No dude. You cant install Android on Windows Phone. You need to buy Android Phones for that. In earlier versions of Wp10 it was possible but not now

Something close is possible, You can install Appx File.... It's the Universal Apps : there might be some that have be converted from android to Windows phone.. Just google Appx Downloads and see if you can find something he wanted. If so, that is what is possible. The previous : A Older version of Windows on the phone had a special file/command, whatever you wish to call it. """Bash""". It allowed Linux to run on windows. Sadly they removed this, it would give programmers to do things Microsoft did not want to happen.

I think what you meant was sideloading apk using adb in W10 build 10149 . The Exploit which allowed more or less sandboxing of Android app. It Ran the basic Android Apps which didnt have much dependency on Google Play services and more in use by Project Astoria.That means if an android app that required the GMaps plug-in would crash in W10M. Well that's basically not possible now as they removed the Linux Subsytem. You cant install Android Apps now on Windows 10 (btw Nowadays which dev is spending time on Lumia devices? ) I dont think there would be more development of Windows 10 mobile in future as they have shown that Full blown Windows 10 would soon run on ARM devices which has SD835 or more( Just think SD835+6GB RAM+LQS)That would be amazing. But Microsoft Doesnt have the Required no. of Apps in store (Admitting, UWP was not a great success) and enough market share. But dev's like @feherneoh and @banmeifyouwant have done great thing in porting Android to SG Lumias. :cyclops:

feherneoh said:
SD835 might be a great SoC, but we'll have to wait and see. But that will give us x86 Windows apps, not Android
Yeah, there is the 52X port, but note that we have no connectivity at all....

Atleast if the perfomence if fine on SD835 soc , I Mean more than 2.5Ghz and enough page memory, I Think running or emulating Android apps would be smooth.Moreover if its full fledged Win10 the bootloader stuff Etc. would be easier to unlock and build Android for that. Yeah as you said we have to wait and see.
Yeah, Connectivity is major barrier on L52X Android Ports. If you guys could solve that, L52X Android port would the topic of debate and hopefully open the doors for future development. Good luck with connectivity though. Anyway you guys have done a great work on dead Lumias

Google's Android on Magician !

Hi all,
Just read an artice on the hack of Google's impressive Android mobile OS. Hackers have used files from the emulator and installed the OS on some Linux phones. I was just thinking that there was a post on this forum saying that Linux could be Installed on Magician. Also Android uses Linux's kernal. So why not give Android a try. Would be great to use the new Android on Magician.
Any clues on how to proceed with the Installation ?
Is it really? I listen about porting on only Linux-PDA but Magican isn't Linux-PDA.
Of course, Android can run on the Magician, BUT never forget that you need drivers for the device - even for Linux!
And that's the problem: if you don't have any information about the chipset etc you will need month or even years to develop them.
If you want to run Linux on the Magician, there is already a project which try to develop drivers for Linux. Last time I read from their progress Linux runs on the Magician with the possibility to use the phone (but no GPRS)...
Use the search if you are interested;-)

It is http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Magician , isn't it?
So If Linux can be installed, then Android can also be installed. Because it supports all Linux compatible devices according to the hack.
For the DRIVER part, pls check the official Android website-
http://code.google.com/android/
and let us know. Waiting for your reply...
Thanks!
Peoples - a hve WORKING linux on my HTC magician.
name is Angstorm with GUi OpenMoko.
Work - tochscreen,Sound,GSM,blootuth.
thet meens - drivers are exist and work
Can anybody say, where i can download Google's Androuid for ANY platform ?
I'm Find =) Android For Zaurus
it seems to me, For using rootfs on magician we mast change drivers in it
http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/static.php?page=ZaurusAndroid
As me say one man, it takes compiling magican's drivers using Google android SDK.
Some useful links
Буржуйский форум -> http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showforum=158

