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

    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 😞!!!

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

    "Microsoft does not and will not develop Android ROMs for any existing device. There is no way..."

    Such a strong statement that is inacurate. Microsoft will release a Surface device running Android. So, they do Android ROMs... not for the Lumias but they do...

    You  are right,  but I did not think, that it will happen on a worldwide basis. I have resignated and bought a good Android Phone instead. I was very fond of my Windows Phone and has just bought a new one before the message of withdrawal of Windows 10 Mobile.
