I'll reply (I've been away for a bit and busy with school): 7.8 works fine, but you'll notice glitches here and there. It is still functional for use; however, you will notice things like the some live tiles not resizing properly or some stock tiles not showing up as they should. I personally don't like those type of glitches, so I am not using it on my own phone. I'd recommend sticking with the latest 7.5 release, unless you are feeling adventurous. The official 7.8 release isn't far, hopefully.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Yes last I heard was an Italian affiliate was quoted as saying that the official 7.8 will be out weeks after the roll out of WP8 devices. Hopefully that is the case.
[HTC 7 Pro] dandrayan:
Thanks again!

I bought a pair of Nokia Lumia 920s for myself and my girlfriend yesterday, so my trusty HTC Arrive has now been retired. Leadpoizon, I wanted to thank you again for all of the hard work you put into these ROMs! Keep it up and I hope to see your work again someday on a Windows Phone 8 device too. :)
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
I played with the HTC 8X and I have to say it was gorgeous, I have heard rumblings that the 920 is very heavy but I am a guy that likes a solid built phone. My other problem is there is no way I am going to switch to AT&T because they are crap here in Houston so I am trying to decide between T-Mobile or Verizon for 2 of my phones, unless Sprint screws up and changes their contract again so I can get out of ETF on the 3rd phone.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Lead, any updates on your next release with the rtm build?
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get my hands on the source yet, so as soon as I do, I'll make the ROM.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
i know this not Lead's fault but isn't it ridiculous they are saying we may not see an official update until 1st or 2nd quarter of 2013? I am already pissed at Sprint for not getting Windows Phone 8 and now I have to wait forever for an official release of 7.8 from Microsoft. Me using Xbox Music on my PC, Xbox and tablet but still using Zune on my phone is screwing things up. Sorry for the rant.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
I know the feeling, but Sprint has adviced they WILL carry WP8 (they were aparently working with Microsoft) but at the beginning of next year...

Hey @Leadpoizon:

Is there a posibility that you would be able to update your 7.8 Rom with the new 8858 build found in Dynamics V2 Rom? I can personally test on my device and report back ASAP!

Your 7.8 Rom is the most stable for Arrive users and I use it as my daily driver. Thanks for all your help and your work. Cant wait to try out the RTM build if you decide to make one! jejeje :fingers-crossed:
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Yes i agree with mapa, leads is my daily

But i must admit the features that come with dynamics rom appear enticing

Either way im excited about the upgrade
[HTC 7 Pro] killerkhatiby009:
Definitely looking forward to an RTM 7.8 version of this ROM, been using LEAD since it first came out though I've been reluctant to try the 7.8 ROM until a more stable release so hopefully RTM delivers that
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Killerkitty, i must tell you that Leads current 7.8 rom IS very stable. The only issue that seems to exist is slightly poorer battery life. My phone does not crash.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
+1 to this. My phone does not crash either and the release is beautifully stable. Give it a try ;)
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
If I don't return this Samsung Galaxy S3 before my 14 days are up my Arrive will be on my second line and I can test 7.8, YAY! I live in Houston where Sprint's 3g is horribad and I had to get a 4g phone so I jumped on the GS# for $1. I can't wait to test Leads 7.8 out. I am curious if it has Xbox Music on it or Zune still?
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
The new 7.8 will be out soon(few days). I have to say that I'm a little disappointed, since there isn't much new stuff here and Sprint isn't getting a WP8 device any time soon. :/

I need to do some testing until I can release, so just hang tight folks!
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Quick note

Quick update note for those waiting. Here's what 7.8 has to offer from what I have discovered so far:

- New start screen

- Changed logo on Office hub. (Seriously MS? You could have at least ADDED something)

- Bing lockscreen wallpapers.

