[UPDATED] How to install Steam Mobile Android App on Windows Phone!

[Dj-Star]

Use this (Unoffcial) Steam Authenticator. It has Steam Chat too.
https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/store/apps/unofficial-steam-authenticator/9nblggh58psp

Why you should use this?
Project Astoria has been killed by Microsoft. Only real devs can only port iOS apps to Windows Phone. That means we self cant port the Andriod Steam Mobile app to Windows Phone. If you doesnt trust this app, then its your fault and you can wait 15 days at trading.

I use this authenticator with my account over 250 games and still everything is fine ;)

[OLD STUFF]
(If you got still the very old Windows Mobile 10 build, stay there and use happy Astoria Emulator and read my Tutorial ;) )

Valve doesnt want give us a offical Steam mobile app for us, the Windows Phone users.
Now Microsoft supports APK (the filesystem from Android) and you can download the most APK's on Windows Phone and Steam works on my Lumia 930 perfect!

You still need Windows 10 Mobile? Go to the marketplace and search "Windows Insider". Install it and follow the steps.

Dont forget to select the SLOW RING (older build), because in the FAST RING, project Astoria (the andriod app loader) has been removed, but will come back soon

Go check this site out, there are the files to Download.

(UPDATE FOR WIN10 MOBILE BUILD 10536)
if you are using the build 10536 or newer then download the updated wconnect files, or you cant install the apps on your Windows Phone!!

Step-2: Download Android SDK adb tool
https://mega.co.nz/#F!8kxXURRQ!o2HlbJFPLfD-Zfyp_3kJ2A

Step-3: Unzip the downloaded files to a folder

Step-4: Open wconnect folder, install IpOverUsbInstaller.msi and vcredist_x86.exe

Step-5: Navigate to Settings on your Windows 10 Mobile, then Update & security>> For Developers and enable Developers Mode and Device Discovery

Step-6: Go to folder where you have extracted wconnect, open a command prompt (Shift + right-click>> Open command window here)

Step-7: Connect your phone to the PC. There are two ways you can do this, USB method is recommended
•To connect via USB, type wconnect.exe usb and press enter
•To connect over Wi-Fi, type wconnect.exe 192.168.xxx.xxx (replace the xxx with your network's IP)

Step-8: It will now ask for pairing code, type in the pairing code and press Enter

Step-9: Head over to the extracted adb folder and open a command prompt

Step-10: Ensure that your phone is connected, type adb devices and press Enter to show the list of devices that areconnected

Step-11: Place the APK file you want to install on the directory (adb folder) and type in adb install APKNAME.apk (replace the APKNAME with APK file's name)

You should now be able to install Android apps on your Windows 10 Mobile device.

That devices can use "Project Astroria":
•Lumia 920
•Lumia 925
•Lumia 929 (Lumia Icon)
•Lumia 830
•Lumia 930
•Lumia 1520
•Lumia 635 (1gb version)
•Lumia 730

Well but see, 520 is old now. Its a nice phone, but the Hardware is not good and at 3D games not fast. You should upgrade to 535 or 640 if u want a good cheap Lumia with some good power.

ok, but frankly I only chat and see friends online and discounts on games they could not turn a blind eye at least not constringeva to change the cell continuously mica are a millionaire!

Does someone got a bug that you cant login and all your friends are offline? Restart the phone help but that sucks sometimes

Nice guide , Thanks for the effort.

Is this work on tablet??

[Dj-Star]

No, its only for the smartphones with Windows. Maybe in the future it could come. Windows 10 want to offer the apps for PC and Mobile (Universial apps?)

[Dj-Star]

Small info: some phones got with the new builds no project astroria anymore. If you want stay at your Steam App, dont upgrade now. The builds fix only small bugs but still nothing big!!

Nice thx for tutorial

No problem ^^
We can hope we can get a official Windows Phone 8.1/Windows 10 Mobile app. This way is bit to hard but better than nothing atm...

If Valve happens to read this: If you don't want to send the App through Microsoft Continuum (so the iOS or Andriod app can be ported to usablity in WP -OR- not change about <10 lines of code to get the app to work on WP. I'll do it and dedicate my soul to it's development. I love WP and I hate when BIG DEVELOPERS fail to see how easy it is to develop for WP (especially if you already have a iOS and Andriod app out there).
