[Sorry, but this method does not work anymore ]
Hello,
if you really want to install Android apps on your phone, but your phone is not supported, this is the right place (only lumias)
1. First, go to Settings/Update & security/For developers and turn on Developer mode
2. Now, download and deploy via Windows Phone Power Tools (link, if you still do not have this tool) this useful tool.
3. Run Root tool, click "Yes", "Lumia Registry Editor"
4. Check "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "String", in "Path" write
Code:
SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
and change this keys:
Code:
PhoneFriendlyName = Lumia 730
PhoneHardwareVariant = RM-1040
PhoneManufacturerModelName = RM-1040_1081
PhoneModelName = Lumia 730
(if you want, you can save original keys to notebook or .txt file)
5. Now, restart your phone and check updates. You should have avaible update "Developer Enchancements"
6. Wait for download complete, and install it (5-10 min.)
7. Done! You can sideloading (via adb) Android apps
You can back to original keys if you saved them in 4. step
Below are useful links to articles that I recommend you read after you install Project Astoria

Enjoy!

Why not? Do you see, when you change the keys, available updates?
I admit, I testing it on 240, but I think that it should also work on 512
Is a know bug. Is not working on 512 .
Let us hope that it'll work in the next build
Didn't work for me on 10166 build on my L1320.
Got no developer enhancement update on slow ring & only got 10512 build update on fast ring.
From what I read you can only get Project Astoria files on non-supported devices by updating to 10166 build from WP 8.1 with modded values. I might be wrong there.
Don't get too excited like I did although :crying:

No, it also worked without upgrading from 8.1 to 10166 with modded vales, It worked on clear 10166 and 10240 (clear = after hard reset) Lumia 735 and I change the keys as I wrote and everything worked very well; I think Microsoft probably removed "Developer Enchancements" from Windows Update. I very much regret that I did not put earlier this thread, and I should remove this thread from XDA forum (but I don't know how yet )
I apologize to everyone who changed the keys as I said, but it did not work as I said :crying:
Not.

There has been a thread about this for a while on the Windows Phone 8 general. http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...apk-installed-unsupported-devices-sd-t3175843
Basically, you need to go back to Windows Phone 8.1, and then modify the registry before updating to Windows 10 Mobile. This will put the AOW files on your phone properly.

Weird. Maybe it's a slow ring thing, then. I have a 525 myself, and the only way I could do it was by going back to 8.1. But I was on fast ring. Never thought of trying slow ring.

Have been tested multiple times, only in slow ring will you receive the update.
Is not working, tryed 3 times on luma 640 xl.
Tried this on the Lumia 640 (Not the XL) and still could not get it to work, after going back to 8.1, changing the Registry, then to 101066 build (I think) then to update, and it started downloading the 10512 build....
Going to just wait some more for PA to come to the 640...
I really want to install Android Apps in my Lumia 930. It's brand new and already came with last build of W10M. I tried to install Windows 8.1 using Lumia Phone Test Application, wich worked, but when I update to Windows 10 again I receive the last version without Astoria support. Anyone can help me?
I'm trying to install APK using that Easy Purple Drag an Drop APK Installer Tool, wich I can't remember the exactly name now but I'm sure you fellows know wich one is, and it's return this error: �There was a problem booting the Astoria platform on the Windows device. Error code = 14�.
Thanks for your time!
you cant use android apps on W10M.... project is dead... is worked terrible! FORGET IT!
just forget it!
not possible, wouldnt even be useful. if you want android apps buy a ****ing android device!
Hmm, it's a stupid idea,because M$ in TH2 destroyed Astoria Project from OS. For Astoria Project need install build 10240 on phone.

There's a thread on Windows Phone 8.1 forums about that build you want. Find it. Only for Lumias 930, 640 and his XL bro
dude seriously -> even if you get it running somehow with updating from cab files under 8.1 to 10240. IT SUCKS!!!! 99% of all android apps dont even work, the 1% which works works very bad and the os itself will run like **** cause its an early preview! just forget about it, its not worth wasting any time on it
meaning, mission completed.
Install Android Apps on Windows Phone
I hope you are searching it on the internet and landed here. And here it is: just forget it and move on... Forget all that crap you found in another sites. Tutorials, Testimonies, Youtube videos, etc... loose all your hope. Just use your limited apps and dream with a better future.
Quoting other users: even if you managed make it to work it will be ****ty. Nothing will work properly and you will realize: this is stupid.

