I freaked out when you said HTC HD1 at first haha + This is a GREAT video, it was so fun too see the process and the end result, you deserve loads more subs :D
I had a HTC HD2 for a while and enjoyed experimenting with different operating systems on it. I used it for a long time with Windows Phone 7, only getting a new phone when Windows Phone 8 and the Nokia Lumia 920 released, which had a mail in bonus for a wireless charger (Windows Phone got into that super early). I was gutted when my HD2 finally died, and even then it was just the charge port that stopped working. My 920 is still kicking with a broken microphone though and I bought a 950 XL just to experiment with not long ago so hearing about Tiny11 is really cool. Definitely giving this a try later.
926 If i recall correctly, you still get this on the windows 11 installer if you continue to hit F12 after selecting the USB device, basically it is a sub menu that allows you to select multiple ISOs if you have it set up that way. I think the menu still pops up even if you use the microsoft media creation tool with only the one ISO
I guess I could say, that Pocophone F1 is the real successor to HTC HD2 when it comes to modding. I mean come on, It could run almost any OS you throw at it. From the latest version of Android, (Given the fact that Poco abandoned the phone on Android 10) to Windows 11, and Even Linux. (PostMarket, Ubuntu. ArchLinux). plus that bonus active devs.
this looks like an exciting Sunday afternoon experiment! The camera of 950XL is outstanding even by today's standards and it probably becomes unusable after the Win 11 installation ? Is a rollback of windows 10 mobile possible once I am done with ?
Yes, it's a fun project. The camera sadly stopps working. But you can go back very easy by flashing the original firmware again. Just make sure that you find the correct one for your phone and region first.
The biggest problem of installing an unsupported OS on Lumia phones, is not that the OS starts and runs as this video proved, but whether the windows 11 Tiny kernel does support and allows the function of typical smatphones components as the camera, the wifi, etc., and these functionalities were not shown to work on this video.
If microsoft tries and put more effort into making there own in house arm architecture design and make windows work on it with the drawbacks we are facing right now thay can easily compete with apple in laptop and mobile space

Hey.. am a big fan of windows phone. Sad that they don't make it anymore. I was wondering can I have the Windows mobile OS in today's phone? I really love their UI.
Hi :) Sadly windows mobile is dead and you can't install it on a modern phone. If you are on Android you can replace your phones menu with a lookalike to windows mobile by installing a windows mobile launcher.
Great video! you think it's possible to get this working on a 950 non XL ? In France the 950 XL is not findable, but the non XL is quite cheap (around 50 euros)
Absolutely. The tutorials work for both phones. The website states that "processor management is broken - only the 4 A53 cores are working, but locked to 763Mhz". So the performance is probably worse.
Would have been nice to see the windows 11 experience on portrait mode rather that landscape though. I mean, a smartphone is mainly meant to be used on portrait mode
@@user-fx9lc4gg6umost people use portrait mode. Not only that but Windows 11 is clearly not optimized for primarily touch interactions, let alone being on a sub 8" display
interasting. can it also run an external display? because if it did that, it would be a super efficent PC. not sure how many apps have an ARM version but at least you get an interface that is meant for mouse and keyboard(interfaces that aren't meant for it tend to be a bit of a pain to use).
@@2kBofFun well its even more super cheap if someone already owns the phone. but than again, they would have to buy a dongle to connect stuff to the phone. i have a Surface tablet that works pretty well when docked with a full sized monitor so i probably won't be spending any money on more efficent options. but hey, might help someone i guess.
I'm pretty sure it worked with all of my USB-C hubs (Microsoft Display Dock and some generic dock), also Windows 11 can run x86/desktop apps via emulation.
I had the Lumia950 in 2015. It was a great phone, too expensive if you compared its stats with other brands, but the OS was great. Softwaresupport was the biggest issue and MS was too proud to open up to android. Microsoft appstore is not good now but it was an even bigger joke back then. They wanted to create their own ecosystem and become a competitor to Google and Apple. Even the idea thats possible in a saturated market is dumb, but they tried anyways. And failed miserably. However, the Lumias had an always-on display, AND wireless charging in 2015! + a badass camera, so hardware-wise a pretty neat phone. Seeing your Vid now makes me kinda regret giving away the phone. I had it sitting in a drawer til last year.