- When playing music, music controls pop-up upon screen turning on. (Controls don't stay on the lockscreen)

- Music live tile awesomely revamped. (It looks awesome, trust me)

- Games hub live tile revamped. (Looks green... The avatar popping up has a white stroke around him that looks bad)

- Searching maps and local now also show indoor maps and more info. ( I don't think this was available previously.)

- More Accent colors. Names no longer visible in the picker. (I already had all these colors implemented in the 7.5 ROM)

What should've been added but was not:

- Xbox music instead of Zune. (WHY?! I wanted Xbox music!)

- Screenshot capability.

- Dark theme for mail app.

- Updates to Office hub.

- WP8 options to IE. (Search on page and ability to change button next to address bar.)

Anyway, expect the ROM soon. (aka when I get time to upload, since final exams are upon me!)
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Man I can't wait. This is gonna be good. Thanks on the update of what will be or IS included in the new ROM, those changes and updates sound good to me. jejeje

Hey Lead, I'm excited to wait on your release of this rom. I just want to request that you include that HTC clock tile if it can be done. thanks for the wonderful work!
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
New ROM is up. Enjoy. Positive feedback welcome.

Sorry, but until HTC releases/leaks a ROM with that app built in, it's not possible to get it. The one you see in all the Dynamics ROMs is a custom app called "Clock Hub" that ultrashot made. He has forbidden anyone else from using that app (And everything else in his recent ROM) in their ROMs.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Just saw you got the new one out!!! AWESOME!!! About to download man thanks!!! :D
[HTC 7 Pro] da1stprince:
thanks for the quick response Lead, shame about the clock but life goes on..thanks again!
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
So... It may just be me and my eyes playing tricks on me but the 8858 RTM definitely feels smoother. I don't know, I actually like the colors for the the new icons on office and Xbox but... It grew on me quickly. I'm liking liking the build!

Thanks Lead!

[HTC 7 Pro] jeffc313:
thanks leadpoizon!

does this rom allow install of nokia drive/maps? Is there any instruction on how to do that?
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
No device allows you to use NOKIA products without them being actual NOKIA devices. Most NOKIA products check to make sure your device IS a NOKIA and therefore you cannot download them from the Marketplace as they have the security built in. If you install from marketplace you will receive a Device is not Supported message.

In order for you to use Nokia Drive/Maps you need to download the UNLOCKED xap, either by using a custom Marketplace such as DevStore8 (which allows install of many different homebrew/unlocked apps) or downloading the actual unlocked file. You can search through the forums and find these but I hate that answer so here are the links:

DevStore8 3.2 = http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1530113

NOKIA DRIVE 3.0 = http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1786372 - I believe POST 7 has the unlocked xap link to download.

Hope this helps. :D
[HTC 7 Pro] cuesporttech:
Thanks Lead, this ROM kicks ASS! :)
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
Hmm, should I put this new one on my phone or wait for the one with Xbox Music since the Arrive is back to my daily driver, I returned the Galaxy S3.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Its much smoother, the only slow part that I notice is when tapping an app directly from the start screen, there is a brief pause for the loading of the app begins. In previous builds as soon as I tapped an app it would begin to load. I'm still overall very happy with the update. Anyone else notice how fast the phone powers on now? I don't think its ever been faster. Thanks again Lead
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
The 7.8 build from MS does not include Xbox Music. I don't know whether a later update might include it, but no 7.8 ROM on XDA is going to have it right now. I'm not happy about that either, but I guess we'll have to wait and see whether there is another update for our phones.
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
That may be why it is taking Microsoft so long to release the update then because they said that was going to be one of the features in the release of 7.8. Thanks for the info.
[HTC 7 Pro] da1stprince:
hey lead, im having major problems with starting some of my favorite games like crimson dragon, angry birds, dondonpachi,etc...it seems like there is not enough memory to run the games or something. are you familiar with this issue? other than that working great!
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Upon reading da1stprince's comment above, I tested some games too (since I downloaded but didn't play them yet) and found the same issue. I have also noticed the home screen tiles sometimes do not refresh, they are the TileClock app (htc look-alike) and at times WPCentral but they recently updated so I'm not sure if it's just a bug on their end though...

