Cross-ROMing? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted the HTC 8X ROM for my Lumia 820. Is it possible to mix and match OSs ? I mean take an OS out of Lumia and load it onto another device? For that matter, even another Lumia ROM on another Lumia device?
Considering we haven't moved forward a lot in getting a root, how about changing the OS?

As I said to some one else, if you really want android... just sell the phone and buy any HTC with android on it... there's a LOT or custom roms for HTC android devices to fit your taste...

Answering to this: 2nd December 2012, 11:33 AM?
hibernating perhaps?
Bootloader protection blocks all the possibilities of any Android ROM running on a WP7 device... yes the HD2 has the same basic hardware as the HD7, but they don't share the same logic, nor the same OS or bootloader.
I just want to see this "request" on any WP8 device, that would make my day...

Unfortunately at this time, installing another OS on the phones other than what is already there. I'm a little confused with the ATIV 3 device. If you're speaking about the ATIV Tab 3 and not the ATIV S Windows Phone, then this is the wrong forum location.
If you can reply back with some clarification, I'll be glad to help.
Yes, im sorry i cannot quote i m on my phone, but as you said is the ativ tab 3
here you can see it
This one comes with w8 preinstalled but i ... hate ... windows 8. And i wanted an alternative to this software on a tablet that has a really good hardware and a lot of memory and hdd to spare, iknow that dual booting is possible but apparently only with androidx86, thank you for your answers
OK, that's a moderately-cool looking product, but there's a reason we hadn't heard about it here:
This is the Windows Phone 8 forum. That is not a phone!
The general Win8 forum is over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-8-rt/general

But given a response with error

Running Android APK on Windows Phone, current status

I found some old thread about installing APK files on a Windows Phone 8/10 (let's say Lumia 640).
It seems that it was possible to do so, but isn't anymore unless you install a specific verson.
Did I get that right? What's the current status of runnung Android or iOS Apps e.g. a game like HayDay on Windows?
I found this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...apk-installed-unsupported-devices-sd-t3175843
This was found by a Google "last month" search:
https://tunesgo.wondershare.com/windows-phone/run-android-apps-on-windows-phone.html
Is this still valid or is it outdated?
This is all way outdated, Microsoft has already said they wont be adding the android subsystem.
Ah ok. I thought it might still be possible to get an older version on the phone where this still is enabled.
But obviously not.
No. Microsoft removed the Simple android subsystem kernal. Its not possible now

This it not possible anymore. It was possible with certein versions of Windows Phone, but was cancelled in the following versions.

Lumia 521 WP internals

Hello
2 months ago i bought a Lumia 521 for just 24$ in eBay it is great but the last week i got kinda boring and i want to change the device , play with it !! (like get root access , install costum rom etc.)
I started googling for development and installing custom roms in it and every search result shows me WP Internals
-So i installed in my laptop and i want to try now getting root access and installing custom roms and other stuff!
But before i get into the game i want to ask some questions:?:
Q1. I enable root access what after that , how can i get the tweaks that Heathcliff74 is saying in his website!
Q2. Where can i find custom roms for my device! And step by step how to basiclly install them!
---------------
NOTE : I TAKE ALL THE RISKS AND IF YOU TELL ME HOW TO ROOT AND OTHER STUFF YOU DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope there is a good mind that can help me!!
@Heathcliff74
BTW sorry if i am making a duplicate thread or i categorized it wrong!!
Sorry for my bad english is not my mother tongue!!!

Right now, there are no 'working' custom ROMs for Lumia 52X-devices. There is a project underway on XDA to put Cyanogenmod 13 on this device and they have made excellent progress so far, but the WiFi/2G/3G/Bluetooth/Camera don't yet work. They'll likely work eventually, but no idea how long this will actually take. Other than that, nothing else is available to my knowledge. Recommend waiting for now to install unless you absolutely don't need the device.
