I was wondering if it's possible to change an app's name and icon in the bottom dock? I can't seem to find any apps for it, the only ones (anycut, bettercut, desktop visualizer etc) I can find are only able to create shortcuts on the homescreen, but I can't put those in the dock.
I know there's LauncherPro/AWD, but I would like to keep using Touchwiz 4.
tl;dr:

You may consider trying out Bettercut or SuperShortcuts.
I have not tested those, but according to their features it looks to achieve what you are looking for.

Those apps create shortcuts on the homescreen, which you can't drag into the dock.

I don't want to use a launcher, but I would like to be able to to customise the icons and text. Something like what Desktop Visualiser does for home screen icons.
It should be possible since other launchers can do it, right? Or is TW a little bit too complicated?
I'm using Go Launcher Ex atm, it's pretty good but TouchWiz 4 feels faster and smoother.

Really?
My reading of the app description implies that one needs a launcher to make use of the dock customisation.
Correct me if I am wrong. If this is not the case then this may well be the answer. I am happy to pay for the app if it does the job; however I am reluctant to dive on in without confirmation that this is indeed the solution to the problem.
Can anyone confirm that Custom Launcher Icons can be used to edit the icon and text of a TW dock icon without the need for a launcher or root access?

I used to have it on my androided HD2, it was with ADW launcher...
I tried it on the TW, i guess it needs a launcher after all
Sorry for the wrong info guys!
Bummer. Thought we might have been on to something there. Never mind.
The search goes on.

Unfortunately guys this isn't a flashable theme.
I have been messing around with the Honeycomb look for the last week.
I've had some requests to share how I achieved the look so here goes.
Some of these are going to be paid apps, but lets support our devs!
First up screenies and there's a bunch
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First up you're going to need Launcerpro plus. Once you have paid for it go to Signals23's thread and download his Honeycomb theme here. That will get you the messaging, agenda, bookmarks, Friends, etc...widgets. You will want to set up 5 columns on your homescreens in the LPP settings. These widgets will need to be resized just longpress and resize to fit your look.
Next for the honeycomb clock at the bottom of my homescreen you will need one more clock widget from here.
The weather widget is just Beautiul Widgets 1x1 with the "None" weather skin.
Beautiful widgets can be downloaded from the market here for $1.96.
The battery widget is BattStatt. You can download the free version here. I recommend upgrading to the Pro version for more customization.
The analog clock is Honeycomb clock FREE which can be downloaded from the market here.
Most of my icons are from the Ares HD icon pack by Radius which can be found here.
A few of the icons are from iconspedia, so if you don't see them in Ares HD check there.
The APPS+ icon is a shortcut that I set up for my settings. The icon is an icon from Manup's Minimal Text Clean icon pack that I played with in GIMP. Here it is, if you can't see it it's there just save and move to your SD card.
Right click above this and save the image.
I am using Audio Manager Pro with the Minimal skin from Johnny Bueno found here on the market.
For my music widget I am using Music Mod which can be downloaded from the market here.
For the dock and dock icons I am using this pack created for the Evo by bizdady.
For the power controls on my notification pull shade I am using Power Control Plus which can be purchased from the market here for $2.02.
The search widget and genie widget are included in Newkidd's AwesomeROM. Special thanks go out to him and all the above mentioned devs. Man I love Android.
If you find anything else to contribute to the look or just want to share please add to the thread.
If I locate anything else or incorporate any suggestions I'll add to this post.

nice! are you going to make a rom based off of this current UI setup? If not, is the theme just applied to stock? or can it be run on roms without bootloop issues?
Might be a silly question, but I cant seem to get my music mod to look like yours. How did you do that?

It's the 4x2 widget resized due to the homecreen being set to 5 columns in LPP.

This look can mostly be achieved with the stock ROM. There's no flashable theme, just a lot of random pieces I've put together in this thread.

Okay, I now have 2.2 thanks to one dedicated employee in the mobile phone area at Best Buy.
We downloaded the official 2.2 for AT&T, renamed it, put it on the SD card and ran the recovery so it overwrote 1.6. Which turns out is exactly what some of the threads here described, I just didn't want to do it myself and risk losing the phone.
Love having Flash and I'm sure I'll find other stuff I like, but I have to admit that I detest the main screen and how it works.
Can anybody suggest a good alternative?
How do I at least lose the "Social" page?
Edit: sorry about not marking as a question. I posted then remembered.
do you mean dell stage if so just get home switcher for froyo and try adw launcher, launcher pro, go launcher, launcher 7 they can all be found in the market then customize and pick the one you like best i use adw and launcher pro

I installed Launcher Pro and love it. Very customizable . Give it a try. Theres a free version in the Android App catalog
I believe that the 'social page' is a stage widget. Press and hold and then drag it to the trashcan that appears.
As others have said there are alternative launchers. I like LauncherPro and another is ADW Launcher. Go Launcher is becoming popular.
One of the best things I like about a replacement launcher (at least some of them) is that you can make better use of the screen size on the Streak, I have my icon grid set to 6x6. The agenda widget in the screenshot below is a 4x4 widget that would fill the entire home screen on a smaller phone.

