  1. I need Android Kitkat or higher on my Samsung Galaxy S2 I777 currently running 4.1.2 What is the best and highest upgrade I can install on this phone and where do I find this ROM????

  2. but updating the rom can update the hardware too. the 3g chipset and antenna will evolve to 4g right?

    just joking 😀

    So sad to know cyanogenmod closing down, what would you recommend for s2 the kitkat or lollipop? thd cm11 feels fast and battery saving then cm12 right?

    • Galaxy S2 i9100 doesn’t has 4G/Lte band. It only has WCDMA/3G connectivity and no Rom can give you 4G/LTE option unless it doesn’t have builtin 4G connectivity option.
