Yes you can flash any custom rom on KitKay but of course you will need a custom recovery

That means u have u to flash LEAKED or OFFICIAL(SER-RUSSIAN) 4.2.2 first with odin...after that flash cwm and then u can flash GENNXT 4.2.2 on ur device...In short u can't flash directly GENNXT 4.2.2 over the 4.1.2...
Clear???

you can install any 4.3 rom you would like, as long as it is for your device.

[Q] Downgrade from nae to mk2 possible?

Just curious if it possible to downgrade from an nae ROM to say an mk2 ROM. I'm currently running slim kat and want to try some different 4.3 based ROMs. Thanks...
With custom Roms yes. But not with Odin.

If I understand you, you want to install a lollipop custom rom. Afaik, there are no lollipop roms available for safestrap. And that's the only recovery you can use if you're on 4.4.4

Yep once you upgraded from Jelly Bean to Kit Kat that killed Custom Roms. Kit Kat has Locked Bootloader
