Leaked Tango SS2
While being a good guy and waiting to get the update like the common folk ( assuming your carrier plays nice ) might eventually get you the Windows Phone 7.5 Refresh update once it starts to roll out , the bad boys can flash custom ROM’s that are popping up over at xda-developers. So if you are with a Gen 1 device ( Samsung Omnia 7 , Focus , HTC Trophy, etc ) you should be seeing some custom ROMS cooked from the Tango Build 7.10.98.8773 ROM dump leaked on to
xda-devs. It’s not likely Gen 2 devices will be seeing any love for now.

App backup challenge
I wrote an article earlier about Rafael Rivera’s 12 hour Hack-a-thon, it was my hope that he would succeed in his self made challenge, unforunately for us, he was not successful as yet, but has let us know the challenge timer may have expired but the task will still be worked on, perhaps by more individuals. I asked Rafael for a quote to add to the story and he said the following…

Following the news of update 8107 being reserved for carriers that request it, I was a little frustrated to say the least,I wanted to find a work-around and in my search I found this thread on xda-dev that listed the download locations to the official update files on Microsoft’s servers, and I remembered that xboxmod & YukiXDA had released a WP Update Cab Sender batch file that uses the WPUpdate.exe file that Zune updates your phone with, so here’s a tutorial that will enable you to update your phone to the latest version (7.10.8107) with a few clicks.
