Closing this thread as my mechanism no workie anymore to get the super new packages. You'll have to wait
Hi all,
I recently gave the Twitter world a tease of Skype UWP running on my Lumia 1520 on Redstone (WHICH IS THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT. If you're on 10586 or Release Preview.. It's not going to work) and promised to share with the world. Without further ado, I present..... PACKAGES.
I'll be updating this regularly with links to the official Skype UWP packages that support W10M.
Instructions:
Before downloading the appxbundle, go to Settings -> Update & Security -> For developers and enable Developer mode (may work with Sideload apps, but I never tried). Copy the package to the phone and open it from the File Explorer. Install then enjoy. You can also upload the package from the Device Portal also, if you feel well inclined to.
NOTE: You MUST be running a Redstone build. If you try this on a non-Redstone build and you complain that it doesn't work, I'm going to steal your soul.
If you are installing via File Explorer, wait for it to complete even though it looks like nothing happened. Using the Device Portal is easier because you see the entire progress of the upload and install.
Releases:
Skype v.11.6.72
Skype v.11.6.63
Skype v. 11.6.56
Skype v. 11.6.36
Skype v. 11.6.26
Enjoy!
Reserved for something #1
Reserved for something #2. Dunno what for yet
It's working great on my 640! It's WAY better than the wp8 version!

Yeah, the performance is BEAUTIFUL. One thing you may have to watch out for is that sometimes when you open the app, it will sit at the splash screen then die. Other than that, the performance is just awesome.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you
Is Beautiful app , thank's bro, !
Unable to install on my Lumia 950 XL running the latest build 14356. I am receiving the error "Can't Install app - There's a problem with this app. Check the package, or contact the person who gave it to you for help." when I tap on the file in the file explorer. I have tried uninstalling the old skype app, restarting, verifying my build and that the device is in developer mode and even tried re-downloading the app package. Any other ideas?

Latest build, L930, same error.
Try using the Device Portal and uploading the app to your phone from a desktop. I'm also running 14356 on my 1520.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work either. Same error message.
Works great so far. Thanks
Just a heads up, you can also install the app on your PC. It's so much better than the official preview. Still needs A LOT of polishing though, the hamburger button is making me crazy.

Hmmm do you have any screenshots?
I have an error message when i launch Skype
Edit1 :it's work now
Probably, there should be a big red warning, like
YOU CAN'T DOWNGRADE THIS TO A STABLE BUILD
So, I've successfully installed the app, but it crashed constantly. So, I uninstalled it and tried to install a stable skype from the store. But, Store tried to install skype preview instead of stable skype, and it obviously can't. It just hangs on "Starting download" or "Error, see details", and store now keeps showing me 0x80240024 or 0x8013153b for almost everything - it can't search for any apps, can't show anything but "Home", etc. Skype sticks in download queue forever and can't be removed from here (reboot doesn't help).
Edit: turns out that the store app is still functional, except that an empty entry with only "error, see details" is now always present in download queue in store app, and I have 2 entries of skype preview in all apps list, one of which is pending. Still can't downgrade to stable version though.
Edit2: Skype preview is much more stable after reinstall, but doesn't display my big chats (>40 people). Looks like the bug which was here since the very first messaging + skype app, when the app crashed trying to open that chat, and in later versions it just didn't show it. Microsoft, do something with that, it's a shame :/
What builds does this work with?
Is it supposed to work on the production build (non-insider) build. (.318)?
I'm confused on what the redstone builds are. Thanks!

