Hi, when we got a new 4.2 kernel with KK update, does it mean that it will be possible to make KK custom roms with 4.2 kernel or does it need the kernel sources to be released?

Not at the moment.
If it is adopted, you will probably see Dhacker29 tweet about it. I'd follow him.

Noob question. Im on xt926 rooted and unlocked on SlimKat 4.4.2 and want to up to the 4.4.4. Anyway, is there a source to download the 3.4 kernel/bootloader besides OTA?

Just flash official FW with RSD lite, flash new costum recovery and try any ROMs on 3.4! ))
now we have next ROMs on 3.4 - KitStalk, LiquidSmooth, Vanir, MoKee, Validus, CM11, PA, PA-SaberMod, SOKP, RES, OSE

Sorry, official FW? (told you i was a noob lol) I have RSD and TWRP 2.7.x.x...

ETA: oh duh... firmware. LOL

FW="FirmWare"

Somewhere in the forums is a copy of the official 4.4.2 files that you can flash with RSDLite. {search box!}
Once you've updated to 4.4.2 using the official release you can then Fastboot flash your TWRP/CWM and start life a-new with KitKat Roms. **MAKE SURE that you get a version of TWRP/CWM that is compatible with the new Kernel and OS. Kit Kat requires a different recovery.

As a side note, due to the changes in Recovery systems for KitKat I have found that sometimes during the big update flash it gets weird and may give you an error. If that happens ... flash a second time.

I got an m and an HD. All I've seen for roms on m is cm11 and I can't really find any good for the hd. Can you give me links to some for the hd especially liquidsmooth?
