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.

    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

    That's why I raised this question. I loved Windows Phone OS (It's much better than Android and iOS) so much that I bought Lumia 950xl as my second device. Earlier I had lumia 720. I really disappointed from Microsoft's decision, not to continue windows phone 10.

    I hope Microsoft Team will understand his users feeling and come up with good solution/plan for his users.

    Now wouldn't it be something to just make a Windows Phone 10 ROM with Android emulator built in? Here is a start:

    Why couldn't Microsoft just release an update to Windows Phone 10 that would allow Android Apps to load to a phone that has that update. I feel that they owe us (all of us that spent our money for a  Windows phone) some effort to keep the operating system running.  I still prefer the operating system and screen layout over Android or iPhone.  Or maybe they just feel that Windows and computers in general are dead as was predicted when cell phones became the way most computer users were expected to start using their cell phones to access the internet instead of computers.  I still prefer to use my computer instead of a cell phone for internet access.  But sometimes I'm not near my computer and need to get on the internet.  If it wasn't for cell phones, Apple probably would not still be in business even though they keep updating the Mackintosh.  Maybe Microsoft should watch what has happened there.
