in a draw i found an old windows phone i stopped using because they are no longer supported. i'm wondering if there's a project like dd-wrt or openwrt for phones. it would be nice to restore some life into it.

Not sure how router firmware would be of any use on a phone but this may help make use of it maybe? https://www.windowscentral.com/android-apps-can-now-run-your-old-windows-phone-some-tinkering-and-caveats

You may want to add "windows", i.e. "custom roms for windows phones".

CyanogenMod used to be a thing...
lineageOS

it is funny how people post in the forum a question like this instead of using a search engine

All you need, is to change your policy to stop using something that you claim isn't "supported". If they didn't nuke it from orbit, it's supported by the OS already on it.
