Yesterday Gustave announced something very special. Today, on that special day, the unveiling followed. With several people, they presented Android S (Android 12) on a Lumia 950 XL and provided the * .ffu. And I don't want to withhold that from you. [Read the update below]
As Gustave writes, everything is not yet fully developed. Touch works, as well as BlueTooth. But no GPU / hardware acceleration yet, so it's a bit of a hassle. “Don't expect everything to work right away”.
Also the * .ffu package this he has provided. The image itself can hang on the efi stub for about 12 minutes, but that's quite normal, as he writes. Gustave has more about that, or he will certainly post on Twitter.
[Update 02-04-2021]: To clear up the snippet of text ... on this special day ... On April 1, 2018, Imbushuo posted a picture on Twitter that showed a Lumia with the Android logo while booting. In addition the text "April Fool Deluxe (TM)". That was the beginning of the tinkering to bring Android to a Lumia phone.
That's why Gustave decided to put the release on April 1st (2021) with the text "April Fools Deluxe Take 2". So this is not, as many have suspected, an April Fool's joke. I just wanted to wait a little longer with the clarification until you voted on our April Fool's joke.

All of this was made possible by a lot of people but most importantly @konradybcio and the SoMainline team. Big shout out to them!
It's still rough currently, and we would need help with mainlining efforts for 8994 on the linux kernel repo (some of which already is out today)
