First Windows Phone 7.8 custom ROM lands at XDA Forums for the HD7

File this nether shocking, but wonder hacker Dotcompt has gone ahead an managed to port over Windows Phone 7.8 (early build) from a Nokia telephone to a the venerable HTC HD7.

The ROM is now live and ready to be downloaded though like all ROMs, there are some caveats and things to pay attention too, including the fact that this has non yet been widely tested. For the nearly role, it looks like you just become a new First screen just it'south as well early to tell.

Dotcompt'southward notes on the release are quite specific and if you are willing to flash your HD7 for the new Bone, it should be quite a wild ride:

• Os Version: 7.10.8835.35
• ONLY FOR HTC HD7 (I will try to port it to other devices as soon equally I have some costless fourth dimension)
• Available languages: only English
• You tin now take the the new Windows Phone eight Start Screen.
• I did not examination it properly, I was in a hurry to share with you guys.
• For certain, it is nonetheless a Microsoft Beta Build and then some thing may not work, specially in none Nokia Devices.
• The Rom was dumped from a Nokia device and is based on Tango 12180, because information technology won't boot if we utilize WP 7.eight kernel.dll and probably virtually 3d party apps from Marketplace might crash.
• The Rom is almost untouched, this ways it is not full unlocked or rooted and homebrew apps will non work (for now). It has but a few Deepshining customizations.
• Yous tin can always flash back a WP7.5 Rom if you wish.

Of course we're not sure if its more astonishing that Dotcompt managed to go his easily on WP7.eight (which is nearly likely unfinished) or that he went so far as to port it over to the HD7.

For those wanting this on other Windows Phone, we're certain that information technology is just a matter of time before other 'chefs' pick up and practice simply that.