Yes there are a couple of easy ways to get Android Apps on Windows Phone 8 / 8.1 devices running. Note: This is NOT possible on Windows 10 Mobile devices.
1. For the Lumia 640, 640 XL and Lumia 930 there is a 10240 ROM. You can very easily flash that ROM to your device. With that version you are able to install and use Android Apps on your Windows Phone.
2. If you have Windows Phone 8.1 installed on your device you can directly update to either 10166 or 10536. With either build you're able to install and use Android Apps. Note: this is available for the HTC M8, Lumia 930, 1520, 1020, 635.

I am always looking forward this. Hope Asroria will be back to Windows Mobile since MS has abandoned its own OS. My 1020 is now only my photography backup.

what do you use to update to that specific build? I have done a factory reset on 8.1. will WDRT allow me to install to a specific build? Where can I get these specific builds? Lastly, can I prevent it from further updates?
thanks!
Why?
I think this article covers all the bases.

Heya,
it's not as easy as it used to be. The problem is, Microsoft deactivated the Insider App. Without enrolling in the insider programm first, you can't upgrade to preview builds, because those are flight / development signed.
I can't find Android Auto on the playstore on my phone, and when I go to the playstore from my PC it tells me that "This app is incompatible with all of your devices."
Is it really incompatible, or maybe this is because Android Auto is not yet available in my country?

As far as I can tell the only requirements for the app itself is android lollipop and above so it probably is geo restricted
Since I don't have your device anymore I can't check
I have included the app in the attachment below though for you to install yourself
It is compatible, I am using it and installed it from play store. Maybe clear the Play store cache? AS pointed out you can also just install the apk (also from apkmirror)
Thanks. Are you using it with the G5 or the G5 Plus?
What is strange is that it is telling me that it is incompatible with my device, and not that it is not available in my country, as it happens with some other apps.
Is it is safe to install it with an .apk, and would I receive updates if I do it that way?

The apk I posted was downloaded by myself from the playstore so totally safe
You would only get updates if It is available in your playstore & even then you may have to uninstall & reinstall depending on app signatures if different in different locations

Thanks. If I can get confirmation that it should work with the moto g5 (not the plus) then I will try it out.
Any reason why Google would have country restrictions on Android Auto? The cars are the same, the apps (maps, music etc) work fine, so why place restrictions on Android Auto? Apple doesn't seem to have any such restriction with Car Play (in my country at least)

Why do you need confirmation to try it? Just try it - it will either install or say app not installed
Like I said the only min requirements is lollipop so no reason why the app won't install
Some apps maybe geo restricted for licensing purposes - if Googling why the app isn't available in your country doesn't come up with anything the only thing you can do is contact the app developer

Lol by all means scan it - decompile it & check it
If you know my reputation around here you know I provide support
I used to be a recognised contributor but left xda for a while
Also I provided the official twrp for this device
So looking through my past posts/threads you will see the kind of support I provide
Of course, I mean you work on twrp for g5 and yet someone still manages to be suspicious
I am not suspicious I just want to know if it actually works! If this is not a country thing, maybe they marked this phone as incompatible for a good reason. I don't yet have a car with Android Auto so I can't fully test it now. Maybe it would run on the phone itself, but then fail to connect to the car (I've seen reports of this happening for several phones including different versions of the Moto G). Or maybe there is some other kind of bug that only shows up once connected to a car...

The only person that can answer your question would be the app developer
Would be quicker & easier to test yourself as the chance of someone with a moto g5 & the car you might have with android auto support would be highly unlikely
In these situations it's always better to just try yourself or contact the app developer for support
I installed the apk that TheFixItMan has provided and it works fine, on both the phone and a car I tried it with for a few minutes. Thanks!
As it was said previously I can't update Android auto from the play store now, so I assume at some point it might stop working properly. Should I just get a new apk every time I need an update?

Thanks for sharing this. I currently use T-Mobile in the US. Have you tested the ROM with the T-Mobile carrier and do the added ADC files affect anything while using T-Mobile (VoLTE, HD Voice, etc)?
I have partially been following another forum that was working to boot loader unlock the Idol 4s for Windows 10 mobile. I don't think this ROM was a result of that, but do you know of any other news?