Sent from my T7575 using Board Express
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Ok. In regard to the live tiles... I turned off the TOAST notifications and all my tiles are working fine. I guess there's an issue when a toast comes up and stops the tiles from refreshing. But games are still not running (Mirrors Edge runs fine) but others like Extraction only egin to open and then go back to the Game screen...

Sent from my T7575 using Board Express
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
I haven't had any issues at all with the home screen tiles, but I will look into the games issue. I tried some of the sames. It seems the issue is only with Xbox live games and I know why. I'll get on fixing this next chance I get.
[HTC 7 Pro] jmart:
I noticed the Xbox SmartGlass app doesn't work is this part of the same issues.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Yup, should be the same issue. Uploading the new ROM now...

EDIT: New ROM now up.
[HTC 7 Pro] tdecision10:
Greetings Lead, I just upgraded to your latest and put on the search key setting xap. It let me select which program to remap to but it doesnt actually work. Thoughts?

Sim Locked...

Hi All,

Hope everyone is well. I am having an issue with not only the latest Lead ROM but all roms at this point. I am on my second replacement Arrive from Sprint. I have Hard SPL'ed all my phones thus far and put custom roms on all of them. I'm fairly use to the process at this point. On my latest replacement phone I first flashed Anser's Rom, then Lead Rom, and then even two other roms. I realize this forum is only for Lead ROM, and Lead I do love and respect the work you are doing. Having said that I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. Ever since I started flashing with this particular phone, over half the time, I get a lock symbol on my sim card instead of having bars... After reboots it gives me bars for a bit but then locks the sim once again. I have searched the forums and have yet to find anything. Anyone? Help? Please?

-Marcus
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
Are you sure you have the SPRINT ARRIVE? the reason I ask is because we don't have a SIM card, that is only available with the 7Pro not the Arrive. That may be your issue, flashing the wring rom on the wrong phone...

Sent from my ARRIVE running Leadpoizon RTM 7.8 while using Board Express.
[HTC 7 Pro] samsithelp:
o0h yes. I know... That is the weird thing. I am on Sprint and I do have an Arrive Gold_C. And I know I don't have a SIM card... This is just boggling. At this point I have tried multiple roms and all yield the same result. My gut is telling me that it might have something to do with the radio that was paired with rom. Or, maybe when I flash the radio is not being written??? I know that I downloaded the correct version of the roms for the one I tried. At any rate, the rom I am currently on is using Nokia drive instead of Sprint's NAV and thinks the phone is a Nokia. Fail, considering it is an HTC...
[HTC 7 Pro] aijalon:
hey lead love your rom was wondering if your're planning on bringing are arrives into wp8?? if it's possible

thanks!!
[HTC 7 Pro] Hootyhoo:
I have really been trying

I need to downgrade my rom on a sprint htc arrive with the nodo rom and I cannot find any working link downloads for it. It seems that answars rapidshare isnt working. Does anyone know how this can be downloaded. I appreciate any reply. Thank you.
[HTC 7 Pro] Nimdock:
Thanks for all the hard work lead. It is great! :D

As someone else mentioned (using the latest version) it definitely feels that there is a lag between pressing the tile and the application starting to open.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
I'll look in my files to see if I have it.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It seems like an issue with the new build. I wish there was something I could do about it.

Windows Phone 8 runs on a different kernel. This means that it's not simple to just dump the OS and put it on to our phones. Someone would have to patch that kernel to work with our phones or something (Not a simple task and might be impossible). That is beyond my knowledge, unfortunately. If someone does find a way, I'll love to try WP8 on our phones.

