So I just got my Mogul, and trying to find software for it is really annoying. no list of programs with screen shots, each program type has about 40 different homebrewed versions, most of the stuff doesn;t have a lonk to download anything, no homepage reference so you don't know if you're downloaded a version 4 versions older than the current, piss poor instructions on howw to actually use it, etc.
Is there an actual list of software links, that is updated with the most recent verion, of sotware for this phone? For example, I'm interested in adding that "Cube" menuing system, and doing a Google search returns 50 different versions of 20 different pieces of software linking to pages with older versions of the software that doesn't even work.
Is there a commonly accepted "best" cube type mening system out there? how about a commonly accepted "best" iPhone like interface?

Um, there are literally THOUSANDS of programs that work on the Titan. It doesnt take a lot of work searching to find programs that are awesome. Try using the search feature of this website or ppcgeeks to find what you need instead of asking someone to deliver it to you.
Searching is your best answer. Making a list of the most currnet builds out there (some of which the most current isn't the "best") of software out there would be obselete in a months time. I've got the best results with trial and error in finding what works with my setup (hardware, rom and radio).
Thousands? I've downloaded about 20, and TWO work. the rest do NOTHING, due to obscure compatability problems, some random patch being required that no one seems to have, or it just flat out won't work, period. It;s incredibly frustrating.
Most have said it. You need to do your own research and on top of that what's good for you may not be good for someone else. In a way this is the fun part - the searching for the good stuff. Also, I take much advise from the experts on this and other forums.
In any case, you can't *****. The source of this software is coming from thousands of people/companies. Some write something good and just dump it on a server for others to download and offer little to no documentation. BUT... you pay nothing in many cases (can't ***** there). ANd it's almost always "run at your own risk!".
Want something stable, documented, and supported by a company... stay stock (OEM). Wait... my stock software was not stable, not well documented, and hardly supported (Sprint). As a matter of fact an alpha ROM I am running now is much better than the OEM software that the phone came with.
Willing alpha and beta tester,

Mogul w/ 6.1, 3.16, 3.27, 60711, NexVision Alpha ROM.
YMMV
make sure you are downloading ppc applications and not smartphone ones, and that you are downloading applications for WM6. If the app doesn't work then search the forums to see what other peoples experience is with that program.
while some of the responses here have been a little abrupt, you need to understand that your request is literally impossible. Nobody could possibly compile of a list of all the software that can run on the mogul.
Here are some things to try, though:
Search the forums for "best programs" and such things
Download different windows mobile apps and try them -- I've rarely found any that don't work.
Figure out what functionality you're looking for, and search specifically for that.
At the very least, if you want to post a query such as this one, you need to specify what exactly you're looking for. Our friend above wasn't exagerating when he said that there are thousands of apps that run on the mogul. If you're new to windows mobile, it'll take some getting used to. Be patient and read a lot. you'll figure it out.
Most people on this board are happy to help you with problems, but they do expect that you exert some energy on your own. If they feel like you haven't, they get touchy.
This thread might become a little more useful for you if you were to say what you are looking for (for example, if you're looking for a good program for maps and such that uses a data connection, I recommend Google Maps (visit http://m.google.com from your mobile phone)
Hope this helps, and good luck!
id say VITO SMS CHAT v1.0.1 is almost a must have if u text alot and have a stock ROM...most the custom ROMS have some form of threaded SMS added for u...but stock ROMS dont and this is a very nice program...i dont use this site much, but im on ppcgeeks 24/7 and i know we have a thread about it there...
also if ur looking for a nice web browser check out netfront browser 3.5 is pretty quick and it loads full websites not just the mobile version...and if u use myspace it actually loads the persons page background...its in beta now till may 31st, but if u search hard enough u can find ANY ppc program for free
I tried searching for a while now. After a failed ROM update I lost all my apps so I am re-customizing everything. How do you change the Title on the Home page? Right now it says: 'TELUS' but that's a little tacky. Can someone guide me to the right post?
Titan Apps
I have quite a few apps that I have been collecting would be happy to contribute to the list let me know...also in the development and hacking section there is a huge list of HTC apps that are pretty much always a go on the Titan.
I am new to this site.. I have a moguel.. and I would love to know what programs u have..please contact me at [email protected] with the info..please and thank u.

i'm a noob as well but i read a bunch.thing is there are terms and titles that make reading these threads as bad as reading the bible at times.i tried a bunch of stuff since i had my mogul.i removed a bunch of stuff as well.but right now i use spb mobile shell,pocket plus,fun contact,s2play,s2u2,weather panel<-------- wich is cool as hell but takes a bunch of tweaking imo to get to run right.(still haven't got my radar images right)gpstoday,thumbcal,and a bunch of games.i'm not an expert by far but i know these apps work fine on my device.
this is pretty confusing but this is the index i use to keep track of all the apps that both work and are user-friendly(to an extent).
its kind of hard to understand of you havent written it but what ever
if you have any questions feel free to ask.
EDIT:btw i have all of these stored. (as in .cabs, .exes....)

