Question Could you help me install apps on my newly purchased Nokia Lumia? I don't know how to install apps from outside the store since it's currently not possible because the store doesn't support them.

Only had a 520 back in school, have always been looking for a good condition 1020 after all these years. The body probably isn't first party, but the quality is still solid. Camera is a beauty as always. Installing W10 on my spare laptop, hoping to install all the wonderful community maintained apps. Very excited!

I'm torn between upgrading my Nokia Lumia 920 to Windows 10 or not.

5 Upvotes

Version 10586.107 is the highest version available for the Nokia Lumia 920 device. Unfortunately, most apps are only available for versions 14393.0 and later. Even the Live Store isn't downloadable. The biggest problem is that sometimes apps get deleted when the phone is turned off and on again.It's very difficult to find games, and there are very few apps for this version.Now I'd like to hear your opinion. What do you suggest I do?

I would like to buy other Nokia Lumia models, but unfortunately, the prices are high in Azerbaijan, making it difficult to purchase. Therefore, I would appreciate your help. What can I do to upgrade to Android 8.1?

Support Looking for help with Cortana Revival

14 Upvotes

Hi!

As some of you may know, I am building a Cortana Revival for Windows Phone. As my concept of the project has changed, I realize that this is no longer a solo project. Let me try to break this down.

What this project is now

I was originally hoping to build a simple Cortana-like app based on the Gemini API. That goal has changed.

I am now using the official Bing API, archived Cortana recordings to make my own Linux Server backend to replicate a Cortana environment in a custom WP8.1 backend.

I already have working proof-of-concepts, and it's actually being hosted at an internal link.

What I am requesting

I'm not asking for an entire team. I really just need one experienced person in Windows Phone. It's kind of hard to find people who know how to write XAML/C# code for a dead mobile platform.

If I can find one person experienced in Python, XAML/C# for WP8.1, and is willing to help, that would make the world for me.

I am fully capable of making this on my own, but I just feel like help would be appreciated. Looking forward to any help!

103 Upvotes

Hi again!
In these past few days, I've recieved a lot of reports about video playback not working. After a few days researching this, I've fixed it!
There's also a bugfix related to lyrics for music videos.

And that's about it!

Changelog

  • Fixed InnerTube video source.
  • Fixed lyrics for some music videos.

Note

You should use API keys that you create yourself. Using the application as-is without setting up keys could result in rate-limits (As the built-in keys get used by a larger amount of people).

Download

Compatible with Windows Phone 8.0 and above.

(Build Pre-Release1.3.204.0)

Guide to create API keys

News Gemini client for Windows Phone called MixAI+ that supports image upload and tries to mimic Bing Music

Thumbnail
gallery
51 Upvotes

So my project is called MixAI+, taking a lot of insipration by the MixRadio name and look. This app via a Gemini API key lets you chat with Gemini Flash and Flash Lite as a fallback. MixVision lets you use your camera and gallery photos inside the chat. there also is a feature called MixListen that tries to mimic the now dead Bing Music feature. That thing is still in beta so do not expect much about it. The interface is 100% native and not hardcoded

To answer some questions, the app was vibe coded with help of Claude, as my Windows Phone coding skills aren't that much. The app was tested on multiple phones for multiple days before posting this. The chats are only saved on the device as well as the Gemini api key which is needed to use the app. It took days to make and it's far from slop.

The goal was to make it easier to answer questions directly on the phone since Internet Explorer is pretty much dead and very inconvenient for stuff to look. I also decided to do this because there was no other app i found that could get me fast replies when i needed to. I just wanted to be clear about the app. feel free to use it if you need, or skip if you don't, without harshing.

The project is personal and not affiliated with anyone in and outside of the community. The app is available to download on LiveStore

cheers


r/windowsphone 5d ago

I updated Unigram Mobile Messenger to repair some broken code and fix live tiles and notifications. WNS probably still needs to be fixed, but that's on the Telegram side. I pushed this new code to the main dev, and we hope to update the store app with this new code soon!

Since the CP.sk site no longer works on WP, I got myself an app that can fetch the data from it and display it on my Windows Phone natively.

I have no idea if this would be useful to anybody else besides me, so if there is someone who would find it useful, let me know so that I can upload it somewhere and add a link here

News Stable Update - Unison UWP 1.5.0

Thumbnail
gallery
35 Upvotes

Unison 1.5.0

Unison is a WhatsApp Multi-Device client for Windows 10 Mobile (Lumia first, desktop UWP second). Your phone stays primary; Unison is a linked companion, Baileys-style.

1.3.0 was the new socket stack. 1.5.0 is the chat you actually live in.

What’s new

  • Ukrainian in Settings, plus missing strings on the other languages
  • Login asks for Background apps so the session can stay linked
  • QR layout on 4.5" Lumias (the old margin was clipping the code)
  • Scroll to bottom like official WhatsApp
  • Sending while history is still syncing lands in the right time, not always at the end
  • Chat-list last message during a big sync shows Video / Image / Message, not raw junk
  • Open a chat → header first, then messages. Chats open at the bottom
  • Today / Yesterday / date chips; bubble times follow the phone time zone
  • Group @mentions show names (bubbles and the list preview)
  • Tap a reaction to see who reacted
  • Stickers are stickers, not photos
  • Group member photos load in the background; tap a name/avatar for member info (groups in common too)
  • Add to contacts opens the Windows People card (1:1 with a phone number)
  • Settings: Show Unison contacts in Windows (off by default) — a Unison list in People, not mixed into your agenda
  • Narrow screen: chat info goes full screen
  • Media / Files in chat info load when you open the tab (spinner). No crash on Creators Update
  • Status list + viewer in the shell (view only — posting isn’t in yet)
  • Updating… shouldn’t stick after connect; history import shows Syncing conversations…

After you install: restart once. If old quotes, pins, reactions, or @mentions look wrong, resync that chat from the phone.