Немного о портировании для OMAP -> http://elinux.org/Android_on_OMAP
Sory for my English =)
does anyone know how to actually download the Android platform? regardless of phone model or drivers? or is it just included in the SDK and you gotta compile it yourself? If I can somehow get my hands on a copy of the image I'll probably end up spending the next 3 weeks trying to flash it natively into the ROM
The Android sources can found on this page: http://code.google.com/p/android/downloads/list
It is only kernel. Without drivers.
Found a new article for search on "Android on HTC", got this:
Android Kernel Found, Android on HTC Kaiser imminent
It says, that the kernal works only on MSM7200A chipset for now.
Take a look, link: http://fandroid.net/content/android-kernel-found-android-htc-kaiser-imminent
what i cannot understand is:
if there is an working linux kernel (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianXanadux) than android should be executable also!?
All necessary driviers shold be available.
So why should it be impossible to have a running android on a Magician?
cheers
aitsch
p.s.: the Magician is a very fast device. maybe android is running well on it.
UPDATE: Google has released a new version of Android, v0.9
Any updates on running Andriod on Magician ?
I could run Linux (Openmoko) successfully.
yea! Android 1.0 it very good
we need this
linux can run on a magician and u can use phone on it but no sms and it's full of bug's
Hi all,
I have tried to download the angstrom linux and follow the instruction from this site http://linuxtogo.org/~ph5/magician/....
but I always had kernel panic when start booting the linux, after then I found out the unzipping wasn't successful there is an error occurred during unzipping.
Does anyone ever encounter the error when unzipping? your help would be much appreciated. thank you

Take a look at this !
You can go the android x86 proyect page, download an iso (stable froyo or unstable gingerbread) and use unetbooting to create a live usb flash version of android for pc. However, it has some limitations, like the lack of market and gapps

its better to wait till all stuff is fixed and usebale like a normal OS, and also an easier installation proces...
hey
You can installing it by burning a disk image or download vmware and run it inside your current os i installed it but it wasnt very good better left on the phones at mo
It works pretty good on old pc's.

[Q] test roms on emulator

Hi,
I would like to test the roms I can find here, on an emulator.
for that, I will need something like the SDK for the Acer tablet A500.
(to build my AVD)
I can't find it. anyone have an idea where I can find it ?
thanks
Olivier
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+sdk
ah ah ah . so fun )
unfortunatly, it is not provided by google !
I know well the android SDK, I am talking about a small part which is sometime provided by constructor in order to help the developper to build application with android SDK.
for example, Sony provides the SDK part for some of its device. it has to be added to the android SDK.
I think it could comes from Acer, or developer who has it because they are working near or far from this (in the same way, the Leak comes from someone which is near from developer team)
I am still looking for that.
thanks
Olivier
Im totally confused as to what you are looking for.. If its reference sdk from acer . They have not provided this.. I think its something they provide to google then google adds it to the sdk. or acer will provide a repo to add to your sdk.
now here is what setup i have..
1 download the sdk tools from developer.android.com/sdk i think is the url (use search )
2. download eclipse (there is a link on the developer.android.com site)
3 download the correct FULL Java library abe sure to read the requirements on the version of eclipse you use for what jave version you need )
4 Read read READ .. Read the how to install sdk development environment in Eclipse for your EXACT OS . Pay close attention to every detail. like is is x86 x64 and so on.
5 Follow the instructions word for word on again the install and setup for android development platform for your OS Version.
This is what i use as well as CYGWIN (this is for advanced users) As well as there are other tools that make developing much easier. YES IM NEW TO all of this as well.But have learned alot over the last year.
The above only gets you ready. Once you get to this point . KEEP . WELL YOU KNOW THIS Part already KEEP READING.. in a few weeks you will on your way.
GOOD LUCK developer.android.com has everything your asking and beyond.
If any of the above is incorrect Blame it on developer.android.com or the mighty thor. god of the universe..

