Tilt home screen modding question

Hey everyone, so I don't yet have a tilt but am going to purchase one tomorrow.
I've been doing some research into ROMs and general customizing for the tilt and have been a bit overwhelmed with all the information so please bare with me.
Do I need to do ROM flashing if I just want to change the home screen? I have a seen some cool ones that resemble the iPhone and other sleek looking home screens that I would like to add. Also, if someone wouldn't mind explaining what a cab is and how it relates to the ROM exactly I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

ROM = The OS (Operating System) i.e. Windows Mobile 6
Cab = Installation package for Software. Can also be used for registry tweaks.
You do not need to flash a Rom just to change your Today Screen (Home Screen is what they call it on Smartphones {lack touchscreen]).

Okay, very cool, thank you for the quick response.

Hi:
That is a great thread to start seeing some of the MANY options available for your Today screen. In that post people post their Today screen pics, and most people will say what programs etc. they use to create their screens. If you see one you like, and it doesn't say how they made it, you can always ask them, most people will be very helpful.

Here are some other good threads to look at for inspiration to design your own Today screen:

OOPS! I meant to post the first link you posted. What I mean, is that my link was supposed to be to the same thread you mentioned, but I messed it up, lol. I guess I should double check links before posting them, lol.

welcome to the RT club. I was happy I was able to change my HP TouchPad to Android. But it now belongs to my son, while I am a happy user of the Surface RT. Hope you keep enjoying it.
cheers

Yup, welcome... but there are many problems, so if you need help with anything, just ask. ?

[Q] Looking for a (cheap!) 10.1" Tablet

Hi all,
I'm hoping the combined wisdom of XDA members can help me choose a 10.1" tablet. I've already got three 7" ones, but I want something larger for reading comic books and watching the odd video.
I've been looking at this: (blast! I can't post links! It's the V100Q on Focalprice) but I can't find any info on it, other than a thousand and one other shops selling it! It looks like it'll suit me fine, and the price is great, but if there's no support for it, it might be too much of a punt.
I've also found this: (Ainol Hero 2) which is more expensive, but there's a lot of support out there for it.
I'm also a little worried about forward compatibility; I don't want to buy something today, only to find out tomorrow's update isn't supported! I read on another forum that [speculation] future Android versions will only work on quad-core devices [/speculation]. Doesn't sound right to me, but I'm not really "in the know".
So, which of the above do you guys think is best to go for? Or do you have any recommendations?
Cheers!
Ex.
P.S Not sure this is the right place for this topic, so please move if it's wrong.

Help on becoming a Samsung Developer

Hello everyone! Just wanted to start off by saying thanks to all of you who are taking the time to read this. I am coming to you guys because I feel as if I will be able to obtain some assistance.
So I have noticed that the themes on the s6 edge are a bit...mediocre. I myself am by no means an expert, but from what I have gathered I know that the software used to create the themes are in no way difficult to use. I tried becoming a developer but it seems that I need to submit previous design works [of which I have none] so Im wondering if anyone here has any idea how I can create something for them. Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated!
