[Q] Kernel version 3 or version 2.6.32.9? - LG Optimus 2x

What is the advantage of using a version 3 linux based kernel over the solid 2.6.32.9? Of course the obvious will be that is the most recently... but what does the new version kernel, specially because is a Linux port, improve the already existent 2.6.32
I appreciate any help on this.
Thanks!

Linaro questions

Hi, I found a ROM featuring linaro, I googled it and only found out that it makes the device faster. Can someone please explain to me how does it all work? Because surely they need all the source code that Samsung hasn't released to get any noticeable performance improvements. I have also read that it is compatible only with ICS (such as ani droid) but there is a JB ROM with it:

So any information about linaro and how it could influence the note would be much appreciated.

Kernel 3.10

Any chance we'll ever see an update to our 3.4 kernels to a modern 3.10 kernel in stock images? It appears that the Z4 ships with 3.10 kernel, but no such luck for the older generation devices.
Assuming the answer to 1st question is no, are there any custom kernels available for our phones that are suitable for running in conjunction with our stock (rooted) 5.1.1 OS images?

[Q] upgrading the kernel to the latest stable

is it possible to run Android using the latest stable linux kernel instead of sticking with the LTS version ? I mean instead of using 3.18.x, use 5.1.15, latest stable as of today according to the git releases https://www.kernel.org/
If so, is there a guide on how to do so, I mean:
* Which options are critical to enable in the interactive menuconfig
* if its needed to compile modules for this version or only the kernel image is enough ?
I've manually built many linux kernels for optimizing linux distros but never did so for an Android device, so something may be different, specially the stuff related to kernel modules

anyone use kernel 4.14 here?

hi! does anyone here using android 10 with 4.14 kernel here? i'm stuck on 4.9. i really want to try out 4.14 because 4.9 kernel is problematic on aosp 10. i tried to follow sony's guidelines to build aosp 10 kernel 4.14 based but i got errors at the end.
thanks
