Iphone 4s ios 7.1.1 hack activation screen?

I bought an iphone 4s from a friend who bought it from a different friend who found it on the street and he tryed to return it and look for the owner and he couldn't and now its mine but i can't get passed the activation lock screen because i need the past owners apple ID and password and i can't get it so is there a way to get pass it? Also I've seen ways to do it but the ways i saw say that once your in you can't use any apps and you can't make a sim card work in it.

It's doing what it's designed to do. Lock out anybody but the rightful owner. Unless you get your hands on the original owner and they remote remove that iCloud account, you've got a pretty paperweight--it'll be nothing more.
One last chance. You can try this. No guarantee if it works or how much it'll cost you. Have fun with that.

The original owner would have report the phone as lost or stolen. The network provider will remotely disable the phone.

Congratulations, you've bought a paperweight.

Nope there's nothing you can do & that's the point.