Very true. The hardware was very good. Even the software was. Android has much improved but back in 2015 I think windows 10 was the better os. Sadly the lack of apps killed it
Actually back then the idea was not dumb at all and they even started selling some good numbers in some markets.... I think in France they even outsold Apple at 1 point. Issue was that MS never put any real effort in it. Even their own employees, outside of windows phone team were using mostly iphones and androids as daily drivers so even integration of their own products like Outlook/exchange worked much better on competitors devices than their own. And you can't have successful product if only 1 department is driving it. Projects like this one require initiative from the entire company. If they have done that form the start, made all their products work best with their devices, invested a bit more into app ecosystem and marketing, maybe even made a deals with larger app developers to pay them to make a native apps, instead of bad ported ones, we would definitely have a 3rd equal player on the market... maybe even a new market leader. Because WP definitely had potential and in a lot of aspects it was years ahead of competition. WP UI is still by far the best UI for phones and there were tons of features that both Apple and Google straight-up copied and monetized, while no one outside of WP enthusiasts even knew existed on WP. Just look at the Google maps live view.... it's only now arriving on android, and only in some markets..... "Nokia maps" had this feature almost 10 years ago. And there are tons more of similar examples.
Nice video, but can you install tiny win 11 pro on any old phone even with less ram and rom? I have an old phone that i can use and recently found back. I saw in other videos that they installed it on really old hardware with less than 1gb of ram. Or perhaps that was the tiny win 10 version. For me it just looks like fun to try out. I do not care if i brick the phone. And i need something to see my nas and play music from it on my music system. And yes it is easier to use a win laptop but that is not the point.
Thanks for the comment :) The short answer is no. This sis the oldest phone you can install Windows 10 or 11 on. The reason you see people using tiny 11 on super old devices is the CPU architecture of those devices. They are all X86 (Like a desktop pc). The video here installed it on an ARM device (so a phone). There the requirements are quite different and as far as I know the Lumia 950 from this video is already the absolute low-end.
SIM Card works, calls also but sms not as far as I know. But the camera is also not working and the battery life as well. So not useful as a main phone
Guys, if you can install Windows 2000 or XP or Vista or 7 or 8 or 8.1 or 10 or 11 so please choose this: now i ❤ to install Windows 7 Professional SP1 on My Lumia 950XL, now pin my comment to see my entire life!
It was a bloodthirsty battle bewteen the big 3, they didnt fail it. It was a good battle and they fell to treachery. They just should have put apps in containers and had done with it.
Yes its super cool. They also port them to newer phones. I did a video on a Pocophone with full windows 11. I even played games drom a dvd. Tiny Windows devices are awsome :) I have a few videos on some of them like the GPD Pockets.
Microsoft edge doesn't fully close unless you check off the option to let it run in the background on the performance/system setting section in the browser.
:D Yeah, many people notice that. The screen was just so reflective that I overlayed it with captured video so it would still be visible in the video :)
the coolest part of win phone was it let you install apps on the sd card it self which was too much work to get done on android I was hope full MS will do something like conver phone into mini pc on your hands and may let pc apps to work on phone but that never came and lack of apps led to switch back to android
True, that was a very cool feature that was implemented way better than in android .I had the same hope. They would now have the technology to do that. A phone that is a phone on the go and can dock at home to be a PC. That would be so cool.
Overall great phone, camera was just wonderful. If not considering the original battery after 6 months of use just went crazy and phone started randomly turn off and last time it happened it started to swell up and almost blew up, good thing you can take the battery out 😂
thanks for the nice video. I have 2 Questions. First of all, is it possible to connect to HDMI and second, can you still boot into the Windows Phone OS for using it as a phone?
you have made a multiboot. ending up with only 4 gb free. would you still recommend multiboot? or ditch wm11... i want to install photoshop also but likely on sdcard .. what is your advice (reason i want photoshop and w11 is because i want to hook this phone up to my display tablet for drawing (huion kamvas 11) extended screen to draw on)
I would not recommend multiboot since, as you said the space is very limited. I also wouldn't realy recommend using this phone productively. Photoshop can be demanding and this phone does not have that much power.
