Like how you can switch between your different backgrounds, there's five icons at the bottom that are persistent, don't change as you switch backgrounds, for the phone, mail, internet etc etc.. How do I change these? Thanks.
ummm trying to remember with touch wiz, i only used that launcher in transit from the store to my house wherein i rooted and restored my apps from my captivate which included adw ex launcher
I believe you open the app drawer, hit the menu button, and the edit option, then just drag what apps you wanna use to the dock.
If you are wanting to just change the picture then you'll need a different (read as better) launcher.
This should not be difficult?

I was able to move these locked apps/icons which appear on all home screens on my SGS1, and now on the SGS2, when i try and edit the home screen(s), the phone wont let me change these.
Ive downloaded Handscent SMS which i want to use to completely replace the default messages app, so in a root explorer program just renamed the Mms.apk application to a ,bak, in doing that, it removed the messages icon from this locked menu so now i can only see PHONE/CONTACTS/APPLICATION icons and still cant add or edit anything...can someone help with this? Just wanna throw the HANDSCENT SMS icon in there...

If you're talking about the four bottom icons with the app drawer icon at the far right then you can change it quite easily. Just open the app drawer, hit menu then edit. You can drag and move whatever you'd like to the bottom area. Home/Applications must stay though.
Is there any way of changing the icons, renanming them or just pointing the existing icon to another application?
I am trying to keep the stock messaging icon but open Go SMS Pro with it instead?
TIA
I've noticed when trying new themes with "theme chooser" on CM7 the dock remains the same, some icon changes at most, is there a way to customize the dock? I would like to add a couple apps on it or change the ones i have atm, mine show the classic dots that indicate the home screen you're on, then phone app, app drawer, internet app and dots again.
I don't think it's customizable without a separate launcher (ADW, Launcher plus, GO Launcher, etc).
LCD Density causes too many problems with the Market and downloading apps, so I'm trying to find an alternate way to get a more minimalistic setup.
Go Launcher looks great at first. It has an option where i can directly set how large I want my screen icons to be all the way down to 48px. Perfect. The problem is it doesn't have any options to customize the dock outside of downloading themes. I hate the way the dock looks, I can't even make it smaller, and I don't need themes.
ADW has the opposite problem. I can fully customize the dock the way I want to but there aren't any options to make home screen icons smaller unless you pay for the full version.
All I really want are smaller home screen icons like how Go Launcher offers, but I can't find any app that does only that, or found any launcher that combines ADW's dock customization with Go Launcher's icon customization.
Any ideas?
The only "solution" I've found is to take a screenshot of my phone, open it in IrfanView on my PC, crop and resize the dock icons, then save them to a folder in the phone and use them to replace the dock icons. I used ADW and miss that function in Go Launcher EX.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Doesn't sound like a very convenient solution...
Is Go Launcher open source? If no one's been able to make an app, I could just see how Go Launcher does it and make a solution myself.
Hi,
I don't know if I am to stupid or it is not possible. How do I change the shortcuts in the bottom menubar (Taskmanager, Calendar, etc)?
And yes, I tried to google it and searched the forum.
you might want to look at a new launcher which replaces the UI.
ADW EX is a popular one. this lets you change much more of your menus and shotcuts etc.
im pretty sure some of the ones you are wanting to change cannot be done in the stock samsung UI but im new too so sorry if im wrong on that.
Iam already using ADW EX. But I dont mean the app-dock. Iam talking about the HC bottom bar, there is a small "arrow up" in the center which shows some apps (like taskmanager, calendar, etc)
I would love to be able to change those apps on that bar as well...is there anyone who can help?
I'm looking for a drawer that supports custom tabs so I could arrange my apps in a desktop-like manner ie: System, Internet, Multimedia, Office etc. Preferably I would like to swipe horizontally to change tabs and swipe vertically to show more apps in the same tab.
The touchwiz drawer on my Galaxy S4 makes it difficult to rearrange apps ie. you have to move the apps one bye one to your page of preference. On top of that you can't rearrange pages in the drawer (you can do that only in the home screen).
Apex, Novo and Holo launcher sort of have the functionality I'm seeking but they all come with a home screen which I don't want (I would like to keep the stock one).
Any suggestions?
