Pardon the deep, but how would I come across reinstalling the app? Just deploy a new .xap?

Thanks!
Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I've given my Focus to my brother, so I don't have it here to test this. But, I believe you can just delete it and then go into the Store and Install it from the Nokia Store. If I remember correctly, this ROM has the Nokia Settings installed so the Store believes it's actually a Nokia Phone. Installation should be the same as any other APP from the store.

I plan on flashing my Focus tonight. Right now I have the DFT Freedom ROM, but don't like the splash screen, and really want the 7.8 start screen.

One person said that they received the 8862 update through Zune after flashing the latest ROM. Has anyone else received the update? I know versions before 8862 had a lot of live tile issues.

If I have to update through SevenEighter, does anyone know the languages I need to select to update this ROM to 8862?

Thanks

I appreciate the help thus far, but still no luck!

I just updated via Zune and received that update with no problems (so far)

The download link is not working. I get to the download page but when I try to access the actual file, it times out. I tried IE9, IE10 and Firefox 21 on two different computers.

Does anyone have the 3.10a zip file?

OK, just downloaded the 3.10a update from a mirror site (again, thanks SuperSport), flashed my phone and set it up. When signing into Zune for the first time, it WILL detect you need to update. The first update is to 8860 and the next is the 8862 build that fixes the live tile issues.

For those who need to unlock SD cards:

You need to format them again, then unlock them using the included app. Do this before you personalize your phone because you will lose all your data. I had three cards to unlock, plus one to use onboard (the Samsung C2 16B card) so I had to reformat a total of 5 times after the flash.

Also due to some strange reason, Windows will only access the first 200 MB of the SD card. This was tested using a W8 and a W7 PC. You can not access the rest of the drive even through Disk Manager. I ended up using the low level format tool on my Canon PowerShot to access and unify the partitions.

Overall, this is a great ROM, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for 7.8 with additional access to the system, but without all the fluff.

Backup before update

Hi y'all!

I am sure somebody asked before but I cannot find it. I would like to update from an older version of this custom ROM to the latest version. Is it possible to backup user data (setting, WLAN passwords, SMS etc.) and application data (e.g. WhatsApp & Kakao Talk conversations)? And import it into the new version?

Cheers,
Ben

Hi, I have a custom rom (not sure which one, since 3-4 months) and there are small lags in the phone. Will this version fix all of these lags? or few freezes when playing music?

Any similar experience?

no i haven´t had any of that problem with this rom- the only problem of 3.10a is the normal delay for open some apps but this is fault of windows phone 7.8

how to alter the search provider?

I have changed the search provider inside IE from Bing->Google but what about the soft-button in the bottom row? Is there no way to change how this acts? For the life of me I cannot figure it out and despite searching around in this thread, I am left asking.

Thanks!

    Ok folks, I've been running versions of my newest build on my Focus, Lumia 800, and HD2 now for about a week and all three devices are rock solid so time for a public release.

    So here are the fruits of my labor. My goal was to stay as minimal and as stock as possible. Windows Phone as it is supposed to be. Most of the changes are 'under-the-hood' type changes so your device will still look stock but you will have all the perks of a fully unlocked ROM. There is support cooked in for ultrashot's packages but the XAP's have been left out. This way if you want them you can side-load them but for those that don't there is no extra clutter to worry about. For those using build 3.00 (does not apply to 3.05+) to make things easier for you all I have included the two most important ultrashot XAP's at the bottom of this post. You will need to side-load AccountManager if you want the ability to run programs that need 'Root' and if you want the ability to install XAP's via IE you will need to side-load XapDeployer. For those that aren't concerned with any of this you don't have to do anything.

    I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR PHONE EXPLODES OR ANYTHING ELSE. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

    THANKS: DFT Team, AnDim, OSBuilder Team, xboxmod, ultrashot, ceesheim, mirolg, contable, Heathcliff74 and Microsoft

    EXTRA THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOR THEIR DONATIONS: RonV42

    BUGS: Let me know.

    OTHER: While I have included ultrashot's unlocks and added support for his SearchKeySettings the SearchKeySettings XAP is not installed. If you would like this functionality you will have to install it. Support for SearchKeySettings has been removed as of build 1.25 because it broke voice search in bing.

    BATTERY: Some users have suggested that perhaps 'Extra Settings' uses extra battery. So I have attached to this post a XAP that will 'pull' 'Extra Settings' from the 'Settings' menu thus allowing it to be uninstalled. Extra Settings has been removed as of build 1.25.

    As always, if you like my work please click "THANKS" ;)

    DOWNLOAD build 3.10a - WP 7.8
    DOWNLOAD build 2.01a - Tango
    DOWNLOAD build 1.30 - Mango
    If you have trouble downloading try using IE9, it should work then.

    MIRROR of builds 1.10, 1.20, 1.20a, 1.25, 2.00 <- Thanks SuperSport

    MIRROR of builds 1.30, 2.00 <- Thanks HaVoKeR

    HOW TO INSTALL:

    0.) Have MAGLDR installed on your phone and Samsung Drivers installed on your PC
    1.) Place the zip files 'OS.D000FF + CSC.D000FF + DFT_WPI_SAM1.exe + rapitool.exe' in a folder
    2.) Go to 'Settings' -> 'about' -> 'reset your phone' -> 'yes' -> 'yes'
    3.) Right when the screen goes black press and hold 'voldown + camera'
    4.) Press '<-' (cancel)
    5.) Plug your phone into your PC
    6.) Flash OS.D000FF + CSC.D000FF with DFT_WPI_SAM1.exe
    7.) Wait
    8.) Go through the setup wizard on phone
    9.) Go to 'Settings' -> 'about' -> 'reset your phone' -> 'yes' -> 'yes'
    10.) Enjoy and press 'thanks' below (optional)





    EXTRA CAB's (these work with build 1.20 and later): These probably won't work well with build 3.00

    1.) contable's full system skin *!*first you MUST send the REMOVE CAB to uninstall the old Storage Lock*!*
    2.) extra accents (zebra, nokia blue, htc green) and themes (night, blood, ocean, jungle) <- Build 1.25 and later
    3.) XBOX Live & Office icon 'fixer'

    This release is to make sure all the backend changes I made function properly before Tango comes out so that I can be sure any quirks that might pop up then are not comming from anything I have done here. So please if you notice anything that is 'not quite right' please post it. That said this should be very stable.
