There is an unofficial version of LineageOS (which itself is unofficial) for the Galaxy S II, but don't be surprised if it's pretty rough around the edges.
prefer? I use a phone from 2017, Honor 8. It serves my purpose fine, when it dies or can no longer access most apps I'll replace it. But yours is 12 years old...
Why are you even bothering with a 12 year old phone? There are plenty of budget phones available under $200 and Android 5 won't be any better.
Can we technically do it without any bugs.
Honor 8: is this mobile made in us, uk, korea, norway or china.just asking.
Chinese phone. Huawei's sub brand. Not even sure it is still kicking around since Huawei got the google banstick
Android 5 will likely be of little use to you either; I've had a few customers on that version in recent years having to upgrade because their devices the software updates for it to accept newer SSL certificates. It doesn't say, "bad certificate, continue anyway?", it says "ssl error", end of story.
You could probably get it working, but you might not be thrilled with the end result. It's likely still rough code and not guaranteed to run smoothly or without glitches. And as mentioned, you'll want to check to see if your carrier still supports 3G and for how long. You may need a new phone soon just to have basic functionality like calls and texts.
That's how I'd approach it: a "look, Ma, my 12-year-old phone is running Android 12!" experiment where you'd not worried if things go sideways. I wouldn't dare if this had to be my main phone!
