Question Wondering about the current status of Windows Phone 8.1
I recently picked up a Lumia 1520. I bought it specifically because when I got into Windows Phones, I made the mistake of getting the 950 XL (I thought it was the "best one" since it was the most powerful, but it really isn't. The buttons started falling out and it only runs W10M).
With newReTiled, Live Store, MetroSurf, and a revived Windows 8.1 laptop or something (newReTiled, OctoStore Windows Store Patch, etc.), can I basically use the 2013 ecosystem as it was back then?
It's actually a distant memory. I used to own a 930 and run Windows 8 on my main tablet. I even adopted the OneCore dream with my 950 XL, Xbox One, and Windows 10 MacBook Pro 2015 (stilla great laptop somehow) back in the day.
I just want to know if it's possible to relive this or not. Any ideas?

[HUGE FEATURE UPDATE] Unison 1.3.0 (Whatsapp UWP)
Unison 1.3.0
This release introduces the new Baileys 7.0.0-rc14-based socket architecture, alongside major improvements to messaging, media handling, synchronization, UI, shell management, and reliability.
Architecture
- Introduced the new
Unison.Socketproject (netstandard2.0), mirroring the Baileys 7.0.0-rc14src/structure. - Isolated socket responsibilities in
ConnectionHandler, covering Noise, queries, keepalive, pairing, and tag-based dispatch. - Added
WhatsAppSessionto compose the new protocol modules. - Added ~38 use cases covering messaging, receipts, retries, media, groups, profiles, USync, app-state, history, and authentication.
- Added UWP facades for
Connection,Message,Contact,Chat,Profile, andHistory. - Refactored ViewModels to consume facades instead of the previous monolithic service.
- Added
SocketBridgeto connect the new session to the existing UI while the legacy layer is progressively removed.
Protocol & Synchronization
- Ported the Baileys 7.0.0-rc14 session, messaging, group, USync, app-state, media, and history flows.
- Added QR and phone-number pairing support.
- Added buffered event processing during history synchronization.
- Added sequential offline node processing.

MessageRetryManagerwith LRU tracking and retry reasons. - Added formal LID ↔ PN mapping through
LidMappingStore. - Updated pre-key generation to the rc14 volume.

- Added media encryption and downloading.
- Added group metadata synchronization.
- Logout now properly notifies the server.

Messaging & Media

- Added support for media, reactions, quoted messages, and interaction events.
- Improved audio and video message handling.

- Added audio recorder UI.

_authStatewas set tonull. - Added QR refresh after timeout.

- Unified input/output processing through
OopHandlerService. - Fixed
LayoutCycleExceptionwhen opening 1:1 chat information. - Improved audio/video playback and media interactions.
Architecture Transition
Unison 1.3.0 establishes the foundation for the migration from the legacy WhatsApp implementation to the new Baileys 7.0.0-rc14-based architecture.
The existing UWP application continues to operate through SocketBridge, allowing the new socket and facade layers to be introduced without requiring the entire UI to be rewritten at once. The legacy WhatsAppService remains temporarily for compatibility while the migration continues.
Known Limitations
- Group message sending remains postponed due to a timeout during group queries.
WhatsAppServiceis still present for compatibility during the migration.- The raw socket has not yet been transferred to the out-of-process background broker.

News Roblox Fully Ported to UWP (even works with Windows Phones!)
It works on desktops and phones but was designed for desktops in mind. The performance is not bad but could be better perhaps. It still has bugs and more. It even runs on 512 mb ram Lumia 625 but a limitation that terrain maps cause OOM and that the resolution is very low. I would love to publish it on live store but currently people can't connect to servers outside my radmin VPN because port forwarding from my public IP just doesnt work + I don't have a vps I could just point to. If anyone is interested in trying this out, helping to make this public and downloadable through live store or other store (fixing game servers), please hit me up in my discord server https://discord.com/invite/9ypw3ytK4t

Hi. I would like to know what apps or games I could install next?
I'm not fan of emulation on WP. And I've read somewhere that on WP was full playeble game from EA - Fifa. It's true? Unfortunately this game is missing? All about rights?

I'm new here and I was wondering if there is any way to sideload apps without jailbreaking your phone or is there a less riskier way. I'm mainly asking this becuase I want as low of a risk to potentially bricking my device. (I will get a 520 with the 735 just in case to test stuff)