@@TechKingdom35 ill try that. no multyboot, im just hoping i can get it to work. just need it for sketching coloring , no fancy effects/filtering. might not work but gotta try lol. if its not what i want can i still get wm10 back on , reinstalling phones rom?
@@TechKingdom35 damn its been 6 months i see.... (never got to it due to renovation of house.) however i did go back to this video.. the best ever description on how to get windows on lumia... and last night i did just that... flawless following your video.....and it works... toasty phone with windows ..thanks.. will put on a arm version of a drawing progam on later on this week.. will be playing with it tonight with it hooked up to a tablet display . only annoying thing so far is if the phone is off and you want to charge it (not turn it on) putting in a charging cable turns on the phone... and if i dont put the startmenu in dummy itl start the windows automaticly.... but hey its still freeking awesome i now have a windows phone with real windows...making a cast with a bluetooth keyboard/mousepad thing in it this weeken so it looks like tiny laptop tooo hehe...(i willleave a comment as soon as i tested drawing on it with pentablet how it goes) love your videos
@sadev101 Hey, thanks for that comment. Really made my day :) Cool that it worked. And yes, the charging solution is a bit annoying, but as you said, real windows on a phone is awsome.
Arevyou sure? Because there is some coil looking thing on the backcover that connects to those pins. But I haven't tested if wireless charging stops working if I would block the pins
Interesting, I am going to pick up a 950XL purely for the camera because it had a 2 stage shutter button and was a great camera, I tried to keep going with the 950XL for a long time but eventually I had to switch to a NOKIA 8.3 running android using a windows launcher (Launcher 10 which is very good) but for the camera alone, I will buy a 950XL
does the front and rear camera both works on this distro? anyway looks cool. the lightweight version of win11 looks promising..however, if i flash this on my lumia 950 XL will i able to revert back to normal or is it irreversible? thanks anyway for the tutorial.
@@agoddamnferret A few. Celular is a bit buggy with dual-sim devices. My 950 XL is dual sim and sometimes the SIM random stop working and I need to restart. But it works well. Also you will never be able to use 2 SIMs at the same time, it only detects one. There is also a bug in Tiny11 where the Glance Screen settings in Lumia Settings app can't be opened. This makes me unable to disable Glance Screen. But it doesn't matter at all. Also sometimes when I plug it into charger and after I unplug the screen just doesn't turn on. Ctrl+alt+del (power+vol down) works sometimes but when it doesn't I need to force reboot it. Overall it works.
I've seen another video where a guy installed a Windows 11 (full version) on a OnePlus. I think it was a OnePlus 8. He also played some Crysis 3 on it. It wasn't super smooth but it was playable.
Aaaahhh. The HD2 what nostalgia. I had one from new and was so angry with Microsoft when they did nothing with their mobile OS. But it continued to be my main phone for many many years running all manner of different OS. I wonder where I put it?🤔
I didn't want the video to become an hour long. I did test x86 Software on the Lumia in the next video. I also tested x86 Software on a Pocophone in a more recent video.
Windows Phone was so good. If only Google hadn't sabotaged the thing, it would be such a great alternative to the iPhone. Imagine, every single Windows PC having seamless connection with your phone, and all you need is a specific phone with also a banger of a camera for a fraction of the flagship prices.
True it was a very good operating system. And it is very sad to see its downfall. The seemless switching between phone and PC would have been a killer feature and I'm sure the technology is there now but Microsoft probably won't do anything with it
I miss using my windows phone. It had the best keyboard. Android keyboards are ok and ios spelling correction is dumb beyond belief. I was pretty sad when I realised I installed a broken version of windows 10 mobile on my lumia 1320 and I had no way of reverting it back to something that worked. It’s neat seeing people still working on their lumias. Wish I could do something with mine.
great stuff. I love(d) my Lumia ... what a Camera! Would really like is to be able to use it as a phone within in tiny Win11 ... I guess, it would just have to be a whats app fone... as MS dropped Microsoft phone updates at least 4 years ago.....
