If there is ever any plan for that , you will see the new in those weblogs.
If we want Windows Mobile back, we need to take a first step and make custom versions of that Windows and redistribute it for free to everyone worldwide so Microsoft will find out how much we love and miss Windows Mobile devices and how far we are ready to take a first steps that will leads us to the better future and success in our goals
If we cannot make Microsoft to show them that having an Windows Mobile today is a great decision that Microsoft could make, we will never see Microsoft phones with Windows Mobile editions to come back anytime soon since Microsoft already done with that.
There is also official news regarding their final decision so your answer regarding this didn't helped at all - it just reminds us how Microsoft failed to do it and doesn't want to try to fix their mistake.
It's time for passion developers and software enginners to reverse-enginner latest Windows OS and make an custom version of it for mobile devices (custom edition) from scratch in that closed source code.
But again as I said, who in the whole world will do this just to try Microsoft to make them re-think about their final decision for their mobile platform
- There are videos on the internet showing they manage to install Windows 11 on Lumia phones. I couldn't verify or deny the credibility of videos but with some skills and time it seems to be possible. You will lose several functionality since there is no app to send SMS or make phone call and they are limitation with drivers and this is not official.
Reza_Ameri Well because they are trying to run Desktop edition of Windows (unmodified, non-patched, desktop UI is not replaced and etc...) - basically no one created for real custom mobile edition of Windows taking an Desktop Edition as base and then modding it at the core to looks like and feels like an phone - more as a phone than desktop (removing some desktop features and adding mobile features instead).
That cannot be easy done - you can trick drivers somehow and bootloader and be able to boot into desktop edition (with correct architecture) and that is also not easy at all - it requires good skilled work of course, but you cannot do all of other things to mod the Windows at that level without having access to their source code to each part of their operating system or at least the critical ones so that someone could easly replace some elements, make another UI from scratch, add mobile features and etc...
And even if someone wants to access their source code to do this, they need to keep this in mind and that is - Windows is closed source, not open source - so if they wants to access, they need to put so much effort in reverse-engineering the Windows itself to be able to do it.
- What I motioned is they are ways to do it but they not work as expected and this is not officially supported. For time being Microsoft is no longer support operating system on Mobile devices and instead focus to provide services on already existing Mobile Operating Systems like Android and iOS. For example, you already should see several Microsoft apps in Google Play and App Store .
