In recent months thousands of users who bought the Nokia Lumia 525 at the time have been disappointed with the news from Microsoft. News in which it was indicated that the mobile, almost new, would not receive any more updates to Windows Phone, especially the new version of Windows 10 Mobile.
This has meant that not only Lumia 525 users abandon mobile and the ecosystem but other users leave it to go to Android or another mobile operating system. But some users are reluctant to throw away their Lumia 525.
One of these lovers of Lumia 525 has managed to port Android 6 to mobile, getting rid of Windows Phone 8 and making the latest version of Android functional on these terminals.
For this the user Banmeifyouwant, creator of the project, has removed the UEFI from the phone as well as the Windows software and has managed to replace it with the Android LK manager together with the TWRP and a port of CyanogenMod 13, equivalent to Android 6.0.1.
In addition, the steps and the necessary software have been uploaded to the popular XDA-Developers forum, a forum where many users try to provide customizations and solutions to the problems that certain mobiles present. In this case, the Lumia 525 works with Android, although it would have been better than these mobiles could work with Windows 10 Mobile as the Xiaomi Mi4 currently does.
Android development for the Lumia is not finished yet and there are things that do not work, but as you can see in the image, the Android operating system works and some elements do not work like the gyroscope but the most difficult thing is already done. The creator of the project himself has stated that You could do the same with the Nokia Lumia 520, a terminal with 512 MB of ram compared to 1 Gb of ram that the Lumia 525 has. So, if you really are one of those affected by Microsoft's decision, in this link you can make use of this solution, a solution less loved by the guys at Microsoft.
Could it apply to the Lumia 640 XL?
And why do I buy a Lumia if you don't want Windows. There are people who directly do not know what they buy.
We all really expected more from Microsoft. And instead of increasing its sales, it decreased them, that is why now everyone is changing their Operating System.
This way it works, that smartphone with those 512 mb of Ram will suffer a lot, even with 1 Gb, it is well known that Android eats a lot of RAM, not like wp that uses it better.