Yeah, what a phone. It can do calls and sms wfrom tiny11. But there is no WhatsApp app for this version of windows. Sadly microsoft is known for dropping support of relatively new devices. The most recent example being the Surface Duo
Hey cool, an ARM version of Tiny11. And you have an HD2, always wanted one. Great video, well done!
Dude thanks for your comment, I really like your videos. Yes the HD2 is a great phone, but you have a Fujitsu F-07C :) That thing is just insane.

Enjoyed the video you earned a sub right away
Great video!
you think it's possible to get this working on a 950 non XL ?
In France the 950 XL is not findable, but the non XL is quite cheap (around 50 euros)
Absolutely. The tutorials work for both phones. The website states that "processor management is broken - only the 4 A53 cores are working, but locked to 763Mhz". So the performance is probably worse.
@@TechKingdom35 Thank you so much for your answer!
@@TaoEffects Pas de problème :)
The website hasnt been updated in a while. The 763 MHz limit has been removed a while ago and it now runs at 1.55 Ghz
@@pinguin2001 Cool, thanks for the information.
Lumia 950 is my favorite phone only this one
It still looks very modern
My father used to use palm and o2 mobile 20 years ago with windows mobile os. Amazing phone used to operate using touch screen
True, Windows Mobile was a super cool os.

My lumia stop at reset protection key 5ys ago
How can I fix it???
Would have been nice to see the windows 11 experience on portrait mode rather that landscape though. I mean, a smartphone is mainly meant to be used on portrait mode
LOL
FOR YOU MAYBE
I DO EVERYTHING IN LANDSCAPE MODE ON MY S20U
@@user-fx9lc4gg6u
Heh same
@@user-fx9lc4gg6umost people use portrait mode. Not only that but Windows 11 is clearly not optimized for primarily touch interactions, let alone being on a sub 8" display
interasting. can it also run an external display? because if it did that, it would be a super efficent PC. not sure how many apps have an ARM version but at least you get an interface that is meant for mouse and keyboard(interfaces that aren't meant for it tend to be a bit of a pain to use).
You are probably better off with Debian to make it a super cheap helluvalot faster Raspberry Pi.
@@2kBofFun well its even more super cheap if someone already owns the phone. but than again, they would have to buy a dongle to connect stuff to the phone. i have a Surface tablet that works pretty well when docked with a full sized monitor so i probably won't be spending any money on more efficent options. but hey, might help someone i guess.
I'm pretty sure it worked with all of my USB-C hubs (Microsoft Display Dock and some generic dock), also Windows 11 can run x86/desktop apps via emulation.
As said before: I think he left out the "cons" for reasons... like having no sound and cam and stuff...
insane as always
Cool vid dude. Btw are you gonna play doom on it?
Already did that in the followup video. It ran very very slow :D
Snapdragon 8..still a beast
True, but the 810 runs a little hot
Biggest issue with 950 was poor power management... Great to know, that W11 can still somehow run on these devices.
True cool to see windows 11 running but it really didn't help the power management problematic :D
Welcome to 2023 and most Android flagships still suck at power management.
I would love to see Microsoft release another windows phone
Absolutely
That's really freaking cool.
I had the Lumia950 in 2015.
It was a great phone, too expensive if you compared its stats with other brands, but the OS was great. Softwaresupport was the biggest issue and MS was too proud to open up to android. Microsoft appstore is not good now but it was an even bigger joke back then. They wanted to create their own ecosystem and become a competitor to Google and Apple. Even the idea thats possible in a saturated market is dumb, but they tried anyways. And failed miserably.
However, the Lumias had an always-on display, AND wireless charging in 2015! + a badass camera, so hardware-wise a pretty neat phone.
Seeing your Vid now makes me kinda regret giving away the phone. I had it sitting in a drawer til last year.
Very true. The hardware was very good. Even the software was. Android has much improved but back in 2015 I think windows 10 was the better os. Sadly the lack of apps killed it
Actually back then the idea was not dumb at all and they even started selling some good numbers in some markets.... I think in France they even outsold Apple at 1 point. Issue was that MS never put any real effort in it. Even their own employees, outside of windows phone team were using mostly iphones and androids as daily drivers so even integration of their own products like Outlook/exchange worked much better on competitors devices than their own.
