Custom ROMs isn't really a Windows Phone thing. There have been a few but at most they offered an updated version of the OS or some minor tweaks here and there. However that might change soon thanks to the developers at XDA. DeepShining is a custom ROM for HD7 that does more than just minor tweaks.
Some of the highlights of the ROM includes:

- Some minor reg Tweaks
- OEM apps from HTC Omega like HTC Hub, Notes, Attentive phone, HTC Location and HTC Connected Media
- Available Languages:

How to Install
1. If you have MANGO with SPL 4.xx in your device, flash a NODO Rom first to downgrade SPL otherwise you´ll brick it.
2. You must have RSPL/HSPL installed in your device , download RSPL/HSPL see this thread HERE.
3. Before doing any operations be sure you have battery level more than 50%!
4. Download and flash DeepShining ROM.
The ROM seems to be in pretty good shape as I haven't really seen a lot of people complain but as always with custom ROMs always flash at your own risk and expect bugs and instabilities.
