Re: As n00b as a n00b can be.
This is the answer to your question. You have to read. There is no one simple explanation that can help you. Everybody here started off not knowing how a PPC Device worked. You just need to jump into and play around. I recommend reading as much as you can.

Re: As n00b as a n00b can be.
Unfortunately that was what I was talking about earlier. I spend 8 hours at work a day then turn around and spend 8 in the studio, then I guess sleeping has become somewhat of a necessity. I don't need anybody to type out pages of how to do stuff, but I don't really have the time to do more research then I already have. Links to pages that would help would be nice.

Re: As n00b as a n00b can be.
1. in order to make tweaks you will need a registry editor. there are 2 good ones i can think of off the top of my head. phm registry editor and total commander. do a search and you should find a cab for them. if not ill post one later tonight.
2. the theme im making will be easy to install. ill just put it in a .zip file and all you'll have to do is unzip it to your /windows folder. 3. most battery tweaks are spread out over the forum, the best way to find them is by searching. or alternatively you can load a custom rom which has all the tweaks included (see the diamond upgrade forum stickies to find out more about this) as for what a .cab file is...basically you save the file onto your device, for example i save mine in "internal storage/cabs" (you can store them where ever you want). then after it is saved use the "file explorer" (its in the programs menu) to navigate to where you stored it. when you see the file just click on it and the .cab will do whatever it was designed to do. some .cab files install programs, some just make registery changes, some install files to your phone, etc. but they are mostly used for installing applications |

Re: As n00b as a n00b can be.
i finished drawing out the icons, ill try to post a mock up of what my idea is tomorrow (cause actally convering the images to manilla files, then putting the manilla files on my phone to take screen shots is a long and tedious process)...once we have a mock up you like then ill go ahead and convert all the images and package it up for you (converting the files usually takes a day to do)