And you can't have successful product if only 1 department is driving it. Projects like this one require initiative from the entire company.
If they have done that form the start, made all their products work best with their devices, invested a bit more into app ecosystem and marketing, maybe even made a deals with larger app developers to pay them to make a native apps, instead of bad ported ones, we would definitely have a 3rd equal player on the market... maybe even a new market leader. Because WP definitely had potential and in a lot of aspects it was years ahead of competition.
WP UI is still by far the best UI for phones and there were tons of features that both Apple and Google straight-up copied and monetized, while no one outside of WP enthusiasts even knew existed on WP. Just look at the Google maps live view.... it's only now arriving on android, and only in some markets..... "Nokia maps" had this feature almost 10 years ago.
And there are tons more of similar examples.
I have a question... If we can put Tiny11 on a Windows Phone, then... CAN WE PUT WINDOWS XP ON IT ? 😭
Nope, sadly not. It needs to be an operating system build for cpus with the arm instruction set. Windows XP is only build for x86 cpus
@@TechKingdom35 Ok, i did my search on the internet and apparently, windows 10 supports ARM. Btw, thanks for responding to my comment :D
Where do you have the flashfile from ?
Great video! Thank you 😊 Could you do a video on installing ubuntu touch (or another linux distro) on the lumia 950?
Thanks. I do want to do that at some time. Ubuntu Touch is a very interesting OS :)
@@TechKingdom35 I would be very interest about that for sure
I loved my Lumia 950 XL, but it sits now collecting dust. Guess I'd better pull it out of storage.

Nice video, but can you install tiny win 11 pro on any old phone even with less ram and rom? I have an old phone that i can use and recently found back. I saw in other videos that they installed it on really old hardware with less than 1gb of ram. Or perhaps that was the tiny win 10 version. For me it just looks like fun to try out. I do not care if i brick the phone. And i need something to see my nas and play music from it on my music system. And yes it is easier to use a win laptop but that is not the point.
Thanks for the comment :) The short answer is no. This sis the oldest phone you can install Windows 10 or 11 on. The reason you see people using tiny 11 on super old devices is the CPU architecture of those devices. They are all X86 (Like a desktop pc). The video here installed it on an ARM device (so a phone). There the requirements are quite different and as far as I know the Lumia 950 from this video is already the absolute low-end.
great video but, wat about the mobile phone usage ? SIM Card , Call and SMS still working ?
SIM Card works, calls also but sms not as far as I know. But the camera is also not working and the battery life as well. So not useful as a main phone
Put android x86 on there
I tried, but for now had no success with android.

@@averagerobloxsimp hey it would be worth a try
Guys, if you can install Windows 2000 or XP or Vista or 7 or 8 or 8.1 or 10 or 11 so please choose this: now i ❤ to install Windows 7 Professional SP1 on My Lumia 950XL, now pin my comment to see my entire life!
Best phone i ever had!!😢😢😢 Videos from this phone look so awesome even today. I dont use apps when there is a website, like Facebook
True it had a very good camera
When I deploy it's getting error file not found
So sad for nokia 😓, they sold the company to windows and they failed it 😭
True. Very sad to see. They made such great phones
It was a bloodthirsty battle bewteen the big 3, they didnt fail it. It was a good battle and they fell to treachery. They just should have put apps in containers and had done with it.
They did not sell it to microsoft they just mace a project together
Did not know that people are porting desktop windows on old Lumia phones. Tiny Windows devices fascinates me.
Yes its super cool. They also port them to newer phones. I did a video on a Pocophone with full windows 11. I even played games drom a dvd. Tiny Windows devices are awsome :) I have a few videos on some of them like the GPD Pockets.
@@TechKingdom35 BTW, Windows Mobile OS (based from Windows CE) is different from Windows Phone OS.
Microsoft edge doesn't fully close unless you check off the option to let it run in the background on the performance/system setting section in the browser.
