Whats the first things you did when you got your mogul.
 

Hello everybody,

I am new here. I just upgraded to the HTC Mogul from my Treo 700p that I had for 2 years. Its quite a bit different... lol

I am curious what is the first thing you guys did when you get your mogul?
What is the most popular rom out? Or what would you recommend for somebody that is technically inclined, but is just overwhelmed by the amount of information out there and the amount of different roms available.

I just got my mogul about an hour ago, currently its running stock rom 2.17.651.0 dated 11/18/07.

I do appreciate your feedback! Thanks again!

I would recommend to upgrade to the 3.35 for the sake of Rev A and GPS. Then after that its free game as far as what programs you want to install. Everyone is different, with their likes/dislikes. Dont forget to search just to read different opinions about software,programs,rom installation, etc. Have fun with this beast.

Being active in the forums is by far the best thing to do when starting your journey to 6800 jedi master status. :)
I suggest:
upgrading rom to 3.35
installing the flash video bundle
installing a gps app
setting up preferences in the phone. (clear type, screen brightness, camera settings, caller id, etc.)
setting up bookmarks in PIE
installing htc home today screen plugin
find a cool theme ( i suggest allblack.tsk)
test evdo speed at dslreports
setup adhoc network with wmwifirouter
turn off incoming beams
setup email pop or hotmail
participate in the forums!

Welcome aboard!

:)

You guys rock! That is exactly what I was looking for.
I picked up my mogul on my lunch break, once I get home and I can hook it up I gonna see what this beast is capable of. I can't wait to test out the GPS with google maps. And wmwifirouter is going to be awesome to use at work. Time to start brining my laptop in! Thanks again guys!

First thing I did was put in the battery and turned it on :mrgreen:

First thing I did, honestly, was get pissed, because it was so much more complicated to get simple things done in Windows Mobile. (I'm coming from a Palm OS Treo 650. (Palm IIIc+Palm M100, RIP, lol)

I am very happy with EVDO (3G), and the ability to stream music and video (though you can do that with palm too, just not out of the box like with the Mogul). I'm happy with the GPS as well.

But honestly I was frustrated up until I read this article by HobbesIsReal 5 minutes ago, lol!

I would suggest installing HTC Home (In place of SPB Mobile Shell), HTC Home Customizer, Q Menu (In place of Wisbar), Oxios Memory, MemMaid (the only pay app I'll suggest). After that, customize your buttons, and set up your HTC Home and Q Menu.

With that, you can get to things as fast as on a Palm!

And now I'm VERY happy with my Mogul! Granted , the OS is not as snappy as a Palm (probably has to do with the memory), but this phone still rocks!
