Yeah there are a few decent ones based on JB and KK.
Go to the E210 (XDA) link in the OP, you'll find a few.
E210S and E210K ROMs are easier to build and find because they have the same partition table as I9300.

E210L is different. Even I9305 ROMs don't work on it. I haven't found a single custom ROM for E210L yet. So I sold mine. It was a POS anyway.
Does SHV-E210K support KitKat? If yes how can i update it?

Yep samsung officially updated S3 korean to kitkat currently using it and have not found any bugs. the rom is rootable easily. if your fone is not rooted then you can upgrade it without any problem through Over the air but if it is then it is not hard either but then you have to download 1.2GB update and flash it using Odin. follow this link

[OFFICIAL] Korean SGS III (SHW-M440S/SHV-E21… - Pg. 526 | Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 | XDA Forums

but there are few custom roms like CM and Slimkat are also available. you can get the information in above link

I followed the steps mentioned in that link. After my mobile restarted the first time it gave so many errors regarding apps crashing and "Home" button was not working.
I restarted my phone manually and then on boot it updated some apps (138) and when it started it gave no error and "Home" button is also working now.
Is it normal or is there anything wrong?

It's normal, happened with my E210L when I updated it to JB.
I would still recommend a factory reset though, for your own satisfaction.

Also, how's the performance on KK?

Its working absolutely fine after i restarted the phone. No issues yet

I dont know what happened but i lost Ufone signals on my LG F180. I traveled from ISB to Gujrat and its not even showing in Network search. It was fine in ISB. Everything was good. Zong and Telenor are showing in Network List but no ufone? What do you guys is problem? Is it something with 3g or 4g thing? Or ROM problem? BTW I am on Sling 2.2.2 with F180L patch.

Remove the SIM and then put it back in again.

Did that already. Only networks it is showing in network list are telenor and zong. Can it be frequency problem?
Frequency problems can't occur like this. If you have someone with a UFONE SIM, ask if you can try it in your phone.

Go to network settings and change to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto and restart, uou should be fine.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
