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.

    There is no way... unofficial, to install Android on any Lumia device

    Well, Android was successfully installed on a Lumia 52X and 720, so I doubt that there is no way to port Android to a Lumia device

    I guess your understanding of successful differs from mine. If it was that easy and made sense to do it surely someone would have done it already.

    ...dealing with the small icons will make it difficult to enjoying the device high features.

    Well, just upscale the screen to 250-300%. And also, the default settings are 200%

    I too wish if MS reconsider and release an android emulator on Windows Phones to keep using the magnificent Lumia phones.

    There was a thing called "Project Astoria", but it was soon discontinued due to low performance

    I totally agree with you; windows phone is a unique OS and much better than others but what to do when the mother 'Microsoft' decided to abandon her son 😞!!!
