[News]No Android 5.0 update for Galaxy S2

[gireeshtty9]

As stated by GSMArena website there will be no Android 5.0 update for Galaxy S2 and obviously should apply to the variants too just like ours.
Although this news is leaked from the company's insider, it may be true. This news may be highly disappointing to many. Here's the link. Go ahead check it out.

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

Hell its a gift that we are running 4.2.2....I never thought for a second we would get 5.0

Getting a new phone this year anyway....but the i777 has been a trooper...and I have no complaints.

Not shocking. Will be upgrading in the next couple of months.

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).

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

If we do not even have 4.2.2, then I'm not even thinking about 5.x

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 just read over at our Sprint E4GT forum that the GS2 variants will get 5.0

Funny all the news I been seeing on the Sprint variant is saying 4.1.2.

 

[fiffan86]

I had to see it for myself http://m.cnet.com/news/sprints-samsung-galaxy-s2-scores-jelly-bean-update/57577057 if only att would get on board for jelly bean. But no way will the s2 of any variety will see 5.0 officially

Yeah I very much doubt. Upgrade time coming up anyway! But happy with task650 4.2.2 as always

 

[VanillaCracker]

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.

What about SamSung galaxy S3?

What about SamSung galaxy S3?

What about it?

Go speculate in the GS3 forum if you want, this is the GS2 forum

 

[Dannyada1988]

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.