[IDEA][Installer] Astoria installer for W10M Unsupported devices

Thinking of a new method of installing AoW, and I think I have found a way to install AoW without the Dev update on the latest release of W10M.
How many of you would want something like this done? It would require full interop/cap unlock with 1st/2nd/3rd party permissions unlocked as well using the Root Tool.
I am starting research on this now to see if it is worth while.
Let me know peeps!
If this would manage to skip the device hardware check and allow us to run project astoria on 512MB RAM devices then I am really interested and ready to test.
Thanks, I am still doing a lot of research to see if this is even possible, but I have the AoW files for P.A. I just need to figure out the registry entries, and where each file goes.
Might be awhile, but I will let you know when I have an alpha installer.

I already tried adding the files and registry entries myself, some of the registry entries can't be written, at least not by any registry editor released until now, also did the downgrade and update with an other device's entries trick to try to enable it so I now seem to have all the aow files in their place and the entries are also there (at least the entries I know about) yet it doesn't work so at least for users of devices with 512MB RAM this might not be possible (I think that somehow the android build/hyper-v implementation/something else check the hardware and don't allow it to boot on 512MB RAM).
I am still willing to test but I think that even if you manage to find and write all the registry entries you might need an other tester with a (hardware wise) better device to actually find out if it's working or not.

Well I have a Lumia 640 which is not supported yet, but will be in the future. 1GB RAM Quad-Core
i can test if you want i have a lumia 625....
UPDATE: I think I am getting close to a solution. if someone who has astoria on their device already could you rip all the files from "C:\Windows\System32\aow" from your phone, zip them up and send them to me in a private message? It would be of GREAT help to make sure I have the latest files.
Thank you.
Old post, but I'm interested.
I have the files, go pm.
I would venture to say anyone with a high spec windows 10 mobile device is extremely interested in this. I think heathcliff is researching this. if astoria could be ported to the latest build of windows 10 mobile..

I made some tests but I was stuck on adding new values in registry.. But I had all the values to put and all the files and other modifications

Realistically this would only work on Nokia, which requires a special DLL to be used in the project to set/create registry items.

You need a lot more than that, me and other people are working on this. I already pushed all the astoria files and dlls, and restored the service key and values to trigger the dlls. It needs more than that to work in newer builds, when i mean newer builds i refer to 10586.x or higher .

Hey thanks for the reply, I already know this, but thanks for the information! However, I have long since abandoned this project (see date of my OP and the post you quoted). Cheers!:good:

Well... I have a Lumia 925 running latest Windows 10 Mobile build ever (Redstone 4) Build 15254
But be careful!
You may brick a lot of devices...
If you really want to work on this, i can give you all the files i've got on my research aswell as the registry keys that you can import with interop tools. Since i had to format my pc and such, didn't install anything related to windows phone, so i left the project in the trunk but, as i said, if you really want to work on this i can provide you with the files and keys.
Yep!

Well... I will take it!
Just upload it to a download server for example MEGA.CO.NZ
And and the download link to me via private messages.
If everything would succeed and I will finally make it to the finish, I will make a program that will install Astoria onto your phone via just pressing a button!
You can also check out my other software that I made and published to xda developers, I will be very happy if one of them will help you fixing problems with your phone (if you have problems of course) or installing Windows 10 Mobile onto your phone with just 3 clicks!
Good luck!

I hope you manage to get this working!
Ever since its announcement I was hoping to see the day it gets out!
How's the progress? Nearly done?

Windows xp... software to develop app

I have windows xp.
What software I need to install? More specially, which versions?
I do not want to buy newer OS.
I want to make app in IDE or something like that for android 4.1.2 on gt-i9100.
I want the app to do job in preload partition.

XP is too old. I was still in school when XP is the latest version, it's that old. Many programs may not work.
Better use BBQ Linux. It may also be conducive to Android App development.
I love the idea for live dvd.
Are there other alternatives in same group??: 'I put the dvd and no need to lose time to install anything at all.' ?
can someone say to me whether the size of this file:
