[Q] Kernel variants to use with Parnaoid Android

Hi,
I am sure this will be a quick answer for most people. I am on Paranoid Android 3.99 RC2. I was looking to flash a kernel, such as Elemental, but there are a few variants - which of these do I need to use please?
Sense 5.5 Android 4.3
ElementalX-m7-6.1.2
OR
Sense 5 Android 4.3 (not working on base 3.10, works on all others)
ElementalX-m7-5.6
OR
Google Play Edition Android 4.3
ElementalX-m7-4.4
Thanks in advance

You shouldn't use any of those. Those are for sense-based and google play edition roms. If you want a custom kernel compatible with AOSP based roms you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522854. Its for Cyanogenmod, don't know if it will work for PA. Make a nandroid backup just in case. Hope this helps

[Q] phone is strange [root does not install]

Hey all
So basically I'm on revolution kit kat stock ROM and I have twrp recovery therefore root worked well
REGARDLESS to the fact that I can't use supersu to give permissions in my native non-english language
It worked well
Later on, 2 weeks later, phone got crazy it acts like if I'm not rooted at all
When I restart it works but a minute later root dies
What wrong with it??

It's 4.4 sense is 5.5

Just got a rooted/safestrap 4.3 note 3. How do I use a kitkat rom

I was lucky to get a refurbished note 3. It came with Android 4.3 so I rooted and installed safestrap. How do I use a kitkat custom rom? Is it as easy as just flashing it? I thought you couldn't flash a rom with a differ base?
Thanks so much!

Sense 6 Android 5.0.2 - ElementalX-m7-19.5-Sense
Google Play Edition Android 5.0.1 - ElementalX-m7-19.3-GPE
Since you said you are on a Sense based ROM, running android 5.0.2, then you would want version 19.5, if you were running a Google Play Edition ROM like I am, then you would want version 19.3. You also need to flash this from a custom recovery.. Hopefully you are running TWRP 2.6.5.0 (the latest version).

Xposed on GT-I9505 without updating from 4.4.2?

Hi!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) running android 4.4.2.
It's rooted and with CWM.
Is there a way to put xposed on it without updating the android version?
I really really really would want to keep 4.4.2 and not change android version.
By looking around I have seen that samsung phones with stock roms sometimes have trouble with xposed. Is that true for android 5.0 and newer versions only? Or for 4.4.2 as well?
I am scared of making a test "just to see how it goes" because it's the only phone I got, even if I have backup from Cwm and all ...
Thanks in advance.
U will not have issues or any need to update your Android version
Xposed for kitkat is 2.6.1 and 2.7 build
Happy installing
