I know it's a long conversation - I have spent countless time searching the internet for solutions, but everyone has their own way of doing it, and no one ever really explains it at a level I can understand...without spending days playing around with stuff.
Basically, I have a today screen cab that I converted to install with the kitchen, but now I want it to be selected by default when the rom is flashed.
I'd also like to add a custom splash screen (I know that should be covered somewhere else, but since I'm asking questions, I thought I'd throw it in). And settings like ring tones and such.
EDIT: I just stumbled on this:

Looks like this should do the trick. Let me know if you have any tips in addition to that.
EDIT #2: It only tells me how to copy files around. It doesn't tell me how to select the today screen I want by default.
