Galaxy tab 3 will never get a update to 5.0 official maybe you will see it in a unofficial way like CM 12 or so.
I am glad I never bought my tab3 7 as it came with my mobile,the limitations it has compared to my S4 are huge.
Any roms for N5120 newer than Android 5.0 with S-pen working?

I'm new to flashing ROMs... originally rooted my S5 in 2016, but am just now getting around to flashing a rom. My phone runs on Lollipop 5.0. I'm concerned that the hardware will no well support ROMs based on Android 10, 11 & 12 - which is what I'm seeing everywhere.
1. If I flash the newer versions on LineageOS, will they work correctly on my phone?
2. Can I still use ROMs based on Lollipop 5.0 - If so, where can I find them?
Thanks!
Hi everyone! A long time ago i've heard that it's not possible to port older android version on newer kernel, however it seems strange, since major kernel version stay the same(3.x). I've tried myself sometime ago(i have some exp in porting firmwares, but i've ported custom ROM of same version) but got bootloop(from 6.0 to 4.2). Have anyone got some success in porting older android version?
There have been many cases of newer versions of Android being ported from a device that can run it. For example, Android 8 has been ported to the Galaxy S6 from the A8, and Android 6 has been ported to the Galaxy Note 3 from the Note 7. In both of these examples, the ROMs have been a port of the Samsung firmware with all the UI but modified to work on the phone.
However, on the Galaxy S5, the only port ROMs I've seen are Marshmallow, even S8-based TouchWiz ROMs are still based on Marshmallow. Marshmallow is still a relatively new version, but there will come a time where eventually support will die out just like KitKat and soon Lollipop.
The question I am asking is whether it is possible to port a Samsung firmware of a newer Android version to the Galaxy S5. If so, what steps would need to be taken? If not, why?
