[ROM] (First) HTC 7 Pro 7.8 & HTC Arrive 7.8 Sianto Edition - xda-developers
Just in case people didn't know (or if people even bother to check this forum now that it's legacy
)
I have it running on mine, and things seem okay. I don't like how certain things seem broken. Like some of the live tiles like Xbox.
EDIT:
After testing it for about 1hr, I'm already contemplating rolling back if I can. This rom is seemingly not finished. There's a lot of things that I immediately noticed.
Some of the live tiles aren't working anymore, such as the HTC Hub tile. If you make it smaller, the tile crashes and you can only have to 2 smaller options.
Tiles that are rebranded or changed in some way don't have effects. For example, the Xbox tile doesn't have your avatar pop up randomly, and the messaging tile, while 2x1, won't do the transition effects.
Overall, most of the former moving tiles seem stark and not moving. It's pretty jarring and weird, seeing WP7 not have the effects on everything. It makes it look kind of dead, which is strange.
The camera app for some reason does not have all the settings in them. There's only the options for flash it seems. This is annoying, cause it means you can't change the resolution, white balance, etc.
The font is also slightly changed. I don't know if this is the cook's doing or if this was from microsoft, but the font is slightly bigger. I think it might be using normal Segoe instead of Segoe WP.
That's all I've found so far, but basically, if these things would annoy you, I would venture not to upgrade just yet. Maybe when there's a new more complete leak or something, cause things don't seem to be ready yet. It does run as expected though, smooth as butter and seemingly fully function.
