New to Android..

[MzPisces87]

Just recently purchased an Android (Evo of course).. Cant wait to get home and open it up and play with it.. I don't see a forum for users just starting off with it like I did the TP2.. So what are somethings I should know about getting the best performance out of it.. Best Apps, How to get better battery life.. Fun ways to customize it without having to completely "root" it as ya'll say or void my warranty..

I like the TP2 cause I could customize it and Hello kitty/pink it out through and through.. Is there a way I can do so with this.. Or atleast change the clock and menu...
