Alright, I've been searching aimlessly around this site and other for hours now, waisting my time because I have NO clue what I'm looking for. Please bear with me and help if you wouldn't mind. I'm sure you get these questions all the time, I just don't know my terminology therefore making it hard to search and what not.

I just upgraded from a 6700 to a Mogul (6800). I guess this is also known as the Titan? My friend helped me out with my 6700 and we used a kitchen program to put a new OS on the phone. It looked something like this:

I've seen the thread with all the screen shots, and thats all fine and dandy, but I can't figure out how to even get that operating system home page on the phone!! I love the way that it has the weather and time and top 9 people set up. That would be awesome to have!

Also, I installed this "yellow cube" on my phone because it seemed like it had this operating system, but it doesn't seem to be working properly. I know I'm probably overlooking or missing one key thing here thats throwing me off...

Cliff notes: How do I get my home screen to look like that above? Maybe you have some software suggestions for me considering I have nothing on my phone yet? Also, I had this "touch" program that allowed for touch scrolling on my old phone - that was a cool feature that I'd like to have back if I could.

Thanks in advance!

basically..most of the 6700 cabs and files work for the 6800 with a few exceptions. try doing all the same things on this phone as the other.

Really?

Thats the exact one I used, and it says specifically that its not compatible with the 6800/mogul

Where else can I find these cabs?

Also, my phone says it has the ROM version 2.09.651.3 I'm reading that there are updates, but also reading that some of them suck? Which one do I want? Stick with the one I have?

If anyone knows what they're doing and has some free time and wants to help me via AIM, I can paypal you whatever you feel your time is worth.

You dont need to install a "new operating system" to get that look, search for HTC Home, and HTC Home Customizer. They are Today screen plug-ins that sit on TOP of the operating system and will give you exactly the look you want. You WILL need to find the black HTC background (which is just a Today 'theme').

Good Luck
