When I bought my Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100, it came with the latest official Android update (Jelly Bean 4.1.2). However, it's no longer compatible with many of the current apps, so I was forced to look for unofficial updates. Earlier this year I flashed it with Lineage OS 15.1 (Android Oreo 8.1), and 1 month ago I flashed it again, this time with Lineage OS 16 (Android Pie 9). I attest that my faithful Galaxy SII works as wonderful, and I'm glad that even though it's an "obsolete" telephone (although very advanced for its time), I can keep it updated.

i got it updated all the way to Lineage 14.1 nightly
the builds for the i9100 are no longer maintained, so one has to build from source if really needed

There are roms up to the latest version 9.0 for it. Very iconic phone,its specs were overpowered for its time and thats why its still good nowadays. I'll surely pick one for my collection

I had this phone from 3 August 2018 to 4 September 2018, stopped charging after 15 days then got a refund. I got 4.5 hours screen-on-time with a new battery which is abysmal. Performance was good (surprisingly) on 2.3.4, 4.0.3 and 4.1.2. Loads of battery packs are available at eBay ranging from 3500mAh to 4800mAh, they increase the phone size but you can get at minimum 10 hours screen-on-time which is similar to the Galaxy Fold. I miss it :( Definitely would get one again (as a secondary phone).
Ratings:
Performance (after tweaking the settings) - 8/10, before - 6.5/10
Battery - 4/10 (, with an extended battery - 8/10)
Camera - 6/10
Design - 9.5/10
Screen Quality - 7/10
Build Quality - 6/10
Value - 10/10 (can't get better phones at this price, 16GB storage is uncommon for phones under £40)
How to get Max Performance:
Disable everything below -
- GPS (Location)
- Sync
- Auto Update in Play Store
- NFC (I9100P)
- Bloatware
- System Sounds
- Vibration
- Notifications
- Antivirus Apps (they are useless)
In Developer Options -
- Enable Force 4x MSAA
- Scroll all the way down to Limit Background Processes and pick No Background Processes (doesn't affect functionality)
- For Window, Transition Animation Scale and Animator Duration Scale choose 0.5x or off for all three options (this speeds up the phone significantly)
- Use an Adblock Browser e.g. Brave
How to get Max Battery Life -
- Keep the brightness all the way down
- Disable Notifications
- Disable Auto-Update Apps
- Disable Bloatware
- Turn off System Sounds
- Don't use Live Wallpapers, use a dark wallpaper as this is an AMOLED display
- I highly recommend a high capacity (3000mAh+) as it really does improve battery but adds bulk to the phone, MBuyNow is the best option IMO.
- Downgrade to Android 4.0.4 or 4.0.3 for the best battery life (Play Services will not update by itself, also saving battery), the ROMS are at the updato website for your specific model
Minimum Rating - 49/70 (70%, 7/10, 3.5 Stars)
With performance improvements - 50.5/70 (72%, 7.2/10, 3.6 Stars)
With an extended battery - 53/70 (76%, 7.6/10, 3.8 Stars)
With performance improvement and an extended battery - 54.5/70 (78%, 7.8/10, 3.9 Stars)
Any questions? I'm here to help :)
