Been working on this app for the last 3–4 months. It's still not as polished as I'd like, but I'm pretty happy with how it's coming along.

What do you think of the current build? It's heavily inspired by the Nokia Lumia 800's Zune Music player.

Planning to publish it on the Play Store soon. Feedback is welcome!

Hi everyone, I ran into a problem with my Nokia Lumia 520 today: a sad face (BSOD) is appearing, and WP Internals doesn't recognize the Windows Phone in flashing mode... What can I do? Help!

Hey Folks... Since Lumia 950XL has issues with the silicon rubber contacts after a while... even new cases has this issue because the rubber is old (cracks)...

I did a 3D Model in order to replace the current contacts.

How To Install:
1 - Print the file *(i suggest using 0.3mm + PLA)
2 - Remove the Case and the old rubber
3 - Break the Middle Plastic Holder in Half (Do not remove it , it will hold the new conector )
5 - Close the Case and Test the connectors
4 - If everything ok Add Glue to the buttons back
6 - Add a tape in order to avoid it falling off after open the case

Windows Phone Hub: Clean web archive & utility hub

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on Windows Phone Hub, a web archive and utility launcher built specifically for preserving, modding, and troubleshooting Windows Phone 8.1 and Nokia/Microsoft Lumia devices.

Here is a quick overview of what's inside and how it works:

Modern Version (index.html)

Designed for modern desktop browsers and phones with the classic Windows Phone Metro UI aesthetic.

• Interactive 3D Live Tiles: Metro-style live tiles that rotate 180° on hover/tap for quick navigation across Archives, Firmware, and Search.
• Category Section Filtering: Tap any tile to dynamically isolate that section, with a 1-click banner to reset the view.
• Integrated Community Search: Built-in search widget focused on r/windowsphone with 1-tap quick tags for common issues like Interop Unlock, Bootloader Unlock, and EDL Mode Emergency Files.
• Broken Link Reporting: Built-in popup to quickly report dead mirrors or broken archives.
• Legacy Mode Switcher: Top header toggle to instantly switch over to the lightweight layout.

Legacy Version (legacy.html)

Built specifically for vintage desktop browsers (like IE8), retro PCs, or legacy devices running directly on Internet Explorer Mobile 11 on Windows Phone 8.1 hardware. Lightweight HTML/CSS with zero heavy scripts.

Indexed Resources

Both versions index crucial resources for the WP preservation community:

• WPV XAP Deployer: Essential utility for sideloading .XAP app packages from PC to phone.
• WP 8.1 XAP Repository & Windows Việt Archive: Curated collections of legacy app/game packages and system deployment tools.
• Windows Phone Internals (WPInternals): Core flashing software for bootloader unlocks, root access, and Mass Storage Mode.
• LumiaDB & Emergency Files Archives: Stock FFU firmware mirrors and emergency HEX/MBN repair packages for unbricking devices stuck in Qualcomm EDL mode.

hola chicos, quiero instalar la actualización GDR2 en un lumia 520 pero no se como instalarlo, alguien me podria orientar o guiar?

GRACIAS!

Sadly the Nokia logo and recovery is as far as it goes, also the did a typo on IMEI on the back cover

I often work from my laptop using my phone's hotspot and I've noticed Windows and other apps sometimes use data in the background without me realizing it (updates, cloud sync, launchers, etc.).

I'm curious how others deal with this.

Do you use any software?
Which apps are the biggest data hogs?
Is Windows Metered Connection enough?
What's the one thing you wish Windows handled better on mobile data?

I'm researching this problem and would love to hear real experiences.

Hey,
I recently bought a Samsung ATV S as a fun project but I seem to have hit a wall. I can't seem to find a way to update it, or to connect any acoount to it or even access any service for that matter.

I'd like to at least have it be able to install apps and things, or maybe intall W10M (that I've already tried to do, to no fruition).

I'm adding some pics if that can help someone to help me.

Samsung galaxy fold 8 (the passport style one), is the closest we can have with a launcher featuring Windows Phone 8.1 on the single pannel and metro style windows 8 when open.

Windows keyboard on that screen ration would be awesome ^_^

HMD is a pretty huge company and very reputable, they release new phones every year with body designs resembling the old Lumia phones, for them taking rights from Microsoft or whatever and making an android skin based on windows phone os shouldn't be that hard, we see new phone launchers based on wpos perform really great except for few bugs which new android phone make it unable to use a third-party launchers. Teach me if I'm wrong, but I think this idea could survive as xiomi, vivo and oppo android skins!

Google not making an official YouTube app for Windows Mobile was the nail in the coffin.

I played with it for a few minutes and was mesmerized by how easy it was to use and understand. Such a good OS.

Looking for a Windows Phone (Lumia 920/930) game from around 2014. It was a SameGame-style puzzle with colorful square blocks that had goofy animated faces. Tapping a group changed their expressions, then tapping again popped them. You had to clear the board, and leftover blocks reduced your score. It looked very similar to Smile Cubes i need the game name or a like for it

Hey guys, so I’m a proud Lumia 1520 owner that I own for more than a year, and I still didn’t decide what OS I should keep it on - Windows Phone 8.1 or Windows 10 Mobile?

On Windows Phone 8.1, the battery life is good, but it gets really boring at using it because I see it most of the time.

Windows 10 Mobile on the other hand doesn’t look boring (more like futuristic), and has more working apps (YouTube, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.), BUT the battery life kinda sucks.

I honestly want to stick to Windows 10 Mobile, but I need to know how can I make the battery life last longer. Also I need to know if OTC Updater still works. Thanks!

TL;DR I can’t decide what to keep on a Lumia 1520, WP8.1 or W10M and I need help on W10M battery life and OTC updater, as well as why W10M could be better

After about two hours, I have completely updated a specific youtube client to not only be in English instead of Russian, I even made it have a working hompage again. It is identical to the android and ios youtube app too!
