Samsung provided Galaxy S II users 2 major Android updates (Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean), a device which was released in April of 2011 and initially shipped with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), and finally ended its support in May 2013 (25 Months).
Its now 100% that we will not get another update... but it’s time to accept the fact that the Galaxy S II – which is perhaps the best device Samsung ever made – is going to be stuck on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean forever.
So sad :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Thank you carl i already emailed you
is it possible, that our device will get roms for the next two years for example?
or does the sofware change in a way that cant be ported to the "old" s2?

Have a look in the neatrom lite thread in the s2 android development section, it is fairly simple to install if you follow the instructions on the first page, make sure you do a backup beforehand.

I think devs should now eye the port from galaxy s2 plus. It was launched on 4.2 and might get update. So if the port can take place then I think we can still carry on with this beast for a year or so

I just installed the latest version of Jelly Bean for my device I9100XWMS1, for me this version is very very awesome, phone never hang, and never hot, also Battery last very long, and it fixed my Bluetooth and cam problem that i had in older version, i recommend it for everyone...
it support english and it's unbranded so it will work on any carrier.
i can't post link because i have less than 10 posts because i'm new,
if anyone want it, you can find it online or you can send me a message and i will give you the link..

Hi,
I have searched everywhere but I have never seen a real answer to this question: is the 5.1.1 update bring the touchwiz update? What does it bring exactly?
^A little bit less lag when using the recent apps button. Otherwise: Nothing but numbers.
So it doesn't bring the tw update...

When Samsung update the freakin' Note 4 to 5.1.1 we may end up getting the new TouchWix UX or whatever it's called, but in all honesty I don't think that's going to happen (just my opinion)- we'll probably get the new TouchWiz with Android M.

The American variants have 5.1.1 and don't have the new tw and theme engine.
When we do get 5.1.1 it will make it a lot easier to port s6 and n5 features though so you will see lots of custom roms with the new launcher

Got to be honest I agree. Apart from the cm roms for the 910f development has just about stopped. I've tried miui on my old n2 but never tried porting it.
Hopefully now we have the n5 system development should start to pick up

Please check out:

This provides a quick list of changes and you can quickly see the key ones when comparing 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 these changes + updated Samsung apps and services.
Another question does anyone have experience with LG? How long does their phones take to get the new updates for example the G3 their previous flagship
Good question re LG updates
maybe ask that one in the LG forums!!!
5.1.1 for n910C is out in Poland.

My last phone was an LG, but was also an ATT phone. Updates took around 1-2 months to receive after other variants of my phone got their updates. But LG released their updates at about the same speed at Samsung IMO. However, I think they at least kept people up to date with ETAs.

Android 5.1.1 Lollipop final over-the-air (OTA) upgrade will be rolled out to Samsung Galaxy S2 handsets. It will arrive this year with security patches and performance enhancements.
Samsung Galaxy S2 devices, both under the mobile carriers and unlocked version, are expected to get the final OTA report on the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop upgrade in December or October. While it may appear unlikely for a few that a device run presently Jelly Bean will receive the upgrade, a lot of analysts are convinced of the likelihood as a few Samsung mid-range and older devices have been getting Lollipop's official software edition by a string of upgrades in September, iUSB Preface reported.

Maybe. I have CM 12.1 nightly and it is mostly OK, except that Bluetooth is still broken, like it has been in 5.x all the time. The last stable CM that has working Bluetooth is SlimSaber 4.4.4.
Will it be available for S2 HD? (SGH-i757M)
It would be cool becouse there is no lolipop ROM for our devise and all KitKats lag pretty much. Despite the devise has faster hardware than original S2. It's just lacks good software development, unfortunately.
Imho isn't true...I hope but i don't believe

It's so funny...
Sammy has not released 5.1.1 update for the previous "flashship" Galaxy S5, not corrected stagefright, and don't care about i9100 since several years...
Of course it is fake... They skipped 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0
Why would they release 5.1.1???
I don't believe it, its an old phone.. And we haveCyanongen 5.1.1 thanks to LA

Yes, we have, but unfortunately it does not quite work. Bluetooth is broken and phone runs out of memory in day or two.

but guys.. touchwiz Lollipop for old device like s2 is like the expensive car without the wheels.... But custom roms for s2 is pretty good.

Why?
Exynos variants can only get TW roms due to the source not being open. Snapdragon variants could but they have locked bootloader so not possible at the moment.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
People should be reverse engineering exynos as a time will come where samsung will only use exynos in the future. I'm actually amazed they haven't fully switched to tizen for phones but I'm sure that will also happen
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I have the Exynos version. Can someone please explain in detail, why I can't get it? I don't really understand, as I can see people making new roms for the s7. And, is there anyway to port/take the things and make a miui rom?
Making TouchWiz roms is just modding them.
Full custom roms like miui and cm need a source to work from to make drivers etc. No such source has been released from Samsung for the exynos. This is why there has always been cm on snapdragon as the source code is released for that as Sammy doesn't own snapdragon chips.
Hope this is clear. It's not hardout detail but it's the jist of it.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I had used a HTC One M7 three years back or so and fell absolutely in love with changing roms etc to suit my needs. Went back to my iPhone after that and have now shifted back to S7 Edge. I was unaware of all this source code etc and thought the modding scene would be the same. But here I am, stuck with a stupid TW od Sammy. Such a beautiful device and I cant unlock all its power. I feel like I am still using iOS as I cant modify my phone.
Planning on selling my S7E for something more open like a OP3.
I'd love this! Miui is far more pleasurable to use than the TW rom currently installed.. It makes me sad that the S7 is so locked up. Rip aosp && sammy <\3
hence why im selling the s7 and getting the alcatel idol 4s..cant beat the price and its gorgeous design
Even if it is fully unlocked.. MIUI patchrom only supports kitkat, S7 edge comes preloaded with Marshmallow so we have no drivers for kitkat.
Until they release MIUI 8 patchrom with MM base we can't do a lot. And even when they will do that, editing smali files + fixing bugs will take "some" time too.
Note 4 has MIUI patchrom cause it's first android was 4.4 which gave them kitkat bootloader.