Redstone builds are in the Insider Fast and Insider Slow. Release Preview and Production are on the TH2 branch.
Thanks man
So, after install, I attempted to uninstall, which appeared to work as expected. However, when attempting to download the official release of Skype, I get an error; additionally, the start screen shows that it is trying to install Skype Preview, which is obviously incorrect.
Is there a workaround here?
It's great. Fast and looks good. I only have one problem with it. Can you guys write in group conversations with this app? I can't.
Hello people. My device is not listed in DEVDB options, so I must have to create this thread instead a DEVDB project. If it is wrong, please advice me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm creating this thread to give us more space to create a ROM for our device, like a step-by-step to things we have to do or not. I'll edit this thread with more details when I have more time, but for now, thats what we have done, and I think we need to do:
Root (Thanks to Chainfire)
Custom recovery (thanks to Shreps)
Choose a kitchen to manage the ROM
Discover kernel options
Choose apps to add/remove
A custom app to manage various phone settings, like kernel options, battery settings, and others
Edit build.prop to get right device management
Edit boot.img to have unsecure boot
Help me to add or remove things to the list above, to have a structured plan to build the whole ROM (boot, recovey, system), because last time I manage a ROM was a long time ago, I think about 2010 (was on Xperia X2), and was only for me (my "project" wasn't public). From that time for actual days, I don't manage/create nothing "solid" and structured anymore... And I'm sure all things have changed/updated/died/etc...
To help start familiar with new kitchens (the last was DSIXDA Kitchen), I have choose SuperR's Kitchen. I try to use it inside Cygwin, but it gives me an error while opening, I'm investigating this. So, I setup a virtual machine with Ubuntu in my house, and I have remote access to it from my work. In this VM, I setup the kitchen and (after a time to setup the right Java) it is running fine.
So, let's go, people. I'll edit this post as news are coming.
[UPDATE]What I have found:
If "Google Photos" is removed, then Gallery don't crop wallpapers, or adds a image to a contact;
Titanium Backup can't uninstall/integrate some apps and updates. It says "apk not found". I'm trying to use Link2SD;
SuperSU "lose" the configuration, forcing me to remove the apps I added, then run the app again. I'm looking for this
If you remove "Theme Center", you can't change wallpaper and Lenovo Home gives an error!
If you remove "Google App", "Now Launcher" gives errors about force close.
If you remove LenovoID, Settings force close when try to enter "accounts".
If we integrate "Google Play Services" and hard reset the phone, it force close at second stage of first registration.

I randomly found this thread and noted that you are facing this issue with TB being unable to uninstall some apps. I had the same issue with my device. If you are rooted, navigate to /Cust/Channel/Preinstalled/apps folder (sometimes the "channel" folder may not exist) from your file explorer, you will find the apks for the apps that TB fails to find apk for. Remove the APKs that you don't need and/or move them wherever you feel is right for them, all set

Yes, that seems to be the case for LP and MM factory images that have this folder, it is a TB limitation even on my device, unless I am running CM or AOSP based ROMs hope the workaround helps

Do not spam at XDA or you won't get any help. Search an appropriate thread to make your question AFTER reading all posts from there.
Here isn't the appropriate thread.
Why did the OP marked [kernel] if there's not a kernel available here? That's not fare.

Has anyone tried PAOSP Custom Rom Android 10 for z2 force? I have seen this zip file on mirror lollinet in Nash custom rom section.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/custom/posp/
it seems to be flashable zip modified at 2019-Sept-09. I had a little chit chat with the founder of this project today. He replied by saying he had no idea who made this unofficial build for nash and said that we don't back unofficial builds except the phones we have officially released on their website.
I wanted to gave it a shot but that modem issue which has been all going for past couple of months NO baseband imei no turning back etc Stopped :crying: me from flashing it.
If anyone has tried please do share your experience. anyway I have a [XT1789-03] {Sprint} variant
I am downloading it. I will see what failures it has. I also use the sprint version

Both of the builds in the folder were made by @erfanoabdi well known guru of rom's. They work, I actually tested both builds for him after he made them. He's over on telegram if you want to join his group and get all the most current up to date methods, or message him here.
If you want to check out the android 10 official gsi image on the phone, you can download it directly from google developer and see what android 10 has to offer as well, I have it on my phone. Although over on his telegram group you'll get all the info if you want to check out his build of it, a minor variation of the actual official Android 10 GSI. No real issues to report, on Android 10 other than missing hardware keys at the bottom which can be enabled via a build.prop edit.
Again, I would suggest you join his telegram group if you want all the info or if you know what you're doing check out the Android 10 official gsi direct from Google. I am always one to try everything and if it breaks, so be it. I'll fix it, but there was literally zero issues with flashing it as an img file in twrp.

I was looking at the Google developer page for the Android 10 GSI's. I ran the code "adb shell getprop ro.treble.enabled" and it came back as false. The web page says not to continue since the phone isn't compatible. I was under the impression that the Z2 Force is A/B compatible.
So, how did you go about installing it on your phone?
Thanks for any info and assistance.
