Hi everybody, I am new on WP8 forums so I say sorry if my question could be stupid..but since the ativ s can now be customed with .csc files, is it possible to port the famous nokia amber update on ativ s? And nokia apps?
I admit that I don't know in how does a nokia amber update is different from a normal GDR2 update (I mean, if it's just different in .csc file or in the signed system)..If someone who digged in WP8 roms of different devices can clarify me some dark points of my knowledge, It would be a great thing
thank you
Amber is a Nokia firmware update.

The amber update is very device and hardware specific. Simply "slapping" the update on an Ativ S wont make it work as the hardware inside is different and the drivers would not work.Adapting the software to not only be able to install but also actually *work* on an Ativ S would be nearly impossible.

Has anyone attempted to port glance to the Samsung ATIV S?
I was wondering this myself although I would imagine there are firmware issues that would make the whole thing a bit of an ordeal.
The problem is that for now there isn't a deep knowledge of windows phone 8..somethig is slowly moving now, but it's a recent thing, and we have lack of developers (where is the Dark Forces Team?). The few ones who are working on WP8 are really really good, they are doing their best and some results are coming out. But till now I think there isn't enough knowledge to answer your question. If it's something specificly hardware-related probably no..
This should be possible when real custom roms are available.
As the bootloader of the Ativ S isn´t hacked so far there isn´t any chance to do that...
So, I've been lurking here for a while and noticed that there seems to be a way to flash the Android boot loader on a Samsung Ativ S (not sure that project is finished yet either). Would that apply to the T899M version of the phone or just the i8750? Also, is interop-unlock available to the T899M?

Speaking as the person (well, one of the two people) who developed the interop-unlock, and who has a t899m, yes of course it works. It works on all Samsung WP8 devices.
No idea where you get the bootloader idea from, though. So far as I know, nobody has managed any such thing yet.
Thanks for the reply.
There is a thread about the idea in the Development forum, and I figured that it wasn't complete yet, but was wondering if the idea would apply to both Ativ S models.

This is a phone I am highly considering to try as my first Windows Phone. I am going through cricket and wanted to know if anyone has actually updated to 8.1 from stock 8 OS ?
Also how does office perform on this phone ?
I am completely knew to WP of course but seen a thread to "unbrand" the phone. I am assuming this means to remove carrier bloat-ware and have a clean OS installed.

I didn't see that thread , but yes normally it means this will remove bloatware. (not that yyou really need it because all bloat-ware can be easy removed)
with the "preview for developers" app from the store you can easy update too wp8.1 , or just wait abit because MS is rolling out the update "cyan" for nokia's now ( not all but they will follow fast)
Office performs real fast ( but this is a personal opinion )

Nokia 1320 Question
Hi,
Is there a thread that deals with hacking/unlocking and roming of the Nokia Lumina 1320.
I love the phone but having only 4Gb of memory is killing me. If I could get two more gigs I would be happy. If I could get a custom rom I would be even happier
Thank you for any help and advice,
Z

Right now, we don't have a way to hack/unlock any Lumia devices other than the 920 (only with JTAG currently). Efforts to unlock other Lumia WP8 devices will be difficult as Nokia has made changes to the phones themselves that make the process of hacking even harder.

I just updated my Lumia 1320 to Windows Phone 8.1 and it is working good. This weekend I will try to configure VPN, which was not available in 8.0

What provider do you have ? And did you upgrade via OTA or dev preview?

Hey Dreamer3kx,
Sorry for the late response I forgot to update my email so I am just seeing your message it has been a while since I have been here.
I am sure by now you know the answer(s) to you statements, yes 8.1 does but we still have not gotten 8.1 which is what actually brought me here today I came across a article from another site I'm part of wpcentral .com the article was "if you are on Cricket with Nokia 1320 and you want win 8.1 here you go". This is the article http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515453 did you see it? Have you updated your pone?

I gained more space on my Lumia 1320 and Lumia 640 XL in upgrading to Windows 10 Mobile. Also it is not the final Version of Windows 10 Mobile, just the Insider Preview, it is running well and I do not have any big Problems with it. With Windows 10 Mobile you can select to install Apps on your SD Card and so you keep the Phone Memory free for other things.

Last time I checked a few years ago, there were instructions here on how to root a nokia lumina 1320 but ONLY if it had windows 8.1 and above, not for 8.0 which is what I have. The phone was purchased 2nd hand so needs to be reset anyways. My questions are this:
Is there a way to backup the phone in case of a problem with rooting?
I will have to then install 8.1-is that still available for install?
Once that is done I have to find the program that was developed her for rooting the 1320 that has 8.1 win installed.
Any solutions to these steps with links showing where to get the program is much appreciated. Thanks for reading and any assistance.

Has this changed since you last posted on this point?
Hello,
I was wondering if anybody has made an android rom that can be flashed onto an SD card and run on a nokia lumia 1520, I've gotten sick of the lack of apps on WP8 but i really like the size and specs of my phone and would love to try out android
So if anyone knows of a devolper that has done one for my phone or knows how I can tweak one to suit it would be great!
Cheers, Evilangel984
No android on windows phone
Please search before posting.
This question already asked a lots of time.
There is no any Android ROM for any Nokia Lumia Devices.
At this time we can not flash Lumia devices with any ROM, Even WindowsRT-NT.
please close the thread.

What about this hxxp://fullandroid.org/nokia-lumia-930/ it says about installing android 6 on on Nokia Lumia 930
Ok thxs its a shame boot loader is locked. Think I read somewhere about windows 10 update then there's away to load apks from the app store
So I'm screwed when it comes to running apks from google on this Nokia 930
NEVER!!!!

Closer to Android on Lumia 930 with the release of WP internals
Are we closer to see Android (Oreo) to be ported now that the WP Internals 2.3 version has been released?
was there any success with this?
have one lumia 930 which I no longer use and want to try android on it (if possible)
reports of windows 10 for ARM

There were reports about running W10 on ARM on an 830. How to contact the devs?
I'd like to develop a ROM for it but currently I am working on my midterm exams. I also tried to build some ROMs for my Android devices (Galaxy Tab E SpreadTrum), but failed twice, the third time I mistakely made a recovery for it. If someone adds a detailed guide how to prepare the env., get the device drivers for the sensors etc. If someone is willing to give me some extensive knowlegde or at least a source for the knowledge I'll do it. Alternatively for a faster development you can alert the devs (They've probably noticed this because of the 830 hacks that allow to run W10 for ARM instead of Windows Mobile.).
I was also wondering whether there has been any update on this?
I have seen a couple of links to information that I consider suspicious. For example, there was this link to rooting the 930:
httxs://howto-android.com/how-to-root-the-nokia-lumia-930/
However, it refers to using an Android tool so how is this going to work on a Windows phone? If I am going to do this, then I want to use a method that makes sense, has been tested and is reliable.
I'm at the juncture now where I either need to think about replacing the phone battery or buying a new phone. For replacing the battery to be worthwhile in the long term I would need to replace Win10 with Android. Otherwise, the New Nokia 6 2018 looks reasonable at the budget price level that I am restricted to these days. On the other hand the 930 has been a reliable phone hardware wise and has a good camera, and I think there is still life in it, which is why I am very interested in the answer to this question. If there is an Android ROM for it, then I am eager to give it a go.
