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 should be able to connect the Band2 to my Galaxy S9+ for notifications and Microsoft Windows 10X should be made available for the Lumia 950 Series. I have them running Windows on ARM64 V1909 no problem!

    A source close to Microsoft indicated that the Surface Neo is being paused to realign resources to address the most urgent customer needs. The Android-based Surface Duo is still on track to ship in 2020.

    Microsoft has also invested resources into developing Windows 10X, which was released as an emulator in February. Enterprising users figured out a way to put it on a single-screen device shortly thereafter.

    According to ZDNet, single-screen Windows 10X devices are now the priority, including potentially traditional clamshells and two-in-ones. The reason may have a lot to do with the lukewarm reception for Windows 10 S.

    It is really encouraging to know that Lumia fans are still optimistic although MS are not paying any attention to all reviews in this regard, not even a courtesy response . If MS don't want to reconsider ending their support they should release the open source windows phone OS to enabling developers start building the bridge between windows and Android.

    Me too will not abandon my Lumia 950XL. I just need reuse all or most of apps which stopped working. Hope someone from Microsoft will listen and be able to act

    If MS truly want to believe that Windows Mobile is dead, then the best move would be to release it open-source. Developer community can pick up the work and progress it further. It is a very good OS, certainly much better than android, so burying it and forfeiting all the work done on it is the worst thing that could happen

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