Any websites or any tweaks or whatnot I could do?
Any advice for a noob?
I assume you’re using a Nexus 4.
Here’s the guidebook for the device that’ll take you through what you need to know.

Here’s the support site for the Nexus line of device where you can get additional information (and more if you’re on a different Nexus device).

Man, how the hell did you know?
Thank you though!
One question, how do I install pirated apps?
that’s easy, go to settings > apps > allow untrusted sources. tick that box and you’re done ^^ No need to jailbreak (on android this is called “rooting”) like with an iphone. A simple checkbox and you’re done. But tbh, just explore the phone and it’s menu’s. Android is pretty intuitive and you’ll be buzzing away with it in no time at all.
How do I install apk’s? Do I just like, drag it somehow?
that’s just as easy. Hook up the phone to your computer in “hard drive” mode & copy over the apk. Then using any file manager like “Astro File manager” https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro
browse to the apk. Hold it selected & press install Another tool i recommend and use alongside astro is “WiFi File Transfer Pro”. That last one has the power to transfer files and entire folders over WiFi to your phone and is capable of launching the install from your webbrowser.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransferpro
also use ES File Explorer….excellent stuff
Also how the god damn hell do I change the background?
settings > personalise. You keep asking questions, however you havent said if you managed to find/do the other stuff you asked
To get pirated apks, try googling mobilism. download the apks to your computer and transfer it to your phone using usb cable. then run it in your phone by browsing it from “my files” icon.

I’m also a newbie to an Android tablet and I must say all your answers have helped me a lot here. Thank you very much.
airdroid is a far better tool and lets you tack phone and access/use all if it via wifi
