First time PPC owner. Where to start?

Hi everyone,

I've never really been into PPC's or PDA's before and after playing around with my TP for a day it's pretty overwhelming. I was looking through the essentials thread and the FAQ thread and I really had no idea what was going on. For example, I wanted to do the "Disable SMS Sent Notification" tweak but I didn't even know where to find that (pretty embarassing since it seems so easy). Thanks for any help.

honestly it is ALOT of information at once. just play with your phone for a few days, learn were the shortcuts to things are, find out what it does and doesnt do well for your taste, then start reading. just worry about one tweak at a time untill the threads seem less scifi and more practical. also you need to learn how to use a registry editor if you havent before. its just like classic regedit on the pc. once you can navigate the registery easily things will get a whole lot clearer. (be careful not to edit things accidently though because it can mess things up and cause you to have to hard reset and lose saved data)

need to download a registry program for ur phone... there should be a few around. once installed, the directions should be a bit easier. it will take some time to get used to everything you can do with a PDA phone, but once you get the hang of it, you will never want to go to another phone again.

Thanks for the quick responses. I did a quick search for a registry editor and I just wanted to make sure if this was the right one.
