Well I use a Samsung Galaxy s2 skyrocket its from Nov 2011 lol and thanks to cynogenmod I'm running the latest version of jellybean 4.2.2 so I would say depending on the phone people keep supporting them for ahwhile sad the carriers and manufacturers don't put as much support in these phones as the devs on here lol the people on this site are awesome you will find all the info u need in the forums for your device including the info u are seeking about Roms

Well official support from a manufacture is normally somewhere in the range of 18 months but developers will keep a device alive for even longer to at least 2 years



 
Code:
question = 2*b || !(2*b)
"The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents."

Code:
class Luke extends Jedi {
    function checkFather($father) {
        if ($father-]name == 'Darth Vader')
            die('NOOOOO!!');
    }
}
