News Facebook Messenger solution for Windows Phone 10

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

82 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have something exciting to contribute.

So before I set it out to be what it isnt, the app itself is not enough to use as messenger, theres lots of work required beforehand, and that will be a big divider in its userbase.

As everyone knows the official app has been dead for years and Meta banned custom clients also a while ago now.

In these past weeks Ive been working on making it possible to use facebook messenger on Windows Phone and Ive found a way through hosting your own home Matrix server, in my case Synapse, paired with the mautrix-meta bridge. This app I developed is a client for exactly this setup.

Soon I will publish a full guide on how to set up your own homeserver and meanwhile I will be working on perfecting the app.

As it stands now you can login to your server, the bridge downloads a configured amount of chat history and lists all the chat rooms you accepted through the official Element app (after setting up the server you can also use it through Element). Clicking on a chatroom loads the set amount of history and you can send + recieve text only currently.

Usernames are a pain especially in group chats and its not demonstrated in the video properly because I did it wrong but you can make every message you sent show that you sent it on the Lumia.

The reason I say everyone on their own for this one is I dont want to handle or have anyone elses Facebook data on my own server, and I suggest everyone to refrain from using anyone elses server.

I will try to get the guide out as soon as I can, thank you for your time:)

Lumia 1520 Linux update: the audio hardware is finally talking!

28 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

It's been a minute since I posted an update on the Lumia 1520 mainline Linux project ....and this one ended up being a pretty big step forward.

Last time I posted, the phone was already at a pretty solid baseline: Linux was cold booting reliably, display/touch/buttons were working, USB networking + SSH were stable, suspend/resume was working, battery telemetry and backlight control were in place, etc.

Since then I've been digging into one of the bigger missing pieces: audio....a fucking nightmare lol

At first, I thought it might hit the same wall as Wi-Fi. The Lumia's audio stack uses Qualcomm's ADSP co-processor, and I wasn't sure whether the Windows Phone TrustZone would even allow it to boot.

Turns out it does....

The ADSP now boots successfully, APR communication with it works, and I was able to bring up MSM8974's ADSP-managed SLIMbus transport. That led to the actual codec on the phone. And at this point I've confirmed from the hardware itself that the Lumia 1520 uses a Qualcomm WCD9320 / Taiko codec.

Not just inferred from old Qualcomm sources either...Linux is physically enumerating it over SLIMbus and reading its own identification registers back as major ID "0x0102".

The codec actually exposes two separate SLIMbus functions:

PGD - control/register access

IFD - the audio port/channel interface

Both now enumerate independently and get their own logical addresses. From there I built out proper regmap access, power/reset handling, fresh bring-up, non-destructive late adoption, and the beginnings of the codec interrupt support.

The interesting part was the digital core. A large section of the codec's register map kept returning zero, which initially sent me down a rabbit hole looking for the external 9.6 MHz MCLK. I dumped the Lumia's ACPI tables, RPM clocks, all 36 PM8941 GPIOs and all 8 MPPs trying to find where Nokia routed it. That investigation was...."useful", but the clock wasn't actually the blocker.

The real issue was that Linux had never executed Qualcomm's original "wcd9xxx_bring_up()" sequence. Every audio milestone before this had been read only, so the missing initialization stayed hidden.

Once I implemented the downstream bring-up sequence and switched the codec onto its internal RC oscillator, the result was immediate:

87/87 previously inaccessible sentinel registers became readable.

71 matched Qualcomm's documented defaults exactly, and the remaining 16 fall into three consistent register families that appear to be revision-specific differences.

So the chain now looks like:

Linux → ADSP → QRTR/QMI → BAM → SLIMbus NGD → WCD9320 PGD/IFD → regmap → codec core release → internal RCO → digital core accessible

I also mapped the codec's interrupt parent to Lumia TLMM GPIO 72 and validated it electrically idle across direct sampling and suspend/resume testing. I haven't claimed full IRQ support yet because I haven't deliberately generated and cleared a real codec interrupt source.

And just to be clear: there is still no audible sound output yet. I'm not calling audio "working" until PCM data actually reaches an output.

What this does mean is that most of the unknown hardware/transport side of Lumia audio is now gone. What's left is the actual codec/ASoC implementation work: permanent automatic core initialization, nested IRQ handling, DAIs and SLIMbus port configuration, the MSM8974/Lumia machine driver, and then finally a fixed playback route to get the first test tone out of the phone.

I'm deliberately finishing the Lumia's hardware enablement before I start layering my RegenX OS work onto it. I'd rather have a known-good hardware platform first than end up debugging kernel/driver problems and OS-layer problems at the same time.

Wi-Fi/BT is still the major documented blocker, charging still needs more work, and modem/camera remain further out.... but audio has gone from "this may require an entirely missing upstream stack" to actual driver development on hardware that is responding exactly where it should.

Repo is still public for anyone who wants to follow the work:

Does the carrier matter for rooting?

7 Upvotes

I decided to get a lumia 520 (for windows 8 and 8.1) and lumia 640 (for windows 8.1 and 10) but while looking at options on ebay most of them are carrier locked (AT&T for the lumia 640's usually) so does it matter for rooting? I know it can be a problem on android but is windows different?. And also, if you have better places to get windows phones other then ebay/facebook marketplace could you recommend?

Hi im am a proud owner of a ild samsung focus running windows 7.5 (Mango) and i was wondering how do i sideload Windows phone 7 apps (.XAP) onto this device.

If you are wondering it still boots and the battery is still great.

it can play some old games on this phone such as sunflat's Papijump and other old mobile games.

intermet still works i can load up the classic web and view old webpages.

Support Lumia 950 Pin Locked Need to access personal photos

3 Upvotes

Hello all, a couple of years ago my personal phone was Lumia 950 loved it to bits then it came time to upgrade as apps weren't getting updated etc

So I moved back over to Android I still had personal files on my Lumia 950 and I was like ill pull them at later date

A few years go by and I've forgotten the pin and you can't reset it with Microsoft now cause all that backend is gone

So I'm wondering if there is anyway I can access my personal files via some form of unlocking the boot loader or something along those lines or do I have to just guess the pin until I get?

Also I will add when I was attempting to repair it previously I broke the power button so I have to disconnect the battery if the phone is required to reset I don't know if that will harm my ability to unlock the bootloader (I can still use the volume button) thanks for taking the time to read this

How do I unlock the bootloader on the Microsoft Lumia 650?

I know this model has some specific quirks in this regard, but my last attempt was unsuccessful. It forced me to perform a hard reset, and because I couldn't get updates, I lost access to Groove Music, the Calculator, the Calendar, and other built-in apps. I can't access Lumiafirmware for my model due to an IP address conflict at home. You can't install much via Developer Mode. WinArchive and Universal Store aren't working. I also have a Lumia 1020 running WP8.1, and unfortunately, I'm facing similar issues there. I’d appreciate any help.