No, I have not tested it. I have IDOL4S Open from Microsoft.
You can mention that there is a provxml file to install Yandex.Search.appxbundle in the IDOL4S_6071W_F1052.16.09031.50700_Open_RTM_10.0.15 254.490_Custom ROM. It is not in the T-Mobile ROM though.
This is a useful scenario too for some of us who might want to Edit the registry on the IDOL 4s outside of the current changes in these ROMs. Mount the bin file save the edits and flash the changes. Do you know if making changes such as reg edits would require an altered or updated rawprogram0.xml? Thanks.

Sorry my fault. It has been a while since working with qc loaders and program xml files. For some reason I was thinking rawprogram0.xml contained the space used by the partitions not the whole partition size.

I am having an issue on the custom ROMs being able to sign in with my Microsoft account while setting up the phone. It either locks up/freezes the set up process, or fails. I think it fails while checking account info and it never pulls the backups to restore. Ultimately the account will be signed in but can only move forward after skipping the step entirely to be able to set up the rest of the phone.
Is this just me or have you noticed an issue?

It's not a bug, but a feature Only in custom ROM F1050.14.08011.53400_TMOUS_Retail. Associated with reset protection packets. They are in this firmware test. So it will be with the official ROM F1050.14.08011.53400_TMOUS_Retail, if you update it above 15063.2.

I need to be able to restore a backup on the IDOL 4s. If I can't then certain apps don't function at all.

So it will be with the official ROM F1050.14.08011.53400_TMOUS_Retail, if you update it above 15063.2.

On the versions above 15063.2 reset protection is activated automatically by logging into your account, with no choice of disabling it. And in this firmware of packets of protection against reset in MainOS is not present.

Got it understood.
I am curious why are you using this older TMO firmware?

I'm sorry I did not word that so you understood. I meant why is your custom ROM set as an older firmware? The fw revision of the T-Mobile firmware is older than the official production one on most phones. I am assuming you used this version to customize a ROM for some reason.

In the last official ROMs is there a BDS Menu and Mass Storage mode? The question is rhetorical

Well yes of course! One would have their work cut out for them if they did not have to manually build those items into a ROM on their own. Was hoping maybe you had plans to incorporate those items into an updated or different firmware if possible. One that would allow restoring of a backup, and had reset protections bugs fixed . No worries about that though, was only wishful thinking.

This is already included in the custom ROM IDOL4S_6071W_F1052.16.09031.50700_Open_RTM_10.0.15254.490.

Ok I will try it out again. I thought I tried to restore a backup on Both ROMs and failed to with the same bug.
For some reason on the Open market Custom ROM the ndtk packages are not active after flashed or not working. Maybe it is just me but I can't edit the registry, enable Interop services or full file system access from Interop Tools until I send the packages again even though they are there. Plus I have to make other changes to it as well for T-mobile nvi settings.

The Open market Custom ROM should not have this error with backup recovery.

Ah ok that explains it. I had no idea you corrected this...
New Issues on Idol 4S using custom ROM
Installed TMOUS version of this custom ROM (Thank you OP for your efforts!) on August 8 and was delighted to uninstall the remaining VR apps. As nate0 posted earlier, I couldn't sign in during the initial setup, and was not able to restore earlier backups as expected. Phone is TMOUS retail locked (so far - longtime TMO customer awaiting billing cycles on this phone for unlock code).
Since then M$ has updated the OS build to 10.0.15254.527. Things keep breaking faster than I can keep track of - and not sure which are a function of 1) the custom ROM, 2) the Idol 4S, or 3) Microsoft desire to chase us away. New issues include:
Amazon - crashes at launch
Microsoft Wallet (v. 2.3.17311.0) - allowed me to scan 1 loyalty card successfully, then refuses to recognize/scan codes,
"CameraAccessDenied" error message
Flashlight (v. 4.0.0.0 Sakariya) - no longer can turn led on/off (Flashlight XT still works fine)
People (v. 10.2.2001.1000) - live tile stopped working after about a week, can't get it to work at all anymore
Translator (v. 4.8.7.0) - live tile works for about 1 day, then remove, disable/enable to restore function for another day
Microsoft Store - (v. 11807.1001.13.0) - live tile works for about 1 day, then same as Translator
My Library this morning shows about 1/3 of my apps that were listed last week ???
