What I want to do: Root my phone and have a Custom ROM & Kernal

Problem: Some of these post are a few months old and in need of an update (most links I've tried dont work)
I do have some past experience with Custom ROMS & Firmware (along with bricked devices). I just wanted to make sure how & what im rooting my phone with is updated and current with the firmware.

Bloatware removed (or at least the useless apps)
Landscape Homescreen
Music Player
Video Player
Ability to invert colors
4G capability
Wifi Tether
Radio app?
Music Box app?
Music/Video editor?​

What I am looking for in a Kernal:
Smooth transitioning
Battery Efficient
Not necessary quick but reliable to get information at a decent amount of time​
