HOWTO: Install Project Astoria (Android) on non-supported devices [only lumias]

[Sorry, but this method does not work anymore ]
Hello,
if you really want to install Android apps on your phone, but your phone is not supported, this is the right place (only lumias)
1. First, go to Settings/Update & security/For developers and turn on Developer mode
2. Now, download and deploy via Windows Phone Power Tools (link, if you still do not have this tool) this useful tool.
3. Run Root tool, click "Yes", "Lumia Registry Editor"
4. Check "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "String", in "Path" write
Code:
SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
and change this keys:
Code:
PhoneFriendlyName = Lumia 730
PhoneHardwareVariant = RM-1040
PhoneManufacturerModelName = RM-1040_1081
PhoneModelName = Lumia 730
(if you want, you can save original keys to notebook or .txt file)
5. Now, restart your phone and check updates. You should have avaible update "Developer Enchancements"
6. Wait for download complete, and install it (5-10 min.)
7. Done! You can sideloading (via adb) Android apps
You can back to original keys if you saved them in 4. step
Below are useful links to articles that I recommend you read after you install Project Astoria

Enjoy!

Why not? Do you see, when you change the keys, available updates?
I admit, I testing it on 240, but I think that it should also work on 512

Is a know bug. Is not working on 512 .

Let us hope that it'll work in the next build

Didn't work for me on 10166 build on my L1320.
Got no developer enhancement update on slow ring & only got 10512 build update on fast ring.
From what I read you can only get Project Astoria files on non-supported devices by updating to 10166 build from WP 8.1 with modded values. I might be wrong there.
Don't get too excited like I did although :crying:

No, it also worked without upgrading from 8.1 to 10166 with modded vales, It worked on clear 10166 and 10240 (clear = after hard reset) Lumia 735 and I change the keys as I wrote and everything worked very well; I think Microsoft probably removed "Developer Enchancements" from Windows Update. I very much regret that I did not put earlier this thread, and I should remove this thread from XDA forum (but I don't know how yet )
I apologize to everyone who changed the keys as I said, but it did not work as I said :crying:

Not.

Not... I still got the update on 8/29. Did you do sth wrong?

There has been a thread about this for a while on the Windows Phone 8 general. http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...apk-installed-unsupported-devices-sd-t3175843
Basically, you need to go back to Windows Phone 8.1, and then modify the registry before updating to Windows 10 Mobile. This will put the AOW files on your phone properly.

Weird. Maybe it's a slow ring thing, then. I have a 525 myself, and the only way I could do it was by going back to 8.1. But I was on fast ring. Never thought of trying slow ring.

Have been tested multiple times, only in slow ring will you receive the update.

Is not working, tryed 3 times on luma 640 xl.

Tried this on the Lumia 640 (Not the XL) and still could not get it to work, after going back to 8.1, changing the Registry, then to 101066 build (I think) then to update, and it started downloading the 10512 build....
Going to just wait some more for PA to come to the 640...

Anybody heard about this? Windows Secure Boot Golden keys vulnerability

Microsoft leaked the golden keys that unlock Windows-powered tablets, phones and other devices sealed by Secure Boot.
"For debugging purposes, Microsoft created and signed a special Secure Boot policy that disables the operating system signature checks, presumably to allow programmers to boot and test fresh OS builds without having to sign each one.
If you provision this magic policy, that is, if you install it into your firmware, the Windows boot manager will not verify that it is booting an official Microsoft-signed operating system. It will boot anything you give it provided it is cryptographically signed, even a self-signed binary – like a shim that loads a Linux kernel."
What do you think about this?
More information: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/10/microsoft_secure_boot_ms16_100/
https://rol.im/securegoldenkeyboot/

Phone-related unlocks coming soon

Android on older Lumias like the 1020 possible?

Sure not.

new life for RT tablets, if w10m can be considered life

Microsoft Secure Boot Bypass Is the Backdoor Government Always Wanted http://news.softpedia.com/news/micr...oor-the-government-always-wanted-507179.shtml
The researchers had privately disclosed the problem to Microsoft, who initially didn't want to fix it, for undisclosed reasons.

It would be great, stable rs1 version of a side and the other side, a version insider rs2

Can we edit firmwares with this so we can enable continuum on unsupported devices?

shouldn't it in theory be possible to port android to the lumia devices like the 950 ?

