adamos theme

I’ve been trying to set up adamos theme on WP3.7.1. I’d like to make a homepage with main featured text(the center one), featured text boxes(the ones below the main one), and no latest post at all. However, I can only make the main featured text work. I just couldn’t turn the featured text boxes on. I also tried to make the frontpage a static page, but it only disabled the main featured text, rather than disabled the latest post.

Any help is much appreciated!
