The Nokia Lumia 525 is a humble 4-inch smartphone with unimpressive specs that launched back in 2014, and nobody would have guessed that two years later, despite not even being officially updated to Windows 10 Mobile, it would be able run Android 6.0 Marshmallow.Yup, that's right, a clever "hacker" has managed to run a build of CyanogenMod 13 on the aging Lumia 525, and it looks surprisingly smooth judging by the proof-of-concept video.This is not the first time we are seeing a project to port Android to a Lumia device, but this is the first one that may come to fruition.The developer of the project, Triszka Balázs, has said that if everything goes well, the source code may be publicly released next weekend.

Who said it's impossible to install Android Marshmallow on a smartphone running on Windows 8.1?A hacker has demonstrated that the Lumia 525, a phone that Microsoft has released in January 2014, can boot Marshmallow, but Triszka Balázs has specified only that he has a "reset vector exploit only for S4 SOC series", without mentioning what exploit he used.More than a week ago, Microsoft has leaked "Golden Keys" to Windows devices, so every user with administrator rights who possessed them could load Android OS, or even Linux, onto a restricted Windows device, including a Windows Phone, Windows RT tablet, or, why not, the HoloLens headset.
