Agreed on that it's a miracle that we're even getting 4.2 and by we I mean the i9100. I'm available to upgrade in may finally and right now it's between the s4 and the one but I'm having a hard time choosing, if there really isn't going to be cyaogenmod for it (we'll see about that once it's out) then that's a huuuuge detractor, i just really hate the buttons on the one and prefer the features of touchwiz to sense (I do NOT want BlinkFeed).

Our device will almost be 2 years old by the time 5.0 comes out, doesn't surprise me one bit. That's why we have awesome devs On xda :)

with the kind of dev support samsung gives I do not think we will have a good cm or aokp build. just ask entropy512 who is i believe maintainer of our device tree in cm.

i am going sony xperia z way as devs are raving about the way sony provides all and lot of extras to fix build etc.

i prefer stock over touchwiz so makes sense for me to move to xperia z and get all cm goodies :)

Honestly I expected this to happen. But, I also expect that we'll have functional builds of 5.0 on the i777 also.

I don't, I'm almost positive that there won't be 5.0 at all for this phone unless we get a new cyanogenmod maintainer for our device.

I know there are some that are hopeful for possible some unofficial ports of 5.0 coming to the GSII, but it's time to let go. I know that not everyone has a budget to replace their phone every 2 years, but you have to keep in mind that things change. Our phone (the I9100 + variants) has been a solid rock from the start, but android is increasing at a very fast rate. And it is also becoming very mature, with that. GB was very slim compared to what JB has added to the system. Ram usage has gone up ~50% from what I've noticed. Our phone only has 1gig of ram, I highly doubt Keylime pie would run as effectively as GB or ICS has. I've noticed some instances in JB already where lack of ram has caused hindrances. Nothing big, but it's there.

But we should note that, although galaxy s3 and note 2 will get the key lime pie, when will the klp release?According to the present condition, I think we cannot see the real android 5.0 in a short time.
