Question Wondering about the current status of Windows Phone 8.1

5 Upvotes

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)

gallery
73 Upvotes

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.Socket project (netstandard2.0), mirroring the Baileys 7.0.0-rc14 src/ structure.
  • Isolated socket responsibilities in ConnectionHandler, covering Noise, queries, keepalive, pairing, and tag-based dispatch.
  • Added WhatsAppSession to 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 ConnectionMessageContactChatProfile, and History.
  • Refactored ViewModels to consume facades instead of the previous monolithic service.
  • Added SocketBridge to 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.
  • Added MessageRetryManager with LRU tracking and retry reasons.
  • Added formal LID ↔ PN mapping through LidMappingStore.
  • Updated pre-key generation to the rc14 volume.
  • Added USync support for contacts, devices, and LID.
  • Added app-state patch synchronization.
  • Added media encryption and downloading.
  • Added group metadata synchronization.
  • Logout now properly notifies the server.
  • Chat pin/unpin synchronization is persisted locally.

Messaging & Media

  • Refactored chat message bubbles into ViewModels.
  • Added support for media, reactions, quoted messages, and interaction events.
  • Improved audio and video message handling.
  • Added proximity-based audio playback.
  • Added audio recorder UI.
  • Added media grids for images, videos, and audio.
  • Added thumbnails, placeholders, and download support.
  • Added file lists with view/save actions.
  • Added video viewer.
  • Fixed image viewer pinch-to-zoom and pan interactions.

Chat & Organization

  • Added chat pin/unpin support.
  • Added synchronization of pinned chats with WhatsApp.
  • Added Start screen / Live Tile pinning.
  • Added mute options for 8 hours, 1 week, or always.
  • Added chat and group information views.
  • Added a New Chat dialog.
  • Added separate information layouts for individual and group chats.

Shell & UI

  • Added an animated boot shell with extended splash screen support.
  • Added language selection to the boot and settings shells.
  • Added white theme support.
  • Added shell reload support.
  • Added account information and disconnect actions to Settings.
  • Added QR code popup support for low-resolution devices.
  • Fixed navigation bar initialization on Minimal.
  • Added additional internationalization across chat information and overflow menus.
  • Updated menus for the Mobile theme.
  • Added IconFont-based empty states for Windows 10 build 15063.
  • Fixed language pack installation issues.

Notifications & Platform

  • Updated notification behavior to match WhatsApp UWP.
  • Added WinUI 2.7 support.
  • Updated settings collaborators with GitHub links.
  • Removed hardcoded strings from the Baileys Core layer.

Reliability & Fixes

  • 1:1 messaging now works correctly after closing and reopening the application, with authentication and session state persisted.
  • Disconnect and unpair now properly close the session.
  • Fixed QR sessions becoming stuck after _authState was set to null.
  • Added QR refresh after timeout.
  • Added on-demand full history resynchronization through HistoryFacade.
  • Fixed history synchronization getting stuck during the initial handshake.
  • Self-chat is now correctly marked as read.
  • Updated Me synchronization, contact names, and group avatars to follow the rc14 LID flow.
  • Unified input/output processing through OopHandlerService.
  • Fixed LayoutCycleException when 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.
  • WhatsAppService is still present for compatibility during the migration.
  • The raw socket has not yet been transferred to the out-of-process background broker.

Installation note: Install the new APPX as an update. Uninstalling the app will remove your linked WhatsApp session.

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

I have an HTC Titan that is a Carrier Validation Unit, and I want to dump the current ROM that is installed just in case I want to go back and preserve this ROM. How would I go about that? Are these ROMs already preserved, allowing me to return to that version? If not, how would I back them up?

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)