By the way, the cube isn't all its made out to be. TouchFLO is worth it, but I find myself constantly bringing up the cube on accident, not to mention that its stays in the background after launching. (eating up 8-9% of memory) It's nice to play with, and its great for showing off the capabilities of the phone but in the end, for me, it just wasn't worth it.
Then again, to each their own. Truly, TRY programs out. People like different things so you can't always trust a stranger to give you accurate advice.
I was once a "noob," having switched from Palm to come over to the "dark side" (remind me of the Mac vs PC thing). I have the VZW XV6800 with DCD's 2.3.2 rom onboard. I have thrashed and trashed my poor PPC many times before getting it stable the way I want. I have the following recommendations to all "noobs" who want to see "what works and what doesn't."
1) Don't fear the hard reset. If things go completely screwy, simply start from scratch. I store all my cab files on the card for this purpose. BTW, I have never needed to call Verizon after a hard reset. I simply *228 to program the SPL and "everyting is irie mon."
2) Make every effort to find the answer yourself before posting a question anywhere. You are likely not the first person to have whatever problem you think you have. To coin a phrase, "the truth is out there." If you don't have the time to search for the answer, you probably shouldn't be putsing (a technical term) with your phone. Check here and over at PPCGeeks.
3) Figure out which base application you cannot live without. ake sure that each works with the other by soft resetting after each install and working the phone a bit before loading another. My base for instance is: SPB Mobile Shell 2; PhoneWeaver; WisBar Advance; Live Search; Google Maps; Opera Mini 4; Resco Backup; Resco file Explorer; and SK Tools. I know they work well, and work together. I always load these first after a hard reset.
4) Get a good backup program (Sprite, SPB Backup, Resco), and use it daily or at least before each new testing round.
5) Backup your registry and save the backup in a safe place (card) in case.
6) Test new applications one at a time, with soft reset after each installation. Do not load another new app, until you are sure that you're happy with the previoous one or have fully uninstalled it.
7) Have fun! Be happy! Don't forget that it's just a damned phone with benefits.
those are some nice tips for someone who is new jgilfor. do you mind if i quoted you in my sig or something? (pm me)
warez i use
After going through this thread, i decided to add the apps i run to my sig. When i get home i'll add some more.
I don't know if it's a good idea or not but maybe i could throw up a page with links to the software? Unless i can upload them all here.
What do you vets think?
It's probably a better request to ask for the programs that each person uses. That's more useful than trying to get a list of every single program out there. With a program name and some patience, then you should be able to find the right install file. If not, then this phone was probably not meant for you, sorry. =( Maybe a Nokia? lol, j/k!
Anyways, I like GhettoBSD's idea! I keep a list of programs that I use so that I know what to reinstall after a ROM flash:
Nilisco Flashlight
HTC Voice Recorder
HTC Home and emunutz HTC Home Customizer
HTC Audio Manager
Skunkworks FlashVideoBundle and TCPMP
Lordsmiff Battery Level
Jorrit Jongma WMWifiRouter
JRebeiro EsmertecJbed and Opera Mini
Stroths-Codyppc Led Killer 3.1
Oxios Memory
CooTek Cooperation Touchpal
GoogleMaps
PPCpimBackup
TomCo Solutions Stopwatch
Do you have a link for the HTC voice recorder that works with Mogul, I tried some but are not working. Cab installs the application, but when trying to record, always get an empty fie of 6b. No matter how long I record always have an empty file named voice00x with size of 6b. Or whay Im doing wrong? I installed the same file in a tytn and works perfect.
Here is what i use
Opera mini (great little browser)
DinarSoft MemMaid ( cleans out junk and temp/ frees memory too)
DinarSoft Handyswitcher (awesome taskbar app with cpu /memory usage that can be on top toolbar in every ap)
Shape Services IM+ ( great instant messanging app )
PPC geeks battery and performance reg hack
acbPowerMeter ( shows how much power apps consume, good for measuring 3g versus no internet use )
Blue Frog Touch Dialer, (htc diamond style dialer , skinable , bigger button layout very cool )
Led Killer 3.1 ( disables annoying flashing green service led )
HTC home plugin schen 2.10 ( nice gui mod, for weather and apps)
Youtubeplay
Total Commander
lokmeup IE Slow Scroll Fix
Google maps
Cloudyfa EsmertecJbed ( java)
PocketCM keyboard
RARLab pocket rar
Sipchange ( change keyboard tool )
someguy sMMS ( adds ability to send picture sms , providing you get your key from the sprint website)
PocketIRC ( mirc application)
Oxios memory ( free tool to free up unused memory)
TRE Pocket PC (free registry editor)
I have created different folders to store different pictures. But on this X1, when want to browse the pictures, it will show all of them in one place. It is not like the Touch HD, I get to choose from my storage card and select the folder name for my pictures. Does anyone know the trick ?

