Store Error 0x80070216

I tried everything. Nothing worked. Eventually, i had to export all my Kodi libraries, uninstall Kodi, reinstall it from the store and then import my libraries. Painfull process. This only seems to be hap happening with Win32 centennial apps. MS please
fix!

 

How to get a new OS, Since Microsoft is no longer selling Lumia phones after the end of 2016

I was wondering if there is any way to port a new OS to an old Lumia 640 or 950. I ask this as Microsoft has announced it is no longer selling Lumia Device after 2016. I would like to have a supported device as I will not be able to get a new device if
my phone breaks. Since that is a realistic view, I would like to be able to run a version of Android so I can finally have some Apps.

I know it is a big surprise to everyone, but even Microsoft has thrown out the adverts for having its phone apps available on their own service. Take LinkedIn, it was purchased by Microsoft, yet it still has not put the app logo on the bottom of the app page,
even though there is an app for it. Most of the other Microsoft owned services are only showing Android and IOS logos to consumers as well. Now Microsoft may be banking on a big reveal, but I doubt it. Nothing or maybe far and few were fully ever ported successfully in
Project Astoria, Project Centennial, Project Islandwood, and Project
Westminster.

Now I might be wrong with nothing came out of it.
But all I remember are the broken promises! Astoria has failed and Microsoft pulled it, maybe it worked too well. Project Islandwood is still waiting to fail, as developers don't even want to try to use it, as they don't want to have that work and then
have Microsoft pull that one too. Project Westiminster is one that no one wants, as "EVERYONE" hates Web wrapper apps... or so we are told. And Project Centennial... It never had a chance. Why would any company even try to rebuild an app that they already
have built, to then have to pay money to sell it in the "Windows App Store"? I mean they are currently pay nothing for people to download it from them right now. What is the benefit? On top of this businesses don't pay money when they get it for free, nor
do they worry about getting caught using bootlegged/copyrighted materials and applications. So why would they do this?

So back to my question of running a new OS. Would anyone know how to do this? The phone hardware is pretty solid and I really don't want to just throw it away after the OS support go away too.
