[IDEA][Installer] Astoria installer for W10M Unsupported devices

[sandix]

Thinking of a new method of installing AoW, and I think I have found a way to install AoW without the Dev update on the latest release of W10M.

How many of you would want something like this done? It would require full interop/cap unlock with 1st/2nd/3rd party permissions unlocked as well using the Root Tool.

I am starting research on this now to see if it is worth while.


Let me know peeps!

If this would manage to skip the device hardware check and allow us to run project astoria on 512MB RAM devices then I am really interested and ready to test.

Thanks, I am still doing a lot of research to see if this is even possible, but I have the AoW files for P.A. I just need to figure out the registry entries, and where each file goes.

Might be awhile, but I will let you know when I have an alpha installer.

I already tried adding the files and registry entries myself, some of the registry entries can't be written, at least not by any registry editor released until now, also did the downgrade and update with an other device's entries trick to try to enable it so I now seem to have all the aow files in their place and the entries are also there (at least the entries I know about) yet it doesn't work so at least for users of devices with 512MB RAM this might not be possible (I think that somehow the android build/hyper-v implementation/something else check the hardware and don't allow it to boot on 512MB RAM).
I am still willing to test but I think that even if you manage to find and write all the registry entries you might need an other tester with a (hardware wise) better device to actually find out if it's working or not.

Well I have a Lumia 640 which is not supported yet, but will be in the future. 1GB RAM Quad-Core

UPDATE: I think I am getting close to a solution. if someone who has astoria on their device already could you rip all the files from "C:\Windows\System32\aow" from your phone, zip them up and send them to me in a private message? It would be of GREAT help to make sure I have the latest files.

Thank you.

Old post, but I'm interested.
I have the files, go pm.

I would venture to say anyone with a high spec windows 10 mobile device is extremely interested in this. I think heathcliff is researching this. if astoria could be ported to the latest build of windows 10 mobile..

I made some tests but I was stuck on adding new values in registry.. But I had all the values to put and all the files and other modifications

Realistically this would only work on Nokia, which requires a special DLL to be used in the project to set/create registry items.

You need a lot more than that, me and other people are working on this. I already pushed all the astoria files and dlls, and restored the service key and values to trigger the dlls. It needs more than that to work in newer builds, when i mean newer builds i refer to 10586.x or higher .

Hey thanks for the reply, I already know this, but thanks for the information! However, I have long since abandoned this project (see date of my OP and the post you quoted). Cheers!:good:

Well... I have a Lumia 925 running latest Windows 10 Mobile build ever (Redstone 4) Build 15254
But be careful!
You may brick a lot of devices...

If you really want to work on this, i can give you all the files i've got on my research aswell as the registry keys that you can import with interop tools. Since i had to format my pc and such, didn't install anything related to windows phone, so i left the project in the trunk but, as i said, if you really want to work on this i can provide you with the files and keys.

 

[gmirz2005]

Yep!

Well... I will take it!
Just upload it to a download server for example MEGA.CO.NZ
And and the download link to me via private messages.
If everything would succeed and I will finally make it to the finish, I will make a program that will install Astoria onto your phone via just pressing a button!
You can also check out my other software that I made and published to xda developers, I will be very happy if one of them will help you fixing problems with your phone (if you have problems of course) or installing Windows 10 Mobile onto your phone with just 3 clicks!
Good luck!

I hope you manage to get this working!

Ever since its announcement I was hoping to see the day it gets out!

How's the progress? Nearly done?