I'm having exactly the same issue and and looking for a solution.
quick solution : use another viewer software, or the default windows viewer.
Is there another viewer software, wich running without bugs or lagging?
It should offer the sliding switch function like the iphone or the standard viewer from X1. I mean the picture switch without pressing a button - just sliding with your finger over the display..
Thanksss
Resco photo viewer is the best one out there, not sure if its touch friendly though
Hello everyone, I'm new to the Windows Mobile OS and had a few questions on it. I just picked up an HTC HD2 and I am LOVING this guy more and more since I found this site. I had a lot of fun customizing my iPhone, but I've been having a little trouble with my HD2. Here is what I was looking for:
1. Whenever I look into the Photos & Videos every photo and video on the device is show in the album. Is there a way to hide certain photos or folders so they don't show?
2. I have a set of videos I placed into one folder. Whenever I look into the folder, the videos all show as thumbnails. Is there a way to set it so I see the names of the videos and not the thumbs?
3. The T-MoUS version, has Transformers pre-installed. When I click Start, it has a Transformers icon that when selected, it opens a window with both movies lined up in a list type format. I found the Transformers.exe in the windows folder. Is there a way to create your own? (Kinda the same as question 2)
4. Can the "honeycomb" menu that shows when you click start, have the icons moved around freely? The only thing I've found is you hold an icon and you get the option to "Move to Top". I want to move them anywhere and not have to keep moving everything to top if I want something on the third row from the bottom.
Sorry for the long winded questions... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
V-
PS-I tried using Search for these answers, but could not get anything.
you could move your pictures to a different folder...
I think you have to update to the version of WM where there start button is on bottom left not the top, (so changing ROM), although you can re-arrange using JWMD apps (icon changer) its on here.
use total commander to create shortcuts its nice & easy (google is your friend to download)
i use file explorer to view my file names
hope some of this helps
Is there a way to set the album cover for photos? I have a folder that has lots of photos. The one on the front is not the one I want showing.
When I put videos on my phone, they don't show up in the Albums for the HTC Sense. They show up in the WinMo Library. So how do I manually add a folder to the HTC Sense Library?
Also some of the game and windows files show up in the HTC Library. I'd like to remove them from it.
Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I just got my hands on the HTC Touch2 Non-Camera version which is the same as HTC Touch2 with camera and is exclusively for Singapore Market only due to me working in a military enviroment. This is my 1st ever touch screen phone. I have a few questions that I would like to ask:
1. Is there any way that I can remove some of the tabs on the Home Screen Tabs Bar? If yes, can I do it within the phone itself or do I have to install a 3rd party software to my phone to achieve this?
2. If I have to use a 3rd party software to remove some of the tabs on the Home Screen Tabs Bar, which 3rd party software would be the most user friendly and easy to use that you guys would recommend?
3. Can I Add new tabs (e.g phone book) to the Home Screen Tabs Bar?
4. Also, can I create different ringing profiles for different enviroment and select them easily? For e.g:
i) In a meeting, I would like my phone to vibrate only for all calls, SMS etc.
ii) In a exam, I would like my phone not to vibrate or ring at all.
I remembered Nokia phones are able to create different profiles for different enviroments and I just need to activate them with just a few buttons pressed.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone able to help?

Hi fellow Singaporean!
There's a sound mode called "Automatic" that allows you to set ur Mega to Vibrate during appointments u create in calender, but normal otherwise. If you need your phone to be silent during a certain part of every day, create an event in calender and set it to repeat every day at the selected timing.
For the tabs thing, use M2DC. It's very user friendly. You can add/delete tabs and even modify the entire TouchFlo through themes and other tweaks.
Hope to be of help
hi... i just googled and found out m2dc is manila 2d customizer, but how do i go about using it? doesnt seem to have any official site providing this software/whatever it is supposed to be... this is my first windows mobile phone... i'm also wondering how i can customize what appears on the bottom bar... pls assist!
btw, sorry to hijack this thread, but i'm wondering how i can also backup my phone... what software do i have to use, etc... too used to nokia providing me with the pc suite for their phones... htc.. none?!

OK, M2DC, like many other apps around, do NOT have any official website, but they usually have an official thread on this forums. Just download and install M2DC(copy the cab to your phone and open it) It should appear in the start menu. Just play around with it. About the backup thing, if you have outlook you can use ActiveSync(XP) or WM Device Centre(Vista/7) to sync ur phone with outlook. Also, use Microsoft MyPhone to backup your phone. You should have Microsoft MyPhone reinstalled.
thanks for the reply! does that mean that there is no such thing as a "Full backup" that includes all the os settings etc?
I know of something called PIM Backup or something but I never really tried it. MyPhone will backup contacts, messages and documents/pictures/video. That's good enough for me.
Hello,
PIM manager is personal information manager to backup & restore your contacts, messages, calendar, etc...
It's a must to have program works very easily and smoothly on all WM versions.
For a full backup, you can use SKTools. It has many many functions among them is backup that can backup whatever you want including full system even SD Card if you like.
Best of wishes.
