Hello, Is it possible in anyway to get android working on a nokia lumia 830? Im willing to almost do everything.
If it dosent work, is it anyways to get snapchat working?
No, you can't get android on your Lumia.
Again ? Seriously, why did you get a Lumia if you wanted an Android phone ? You picked like one among a million, turn from the 999,999 others and want this exceptional one to be like all the others ? but why didn't you pick any of the 999,999 others, then ???
I know this tread is old but with the new version of window phone internal we will be able to do it. We just wait for a custom android ROM like the Android on Lumia project did for 520 and 720 and we got android on that 830!

The Lumia 830 is a strong phone ! so if you have a way to put a full working Android on Lumia 830, please let us know here
Hi guys, I'm new here so please bear with me. Also, I know this is mainly Android website, so sorry in advance.
I have Nokia Lumia 520 for 3 years straight, not yet unlocked, modded or anything. And I know I should buy more powerful Android phone, but this phone is dear to my heart and I don't want to replace it. But here is the deal there are no new apps, old ones don't get new updates (lately even Facebook apps don't work, iE is shutting down by itself). So I was thinking that I should "upgrade" it somehow (read a bunch of posts about my Lumia running on latest Android OS, not yet stable, but if it is capable of doing this, it can do more than this ****ty 8.1)?
Any advice is welcome! Tutorial links for unloking, modding and everything else are welcome too!
Hi Guys,
i'm thinking between mi a1 and nokia 6.1 (2018), mi a1 has 1 gb more ram na dual camera but nokia 6.1 have snapdragon 630 which is almost 25% better that 625, also build design is almost premium on the nokia.
Can u please tell me what are u thinking?

I would start with SW part. Do you need/want to unlock bootloader (easy root, custom kernels, custom ROMs, ..)? If yes, forget Nokia.

Maybe Mi A1 also? :cyclops:
- Mi A1 is released Sep. 2017
- "with Android One, your phone will receive at least two years of OS upgrades to the latest version of Android"
- Nougat and Oreo were released in August, it seems P will be too
...which means, the Xiaomi Mi A1 will get Android Q for shure - if Q is officially released by Google till 31st August 2019.
It´s in the two-years-time-frame

Don't hope too much because its Xiaomi, hoping will only lead you to disappointment.

Mi A1 will get Android P and that's it.
Two major updates, and one more year for security updates.

Yes, we will receive Android Q...unofficially, Xiaomi can provide Android P (Maybe, i'm not really sure) then only security patches, nothing more, and for a 200€ phone i'm already Happy with Oreo 8.1 ?
Android One includes:
- 18 months of software support
- One major update
- Several small security updates.
We already received:
- One major update
- One minor update
- Monthly security updates
And we were promised Android P when the device launched (a second major update). I'd say we're getting our money's worth with this device

I´m with you all that there will be no official "Q" for Mi A1
But Xiaomi says "Mi A1 ships with Android Nougat, and will receive 2 years minimum of OS upgrades."

Tnx 4 the answer, i dont want to root install roms etc.. (simple no time for that ). My only question was what is better to trade +1gb ram (mi a1) or better chipset sd 630 Nokia also build quality?

If u are okay with stock(no root,no custom roms,no bootloader unlock) go with nokia..but remember after 2 years u won't get any update on nokia.. but with mi a1 u will still get custom roms based on Q?
Just asking, why those things aren't possible in Nokia 6.1? Is there no official kernel source of that phone?

I prefer more RAM than slightly better chipset. From my experience, more RAM has bigger positive impact on usage than a bit faster/more effective chipset.
As mi a1 user I wouldn't recommend this **** to anyone. Newest downgrade (8.1) brought SMS wipe and throttling. I'm pretty sure this **** is like the only phone on Snapdragon 625 throttling. I tried to play music through Bluetooth speaker and used Facebook messenger and device was almost unusable, typing was laggy like hell.
Xiaomi is disappointment, I don't get why is this brand shilled so much over internet. I just wanted a phone with android one, and I got piece of **** that gets worse and worse every ****ing "update".

Maybe ur right but u must consider that snapdragon 630 have LPDDR4 dual channel on 1333MHz and SD 625 is single channel LPDDR3 on 933 Mhz, this means SD 630 have faster ram and lower power consumption (better battery). Also here is X12 LTE vs X9 LTE, Quick charge 4.0 vs 3.0, and more important Adreno 508 vs 506 which 508 have 30% better performances.
How u can see SD 630 have a lot of advantage, i think if u have SD 625 VS 626 then maybe is smarter to get +1 ram unlike chipset, but how i said SD 630 is one generation at front 625 in all aspects.
Thank u for ur help and suggestions.

While memory interface is faster, there is no reason why the power consumption should be better, in fact the Nokia 6.1 has poorer battery performance in the gsmarena review. There is no practical benefit from X12 lte vs X9 or faster QC 3.0 vs 4.0. The real world differences is very slight or zero. The MiA1 does not have QC at all which I do not see as a downside since QC degrades the battery faster especially lower capacity ones like the MiA1.
The big plus of the A1 is the larger and more involved modding community compared to the nearly zero Nokia forum activity which was probably why you chose to post here. There is help for many issues like low light camera performance whereas Nokia doesn't even have an official (almost zero unofficial, probably buggy) TWRP.
And since you aren't interested in modding or rooting and going to upgrade the phone in 1yr, why is the raw performance of the SOC so important? You shouldn't be bothered if its a 625 or 630 at all in that case since the difference is so slight. You sound like you are keeping it for 10yrs by fussing over the small differences in GPU/LTE etc.
