Windows Phone 7 Series UI Clone being Developed for WM 6.x

You knew this was coming and that it was only a matter of time, but there’s now a Windows Phone 7 Series themed shell being developed by Jaxbot at XDA-developers. It’s not much to look at right now, seeing how it’s a new project and riddled with bugs, but it’s still kind of intriguing to see. Check out the video preview below. 




It’s only an alpha, but here’s what’s working so far:


• Set Phone, Text, Outlook, and People to a certain app
• See upcoming appointments on lock screen
• See information on live tiles

There’s no doubt that an unofficial WP7S UI would be popular among the WM community, so it’s good to see the ball rolling already. I wouldn't mind seeing that lockscreen released as a separate app when it's polished off and completed :). Take the early test release for a spin (VGA/WVGA only) and view the discussion at XDA-developers.
