[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...
I thought that the android was removed from the windows mobile on a previous build, it would not be possible to return to this build and catch the android file and make a customization in the current build?
I searched but did not see how to get a build
No android build ever available.
you cannot install Android on a Windows Phone.. never could and never will..
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.
Or buy an Android. Simple.

Yes there are a couple of easy ways to get Android Apps on Windows Phone 8 / 8.1 devices running. Note: This is NOT possible on Windows 10 Mobile devices.
1. For the Lumia 640, 640 XL and Lumia 930 there is a 10240 ROM. You can very easily flash that ROM to your device. With that version you are able to install and use Android Apps on your Windows Phone.
2. If you have Windows Phone 8.1 installed on your device you can directly update to either 10166 or 10536. With either build you're able to install and use Android Apps. Note: this is available for the HTC M8, Lumia 930, 1520, 1020, 635.

Yeah but how to stay at that build? It will update auto to newer
I am always looking forward this. Hope Asroria will be back to Windows Mobile since MS has abandoned its own OS. My 1020 is now only my photography backup.

what do you use to update to that specific build? I have done a factory reset on 8.1. will WDRT allow me to install to a specific build? Where can I get these specific builds? Lastly, can I prevent it from further updates?
thanks!
Why?
I think this article covers all the bases.

Heya,
it's not as easy as it used to be. The problem is, Microsoft deactivated the Insider App. Without enrolling in the insider programm first, you can't upgrade to preview builds, because those are flight / development signed.
Hi, so I recently got a pre-owned OnePlus 7T (Android version 12) and looking to root it. Not looking to do anythig mega fancy with it, basically spoof pokemon go.
I have never had a samsung before so I know none of the lingo (roms, roots, apks, flash etc). I've tried watching videos but a lot of people specifically mention 7T Pro or don't specifically mention Android version 12, which I'm guessing if it's like iOS then the version is important.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to root the phone to do what I want to do with it. I've got as far as developer mode with it. I have a windows PC handy if that helps too?
Thanks
Is it so hard to search?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-android-11-how-to-root-oneplus-7t.4253183/
Extract boot from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-7t-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.3997037/
This is XDA.
So members are expected to be proactive.
Hi, thanks for the response!
The first link says android 11, not 12, so like I had mentioned, I have no idea how it works with androids and whether the two are interchangeable.
The second link doesn't mention any android version and I can't see a mention of android 12 in the comments, thus I wouldn't have followed through with the guide as I can't clearly see it will work for OnePlus 7T Android 12.
So, having searched the site which I'm not used to, and having asked in discords and only being told to go ask here, I did what I was told and went and asked here. I apologise for how repetitive the question may be, but I'm just hoping some kind soul will have a little pitty and put me on the right path.
1.Guide is the same for Android 12
2.
E.g.
HD1903_11_F.17 (delivered to OOS 11 users): HD1903_11.F.17_3170_202210120443
MD5: c0efb9eacc32eac171fccd6cd306ecaa
is Android 12 for Europe
So all the last entries are A12.
Or download with Oxygen Updater App
Use this for extraction of the boot.img

Hi again,
I've taken what you said and reflashed the phone and upgraded to OOS 11.0.9.1 (latest available).
The links you sent are super useful now I know they work for any version, though following it broke my phone last night (my fault), likely during the patched_boot.img stage as the lingo started confusing me.
Does the below youtube offer an alternative method to root the phone? I've found the software build for 11.0.9.1 and hoping if that guide works then I'll follow that and ideally not need to bother you more
It's not an alternative, it's the same only as a video
However, better use the payload-gui.exe for extracting the payload bin.
Much easier.
Good luck
