How can i add more app shortcuts on ics's quick place which is shown in the picture by red circle
Get a different launcher. I'm pretty sure both Apex Launcher and Nova Laucher support different dock pages.
He's Right

He's Right. In Nova Launcher you can go in settings->dock and change the number of icons like I have in my screen shot below.

Not sure if anyone here can help, but you guys are so helpful I thought I'd give it a shot. My wife likes the style of the icons for the iPhone apps, but definitely doesn't want an iPhone. Any way I can make the icons that show up in her app drawer have the iPhone look, possibly without rooting it?

I'm not sure how to make it show up in the app drawer, but it's definitely possible to make the icons show up on the home screen. And you can do it without root too.
First, download a launcher from the market called launcher pro. You don't need plus. The free version is fine.
Second, download your icons.
Third, press and hold on the homescreen until a pop up appears. Select shortcuts, then select applications. Choose your app, select custom icon, and then select your icon of choice from the folder your icons are located in when your gallery shows up.
Your app should appear with the custom icon on the homescreen now.
Hope that helps!

Yeah, she's using launcher pro now. I knew I could do that with the dock but didn't realize you could choose a custom icon for the shortcuts and also wasn't sure about the app drawer part. I may see if just changing what she sees on her homescreen will satisfy her. Any suggestions on iphone style icons?

I think that ADW Launcher themes can theme the drawer icons. If she is hesitant about changing Launchers, ADW Ex adds some of the Launcher Pro Features that the free ADW Launcher does not have (and also some that Launcher Pro doesn't have).

He's right and if I remember correctly there is even an ADW theme that changes the icons to look iphonish.
Sweet, I'll have to look into that. Is ADW just as smooth as Launcher Pro?

Currently, I would say that ADW might even be faster than LauncherPro. That wasn't always true. I use LauncherPro Plus, because I like the widgets, but I have been playing with ADW Ex recently and it seems very fast on my phone. The developer of LauncherPro is currently working on rebuilding it from scratch, so it might speed up in the future.
i dont like the app drawer of launcher pro...is there a way to change it..???..
i want to stick to launcher because of the widgets it has...is there such a launcher with better app drawer and supports folders??
what exactly dont you like? The scroll direction, size of icons, number of rows / colums? all of this is easily tweaked with launcher pro. It would help if you told us exactly what you do not like. I prefer ADW EX personally
Try Go Launcher EX from the market.

Agree! Go Dev Team is making new widgets too!
I'll quote myself from another post:
I've been using Go Launcher Ex for the past weeks and it's great.
It has some good features like a latest used apps' list, apps can be uninstalled by the click of your finger in app browser etc.
However, ADW Launcher / Ex has beautiful themes you can use.
Both ADW and Go launchers are stable on my P500.

i dont like the size of the icons...they are too large...scrolling direction...i prefer horizontal..n drawer background...i havent found any option to change these...could you be more specific about the tweaks please...
How to change app drawer from horizontal pages to vertically oriented, using the default launcher? I used ADW before, but the default ICS launcher looks fine to me... for now
Also, there's how to increase the number of slots for shortcuts and widgets in home - in the default launcher too?

With stock Trebuchet launcher there really isnt a way, if i were you id look into alternate launchers like NOVA or APEX , i personally use apex though i dont see any options for vertical scrolling through the app drawer
I want to use the stock ICS icons in the nova launcher, does anyone know how to do this?
So when you add an app to your dock or one of the homescreens, a different icon pops up?
Do you have any icon packs installed?
same here please

Download an ADW ICS Theme. This one from KovDev works perfectly. Long press the icon, tap edit, click on the image, select Image File, then select ADW Icons or something like that. Then you'll have the choice of using that ICS icon from there. Works perfectly.
EDIT: You can use any ADW theme this way (at least individual icons) in Nova Launcher. I do it all the time, so I know it works.
EDIT 2: This will only be for individual icons on the homescreen, not in the app drawer.
If you download the icons, you press and hold the app with the icon you want to change, select edit, then click on the icon. From here it will give you an option to pick from the gallery or file browser, just pick the icon file and you're good to go.

Thanks guys worked perfectly. i feel so dumb now.
It would be nice to be able to change multiple icons with a pack, much like launcher pro. :-/
