Tab 2 7inch lolipop

Will Upgrading my samsung tab 2 7inch to stock lolipop (nonlegit way ofcourse since samsung refuses to update it) make it run faster?

At this point likely not because whatever Lollipop custom ROM will be available will still be in beta/nightly

Kitkat?

Official CM11 is all-nightly still, not even Milestones... odd...

 

I would try the latest stable release which is CM10.1.3. It's based on 4.2.2 but from my experience 4.2 is actually smoother then 4.4 on older devices with similar spec to the Tab 2 (such as the Galaxy S2).

Android-Andi's CM12 build looks stable enough
