Microsoft Lumia 540 Dual Sim - Customize - Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.

Hey,
I have a Microsoft Lumia 540 Dual Sim. Since support for Windows Phone is ending, wanted to do something to make it unique I guess like custom ROM for instance.
Found the WPI link. But the link doesn't work now as I am getting parsing error. Plus I don't think it supports Lumia 540.
So yeah, drop me your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. First post. Go easy on me.

There will be any way to install a ROM of Windows Mobile 6.5 or Windows Phone 7 to a terminal of Motorola Atrix, any suggestions comments would be welcome.
Thank you for comment.
I would say no, neither one of those systems support dual core processor!

Cheer up aLeXiNDj,
Windows 8 is fabulous on a touchscreen device and an ARM version will be coming next year some time to play with.

Windows Lumia 950

I am a complete noob to anything lumia related. I just wanted to get an idea what would be a good reason to debrand my phone. I have the Lumia 950. I would love a solutution to be able to use Android stuff on it but I see Astoria has been dumped by Microsoft.
Are there any experts out there that knows a way to force either Astoria onto the 950 or other method to get Android apps working.
Many thanks in advance.

Update Windows 10 on Lumia 950 beyond FCU (1709)

Has anyone figured out a way to upgrade Windows on a Lumia 950 beyond Fall Creator's Update 1709? It doesn't have to be the 1909 update. It would have to be sideloaded, I know.
As Windows 10 Mobile has been discontinued since December 2019, there is no way to get a new version of the Mobile OS. There is the LumiaWOA project, but since it's fairly slow, buggy and lacks features (cameras, Windows Hello face unlock and more) I don't recommend you use it unless it's for LOLs.
For reference, the latest W10M version is 10.0.15254.603
I've read about installing things like Android on the phone, but as you said, things like the camera will be lost, so what's the point? Rats!
So far, I've managed to come up with workarounds with my "daily driver" 950, but what may eventually get me will be when the web browsers that work on the 950 series get eliminated. I'm going to hold on to the bitter end. They can have my Windows Phone when they "pry it from my cold, dead hand".

Yes, there was an Android FFU for the XL, but that's in very unusable state as basically just the display and touch work (and it was more of an April Fools thing anyways.
Drivers for everything else, from the graphics processor to charging capability need to be made based on Windows drivers and if possible, some can be picked from devices with a similar board.
Not sure if anyone is willing to bother with that though... I think we all would love to see an effort from Microsoft, but it's very unlikely to happen so all we can do is dream and hope it'll remain usable for those who do daily it.
I switched on my 950 XL today just for fun after a year or so, an update was waiting. It does it now (second pack) for 4 hours, almost finish. Have a look at what's happened when finished.
I'd be very interested in what number your update is. Theoretically, the 950 and 950XL are identical from an OS standpoint. Maybe the 950XL is eligible because it's an octa core processor.
I've heard that some guys have managed to install Windows 10 ARM on the 950, and I have a spare 950. But I've heard that there are issues with that route.

How can i get benefit from 950 XL

Hello All,
I have almost a brand new device that working just fine, I want to know if there is anyway to use this device again ?
Not as a windows phone device of course but is there any upgrade/convert can be done to the device to make it usable again ? even as a entertainment device not a functional phone.
Thanks in advance

I put Windows 11 on my test Lumia and found out how useless it is. I don't want to think what massacre Android is doing on this hardware.
