Epic Reborn: Samsung’s Galaxy S3 and Note 2 run Android 14

Samsung’s legendary Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 devices can run Android 14. It sounds unbelievable as the likes of Galaxy S20 and Note 20 flagships are not eligible for this upgrade. Thanks to a developer who made it possible to install Android 14 ROM on these epic flagships.
A 3rd-party ROM developer (via AndroidAuthority) has posted Lineage OS 21 custom ROMs for Samsung’s Galaxy S3 and the Note 2. These firmware builds bring Android 14 to both smartphones, however, it requires custom ROM flashing, which is a tricky yet risky part.

It’s worth noting that Android 4.4 KitKat was the last major upgrade for Galaxy S3 and Note 2. The devices got a handful of security updates as part of the company’s commitment. However, Android 14 comes as a surprise for our readers who have one of these models in their drawer.To install Android 14-based Lineage OS, you first need to unlock your phone’s bootloader. Once done, you will require a custom recovery like TWRP through Odin or Heimdall, and then install (aka “flash”) this custom ROM through TWRP.Due to its unofficial nature, the build has some bugs, which are not a bad deal. Also, there are some stability issues, and storage encryption is not working. Google Apps are not included in the custom ROM package, needing another app package flashing procedure.
