Need some help with new phone

[dood56]

I just got my Mogul about a week ago and I am ready to start upgrading it. However, I don't feel comfortable flashing to a new ROM because I am just not that comupter savvy. I saw on several threads that a good app to put on is HTC Home Today, but does this require a custom ROM? Also, I am not sure where to find it. Additionally, I saw someone recommend Skyfire, but is it better than Explorer? Do I have to remove Explorer when I put it on? I know alot of this is personal preferences, but these are two apps that seem cool. I really love the phone, but I just need some help making it a little better. I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
