Nokia 5800XM v60|RM-356 - "Metro 8" - OFW based CFW

About
Dust-off that old Symbian phone of yours and try Metro 8!
We all know that Nokia has abandoned symbian and moved on to Windows Phone, so why not move also to Windows Phone? Well, there might be many obstacles why we can't - so we find ways, like modding
Metro 8 brings up the new Windows Phone look to your old phone.
Metro comes from the words Modern-UI and Retro, or simply from Microsoft's UI.
Enough said, let's go to the changes.
