    Cyanogenmod is still releasing ROMs for the Galaxy SII (Released May 2011) http://get.cm/?device=skyrocke...

    There are surely other phones from that era getting updates, too. You'll also find Slimkat and other ROMs for it that are still supported and updated frequently.

    Is there full-system adblocking in Cydia? It's an honest question because I haven't touched iOS since I moved to Android.

    From the same time frame, the encore (B&N Nook Color) is 100% supported on CM10.2 (or Android JellyBean 4.3):

    One of the first Android tablets (and possibly the first to be worth a damn), the original Galaxy Tab, is upgradable to 4.2 (with 4.3 on the way):

    You said that you want feature AND updates and therefore chose Android. That's a contradiction. Be honest: most Android phones (except Nexus devices) won't get updates and when they get updates (after many moons) the update itself is often outdated.

  8. not so fast by Charliemopps · · Score: 1 · on Wireless Carriers Put On Notice About Providing Regular Android Security Updates

    Usually, that’s not often because the hardware vendor has thin [profit] margins. Whenever Google updates Android, engineers have to modify it for each phone, chip, radio card that relies on the OS. Hardware vendors must make a unique version for each device and they have scarce resources. Engineers are usually focused on the current version, and devices that are coming out in the next year.

    That's pretty funny, because there's a small group out there that manages to provide nightly updates for almost EVERY PHONE ON THE MARKET for free... http://get.cm/?type=nightly

    It seems to me like a carrier could simply let you switch to CM10 and get your updates from them as long as you agree that their updates are your problem and not the carriers... oooh... wait... the problem isn't updating Android... the problem is updating all their adware revenue bullshit to work with android, not the OS. I forgot. Sorry!

    The trouble isn't finding a phone that has current updates. Everyone could get a Nexus phone from Google and be done with it, but they don't.

    The original Samsung Galaxy S phones are capable of handling Android 4.2, thanks to the latest CM nightlies. It isn't the fastest, but surprisingly quite usable, and released in July of 2010.

    This is FAR BEYOND what Samsung would deign to support, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the phone. But because Samsung would rather people buy their new products, they've engineered planned obsolescence through lack of support. And now, because of this unsavory, ridiculous law, manufacturers have both a technical and legislative solution to ensure consumers keep "buying" their phones or whatever else in the future.
