Just getting started

[spigen]

well I've just order this phone and wondering where to start.

First how to modify? I was reading something about codes?

Second the what kind of software updates, performance mods.

Third cosmetic stuff.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, possible a list of stuff you guys would do to your touch out of the box.

Read everything you can get your hands on here and the other forums ... then read some more before you do any updates ... then do it really slow ... ad a few things then test ... add a few more ... test some more ... once you figure out what you will use and what you won't ... read some more before you ever consider flashing a rom ... just my two cents

yeah thats what i planned on attempting, but there is sooooo much info on these subjects, and it seems like you just get taken to another tread to another tread.

-so i guess if someone could give me a good first and second step of stuff to do. I think by then can handle it.

examples:
-does the touch come with windows pro. 6.1 straight out of the box or does it need to be upgraded?

-what about the Rev A upgrade I have been reading out?

-Then I was reading somewhere else or possible on a youtube video, a guy adding some software to make it run more efficiently.

so yup just some basic questions if guys could help out, thanks.

touch has 6.0. can be upgraded. for how to: look here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17473
there are plenty of 6.1 roms out there both here on xda and over at ppcgeeks.

become a member of ppcgeeks.com if you are not already, that is whats really going to help you. that is also where the youtube thing is. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6623&highlight=youtube

rev a upgrade seems to not be coming out for the touch for at least another few months, but ppl will be going crazy enough that when it does, you will know for sure.

feel free to ask more questions :)
but the best thing you can do is to READ READ READ (and that is what everyone will tell you too lol (well mostly)).

good luck!
