Unofficial Sprint Mogul update on the lose
* The official update is out and available
I’m not sure if Sprint leaked this or someone set it free on his/her own but the test release for Moguls update is out. I’ve installed it and am thrilled. Rev A is working as is GPS.
If you are comfortable hacking your phone, check out
PPC Geeks or Xda Developers for downloads and more information.
Remember this is not for the faint of heart, rumor has it the official release will be out in March for those of you preferring the cutting edge to the bleeding edge.
We had no problems flashing two phones. Using Virtal PC from the Mac.
GPS seems to take a while to get going and the internet seemed flaky for a while but settled down in a few hours. Most people report needing to set the GPS to Com 4 to work, Com 2 worked here. Go figure.
Google Maps and Windows Live both use the GPS just fine once you get the first lock.

HTC Touch Cube ported for other WM6 phones
So you have a Window’s Mobile phone, the iPhone interface is old news and you’re lusting after the Touch. Again the folks at PPC Geeks (thread ) have put together a cool interface for your phone. I have it working on my Mogul and it was painless to install. ( And it plays nice with your HTC Touch Today Screen ). You’ll have to experiment to see if it will work on other phones.
The files you need are in the first post of the thread above, download and install them same as you would any program. You MUST then do a soft reset for the cube to work.
There is a You Tube demo of it if you want a peek first.
I couldn’t get the customizer that comes with it to work, I had to use PHM Registry Editor. But I needed to install and learn to use a registry editor anyhow. There’s a weirdness to the registry editors. Type your changes, count to 3, turn off phone, count to 3, turn on phone count to 3, turn off phone, count to 3, soft reboot. You have to flush the cache for the changes to take place properly.
The Touch Key board can be found here
