Good timing on this video. I've been thinking of buying a 950XL just for the nostalgia, but now I might actually have a fun project to get into! Thanks Michael :-)
From this video to now (one month later) there were some great optimization boosts. Both models can now be used with the dock and external monitor screen, on the 950 i´ve seen all six cpu been used, and on both the new Edge browser is now running fine. I´ve been using the 950 XL as a daily PC with my dock for some days now, keyboard and mouse (and a external dvd burner!), and if the developers will get some more issues solved, i would be just super happy. If you are able to reflash it as described, it is better than lying unused on the shelf. Btw: i've watched this video with the dock and monitor without issues.
Thanks for the comment. It is so cool that the community is actively resolving the existing issues and the optimizations are fantastic. I will do a video about the dock as well and hope that I can showcase the normal Windows phone Mode and the Windows on Arm Mode.
@@TheIdeaofTechnology Lets wait what they can do. If you go to screen settings, and set how big windows shows everything to 273, and text to 150, in tablet mode you think you' re running Win10m :-).
Hi, I own 2 950s, one with W10M and one with only W10 on ARM(this one is heavly modded with heatsinks :D), but I am planing to buy an used 950 XL. I would like to ask you a few question:, - which build are you deployed? If it is older, can we install the chromium edge? Is your SD Card reader working? I plugged a Micro SD Card into my 950, but it dis not recognise it. Thanks for your answer!
@@Sztyepadzso Hello, i´ve tried several builds, since my answer hasn´t been changed anything, until today the last build is deployed. On my 950 there is the problem with low frequency of the cpu, caused by broken driver (?), updates do not work (= under 1 GHz), but maybe on the 950 XL it could work well. The team writes that updates are not recommended. I did not try the chromium edge on the earlier build, because in Nov. 2020 the re were an issue with the graphics driver, maybe the newer driver will work on older builds of Win 19, too. Just try it :-) . My SD card reader is working well on both phones, 950 and 950 XL. Not every card will work in every phone. Regards
@@CMarkulis Hi, Thank for the response. I got myself a 950XL(with original USB cable) (30€)two days ago, and today a Display Dock(with original cable and charger)( 24€). I have already modded the 950XL with heatsink, and I deployed the very last build. It is working well, but I have experienced a few anomalies, but I think it is related to the overheating-I will build a case with fan. Comparing to the 950(non-XL), it is way faster overall and in boot time. But I can not shut it down, somehow it does not finish the shutting down process.. I kept the worki g SD Card in the phone , while I deployed the OS, and now it is working perfectly fine, although the built - in disk(ssd? Memory? Idk how to call it)is literally in pieces, I have like 25 drives on it, 3 main drives and the rest are like 2-8MB. But it is working fine.
Unbelievable development. Was not happy having to move from a 950 to iPhone in 2018. iPhone died filming underwater last week, so switched back to the 950 and realised how much I prefer the UI. Perhaps if all cores now function with full W10 + phone shell I can run my banking and messenger apps that are no longer available for WP!
yeah I wondered that too, If you have an arm processor I think it should work. Though you need an arm64 processor, and things like wifi, bluetooth and the speakers probably won't work
Is there a way to get the Lumia 950 XL screen on an external display e.g. monitor? Via USB-C to HDMI cable or Microsoft Dock? My build version is 18362.19h1
I have put all the relevant links in the video description. You need to have a couple of hours time and at least basic understanding of how flashing and custom roms work but with the provided ressources it is pretty straight forward. Hope you can get it up and running and have fun with your Win 10 ARM Lumia 950XL.
Awesome!! But for now I'll stick to windows phone launcher sadly, as I need a daily driver for work. I always love windows phone but I see whatsapp is dead
Huh, that is a tricky question. The USB drivers are there and you can get driver update and support via Windows Update but I doubt it that the phone will have enough resources running and supporting the Wacom pen tablet. But at the end you will need to try it for yourself.
