T-Mobile and AT&T Galaxy S2 Get AOSP Based Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM

Naveen Robsworth | 08 Nov 2014 | ROMs/ Samsung

Android 5.0 Lollipop ROMs based on AOSP are making their way from every corner of the world to multitude of devices. Ever since the Google updated its Android 5.0 Lollipop to AOSP, there is a huge activity going on in the developer forums like XDA where many cooks and chefs are getting their hands dirty to make something awesomely cool for the Android lovers. We have already seen AOSP ROMs for few devices earlier and today it’s time for the T-Mobile and AT&T Galaxy S2 users to taste some lollipop.

Sultanxdaย of XDA has posted the AOSP based Android 5.0 Lollipop ROMs for both the AT&T Galaxy S2 (Skyrocket) and T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (Hercules). But don’t get any ideas of enjoying the swarm of material awesomeness on these builds, they are pretty non-functional except for they’re are booting and the WiFi is working (not sure what anyone can do with just WiFi). However, if you want to try them on your Galaxy S2ย just garb the ROM files and flash them on your devices.

Warning

This guide is intended only for the AT&T and T-Mobile Galaxy S2 variants, not for any other device. Be extra cautious when you choose the ROMsย as flashing wrong onesย might result in a bricked device. You alone are responsible for any consequences that might occur during the process, we shall not be held responsible for any damage to your device.

Prepare Your Device

  • Charge your Galaxy S2ย above 60% battery level to avoid shutdowns during the process.
  • Backup your device storage, Contacts, SMS etc. using Google Sync service or any third-party app.
  • Install a custom recovery preferably TWRP on your Galaxy S2 to flash the ROMs.

  3. Make a clean wipe of the device including cache, dalvik cache, and system partitions.

  6. Similarly, flash the Gapps package.
  7. Reboot the device once everything flashed without errors.

The ROM builds are in early stages and as we said already nothing works except the WiFi which in our opinion is pretty useless unless the other things work. But we hope the builds will be stable with time, so take a look at these builds and share how it looks on your Galaxy S2.
