Re: Step by Step tutorial for unlocking your device and cooking your own ROM!!!

Hi, I'm able to cook and flash my sprint htc mogul however I would like to know what options anyone would recommend for the following scenarios. I already cooked and burned twice and although I solved a problem here and there others continue to pop up.

1. First, i'm choosing WM 6.5 but it's kinda slow on my phone. I picked the fastest compression suggested on the forums. Would it make a difference if I picked no compression? How about if I picked WM 6.1?? Here are my phone's specs:

ROM VERSION: 3.08.666.1
RADIO version: 3.42.02
CPU: QUALCOM(R)7500
Speed: 400 MHz
RAM Size: 64 MB
Flash size: 256MB
Transcend Micro SD Card: 8 GB

--->can I try over clocking my phone? I noticed the warning on the cooking software that said the over clocking only works on Apache so I didnt try it on my phone.
2. Which app will give me a minimized TODAY on my phone, exactly or similar to the default sprint? I used to have about 5-6 items. In particular, I really really really need to see my up and coming meetings on my calendar, e-mail notification and from what e-mail account. I dont need any fancy GUI.

3. I don't touch the screen much at all. I know a lot of you guys are going to kill me for this but I like to keep things simple. I use the keys to open the "Start Menu" on the phone then I scroll down to the application that I want. There's a few applications that I use very often and they are always on the "Start Menu", on WM 6.5 there is no start menu! I click on the windows key that's supposed to send me to the start menu but instead it sends me to the list of applications -- android style! I don't need to see an icon to know what app I want -- is there a setting or app that can give me a start menu WM 6.1 style? That way I dont have to scroll up and down my phone??

3. I know I dont use the touch screen much for anything else except for... TYPING!!! I got used to the software keyboard on 6.1 and worked like a charm! I NEVER used the hardware QWERTY keyboard in WM 6.1 because the keyboard was human friendly and worked excellent with my fingers which I used most of the time and no problems with the stylus. The keyboard in WM 6.5 is much too small!! I cant even type with the thing even with the stylus!!!! I already tried two different keyboards but before I cook and burn again I would like some input from seasoned veterans!

4. Last but not least, is it possible to save a text file that spits out a human friendly log of the choices that you picked so that if you want to cook again you know what choices you picked?
