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 think Microsoft urgently need to re-evaluate their position on the mobile Windows future. It is an amazing OS, light years ahead of the Android cr*p, yet Microsoft decided to fold and play by its tune thus lowering its own quality bar??

    Lumia 950XL in 2020 still feels like a just-released high-end phone. It must not be abandoned! In fact I think it should be relaunched on the market, probably with some minor mods only.

    I do NOT need Android on my phone, only some of the apps that run on it. Unfortunately some devs (most, actually) have released only for the iOs/Android pair.

    Isn't it possible to have some sort of internal Android emulation similar to how Apple did with their apps in the late 1990s when they switched from PPC to Intel?

    Amazing. There is a hope after all 😁. What you are saying; there is a big chance in the near future to deploy Android or Ubuntu-touch or any other OS onto Lumia 950XL. Great news. Please keep us posted.

    Hi all,

    found Android build 6 months ago and worked but camera and sound no joy.  So waiting for a new build from someone in the know soon !

    Irony for me is, after support for Product withdrawn like this, I will never buy another Microsoft device.  Also discovered that Whatsapp back-ups can be moved to Android but then need a conversion utility run on them, so Android version can utilise !

    Hello 

    I too love my Lumia 950XL and hate the idea of putting it to sleep. Unlike MS I will not abandon my Lumia. 

    Win10 on Arm may work but dealing with the small icons will make it difficult to enjoying the device high features. 

    Has anyone succeeded to deploy Android or Ubuntu-touch or any other OS onto the Lumia 950XL?
