Hello everyone! It has been a while since I made an update to | LumiaWOA Announcements

Hello everyone!

It has been a while since I made an update to this project. Part of the reason for this is our sister project, but also me being a bit more busy these days. However LumiaWOA is not dead. And today is no exception.

We know that the phone performance is not great, thermals are a problem, and battery life is an issue.

These issues didn't originally exist but rather came over time as more hardware started to work.

I do want to improve the situation but no magical instant fix exists as of today. (would be too easy heh)

There's also the fact that the 950s are 7 years old now, and the SoC did not age well.

That's why starting today, a new series of "alternative" updates will come out for the 950 series.

These updates will lack functionality compared to previous ones (ie, no cellular, no wifi, etc), but will always try to be in the most "stable state".

You will get the option to pick between a "stable" variant of the drivers, or a "complete, but unstable/heavy" version of the drivers as we figure out what the issues are.

The stable variant will not have everything that works as of today, and the unstable variants will.

I understand there's still lots of interest, and some of the issues are making the experience not enjoyable, but I also do not want to cut features you previously had which is why opting for two variants seems like the most sensible option so far.

For those that want a very stable phone and don't mind some functionality cut, these versions will be for you. The existing releases with all functionalities that work will be rebranded as experimental and may have bad thermal issues, performance issues, or other annoying issues.

If you would like to help with the task of identifying what is stable or not, or where the issues are located at precisely, I would welcome your help in the main discussion group (https://t.me/joinchat/RSnfDLHK4K7A05iw).

For the time being, see you again when one of such updates comes out!
