Starting Out..

[inexplicableromance]

Okay so my AT&T Tilt is coming in later this week, and I'd like to learn how to customize it (change the today screen). I've been looking through a lot of websites / threads here in this forum, but I'm still confused as to how everything works.

So I would like to turn my today screen into the same exact one that's displayed here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ATOM_USER_THEMES

And I would like to ask, is that the same one that's displayed here, but just with different icons?: http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/phone-edition-general/12389-newest-6-button-htc-home-plugin-customisation-pack-cab-files-all-devices-14-10-a.html#post147780

So basically I'm asking for step-by-step instructions on what to download+install first. ^^; So according to the 2nd link I posted above-- I should install the 'Schen's 6 Button HTC Home today screen plugin' first, then install the 'Customization plugin', and then voila I can go and change all the icons and such just like in the image below, and that's all? (Because if it's that simple, what's with all the stuff here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533 and what is the KaiserTweak program for?)

Two more questions:
1) When the instructions say 'install it to your device', where exactly do I install it into? Do I create a new folder/directory?
2) How do I "soft reset" ?

I need clarification. Thanks!

Thats HTC Home with Htc Home Customizer fairly straightforward stuff which you'll learn when you get your device.

Anyhow, I believe this is the best forum to learn how to customize and improve your device.

If I were you I'd start reading the link below and once you get your device you'll figure out how to install applications.

read the wiki first....it'll solve a lot of inquiries...for me at least when i first started out

in regards to ur question...it installs to the phone's onboard memory and it will create a folder...for me its in my device>program files

second answer: soft reset is when u use ur stylus and poke thru the hole at the bottom of the phone
