IPS display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of
storage. It was released in early 2014 and shipped with Windows Phone 8.
While Microsoft rolled out a software update that allowed the Lumia
525 to run Windows 8.1, it’s one of a number of phones that never
received an update to Windows 10 Mobile. But that doesn’t mean it can’t run recent software: xda-developers forum member banmeifyouwant has posted a few videos showing one of Nokia’s last Windows phones running Android 6.0.1.
The Windows phone software and UEFI firmware has been removed and
replaced with the LK bootloader, TWRP custom recovery, and a port of
CyanogenMod 13, which is a custom version of Android 6.0.
As of August 19th, sound, the modem, and WiFi weren’t fully working,
and there are some other issues. But Android boots, the display works,
and the touchscreen is functional. Banmeifyouwant says the software can be adjusted to work on the Nokia
Lumia 520 as well, which is basically the same phone, but with 512MB of
RAM instead of 1GB. And it may theoretically be possible to load
Android on other Nokia and Microsoft Lumia devices… but the software
he’s using will only work on the Lumia 520 and 525 for now.
