Nokia Lumia 1520 Android ROM - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

Any ways to install Windows Phone on a android device

Got this idea tonight , I was thinking about this and im sure that this as been done before , is there anyways to install windows phone on an android device such as Samsung Galaxy s. Also are there some restrictions that could make this not able to do so.
If someone knows any thread or tuts this would be apreciated.
Thanks guys
windows
till now.........we cant flash windows7 os on Samsung galaxys............why u want to switch over android........which is best os in the world.
windows for smartphone came and almost gone, nobody even noticed. Android is amazing and best.

Because windows isn't open source, like android, I think that it impossible to port it to other devices.

Not impossible, it's been ported to HD2. And other phones I believe but i know for sure Windows 7 was not meant to be on HD2
I hate windows phone os
I don't think he was asking or opinions of the OS. I think he was inquiring to see if it was possible. I to would like to try this to see or myself and not take others word for it. I will search for a solution and update this thread with what I find.
Edit: It seems that it is not possible currently. However, there are developers that are working on a solution to that problem The main problem is the hardware that was not intended for Windows that is equipped to run Android OS. Hopefully there is spark at some point. There is a lot of talk though that Microsoft is trying to bully their way into having smartphone manufacturers load thee OS and allowing the consumer to be ale to dual boot. That article can be see over at many tech blogs including Znet.
Till now, there is not any known method to do this. Android OS is the best OS in the world. Almost every application is available for android. Also it is most customisable. I would recommend you to stay with Android and install WP launchers to get windows phone like stuff/looks
It is interesting which ideas we`ve got :good:
In my opinion:
Microsoft is something for my PC @home, and Android have to run on my device ...
One of my friends have one nokia with WP7 ,looks nice and works good ,he says - but for me nothing gets about Android , but it is only my opinion :angel:
To ask the thread:
I have never heard of any way to flash WP 7/8 on Android devices ...
Only device that got WP7 and did not run it natively were the Toshiba TG01 and the legendary HD2
So sorry, not happening as it's closed source
if its possible on hd2 its possible on devices using same hardware as of windows phone trying to develop a boot loader which helps wp7 bot on our android , any who one can help us with it ???

´cause lagdroid is only for geeks who got a lot of free time
it is always nice to running multiple OS on one phone,i think we need new bootloader same exactly like cotulla has done for HD2,this sounds good to start request to cotulla,i heard he was working for MAGLDR bootloader in HTC M7,let us see
I just write all my own apps for my WP... Android OS is a little clumsy and I think it's ugly... let me know if anyone finds out how to do this... I'd buy a galaxy in a minute if it weren't for the crappy OS.

Is there a way to install lumia phone's os to android devices like nokia or other device

[Q] Nokia Amber on ativ s?

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.
Sent from my Nokia 521 using XDA Windows Phone 8 App
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.

[Q] Nokia 1320 - Question

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.

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.

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.

Android Apps on Idol 4s Windows

Does anyone know if this can be done? I've done some searching and it seems there's a way for Lumia phones but not ours. If anyone knows anything different please let me know.
If I remember correctly, only certain Lumia phones were ever supported and the project was discontinued a while ago.
