Anyone know if this is likely to happen or if it is already happening for the Verizon variant of the Note II? Would be cool get on 6.0

marshmallow on note 2

Marshmallow wont come to note 2 and lollipop wont either. Samsung cancelled the development. so looks like Note 2 has reached its update limit. I think Nexus will be my next phone as they seem to be fast on new software updates.

Who needs um ?

Just run custom stuff. I'm on 5.1.1 right now and I'm sure it won't be long before 6.0 ROMs show up around here
5.x ROMs are really buggy on the N2. And I've tried them all. Always kept coming back to 4.4.2.

Shame really. Note 2 is still, by far, an awesome phone.

Ditto. Even though I added a Note 5 the Note II is still awesome. Unfortunately, CM12.1 is still not 100% and it's even worse than I last tried about half a year ago. Along with existing issues like no mobile data until reselecting APN but there's now new graphics glitches during initial setup. Went back to 4.4.2 where it's 100%. Hope CM13 will be usable.

We're still waiting for 5.x, let alone 6.x, lol. There have been rumors floating around for 5.x, but I'm not holding my breath.

I meant a custom ROM, I know a stock update is never going to come. Samsung was initially planning on sending out a Lollipop update but then it just sorta fizzled out.

I got 5.1.1 in my note 2 (N-7100) and so its running really smooth. Can't really find any bugs...everything's been running perfectly. The only thing not working is the face detection in smart lock. Other than that its very good.

I'm constantly using 5.x (CM12) on my Note 2 for about 6 month now.
The development has reached a status which I can't complain about.
With Undervolting + Power nap I get awesome battery times and with the custom themes.

My Note 2 has so many scratches. The screen has many cracks (which are held together by a display protector) too.
It simply refuses to die.
With CM12.1 I love this piece of hardware ^^

some roms?

Hi I have the Nemesis Rom and I'm very happy, but since I discovered the CM13 6.0.1 for our notes I'm thinking to change.

The fact is I used most of the samsung features (Snote, scrapbook, etc) Is there any possibility to integrate them with CM13? If not do you recommend me another Rom better than Nemesis?

Just dreaming I guess. Thank you!
