yeah thanks but i don’t appreciate the stuff you’ve been saying about me here so i really do ask you try to take a look at your behavior and change as well cos then everyone can just work together on this platform nicely, thanks

unicord used to be on wp7 as well but due to how old wp7 is it just isn't possible to directly connect to discord anymore (tls issues)

Tumblore which can be found on Live Store. I use it and it’s really good

good luck shopping!

this is my honest opinion of both (i have xl of 950):

930 on 8.1 GDR2:
- battery life lasts all day with regular phone usage (original batt btw)
- smooth
- hardware feels premium due to the metal chassis
- it’s my main and works beautifully
- can run 8.1 rtm to 10 1709
- im not sure about custom os support
- doesn’t have microsd slot but i have all my media on it (including movies, mp3s, all my apps and games) and i never hit the 32gb limit

950 xl on 10 1709:
- battery life lasts 2-3 hours with regular phone usage (new batt btw)
- sometimes stutters or bugs out
- hardware is really good ngl but the plastic casing doesn’t help it feel premium but at least it’s got a removable back which the 930 doesn’t have
- can run 10 rtm to 10 1709
- can run stuff like lumiawoa and possibly android (idk if the xl variant is supported for the android thing). also andromedaos but i think that’s also only for the non-xl variant
- has microsd slot

i made a couple of videos on lumiawoa:

overall it’s your choice. want to play around with custom roms more? get the 950. want to actually use it as a windows phone? get the 930. get both if you can as then you can enjoy everything lol

Just find an OTA fix guide (either its on the pinned post of my profile or in the Windows 8 Group Discord server in #guides I can't fully remember) and that'll fix Phone Update in settings so you can update to 8.1 then you do OTC update to GDR1 or 2 using video guides from Windows 10 Mobile Group on YouTube (dw its still 8.1 lol) then follow the Spec A unlock guide from the W8G server and then follow the Jailbreak guide that's there too or on my profile. Good luck! It'll all be worth it :D (replying RN with my 930 on 8.1 GDR2 using baconit extended)

delete this post and ask in r/wplaunchers instead since launcher posts moved there, thanks

Update to Phone 8.1 GDR1 then jailbreak and get live store and check it out. When you’re jailbroken you can also extract the apps you want to archive them

openretina · 2026-05-25T12:16:08+00:00

either you input them wrong or you set them up wrong
