First Ever Microsoft Phone for Nexus 5 [Every Month Update]

This is my new project dedicated to all Nexus 5 users!

Switch your Google Phone to Microsoft Phone now!

We all know that the mobile operating systems from the Microsoft are not perfect.

If you are not satisfied with Windows Mobile try my unofficial Android based Microsoft Phone – it is available only for Nexus 5!
​

What does UBR stand for?

The letters UBR stand for Update By Recovery - a very non conventional way of flashing.

This backup does not contain the EFS partition which holds your personal IMEI number,

that's why you can use it on any Nexus 5 phone!​

Why you should install this ROM?

+ Really easy flash by swiping only one button in TWRP!

+ Quick Installation (it usually takes 3 minutes)

+ It works instantly after reboot

+ If the phone is not damaged it will always work

+ This Custom OS uses only applications from Microsoft!

+ It has extra functions that can be uninstalled (Magisk etc)

– It has a 4 times larger installation file than standard flashable ROM

* If you need you can install Google Services/Apps​

Why is it so BIG?

This UBR contains: Android 8.1 ROM + Microsoft Apps + Other Modules/Mods

After installation you can remove all unwanted apps including Magisk (Unroot).​

What works:

Almost everything.

What doesn't work:

Trusted face (from Smart Lock)

Fast (Quick) Charging

WakeBlock (wait for the update)

Things to improve:

Maybe custom NavBar with Microsoft icon?
