I LOVED Windows Phone, and was DEVASTATED when it got discontinued. As a result, for the past 5 years, I've slowly trudged along, trying to reach a position where I can make my Android phone look and (kinda) function like my old Lumia 525.
After years of research, Square Home Launcher. The dev is awesome, and the one-time fee isn't that bad.
Here's how my screen looks:

Yeah, high-five for SquareHome launcher. I never used a Windows Phone, but SHL caught my eye and it's amazing. Props for the cat photo on the home screen.
Ah man you're lucky you didn't use a Windows Phone. You'd be crying yourself to sleep knowing Mobile OSes reached perfection and then it was cancelled ๐ญ.
SHL is extremely powerful and very intuitive. Especially as a WP user.
Also, I waited till the live tile updated to Simba's photo. No meow, No post ๐ค๐ผ๐๐ผ.
I still have a Lumia 1520 and 1020 because I can't get rid of them. For whatever reason, I never got on board with SHL though. I think I found it too long after I had accepted that Windows Phone was gone...
Ah man.
You could maybe sell them online?
Also,
saddest sentence ever ๐ญ
Sorry my wording was ambiguous. I meant I don't want to get rid of them. I still have an old Palm Pre and Pixi around somewhere too. And an HP Touchpad and Zune...
I'm not nostalgic for much, but I love my old underdog tech. Lol
Nice.
Bruh listen, I've never felt physical pain when nostalgic about anything apart from the ending of Windows Phone. I get your sentiment ๐.
