[Q] Android on WP8 - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a friend who wanted to know if it was possible to put Android on a WP. I told him that it would probably be impossible but thought I'd check to see if I was correct or not.

You're right, at least for now. That requires a bootloader unlock, which we don't currently have. Even once that changes, though (and no idea on what the timeframe for that will be), porting Android won't be easy; custom ROMs are simple by comparison because you can work from the existing firmware. Also, Android will perform worse on the same hardware than WP8 does.

here is only way for Android on Nokia Chinese copy with Nokia case and Android OS with WP skin... cheap (only) 2G phone, dual SIM, base camera 4 MP, front 0,3 MP...

p.s.
i am strongly against android on Nokia phones... i hate android

it's impossible maybe when we unlock the boot loader or when we can root this device we can do that but now it's impossible.

Why does not Nokia Tv show up in the marketplace? My phone is set to appear as a Lumia 800 so it should be available and other Nokia apps are showing.

Well, I have it in my Lumia 710 even though its equipped with a custom ROM.
But could someone tell me where to get a cracked Nokia TV.xap which would work in other Windows Phone 7 devices as well?
Thanks for all this information! Very helpful

[Q] Clone Phones

Well i have recently watched a commercial for some S4 Clones, vendors made it clear that the phone is a clone, but made from the same materiel, same everything [Logo, headphone] and same CPU hence probably a really good clone, now i am looking to buy a Phone now but i dont wanna get screwed over in purchasing one of the clones, So i am looking for ways to know if the phone is clone or the really samsung deal. i have also seen this for the iPhone 5, I will attached the link if anybody request it
Its likely that it would have a different model number and wouldn't actually have the Samsung logo right? I'd remove the battery and check for the Samsung logo and model number at the back

Enable BitLocker device encryption without fancy company policy?

Since we already got Interop Unlock for our Lumias, I was just wondering how can we enable BitLocker on our device? Since all Windows Phone equips a TPM module (it's a mandatory requirement), whole device encryption won't affect performance that much unlike on Android devices that uses software-based encryption (TPM/Hardware-backed Encryption is way faster).

Someone at Windows Central forums got it enabled thou, with Office 365 Trial but I wonder how can we enable by with Interop Unlock... You can see find the thread about that Here: http://forums.windowscentral.com/wi...w-i-successfully-encrypted-windows-phone.html
To mods, if referring links to another forum isn't allowed, you can freely remove it... Thanks
So any ideas?

Nope, to my knowledge the N9500 wasn't locked down, only the other Snapdragons like N950U. Exynos not locked down either of course.
Till this day I thought every Android phone can be rooted very interesting... every day you can learn something new
Not all lg and samung are locked down mostly cause qualcomm wants them that way

There's no development for Demo Phones. These things are rare I suppose. But it seems to be an U model. Aka American Snapdragon Model. Head to the Note9 Kernel and Developments for Snapdragon and attempt to unlock the bootloader and root from there. You'll need a Custom ROM to get Android 10 (Which I don't recommend installing on this phone, as 8.1 allows for so much more customization).
I don't have the option to enable OEM unlock under Developer Options. How can I get it?
Error.