Yes, I somehow forgot that during filming
love how his fingers dissapeared when moving it on the screen
:D Yeah, many people notice that. The screen was just so reflective that I overlayed it with captured video so it would still be visible in the video :)
This is my type of content I like
Thanks
the coolest part of win phone was it let you install apps on the sd card it self which was too much work to get done on android
I was hope full MS will do something like conver phone into mini pc on your hands and may let pc apps to work on phone
but that never came and lack of apps led to switch back to android
True, that was a very cool feature that was implemented way better than in android .I had the same hope. They would now have the technology to do that. A phone that is a phone on the go and can dock at home to be a PC. That would be so cool.
Overall great phone, camera was just wonderful. If not considering the original battery after 6 months of use just went crazy and phone started randomly turn off and last time it happened it started to swell up and almost blew up, good thing you can take the battery out 😂
:D The original note7. But yes user replaceable batteries are very useful
thanks for the nice video. I have 2 Questions. First of all, is it possible to connect to HDMI and second, can you still boot into the Windows Phone OS for using it as a phone?
you have made a multiboot. ending up with only 4 gb free. would you still recommend multiboot? or ditch wm11... i want to install photoshop also but likely on sdcard .. what is your advice
(reason i want photoshop and w11 is because i want to hook this phone up to my display tablet for drawing (huion kamvas 11) extended screen to draw on)
I would not recommend multiboot since, as you said the space is very limited. I also wouldn't realy recommend using this phone productively. Photoshop can be demanding and this phone does not have that much power.
@@TechKingdom35 ill try that. no multyboot, im just hoping i can get it to work. just need it for sketching coloring , no fancy effects/filtering. might not work but gotta try lol. if its not what i want can i still get wm10 back on , reinstalling phones rom?
@@sadev101 Okay, I hope it works out. Yes you can reinstall windows phone
@@TechKingdom35 damn its been 6 months i see.... (never got to it due to renovation of house.) however i did go back to this video.. the best ever description on how to get windows on lumia... and last night i did just that... flawless following your video.....and it works... toasty phone with windows ..thanks.. will put on a arm version of a drawing progam on later on this week.. will be playing with it tonight with it hooked up to a tablet display . only annoying thing so far is if the phone is off and you want to charge it (not turn it on) putting in a charging cable turns on the phone... and if i dont put the startmenu in dummy itl start the windows automaticly.... but hey its still freeking awesome i now have a windows phone with real windows...making a cast with a bluetooth keyboard/mousepad thing in it this weeken so it looks like tiny laptop tooo hehe...(i willleave a comment as soon as i tested drawing on it with pentablet how it goes) love your videos
@sadev101 Hey, thanks for that comment. Really made my day :) Cool that it worked. And yes, the charging solution is a bit annoying, but as you said, real windows on a phone is awsome.
The 2 pin in the back is not wireless charger but I don't really what the usage of the pins
Arevyou sure? Because there is some coil looking thing on the backcover that connects to those pins. But I haven't tested if wireless charging stops working if I would block the pins
@@TechKingdom35 my old galaxy note 3 also had that pin but it doesn't support wireless charging
Interesting, I am going to pick up a 950XL purely for the camera because it had a 2 stage shutter button and was a great camera, I tried to keep going with the 950XL for a long time but eventually I had to switch to a NOKIA 8.3 running android using a windows launcher (Launcher 10 which is very good) but for the camera alone, I will buy a 950XL
you should activate tablet mode in registry so its more like a phone
@theloafer7769 True, I should have done that :)
but it seems like its made for it specifically the UI resolution
I kinda miss those phones bro...
Yes, it's very sad that Nokia isn't producing phones anymore
does the front and rear camera both works on this distro? anyway looks cool. the lightweight version of win11 looks promising..however, if i flash this on my lumia 950 XL will i able to revert back to normal or is it irreversible? thanks anyway for the tutorial.
Sadly both did not work for me.
I just read the second part of your question. Yes you can go back. There are tutorials on how to reinstall windows mobile.
Who wouldn’t buy one of these unique phones today. Love it
Sadly, without modern app support, they are not really usable as a smartphone in 2023.
This is awesome ❤️🔥🔥
what is the name of the small computer in your video?
Thats a GPD Pocket 2. Very cool device :)
seems fun I'd use it not as as a daily driver but still, maybe could find some use as a platform for a mobile mini server or something.
