Since the source code for Android Lollipop has been released, would it be possible to port stock Android Lollipop over to this device?
Success!
I hadn't installed Lollipop on my 2012 Nexus 7 (Grouper) because of all the problems I read about but I decided to try it through using Multiboot and keeping KK 4.4.4 too. I now have Lollipop running, including most of the apps I have running in KK, without any apparent problems. I initially installed Lollipop as the secondary ROM. After Lollipop is installed as the secondary ROM, it takes a while for the boot process to complete the first time, it seems to take forever. In order to unlock and root Lollipop I had to make it the primary ROM and used Nexus Root Toolkit running on Windows 8.1 to unlock and root Lollipop just as I had with KK. Now I can alternate from KK to Lollipop and vice-versa.
This is for Nexus 4 but works the same for Nexus 7 if the correct Lollipop version is used:

Hi
Did yolu installed also kernel for lollipop? Or are you using KitKat kernel? I tried to install as you described but lollipop always directs me to recovery.
asking same qeustions as hugo_bjk , before i updated to LOL' from 4.4.4 i tried to multirom various 5.0 roms but none worked all went to recovery as hugo_bjk says, im now 5.0 and performance for me is better then 4.4.4 anyways and now i do have kali nethunter installed via multirom ontop of paranoid saber remix:laugh:
I also installed 5.0 kernel but no go. Still directs me to recovery.
success
Âfter swapping internal and lollipop roms lollipop boots with success.
I've been away for a few days and just read the postings since I did the OP. I installed a Lollipop kernel with the kexec-hardboot patch and made Lollipop primary. Lollipop is working well, so far.

Galaxy S Andvanced is on what android right now??
I dont understand what do u mean??
Update for samsung galaxy s advance had stopped , this device is running Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) out of the box but it can be officially updated to Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) , But the developers had made it possible for users to taste the android version KITKAT (4.4)and android version LOLIPOP(5 - 5.1 ) so basically till now the this device has got unofficial updates till LOLIPOP and because of the phone hardware too old and only few dev`s working on this device i don`t see any further update to this device.
Hello,
I have just read that Android was the most vulnerable OS in 2016, and I feel concerned as a user of Z1 Stock ROM (based on Lollipop 5.1.1) version 14.6.A.1.236, released in 2015.
I was wondering if updating official rom from Sony with security updates released by Google on Android 5.1.1 is a project that the community could do?
I haven't found yet any tutorial to do it on xperia or any "obsolete" smartphone.
I know security is a main purpose of Jaguar Rom (by @optimumpro) but I would like to keep an Android Stock base (for camera & stability).
Thank you.
will we have a ROM based on Android 7.x Nougat?
