Official Android support for microsoft lumia 950xl
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.

2020-04-08T22:50:06+00:00 Agree, we only want an option to.migrate to android that is the only thing we want from Microsoft they never going to use the mobile platform.anyway so why not give us as windows mobile user the opportunity to decide our self what we want to do with our mobile phone. Is just a shame.from Microsoft as a big company who can't even provide us with the solution of the android rom. This is not a big thing to do for developers. So my advise to Microsoft is release it to the user who still have their windows phone.

2020-04-09T03:51:54+00:00 I have to disagree with this; windows phone wasn't a failure. It's a lovely platform specially with a good phone like the Lumia 950XL. It is even better than iPhone and Android OS. We just need to decide whether to migrate to another OS with ROM or to use a modulator enabling us to open all third party applications which were blocked such as whatsapp and others. MS must feel obliged to make this happen for their customers

Make your decision based on the fact that Microsoft will do absolutely nothing. As far as MS is concerned Windows Mobile is dead and buried.
