I'm die heart fan of windows phone specially 950xl device, but unfortunately Microsoft has decided to stop support this platform.

As Microsoft is going to drop support for window 10 mobile as off December 10, 2019, lots of applications will also drop a support for same specially whatsapp. So I recommend that Microsoft should officially release Android rom for lumia devices (mine is 950xl) so that at least windows users can migrate to android easily without  purchasing new android device ("Reusing hardware").

Or is there any way to install android (may be unofficial support) on lumia 950xl so that I can migrate from windows to android after December 10, 2019.

    I already have 2 computers with Windows 10 and don't need another one.  I bought this Microsoft Lumia 950xl about a year ago because I like Windows Phone better than android and much better  than iphone.  My Apps are stopping working 1 by 1, and now Windows Store doesn't show as an app.  Since Microsoft was paid, they should be required to keep the phone that I bought working at least as good as when I bought it.

    It is apparent that Microsoft doesn't care how any of the people, who spent money on their products, are hurt with their actions.  All they care about is how much money they make.  They could keep Windows Phone 10 as it is and not add any improvements and most of us would be satisfied.  But they will make changes that will stop the Apps from working if it means more profit for them.  I will not purchase any other devices or operating systems from them.  Since they say that they will not support Windows Phone 10 any more, I will set my phone to reject any updates so they can't do an update to stop it from working completely.  Which means that it would only work as an online device and my phone and messaging functions would continue to work.  Any Apps that still work would have to keep their servers operating, which probably won't happen.  I should be able to get my Email from Outlook by logging onto the server unless they stop letting anyone log in online without an App even on computers.  I have had a Microsoft email since Windows 98, but if they do this, I can change.  But it doesn't have to be a Microsoft product.  I have avoided Mackintosh and iPhone completely, from their beginning, because they operated exactly the way Microsoft is starting to act.

    Hi Microsoft Team,

    I am very happy user of Lumia 950XL Device,  when i purchased this phone i saved lots of money in monthly salary and took it up on First day when it got released in India. 

    Now its very hard to digest that Lumia 950XL will not support to important apps from Dec'19.

    Requesting to MS Team, please provide solution from your development team about the fixing the issues for Lumia 950XL by building Android or Patches which support all required APPS, so we can continue to use the 950XL.

    Please consider this request on HIGH PRIORITY.

    Please Assist

    Regards

    Microsoft does not and will not develop Android ROMs for any existing device. There is no way, neither official nor unofficial, to install Android on any Lumia device - you cannot install something which does not exist.