See if you can reflash the HSPL with the radio. That might help. After that, try my ROM, since I think it's the most complete for Sprint settings.
[HTC 7 Pro] Hootyhoo:
Thanks for reply. I have been holding off buying my arrive for the soul fact that it wasn't unlockable and now it seems everyone has managed to unlock them and load roms. I respect the fact that you seem to be more concerned about the sprint service than most and I used your rom on my tp2. The only issues I have with my locked arrive is the volume and internet sharing. All else I can deal with.

Here's my specs as it stands right now.

Os ver. 7.10.7720.68

Hardware rev. 0002

Radio software ver. 1.53.00.08.30.23.16w.05.06v

Radio hardware ver. 2.0.3.0

Bootloader ver. 4.3.230513.1(130787)

Maybe this will help someone help me unlock. I thank ya much.
[HTC 7 Pro] samsithelp:
Hey Lead, Thanks for the personalized response... So, I am a bit confused... I reflashed the HSPL, IDK how to apply the radio component individually. Or does it come with the HSPL and rom reflash automatically. But, what I have done is reflashed the HSPL and then tried your rom. It looked good for a moment, but then the sim lock icon came back. Gah! I don't know what I am doing wrong here. I'm starting to feel like it is a gremlin.

At any rate, one suggestion for your rom would be the addition of the TeleNav app. I actually grew quite fond of it as a free NAV program given by sprint. Any way to include it? I guess at this point I mention it for the benefit of others considering my phone now only half works...

Any further guidance towards fixing my current woes, will be much appreciated and I am sure that would also go towards the purchase of your fav beer on my tab. =)

Cheers! Any and all... Know anything?

-M
[HTC 7 Pro] turdsamich:
The Sprint TeleNav app is available free in the marketplace, just download it.
[HTC 7 Pro] Hootyhoo:
maybe call me stupid but,

I finally got unlocked and loaded your rom. Works perfect for my needs. Call me stupid but how do you guys load other ringtones that are not in the rom. I have been reading all through this forum as well as all other forums. What's the fool proof secret? Any help would be nice. Thanks

No luck on this one????
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
I would love to roll back to the original Arrive rom so i can create a Zune backup, any luck finding a copy? For some reason mine did not have the original rom it had a later one when I first got it.
[HTC 7 Pro] Hootyhoo:
mapaz your reply was totally awesome. A little bit more work than my tp2 but I think it'll be worth it. Do you know if anyone ever managed to get the speaker volume up. I tried the reg edit of in call volume but noticed nothing other than the volume number being larger. Maybe good for fine adjustment but nothing for louder than stock. I've been looking for a few days with no results that works. Maybe someone reading this knows. Once again thanks.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
I have you covered for this. Already have this working in the current ROM I have. I'll release the next version soon.
[HTC 7 Pro] Hootyhoo:
diagnostic mode for volume.

Does using the diagnostic mode really raise max volume on system and when you tap diag. Option it says it wants to reset phone first. Is this a soft reset or a hard one that will erase memory. I have an HTC arrive with this rom flashed onto it and im trying to get the volume louder. This seems to be the last chance. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
No. Most of the tweaks only change the amount of numbers you get (I.E. - From 10 to 30 max volume) but there is no true increase to the actual sound. Ive also looked for this since I used to use a program on wm6.5 to increase the volume on the touchpro but have yet to find anything for WP7...
[HTC 7 Pro] Hootyhoo:
on tp2 i used that audiophile prog.

yes I used a program that automatically editted I believe the reg. Like I said, I try looking completely through the reg. Nothing helps. I really think its in the diagnostic code that you can make the difference but there is no way to get to anything related to volume. You would think that 2 years of op that someone would of figured a way out. Its obviously a problem.
[HTC 7 Pro] cuesporttech:
bug report...