I've managed to install windowsArm on a raspberry pi, but booting a large os from an sd card is atrocious, and you won't be able to boot from an external ssd here... interesting none the less
Can i install spotify or other windows apps? Does bluetooth work? Also i have this display dock and it’s not working with the phone. I want to use it with spotify free without ads. Because on normal win 10 with pc you can listen without ads.
I truly wonder... Can the Lumia 950 phone download Microsoft games and Windows apps through the Microsoft Store? And then be stored onto a micro SD card? Could I install Steam and download a game as well with all it's updates? I would like to play Halo Infinite's campaign without playing online multiplayer do to my internet's data plan. It's just downloading the game of around 47gbs that will make a huge bump into my data plan that I already use for basic tasks. Games today are just WAY to big for my data plan. I'm wondering cause already go to my local retail stores where I attach to there Wifi networks and download large HD videos from RUclips, huge files, Windows 10 software, PC applications, etc. on my Android device with my VPN. It's just that carrying a laptop into a location is just too bulky, but an Android device is palm sized and felt safe to carry around with a lanyard I put on it. And I would just like to know if people already have used Microsoft Store and/or downloaded Steam and managed to download a large game file with all it's updates on a micro SD card. That way the micro SD card can be ejected and then used to transfer the large game file onto a hard drive. Then I can use it on my PC when I reinitialize the game file. Is this possible? Cause I'm not aiming for speed. I have plenty of time actually based on location and stuff. I'm just wondering if it's possible cause then this Lumia 950 would be a huge investment for my lifestyle.
@@TheIdeaofTechnology Thanks for quick reply. Well, with this charging, or rather the lack of Qi charge will be a problem, especially in windows mode. Otherwise, it would be a perfect stand.
@@farishanafiah8461 but the Samsung company had developed a complete windows 10 chrome book based on the same snapdragon 855 chipset. then why it is possible to mobiles?
@@kumargedela7588 Chrome OS and Android are two different things. Chrome OS is meant for desktop use, so it has completely different app development compared to Android that is completely focusing on mobile. Chrome OS is like a tablet where it needs to work on big screen and not all Android APK apps support it.
with some of today's flagships having as much RAM as a PC this really could be used as a basic PC for school or work purposes. The GPUs are still too weak to use them as gaming PCs though.
The Lumia 950 models were never made for Windows 10 on ARM. So this whole project bringing windows 10 to these old smartphones is kinda crazy and there was a lot of tweaking of firmware and drivers involved.
@@TheIdeaofTechnology You can install WoA on Android phones, since there is an ARM Windows version. But you need professional skills to get that perfectly working without problems and this takes years to do so.
they are working on Windows 10X what is gonna be for touch screen devices like tablets, if they gonna make it to smartphones i'm definitely gonna switch from Android to this Windows 10X, it will be small pocket PC what is amazing but it depends on Microsoft if they gonna try again with smartphones after Windows Phone fail
@@Rex87 also the lumia 950xl is very old hardware with low specs, that's y it's a bit sluggish. I can guarantee it will work awesome with the latest Snapdragon 888
@@samuelmarndi with this new processor this could be a beast of a phone, because now this old Lumia is having high CPU usage and that's also lowers battery life, also RAM is pretty bad, 3GB of ram means only 1GB for personal use because Windows 10 already uses 2GB, on this phone probably better idea is to install Windows 7 because uses only up to 500MB RAM when not doing anything
Now i can run Karlson on a phone! Oh you dont know what Karlson is? Karlson is just a game a RUclipsr called Dani is working on. Oh and yeah wishlist Karlson on Steam so we get to #1 spot gamers!

So this is what i thought what windows phone would be. When newly launched
exactly me toooo 😃
Same here, an OS that could run PC programs and mobile apps side by side
Yeah me too, I thought a Windows Phone 8 phone would be a full Windows 8 PC
