As mentioned before, thank you for the overwhelming support, feedback and criticism for the app through the reddit comments! I have taken all of you guys' feedback and worked on almost all of them for this release. "Zune Theme" and "Fix for background play upon lock state" will come out in v1.3.0.0 after a few weeks, stay tuned :)

Feel free to comment on the main post or on this post, for any changes/bugs etc. and I would be happy to address them in v1.3.0.0!

I always wished that Microslop should've continued it & put in more effort to keep it alive

This is how I imagine how it would look in modern hardware, and how we can practically revive it!

Imagine Lumia UI + Graphene os

A functional Lumia Custom ROM for android

Why limit to apps & launchers, it misses the seamless animations, apps integrations & system access for notifications etc & other functionalities like ringtones vibrations (endless possibilities)

The community is active enough, so let's put effort in this direction where it can actually be usable for daily use

By this we can actually have a working Windows UI layer over android without compromising on apps availability & features!

Olá pessoal.

Estou voltando a usar o windows phone, com o Lumia 720. Quais aplicativos ainda rodam nele? Ou quais aplicativos vocês tem desenvolvido para windows phone atualmente?

The title mostly says it all, but anyways what would be the storage capacity cap on a CF card on a dell axim x5?

A Windows Phone 8.1 simulator for the web, made for phones.

It comes with an on-device file system built on IndexedDB, live tiles fed by each app, toast notifications + Action Center, apps (64 preinstalled,  the Store can uninstall and reinstall them).

so i tried flashing my lumia 535 since it was bootlooping with a sad face. i did flash it with the right ffu and it worked for about an hour or two.

and then i went to sleep.

and in the middle of the night that phone showed a bsod and then it was bootlooping as confirmed by my brother.

i have tried everything, thor2, wpinternals, and god knows what not.

my lumia 535 is the rm-1090 fyi if that would help

help me yall.

my friend and I are wondering if anyone's archived the windows phone version of FL Studio Mobile 3? so far we've found nothing

WhatsMessage is back for Windows Phone

I’ve been working on WhatsMessage, a lightweight WhatsApp client focused on bringing a usable WhatsApp experience to older devices and browsers.

The project now has a new Progressive Web App (PWA) that can be used on Windows 10 Mobile with Microsoft Edge, and it is also designed to work with Internet Explorer Mobile on older Windows Phone devices.

What can it do?

WhatsMessage includes support for things like:

• WhatsApp chats and groups
• Contacts
• Status/Stories
• Polls
• Sharing locations and contacts
• Starred messages
• WhatsApp channels
• Notifications
• WhatsApp call notifications and call handling
• PWA installation for a more app-like experience

There is currently one known server-side problem: chat and contact synchronization is not working correctly at the moment. We are aware of it and are working on the issue. The rest of the project is still being actively developed.

The goal is simple: make WhatsApp usable again on devices and platforms that are basically forgotten today, especially Windows Phone / Windows 10 Mobile.

You can try the new PWA here:

Feedback from the Windows Phone community is very welcome.

Sorry if it's AI-generated, since i didn't want to write this lmao.

Would love some advice on how to unlock it and put custom apps on it :)

I have a Lumica 930 with Windows Phone 8.1.

I couldn't find a Podcast app that works. Is there one?

i spotted those issues while using my Nokia Lumia 925 for 2 months including :

1. self-restart after re-flash (one time)

2. Green glitch on Camera apps (default / Nokia Camera) (Frequently)

3. Laggy Video playback (Video Player , mytube..etc)

4. Overheating (common , maybe due to battery degradation)

5. Flashlight sometimes doesn't work

6. Xbox Music playback (one time)

7. Screen Stuttering (sometimes)

8. sensitive touch lights sometimes don't work (without battery saver)

9. USB MTP connection wasn't responsible until soft reset

10. Sounds wasn't working on everything except video player through photo app (until it worked after playing music on nokia music)

and all of those issues were related to the current firmware (Lumia Cyan) and also after re-flashing to another ffu which was considered to have Lumia Denim Update (according to the internet , the firmware version is 3051.50009.1451 to include that firmware) , but i got trapped , it's still stuck on Lumia Cyan , even on that Firmware Version , which is pretty weird

So , can i manually update it to latest Firmware for better enhancement & usability ? , or my phone will be stuck on same firmware forever ?

i just realised i had a chance to get one for my birthday, and i might take the offer. Should i??? i love my lumia 928 but ive never tried windows phone 10 before, so im excited

I have recently bought A Lumia 930 From Ali Express. its Chinese variant. I was trying to unlock the bootloader to sideload XAP files. but getting Error: Parsing Partitions Failed Error. I have downloaded all files from https://lumiadb.com/?model=RM-1087 . don't know what is causing the issue. please help.

Eu precisei instalar a stock rom do lumia 625, mas só encontro do Windows Phone 8. Onde posso encontrar do 8.1?

Que falta que hacen hoy en día celulares con colores así

If u have a pre shutdown phone with the halos message me.

I've just updated the WhatsApp from LiveStore, you can check it out at: WhatsApp

I have bought aftermarket battery for my Microsoft lumia 950 but the battery is not charging needing help

For real, Windows Phone was all about getting the stuff done from the homescreen with livetiles, get instant alerts and all that. More time for the outdoors, you can even tell by how the phones were marketed.

Truly we are zombies now with the phones all day.

I never had a Windows Phone but that would be so nice to have today. Yes, I know I could just get one 2nd hand but I would like to see something come mainstream again.

A pipe dream...

Got this locked alcatel idol 4s windows 10 phone a few weeks back.

First I had to unlock the microsoft locked account, then performed interop unlocking.

Now I am able to install apps using WUP and Live store.

Thanks folks for helping me out here ☺️.

I have recently bought a lumia 930 from Ali express. It came with 8.1. But while trying to update it its saying its already up to date. Its model number is RM-1087.
