Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

I just read that Windows Mobile 6.5 is coming out in February. How can we find out if HTC will provide an update for the Mogul?

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

I imagine the Titan wizards here will post something as soon as someone knows something

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

Microsoft hasn't said that 6.5 will be released as a free update like 6.1 was

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

It most likely will get ported by someone here at PPCgeeks. But your days are limited do to the limited ram with the titan.

Microsoft or HTC will never have an official 6.5 or 7 rom for the titan.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

If we don't get an official upgrade, i'm sure the great minds here and at XDA will be able to port it over in a custom ROM. Now the question is, how RAM intensive will it be?

it seems that sprint has discontinued the mogul as of this month. i doubt it gets anything(from sprint that is). they're gonna force people to get the tp.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

i notice that too and even on HTC website its not there anymore. whats up with that.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

It's still on the HTC site, here. Make sure you go to the US site (www.htc.com/us) and you can find it under the support tab.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

Yes. If WM6.5 is any more RAM intensive, I'll probably have to live without it.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

The Titan barely runs 6.1. I highly doubt 6.5 will run any better, if at all, on the Titan.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

IDK about yours but mine runs just fine on 6.1, its all in how you cook and tweak and load the device.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

I am trying to get a titan kitchen together right now with 6.5. I have not flahs it yet, i need to find a good base first. so i am looking around.

If i get it i will post a kitchen later tonight. it still needs some work. but it will be a start.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

do u even know what ur talking about??? Then again, maybe i just dont..

But, how can u start a 6.5 kitchen, when nothings been released??? you have no actual 6.5 things to use..no RUU, no newer Radio...

Don't doubt the great conflipper.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

if they made 6.1 available on the 6700..which was way outdated really by the time 6.1 came around... why wouldnt they make 6.5 available for the mogul which will be outdated by then..

i dont know the specs on alot of phones...the mogul is the only phone with 64mb of RAM?? i know the Pro is 288mb..

but theres over a hundred handsets running WinMo worldwide (all have more than 64mb of ram besides mogul?), so Microsoft has to do something for Most of these users youd think

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

if you complete that project with those imagaes you show....

youll get sued man, see where it says "this computer is protected by US and International Laws" thats their safeguard..

were going over stuff like this in my Buisness Law classes right now.. Basically how people take a product that exsists, tweak it, and rebrand it...

i know your not selling it..and i checked the link for your tread on this.. I really like how everyones gonna do this together.. so Please allow my apology for not researching to check it out b4 commenting...

but in order not to get throw in Jail, yes i know were all thinkin, "Jail, yeah right, thats jumping the gun abit".. just hear me out for a second.. if this project gets completed, and HAS that micosoft info on it or anything microsoft related(images,MS office programs etc) your gonna hear about it... heres why:

How fast does something NEW and GOOD, fly through here onto a users handset??

this will get MASS DL'd, itll be on XDA, itll get linked to every site in the world within days i guarentee it.. You dont think Microsoft is gonna get angry that someone beat them to the punch and finished THEIR project b4 they could.. Itll be everywhere, if you think phone companies and developers for companies dont hang out in places like this to sort of snoop for new ideas and see user responses for things, your mistaken...

doesnt anything think its strange that sprints OFFICAL PIC MAIL is oh so similar to what every brags about in SomeGuysMMS?? it uses all the same tech, just a slightly UI, im sure so he couldnt sue them...

Look im sure im coming across as against this, just trying to show another side here.. again, after i read ur Main Thread on this, i loved the idea of the group project..

Im just saying, be careful here.. all that stuff with MS' name on it is copyrighted stuff snd im sure their a comany that wont look the other way

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

There is already a project going on at XDA with 6.5 has well. I am aware of this, and I know that MS might not like it, but then again, this is a very early build that got leaked out, and they are already leaps and bounds ahead of this. But i am sure if MS has a problem wiht this then they will contact the web host, and it will be removed right away.

I am not trying to take on MS here, they will smash me if i try that.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

Does anyone else feel like we're seeing a real-life version of "The Gods Must Be Crazy"?

Instead of a coke bottle falling to the ground, we have a leaked beta of WinMo 6.5

Might also be that it's too early in the AM and wifey spiked my coffee..

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

How different is it from 6.1?

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

It is a little faster, but for the most part just an advanced 6.1, more finger recognition and everything, nothing to be to excitied about at this time.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

i have used the rom conflipper put out and did a little play with it in the kitchen and its pretty fast without any hicups so far.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

you have storage card issues with this rom aleast i do any one else, never mind got the storage card fixed.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

As for the previous "legal" advise... I wouldn't be so sure MS would get mad about this at all. Who do you think most likely leaked it?

I'm currently testing Windows 7 Beta, (NOT WinMo 7) and I did await the "official" release. However a leaked version mysteriously appeared online about 3-4 months before it was put up by MS on TechNet. Word on the internet was that MS leaked it on purpose to take advantage of the work and debugging that was done for them for FREE by developers all around the world.

Same thing most likely applies here. It was leaked by someone... most likely to be MS since that would be where it got it's beginning, and has been until it leaked.

Why not dump it out on the internet? Let the guys at PPCGeeks, XDA, and the like, fix and debug the thing and repost? Cut's out a lot of cost, and a lot of paid man-hours at MS to let people here do the work.

Maybe, just maybe, MS knows EXACTLY what they're doing... dropping the project in the hands of people that are in some cases, more educated than the developers that work for them. Anyone agree on this? :)

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

They should hire no2. :p

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

Crazychef, are you serious? MS does not, and has never sold a ROM. If you own a device, they don't give a **** what OS you are running, PPCGeeks exists almost solely as a portal for custom roms. Just about every ROM I can remember having been leaked has been ported to our devices by PPCGeeks modders, and MS has never cared. They don't sell their mobile OS, its going to be released as a free update, if released at all.

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

No doubt. He's way ahead of the MS curve. Of course there are several other SUPER talented developers here, at XDA, and ppckitchen.org. If MS would hire the whole lot, we'd have new roms monthly. :)

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

It's not up to MS to give the minor updates, it's the carrier's responsibility. If it wasn't for these communities, I would still be stuck with WM 6.0 and a radio with flaky bluetooth and no GPS. Bell Mobility has done very minimal upgrading maintenance of the existing lines. BM and the parents motto, "if you want the new OS or feature, buy the newer model."

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

like is there gunna be some major jumps in the ui of this rom or is it just gunna be a better version of 6.1?

Re: Will the Mogul get WM 6.5?
 

I made a ROM from the posted kitchen last night... 20MB free RAM at boot AFTER I turned off TouchFlo 2D. OUCH.

The new PIE looks awesome... too bad the Mogul runs out of memory. It definitely seems faster than Opera Mobile, especially scrolling, but it runs out of memory wicked fast as soon as you visit a page with flash - locked my phone up three times before I gave up on it.
