Windows Phone 7.8 ROM leaks for HTC HD7 (update: HTC Titan, Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 too) [XDA]

Windows Phone 7.8

Related: Windows Phone 7.8 update being rolled out. Here is how to get it.

There has been no official dates announced for the Windows Phone 7.8 update however, Dotcompt over at XDA has already ported a ROM for the HTC HD7.

update: HTC Titan owners can now  also get their hands on the 7.8 ROM (XDA link).

update 2: Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 owners are now part of the leaked ROM party.

The very buggy ROM, in its current state, was dumped from a Nokia device running the 7.8 update. As expected of an early build of any ROM, it won’t be ideal for every day use.

Windows Phone 7.8 is Microsoft’s solution to not updating current handsets to Windows Phone 8. It will bring some new features included in the update to current handsets; the most noticeable being the new start screen.

Features of the HTC  Titan ROM are:

  • Background Colors
  • Google Search
  • Update to 7.8
  • Nokia / Lumia App (Counters..)
  • DigitalPower_V0.5
  • RegistryEditor
  • FileBrowser
  • DFT_BTFileTransfer
  • USB 2 Video out

See the source link below to head over to XDA and get your hands on the ROM (only if you know what you’re doing.)

update: ” The forum link has been removed for the time being, as the original leak contained identifiable information.” via XDA Blog.