Is it now possible to install Linux on my Lumia 920?
All I need is touchscreen, Wifi and maybe sound. I guess a touch-keyboard would be useful too...
Screw Android, I want Linux!
(To run a Java-based MMORPG on my phone, obviously...)

You can use testsign mode(see windows 8rt thread), then run IKVM(use google).

But it's hard(need some programming skills), you can just run windows rt

And, if this game use opengl, you can't start it(mobile GPU don't support opengl)

Man, there was NEVER ANY Android device on which Windows could be installed.
2 minutes of googling would have been enough so that you hadn't to post this question.

Microsoft did release a Windows 10 Rom for Xiaomi MI 4 and was also planning to release it for the oneplus 3. There are also some devices which have both Windows and Android installed out of the box.

Yea, I hope Microsoft comes through with the Windows ROM. I would flash it.

It's hard to get open source systems (like Android) to work on officially unsupported devices. Windows is closed source so we'll definitely not gonna see it unless Microsoft decides to bring it to OP3.

Rollback to an older version of Windows 10 mobile - The Mission!

I really want to install Android Apps in my Lumia 930. It's brand new and already came with last build of W10M. I tried to install Windows 8.1 using Lumia Phone Test Application, wich worked, but when I update to Windows 10 again I receive the last version without Astoria support. Anyone can help me?
I'm trying to install APK using that Easy Purple Drag an Drop APK Installer Tool, wich I can't remember the exactly name now but I'm sure you fellows know wich one is, and it's return this error: �There was a problem booting the Astoria platform on the Windows device. Error code = 14�.
Thanks for your time!

you cant use android apps on W10M.... project is dead... is worked terrible! FORGET IT!

just forget it!
not possible, wouldnt even be useful. if you want android apps buy a ****ing android device!

Hmm, it's a stupid idea,because M$ in TH2 destroyed Astoria Project from OS. For Astoria Project need install build 10240 on phone.

There's a thread on Windows Phone 8.1 forums about that build you want. Find it. Only for Lumias 930, 640 and his XL bro

dude seriously -> even if you get it running somehow with updating from cab files under 8.1 to 10240. IT SUCKS!!!! 99% of all android apps dont even work, the 1% which works works very bad and the os itself will run like **** cause its an early preview! just forget about it, its not worth wasting any time on it

meaning, mission completed.

Install Android Apps on Windows Phone
I hope you are searching it on the internet and landed here. And here it is: just forget it and move on... Forget all that crap you found in another sites. Tutorials, Testimonies, Youtube videos, etc... loose all your hope. Just use your limited apps and dream with a better future.
Quoting other users: even if you managed make it to work it will be ****ty. Nothing will work properly and you will realize: this is stupid.

astoria project for lumia 540 error 14 (try install apk on my phone)

i have a lumia 540 which should be sufficient for doing what everyone else is achieving.
I then went to "for developers" and enabled "developer mode" and enabled device discovery.
I used the program wconnect;
Code:
C:\Users\xav\Downloads\wphone\APKDeployment>wconnect usb
Creating session...
Please enter the pin for the device to be paired and connected: N2d7G4
There was a problem booting the Astoria platform on the Windows device. Error co
de = 14
It shows on the phone 1 device paired so its doing that part ok.
am i missing the developer extras package?
I feel that maybe it. which probably has the android development stuff.
if i goto check for updates it says i am up to date.
Please help!
i need install android apk files on my phone......

Astoria is dead... no possible way to do that...

What's your model and Windows build?

I've used Android apps on a 640 xl. Only with the leaked (and no longer supported) rom that has the Astoria packages. Why would you want to run android apps on an older unsupported OS version?

It has been said several times you can't install Astoria anymore on recent builds. The kernel needs to be customized in order to make possible install the packages again, it requires a lot of work

Call recording works last time I checked. Is the app not installed or not selectable (Voice Recorder)? The phone app uses the built in voice recorder to record phone calls. You might just need to enable the registry keys for it and select the app, did you try that for that feature?
As far as getting Astoria to work, just google it, that is how I found the FFU for the 640 XL...or buy an android phone if you must have android apps. It will go much smoother that.
