Even though it’s been over a month since Google rolled out Android 13 on the stable channel, the update is officially only available on a handful of phones. But since the company has also uploaded the Android 13 source code to AOSP, the aftermarket development community has released custom ROMs based on Android 13 for quite a few devices. Earlier this month, developers on our forums released Android 13 custom ROMs for the Galaxy S7, Galaxy S8, and Galaxy Note 8. The ancient Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II are now getting the same treatment.
XDA Recognized developer html6405, who released an Android 12 custom ROM for the Galaxy S III earlier this year, is back with an unofficial build of LineageOS 20 based on Android 13 for the 2012 flagship. In addition, the developer has released a similar build for the iconic Galaxy Note II. If you’re still rocking one of these devices, you can now try out Android 13 by downloading the unofficial LineageOS 20 release from the links provided below and following the instructions in the post to install the ROM.

Note that the unofficial LineageOS 20 builds for the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II are early alpha releases, so you might encounter some issues. The developer notes that a few features, like NFC, Bluetooth audio in phone calls, network monitoring, and SD cards, don’t work on the current builds. However, most other features should work as expected.