That's Android Agenda Widget (paid version) BTW.
Edit: Once you are sure that you aren't going to use Stage delete all of the widgets from the screens there. You can DL home switcher for froyo to easily switch between home apps. Here is some info on setting default apps if you don't want to use a home switcher.

What is the bar on the bottom of your tab? with the shortcuts?
That's no bar. It's only a background image. The icons was selfmade images buttons witch desktop visulizer, and the switch was a widgetsoid widget. If you interested I upload the images or create some new. It's very easy for my, my so I have save the psd file and change only the text of the images.

Those shortcuts and text... is that part of the background? If not I would love to have those... looking really really good .
the short cuts are seperate.i have made a zip include the wallpaper,icons,psd files, wallswitch apk and apsorganizer apk.
important, the wallpaper dimension are only for awd launcher.
first install wallswitch.apk go to setting, select you're wallpaper folder.set crop method to "16:9".
push select wallpaper.
to create the shortcuts folders to media, infos etc install appsorganizer
to create the icons download desktop visualizer.
then "create widget" set desktop visulizer 1x1.
edit the icon on home screen.pic up you're image, email,media etc.set action and set "other".
first entry is apps organizer.clear the label.set the highlight color, or vibration if you want.
set ok and that´s it.
if you want download widgetsoid and create some switcher widegts.

Great homescreen you made!
How can i create the icons " browser" etc.?
Hope this is in the correct location. Im trying to find a way to have i guess a minimalist home screen. I just want to have whatever apps on my homescreen to have no icons just the label. But i want the apps in the draw to still have the icons. Not sure if i explained that too well. I had i believe ADW launcher with a minimalist theme. But it also took away the icons in the draw. Which i guess wasnt all that bad but it didnt change all of them. Some had just the label and others still had the icon so it was a mess.
Does anyone know a way i can have just the apps on my homescreen just show the label and no icon? Or
Manually change whatever icons in the draw didnt change with that minimalist theme?

You are missing something.
1. Add widget
2. Widget option
3. Predefined Widget (select custom)
4. Custom Layout
5. Add > Misc > Static Text > Text Here (app name in your case)
6. Go back
7. Start Another Activity or a Shortcut
Then your done, just repeat till you have everything you want.
Its really customizable so you can have the text in almost any way you want, explore it some more.
Simple text from the market. You must be using an alternate launcher other in than stock. You can make text only jpegs and assign them to use as an icon. The apps will look normal still in your app drawer.
See my dock icons in the picture below. Is this what you want?

Is there an app or mod that let's u see a text message on lock screen?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
You could try using Go Locker or Widget Locker, or a similar lockscreen replacement. That's probably your best option.
Other than that, I don't believe you can... You can get it to show up in the notification bar, but it won't stay up; you'll have to read it right when you got it. When it finishes scrolling through the message, it'll go away.
Handcent has a popup that might work for you. Not a lockscreen though.

I'm pretty certain you can install and use GoLocker without GoLauncher. It should let you select the launcher you want it to go to, just like the other lockscreen replacement apps.
Yea I know you can choose APEX but having GoLauncher installed in the background just bothers me.

Well how about that. Yeah you're right, that is very annoying...especially since GoLauncher is going to be using resources in the background...
Try widgetlocker + pure messenger widget.
SmsPopup is excellent, been using for a while now and really like it, you don't need to replace your messaging app, it just handles the notifications with a nice pop up and quick-reply feature. And its free, no ads.
My SMS app (free) has a setting to allow a text to show on the lockscreen
SMS Popup is the closest thing you can get if u don't want the extra packaging(IE: Handcent) although just remember it might drain your battery if youre conservative although you won't see much of a difference just make sure to turn off notifications on the SMS on the OS to avoid any conflict because the app has its own notification
Sent from my Galaxy S2 using XDA
I've been using Nova Launcher with Widget Locker and TeslaUnread (ADW Notifier works too). Basically, when I get a notification, I get a tiny icon my lockscreen button that I have to slide and I just slide it to my messaging app shortcut (which has the notification) and voila. It's not the same but it's similar and gets the job done. I have it going for K9 mail too.

+1, or any other SMS widget (e.g.). Search for "SMS Widget" on the market.
go sms will allow it as well. and you can customize the entire appearance settings as you can in handcent but with the pop ups included. and you dont have to download any of the other go services to be able to use it. if you dont like the look or use of gosms try handcent instead. i used it for a long time with hardly any issues
