Upgrade question - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I am on CM 10.2.1 running Android 4.3.1 (MJA). I was thinking about upgrading to the latest CyanogenMod version or another ROM.
I take it I would have to upgrade my Android version correct or would the new ROM include that upgrade?
Also, would it be safer to go back to a stock ROM and download and apply the latest update from Sprint and them install CM12/other ROM?
Thanks for any help.
PS: Never upgraded my S4, so sorry if the questions are silly.

The new ROM will include the latest version of Android.

ROMs don't include firmware, to use the latest ROMs you need the latest firmware. If he's going to CM I would at least update the modem.

Can you compare this update with Latest titan 5.0.2 rom?
I am stock and have not been on titan for a month, but feels as good as Shawn's 5.0.2 builds I have used, if not I'd say Shawn's is better. I just prefer a stock experience but love and support his work. Since I have been on 5.0.1 I haven't felt the need to use titan, but may try it again one he incorporates 5.1 or 5.0.3

[Q] Latest L720 stock firmware ROM

I have the Galaxy S4 (L720) running Android 4.4.2 (NG2). Is there a 4.4.4 version available? If so, can someone provide a link? Thanks.
Nope... Lollipop 5.0 is on the way though, Sprint is testing it now. You are on the latest as of now though.

Thanks. Will Lollipop be released by Sprint for the L720 or will it be a custom ROM released by a developer? We also have a M919, wonder if T-mobile will do likewise?
Alternatively, I've seen that there is a GPE Lollipop coming available? Wonder if that will be a better choice. I certainly don't care about the carrier-specific apps.
Yes. Exactly. Happens a lot, not all phones get every update.

can you upadate to latest firmware w/o inbetween updates?

My s4 is currently at firmware version L720VPUFNAE and wanted to know if I can update to the latest lollipop L720VPUGOD2 os firmware with out installing the inbetween L720VPUFNG2 firmware update. I thought I would ask before running into any issues.
Thanks in advanced.