The only thing I found wrong with this ROM so far is that it won't allow you to send video via text, email, etc. It handles pics just fine, but the video just won't attach or send either way you try it.
[HTC 7 Pro] leadpoizon:
Do you know of a ROM that works with this phone that DOES have this working properly?
[HTC 7 Pro] cuesporttech:
True... All the other roms since the Stock ROM didn't work until Ansar's 8773 Tango ROM came out and then it all worked great. No, it's not a deal-breaker or anything for me at least as I was merely saying your ROM was flawless except for that minor feature I noticed. I think your ROM is amazing and I'll be looking forward to your 7.9 ROM or whatever final update they decide is it for WP7 users.
[HTC 7 Pro] mizzour:
I noticed that after installing the 7.8 rom that the official USA Today application will not install from the marketplace. Anyone else notice this?
[HTC 7 Pro] samsithelp:
Thanks for Everything~

Hey all,

Have not been in this forum for very long, but I did have the Arrive. Until I flashed it and something broke. :( Having a long history of successfull flashes, IDK what happened on this round.

At any rate, after a week and a half of frustration, I gave up on trying to fix it and on sprint. It was just time to move on. So... I got the Galaxy 3 III with Verizon. And OMG. This phone is krazy awesome. I will always have a place in my heart for WP7 and 8, but... All I can say, is I can take photos by talking to my phone. Stupid Krazy Awesome Cool.

Thanks to all who lent a helping hand in my times of need.

Peace! :laugh:

Bluetooth ADP2 setting

I am loving this rom. I would like to ask if you could please Please include the Bluetooth setting that allows ADP2 to always have it enabled. I loved the reg-edit that enabled this so I could watch movies and listen through my stereo bluetooth headset.

I have a simple question, How do you install XAP files onto the device. Please
[HTC 7 Pro] Tbbo514:
love the rom dude and ur right none of the others were developed for gold_c ..this one run so perfect i had to get the demo software of my phone and ur rom fixed all my problems..i would donate if i could *lost my job :(* to u and all the other awesome devs because i think yall deserve it!
[HTC 7 Pro] CEMIII:
application will not install from the marketplace

Yes I have installed this last and am having the same issues. Also I am having an issue with picture & video messaging. Is there a resolve????
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
Does the rom support Zune and Zune updates so I can run the WP7 Easy Backup Tool? Trying to backup before I try the 7.8 rom.
[HTC 7 Pro] x_orange90_x:
Syncing with Zune works, but as far as updates, I'm not sure. If you backup your 7.5 it isn't going to sync with 7.8 if that's what your wanting. AFAIK you can only restore to the same ROM.

You can manually sync music, videos, and pictures with Zune, and contacts are automatically synced with SkyDrive. What is it you need to backup?
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
A **** ton of texts, I hate losing them and my conversation's. I can just go back to the lead rom I was on when I made the back up and restore it and then use smsbackup to make the backup instead.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

Nevermind, I already tried that rom last night to restore and it didn't work so I guess I am out 6000 texts since September.
[HTC 7 Pro] x_orange90_x:
:( sorry to hear that, that is a lot of texts..

Come to think of it, when I flashed my phone I didn't even think about the SMSs, and so now I'm neglecting to think it on purpose in case I remember something I should have backed up ;)
[HTC 7 Pro] hanjamin300:
I am finding that I am completely unable to download my MMS messages. I've tried all of the methods y'all have mentioned about trying to repair the problem and they don't seem to be working for me. I did have the ability to send and receive MMS messages at the beginning, but somewhere along the way I lost all ability to do so. I thought I'd ask for advice before I attempted a hard reset.
[HTC 7 Pro] mapaz04:
MMS issue

Ok, first, this happens to all Arrives from time to time, I think it's Sprint really. Anyways, when this occurs reboot your phone and try downloading again. If it does not work after that you may be close to a weak tower, ensure to turn off SMS CONCANTENATION from your Settings > Network and choose that option "OFF" and try it again...

Hope that helps before you hard reset.
[HTC 7 Pro] x_orange90_x:
you can try what mapaz04 suggested, and also under settings got to Cellular and press Update Network Profile.. ive had the very same issue in the past even on the stock ROM, updating the network profile solved it for me every time.
