I'd like to add some views and various things to user profiles. Advanced profile kit would be the obvious solution to this, but it's not recommended for production and I want to go live as soon as possible. So, I need to just have panels overtake the user profile page(leaving the local tasks of course).
Is this possible without advanced profile kit? Maybe panel node? ... Could really use some help on this one.
Thanks for reading.

So many people don't understand what APK is... APK doesn't take over the user profile page. That's a function of CTools (delegator module) and Panels. All APK does is give you a default variant to start you out. So you can do the same thing without APK. You just need to make the page variant yourself.

<_< I hate to sound like a lost puppy but how do I overtake a page with panels then? Is it related to the path?
could I just set the panel page path to 'user' or something?
EDIT: Nevermind found some docs for this. If anybody else is wondering I think http://drupal.org/node/206185 provides the solution. Not totally sure yet, just found & reading.

That's for Panels 2. Directions for Panels 2 are going to be different than for Panels 3 because a lot have changed. Panels doesn't even handle the overrides anymore; it's CTools.
Just go to admin/build/pages and then go to the "operations" dropdown on user view and choose "task handlers" then add a new handler of type Panel. Then go thru the instructions to configure it.

Ok, so I finally found how to utilize the existing system pages provided by panels, but It seems like I can't add individual profile fields(not using content profile) to a column, only the full profile node. Is there no way to individually select these fields? My profile needs are pretty simple when it comes to fields so I don't feel very keen on adding yet another module to the many i already have, especially one that doesn't automatically generate profiles(maybe im mistaken here?) like the core profile does. Is it really necessary to install content profile just to arrange profile fields individually in a panel page?

Sure there is. Just click on the "content" category and choose your field / fieldset to add.
