Re: [Resolved] Been trying to adapt my theme to buddypress and I dont understand I need some help!!!
I’d write it from scratch, but then I’m not into themes 
You only need to copy the element I showed you need make no decsions as to what to call things, the idea is that your chosen theme already has a particular html structure and associated styles, the BP files, however will be using something different, the BP files must fit the structure your theme dictates.
This isn’t about changing your theme layout it’s about ensuring that BP files / pages do not break the layout due to a different html markup structure which would create issues simply in structure terms but that also will not be able to pick up the styles from your theme due to different class / ID tokens.
If you are actually wanting to change the layout look of your theme that is something different altogether and a step too far at this stage.
