4 Canada 6.0 Marshmallow, Xposed

Hi, i have the samsung galaxy s4 SGH-I337M jfltecan running android 5.0.1 lolipop. I want to install Xposed framework on my phone. I tried once before and got stuck in an annoying bootloop I also want to upgrade to a marshmallow based rom. Is there any way i can upgrade to 6.0, because i cant find any CM13 or anything that supports my device. If yes, instructions?
For Xposed framework, (If i can get that marshmallow OS) how can I install Xposed for marshmallow if there is a way to get marshmallow on my phone. If not, how can I install Xposed on 5.0.1 on my phone without getting bootlooped. I've heard a lot about having to DEODEX my stock ROM or something, which I dont quite understand.
I know it's a lot to ask, so thanks for any future help!
For a MM custom ROM, you may need to alter the updater script in order to install the ROM.
For CM, look for the jflte ROMs.

Xposed for MM:
Flash 1.
Install 2.
And if you want to get rid of Xposed flash 3.

[Q] TouchWiz ROM on latest Android Version? [I9505]

Hello Internet,
Up 'til now I've been using Albe95's amazing Lollirom V9.0 on my I9505 which uses Android 5.0.1. I've recently been looking to update my ROM but can only find later [N/O] Android versions from AOSP or AOKP or CM, but nothing with Touchwiz.
I was wondering if there is one and I've just missed it, or if it's impossible, or if I can do it myself?
Thanks in advance!
TL;DR Is there a TW Nougat/Oreo ROM?
There is no custom TW-based ROM after LP as Samsung never released one for any s4. I believe a TW ROM based on MM, N, and O ROMs would require a corresponding Samsung kernel for the S4 that doesn't exist.
