If you want it to link to your statistics, you can just enable the "Change Browse Kobo home screen link target" patch, it is already set up to change that tile's link to the Activity page. From the commented section above that patch, I think it should be possible to set it to something else, but as it says, "the easy options for this patch are fairly limited", so I didn't try to do something different since the default setting was already good for me.

"Rename new home screen footer" is only needed to change the tile's description, otherwise if you just apply the other patch, you would have a tile that links to the Activity page, but is still saying "Find your next book in Kobo Plus or our store". Worth mentioning that in the commented section it says that changing that string could cause issues in other parts of the GUI, but as far as I can say it worked alright for me on the latest firmware.

About the buttons in the bottom bar, with NickelMenu you can add a new one, and I think it is possible to remove at least some of them, but I don't know if it's possible to edit the existing ones. They don't bother me so I didn't even look for a way to do that.

On the second row tiles, I'm still stuck with that useless tile with the Pocket articles, so if anyone has a solution for that it would really be appreciated, it's the last thing missing for me to have my desired homescreen