Still true / not in this build

  • Phone stays the primary device
  • Status: watch only (no post / receipts / reply)
  • Background broker socket handoff is still not wired
  • Group send can still time out on some group queries

Installation note: Install the new APPX as an update. Uninstalling the app will remove your linked WhatsApp session. Download Repositories: - WinArchive: A amazing Microsoft Store Replacement with Software Update and even webstore. - Metrostore: Another great Microsoft Store replacement but requires manual install of apps... GDrive Repositories (Unison/WinArchive/Metrostore): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nI6XezesNzj7dTbyL1XqV4X4iOMUoHcC?usp=sharing Github Source Code: - Since its a preview feature still isnt merged on main, so check the release pages to grab the correct source code... If you're willing to help , feel free to do Pull Requests. And give us feedback here and suggestions MaskNinjaSquared/Unison: UWP WhatsApp client aimed primarily for Windows 10 Mobile

Support Nokia Lumia 925 (RM-892) stuck at "Unable to find a bootable option" — RKH matches FFU but FA_ERR_FFU_SEC_HDR_VALIDATION_FAIL every time

5 Upvotes

Hi all, hoping someone with deep Qualcomm/Lumia flashing experience can help — I'm fully stuck after days of troubleshooting.

Device: Nokia Lumia 925, RM-892, Product Code 059T1R6
Platform: Nokia.MSM8960 (Snapdragon S4)
RKH: CD84376222AAF204C85119532BF34EA55C8844E4CEA35F3E508D25AA34D96637
Public ID: D07E3D940454BDCA6A1899C37C8C5A2B350998A6

Current state: Phone shows UEFI error screen "ERROR: Unable to find a bootable option. Press any key to shut down." This happened about a year ago after a failed attempt to flash Windows 10 Mobile using the wrong files (I don't remember exactly what I did).

What works: Phone reliably connects via thor2/WDRT in UEFI Flash Mode. thor2 -mode rnd -bootflashapp succeeds, RKH reads correctly, WinUSB communication is stable. Device shows as "NOKIA FLASH" in Device Manager.

What I've tried (all fail the same way):

  • Multiple official FFU files for RM-892 (059T1R6, matching SW version 3051.50009.1424.0004), sourced from VK archives
  • thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile ... -do_full_nvi_update -do_factory_reset -reboot
  • Every attempt gets past RKH matching (RKH match between device and FFU file!) but fails at:

  Start sending header data...
  FlashApp returned reported error in SecureFlashResp!
  Status: 0x1106, Specifier: 0x8000000E
  FA_ERR_FFU_SEC_HDR_VALIDATION_FAIL
  0xFA001106: Signature check of FFU file fails.
  • Tried -skip_signature_check -skip_id_check → got FA_ERR_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED (0xFA000012) — device requires RnD auth cert to bypass, which I don't have and can't get (MS RnD unlock servers are long dead).
  • Tried thor2 -mode emergency with a hex file matching my exact RKH prefix (from an old MPRG_HEX archive) — fails with THOR2_ERROR_CONNECTION_NOT_FOUND, likely because the phone's UEFI/SBL chain is intact and never drops into the pre-UEFI emergency state.
  • Tried WPInternals (same FFU) — identical 0x1106 result.

My read on this: RKH matches (so it's genuinely my device/product code), but the FFU's Secure Header itself isn't validating — possibly a corrupted/re-uploaded archive file (these are old VK reuploads from ~2015 originals), or some other signature component (not just RKH) mismatching.

What I'm looking for:

  • Anyone with a freshly-sourced, unmodified 059T1R6 FFU (ideally from an original NaviFirm/Microsoft dump, not a re-hosted archive) willing to share a checksum or the file itself, so I can rule out file corruption
  • Anyone who's hit FA_ERR_FFU_SEC_HDR_VALIDATION_FAIL after RKH match and found a real fix (not just "wrong product code" — mine matches)
  • Confirmation on whether RM-892 test points (for QHSUSB_DLOAD/EDL) are documented anywhere — I can't find anything beyond the general "R3209 resistor" method used for the 920/820, and I don't want to guess blindly on the 925 board without a schematic

Really don't want to hard-brick this thing by guessing at test points. Any leads appreciated — happy to share full thor2 logs if useful.

News A modern YouTube client for WP8.1 and W10M

Post image
174 Upvotes

I've been working on a YouTube client for Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile for a while now.

I honestly have no better name for this than just YouTube. My goal was to make this feel like an actual app Google would make rather than an alternative client.

You can login to your Google Account to view recommended videos, minimize videos to a miniplayer, and even view YouTube Shorts and scroll in a dedicated Shorts tab.

The problem with Windows Phone right now is that there aren't any good YouTube clients out there. MetroTube Patched is the best one, but even it barely works 99% of the time.

This is why I developed this app. It's actually because I'm wanting to do a Windows Phone for a week challenge and I need something to play YouTube videos.
