>how do i place anything everywhere on the homescreen?

you need to edit home.xml from your theme. its placed in /opt/etc/themes/theme_name_here/home.xml

sample for battery:

<text rect="0,0,40x0" align="hcenter" name="power" bold="yes" transient="yes" color="#ffffff" outline="#000000" active=
"yes">
          expr:@/Hardware/EZX/Battery/Raw
        </text>

here /Hardware/EZX/Battery/Raw is VSO ( valuespace object ) path.


sample for cpu clock (title.xml):

<text rect="13.66%,0,25x0"  outline="#000000" color="#FFFFFF" bold="yes" align="hcenter,vcenter" size="5">
        expr:@/Hardware/EZX/APM/CPU/Clock
      </text>

you can see available paths using command vsexplorer -d

it`s not very comfortable to edit files from phone, but you can. another way is to use some ssh or sftp client from big computer (it is not necessarily to use linux).