Yes I think it is cool that this is possible but not as a daily of course :)
With Defender and Search Indexing disabled it's pretty usable as a daily driver. Even battery usage on Tiny 11 is acceptable.
@@CrossUnitydo you have any weird issues with it?
@@agoddamnferret A few. Celular is a bit buggy with dual-sim devices. My 950 XL is dual sim and sometimes the SIM random stop working and I need to restart. But it works well. Also you will never be able to use 2 SIMs at the same time, it only detects one.
There is also a bug in Tiny11 where the Glance Screen settings in Lumia Settings app can't be opened. This makes me unable to disable Glance Screen. But it doesn't matter at all.
Also sometimes when I plug it into charger and after I unplug the screen just doesn't turn on. Ctrl+alt+del (power+vol down) works sometimes but when it doesn't I need to force reboot it.
Overall it works.
@@CrossUnity Microsoft is missing out on a great opportunity to reenter the mobile market
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
Thank you :)
I've seen another video where a guy installed a Windows 11 (full version) on a OnePlus. I think it was a OnePlus 8. He also played some Crysis 3 on it. It wasn't super smooth but it was playable.
Thanks for sharing.
Easy to open back phones are so cool
Finally this guy dont lie with us saying we now install windows 11 app made by unity and having ads😭😭😭😭😭
The windows phone we needed but never happened
True. Windows Phones hat such a huge potential. Sad to see how Microsoft abandoned the project
Awesome. This works on android phones too
On some, yes. Have a look at renegade-project.tech

Great video, any idea if this may work on an hp x3? I'm thinking about giving it a try since i still have it and hate not being able to use anymore.
Sadly I am not sure the are some people that claim it works but I could not find a good tutorial on it
do it
Aaaahhh. The HD2 what nostalgia. I had one from new and was so angry with Microsoft when they did nothing with their mobile OS. But it continued to be my main phone for many many years running all manner of different OS. I wonder where I put it?🤔
The HD2 is a super cool phone. Hope you can find it. There are still cool things to do with it.
12:18 my first pet
That also me🙂
Great project bro. You are a genius. Is there any qwerty phones, like Blackberry Passport, we can try tiny11?
yes ßóñy
But why no software tests, I was hoping to see how it can run x86-64 apps given that Windows on ARM already can. Or this version can't yet?
I didn't want the video to become an hour long. I did test x86 Software on the Lumia in the next video. I also tested x86 Software on a Pocophone in a more recent video.
Good information
Thank you :)
Hey i also have a HTC HD2, what custom roms would you recommend as i cant seem to find any good modern ones out there.
Windows Phone was so good. If only Google hadn't sabotaged the thing, it would be such a great alternative to the iPhone. Imagine, every single Windows PC having seamless connection with your phone, and all you need is a specific phone with also a banger of a camera for a fraction of the flagship prices.
True it was a very good operating system. And it is very sad to see its downfall. The seemless switching between phone and PC would have been a killer feature and I'm sure the technology is there now but Microsoft probably won't do anything with it
I miss using my windows phone. It had the best keyboard. Android keyboards are ok and ios spelling correction is dumb beyond belief.
I was pretty sad when I realised I installed a broken version of windows 10 mobile on my lumia 1320 and I had no way of reverting it back to something that worked.
It’s neat seeing people still working on their lumias. Wish I could do something with mine.
great stuff. I love(d) my Lumia ... what a Camera! Would really like is to be able to use it as a phone within in tiny Win11 ... I guess, it would just have to be a whats app fone... as MS dropped Microsoft phone updates at least 4 years ago.....
Yeah, what a phone. It can do calls and sms wfrom tiny11. But there is no WhatsApp app for this version of windows. Sadly microsoft is known for dropping support of relatively new devices. The most recent example being the Surface Duo
Yeah MS Store whatsapp scales perfectly on it and works well despite being x64 emulated. Even calls work.
Normal phone:🚫
Microsoft phone:✅
For some reason during the deployment phase the phone will not register as being in mass storage mode any thoughts or suggestions?
Is it being detected by the computer? So can you see it in windows explorer?
It was ahead of its time
Keep doing great..... ❤ sending Love from India.....
Thank you very much :)
