I realize this is the age-old question everytime a new milestone comes out, but I'm eating lunch and it's kind of quiet around here. :laugh:
Quiet indeed.
If Lollipop makes it to the i9100, then I will do my best to make sure that it makes it to the i777.
The i9100 has a MASSIVE following, but a lot of the devs have moved on to newer devices that are better supported by the manufacturers.
Either way, my fingers are crossed, and hopefully we'll have some code-savvy help if I get stuck. (I'm looking at you @rogersb11 and @TheGeekyNimrod )

If it gets Lollipop I'll be shocked as it didn't get kitkat officially. In fact, it didn't even get a jelly bean 4.2.x update from at&t. Now if you mean custom lollipop roms, then I am sure the sgh-i777 will get at least a few.
I'm still hanging around lol. I know CyanideMod isn't updated super frequently but I wanted to try and bring this old dog something that had, well basically everything lol. So many additions that I've really even shocked myself. From shifted cm where I stated the changes I deleted my branches and started over for CyanideMod. I plan to as I mentioned bring at least one Lollipop build to the i777 and of course will give @cyril279 and @TheGeekyNimrod any useful advice that I can in aiding them bring it as well. I'm quite content with CyanideMod at this point so probably won't myself be focused on Lollipop for awhile as I just dumped at least 2 straight months into it LOL. BUT to answer the OP it will indeed see the i777
The biggest thing I think we will face is updates needed for the device trees. I'm sure there will be a few other snags along the way, but the device tree is a must in order for anything to work. I know CM, Carbon, Slim, Omni, and all the rest will eventually update to Lollipop, and when they do, I plan on updating my builds as well. There's not a lot of us maintaining anything for this device, but I think the general consensus is that we will stick around and try to keep this never dying device on par with the rest of em.
i just want to put out a thanks to you guys for keeping it alive. it was a pleasant surprise to end up back on my gs2 and see that there are still great roms to run my 360 on. it was also a great reminder as to why i don't really need the latest and greatest phone to enjoy owning one.

Hopefully you have all seen it by now, but through alpha builds and the genius work of @rogersb11 there are Lollipop builds in the development section now.
