Wasn't ment to thank you... If you think playing games on your effin phone at the "low" resolution of 800x480 is bad then you might have forgot that this is a phone, not a game console. Besides it still runs the games just fine. Also no need to be so offensive to others, especially if you're stuck with this "old rusty device."

Anyway if Codworkx feels it's time for s2 'to die' it's his decision and we have to respect it. After all, he has done a lot for this device already of his own free will.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
You might have missed it, but there are a ton of phones out which beat the s2. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
It's not 2 years old, it has been 20 months since it was released (2 May 2011), add six-seven months until it was available by all carriers/markets etc, considerate that 40 million didn't bought SGS2 from date one. SGS2 is widely used for a year and something.

That's for sure but how many phones do have a better battery life? I have a 2000 mah in my S2 and battery life is surely better than a Sony Xperia T, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. And camera is also better ;). For that kind of performance it's a great battery life.

I wish that the S4 would be an AOSP device... /dreammode on

I accidentally thanked you again lol. Anyway, please tell me your point via pm if you feel that I didn't get it. Also you're one to call people kids, seeing as you're the one upset over the low quality of gaming... But yeah to quote you "I don't care".

Yes, the s2 has been on the market for a while and it isn't the best device out there anymore, but it's still a decent device. Also even though Codworkx is probably the best developer we have, he's not the only one. Him leaving us gives more room for others to step up. Of course, it may be that no one steps up which could make jb 4.2 the last version of android we get.
[Galaxy S II General] lerkin:
I mistakenly bought this phone 1 month ago (poor me), because I thought there never will be any problem with samsung and cm. I love cm since my p500, than sgs1. But now I realize, that Samsung probably will never release their freaking exinos' sources, and developers go from i9100 to more reasonable devices. I decided too, that I will never buy exinos' and samsung's device anymore. I will wait for next nexus (present one is pathetic with lame amount of storage, fragile body) or X phone from motorolla, because I know, that they will be supported very well by cm's developers.

Just my crying.

Now I am on cm10, because I can't tolerate that ugly 4.1.2 TouchWiz with unexplaindable battery drain (nice final release Samsung, huh. Even leak was much better).

[Galaxy S II General] bazzag:
Who cares if the S2 is not a high-end device anymore, it's still a pretty capable device that handles everything I throw at it. It might not have a high res screen, but it's still good (IMO) for a 4.3 inch screen, and not too hard on the battery.

Much respect for codeworkx and the rest of the CM team for their work, it's their decision if they decide to stop development for the I9100. CM10.1 is almost perfect for me apart from a few minor glitches, so thanks for that.

One more thing, some people in here are just trying too hard to impress the devs I think. Agreeing with someone is one thing, blindly trolling those who disagree is another. Just...stop, minions.

if i would go in a stor TODAY any compare my s2 to all the other phones, its still under the top 5 (out of 100+).

and if you would have listened to codeworkx u would know that for exp. the s3 ist laggy as **** and he hate`s it.

so tell my why again is my s2 1994 ?

Oh c'mon....

i9100 is indeed old (and a little bit rusty in some cases), someone just said, and I agree, that development efforts should be now directed towards newer (and more attracting) devices. I'm on the same frequency, mate...

This anyway doesn't mean that cm team will go house by house destroying everyone's handset or that you should destroy it by yourself.... If you wanna keep using it, or you can't afford a new shiny one, you still can; you'll just be "limited" to android 4.2.1 (or whatever it'll be). Considering what Samsung gave us it's not such a limitation (to me).

No one is here saying that an old phone HAS to be replaced, maybe someone can say that it SHOULD be time for replacement.

If you think about it it's the same for cars: an old car it's just old, plain and simple, but that doesn't mean you outta buy a new one.

I agree that cars get old slower than phones but that's just the way it is, my friend.

Fact is...phone makers are so caught up in topping one another in terms of specs...that hardware has far outpaced the software at this point. Which is why our 2ish year old phone still runs the latest OS with ease...and just as smoothly as phones that are less than 6 months old.

High end games? Well I have a gaming console for that....any games on my phone are there to kill time while im taking a crap...or while sitting in a boring meeting at work....not to wow myself with Halo 14 on a 4-5 inch screen.

lets be fair - from their prospective, sammy supports the phone by releasing updates for it (recent JB). in fact, they are better in that regards compared to the most other manufactures. the fact that they are totally unfriendly to the 3rd party developers can not be used to support claims that they don't support the phone for their customers.

nobody (officially) said that they will be releasing *complete* sources (or supporting 3rd party devs) beyond what GPL forces them to do. yes, they played "great" marketing PR to get community into believe they will be super friendly to devs but failed to fullfill. it's pure (nasty) business to get more sales.

Is the actually overall experience from the Nexus 4 cm 10.1 so much better compared to the galaxy s2 ? Sure we have some glitches like camera flash exit bug and so on, but thats it or? Maybe someone with both devices can compare the actually state.
[Galaxy S II General] thracemerin:
Yes, the experience is better on the N4, but you have to remember that the N4 is a quad core 1.5 ghz processor and the S2 has a dual core 1.2 ghz so even if both were fully working you would expect that the N4 would have better performance. Any AOSP device will have fewer (not necessarily none) of the small glitches you mentioned and they will always have fully working butter, etc...
[Galaxy S II General] Connecter:
Thanks for your answer! Sure the N4 have quad core and a bigger screen but also more pixel to render it. Sure the 4 cores of the CPU can render a website faster or the newest game run more fluid, but the experience in the stock android menus and on the launcher must be equal or? More fluid as fluid? I hope you understand what I mean. I often thing we are beefing on a high level. Sure it will be fine to have more sources from Samsung, but overall we have a nice device. Often I see other devices or other GS 2 and I thing OMG, never see such lagging menus for a long time!

There are many better devices than the i9100 by now. The most important reason, why the N4 is no question for me, is that there is no sd-slot.
