Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Microsoft for the clue delivery of fear and Gao Ganyo! CTOnews.com, August 24, the LumiaWOA project for Lumia 950s / XL phones is about to be updated. According to the announcement, developers will release the final version this week, bringing better status than the last update, and continue the driver repo until then. But after that, this may be the final version and the driver will no longer be updated.

Gustave Monce, the lead developer of LumiaWOA, says he is looking for someone who is willing to help with the LumiaWOA project. Until now, the project is still plagued by many problems, including CPU performance, heat dissipation and stability. Many of the problems can be attributed to drivers, qcpep.sys, and so on (not sure). Gustave Monce and others began to build the project in 2017, with a lot of breakthroughs, but unable to solve some core problems. Due to the lack of understanding of existing drivers, it is necessary to experiment with new content or create new drivers, such as reverse engineering from scratch.

Gustave Monce said that in view of the current situation, given the number of reported error Bug and the current lack of personnel to solve these problems, the project will be archived within a few weeks, will be at a standstill, and the project will be stopped and existing problems will no longer be addressed.

Gustave Monce said that I personally hope that the LumiaWOA project will continue to develop and maintain, but I am afraid that I can no longer continue, although it is only natural to try a complete Windows ARM64 system on my phone. If someone can help, try or make a breakthrough, you can join the relevant discussion group, fork the work done by LumiaWOA, conduct your own experiments, and show everyone the progress made.

According to Gustave Monce, there has been no progress for a long time, and the original team has become very busy. However, everything in the LumiaWOA project community will remain, except to notify the project that updates have been stopped.

What is the WOA project?

Microsoft officially stopped supporting Windows 10 Mobile a long time ago, but with the efforts of WOA project developers, there will still be developers to refresh the old Lumia and new Android models.

Because Microsoft offers Windows 10 version compatible with ARM devices, a group of independent developers have been maintaining an unofficial Windows on ARM project for the past few years, which is WOA. After Microsoft released the 11 ARM version of Windows, there are new systems to try.

CTOnews.com learned that since 2019, the Lumia Windows 10 ARM (WOA) project assembled by third-party developers has been launched in GitHub and includes all LumiaWOA-related projects. At present, the WOA project is divided into LumiaWOA and DuoWOA, and these developers should continue to study the project of Surface Duo Android dual-screen phones brushing into Windows 11 ARM system after the LumiaWOA stagnation.
