OmniROM Android 5.0 Lollipop for Galaxy S2 I9100 (Download & Install )

If you’re still using a Galaxy S2 or simply wanna play a bit with Custom ROMs, here you’re going to find OmniROM. This build is based on Android Lollipop and brings all its features including Material Design. The Galaxy S2 has so much support because it was a device that made a revolution in the smartphone industry. Samsung sold more than 20 million units worldwide and this was a record breaker at the time. Being quite a popular device, developers have developed and released Custom ROMs for this device and OmniROM is one of the best choices you will find around.

With new releases of Galaxy S line smartphones, Samsung stopped supporting the Galaxy S2. After receiving the Jelly Bean update it didn’t get any more OTA updates from Samsung. Even though you can’t get the OTA updates and official TouchWiz firmware, still you can taste the features of newer Android versions by installing Custom ROMs.

In this post, you will learn step by step how to install OmniROM Android 5.0 Lollipop on Samsung Galaxy S2. The developer of this ROM stated that it was in the early stage but will probably be stable enough to use as a daily driver. Below you will find a link to download the ROM but we do not hold any kind of responsibility for this work. It is developed by other developers and you should check in their thread for the latest updates.

So, if you have made your mind and want to get Android Lollipop on Galaxy S2 by installing Omni ROM, go ahead and read further:

Preparations

• This ROM will work only on Samsung S2 I9100. Go to Settings >> About Device and check your phone model number. Make sure it matches the one mentioned above. Do not try on other devices because you may end up with a bricked device and this is something you won’t like.
• Charge the phone’s battery up to 70% so it will not shut down unexpectedly during the ROM installation. If it does you will get a soft bricked device.
• Root and install a custom recovery on your Galaxy S2.
• To be safe we strongly recommend doing a backup. You can make a Nandroid backup via recovery or simply save your personal files somewhere else.

Warning

If you don’t know what a Custom ROM is you should make a research first. Even though the files we share like ROMs, Recoveries and more are tested if you don’t be careful you may face issues. You should do all this at your own responsibility and do not put the finger on anyone is something goes wrong.
