Hi,
I have somehow accidently deleted the Messaging Icon from the undertray where the 4 standard icons go, now the problem is the messaging icon is not in the applications so cannot drag it back there again!
Does someone know how I can get this back, if I search the phone the Messaging Icon is there and I can click it to go to messaging, but it just isn't in the applications so cannot drag it back when editing the undertray.
I am completely stock and not rooted (yet...)
Thanks in advance,
Go to applications, click on the menu button and select list view. This is an alphabetical sort, so messaging should be there under M.
how the devil did you do that! i thought the four icons in TW4 were locked in place? id love to be able to change them but keep the TW4 launcher
kinda mad since your not rooted, you have any idea how you did it?

Applications -> Menu -> Edit
Now you can drag and drop the icons around
@Sleepycat3 Thanks for the reply, I tried as you suggested but the Messaging App is not in the list (see attachment).
Anyone got anymore suggestions, it is really driving me mad!!
@Crucio_ As to how I did it, I have now worked that out...
Hit Applications, Press Menu, then Press Edit you can now drag all Apps around including the undertray. Be careful though if you remove the Messaging App you can't get it back - As I have found out
I would suggest trying to re install the message app, or push it with adb/root explorer. But if your not rooted i don't know enough about these things to give you proper advice.
Only thing i would say try is get the .apk for the message app and install it and see what happens

Saw this on Gizmodo:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/circlelauncher-light/de.dbware.circlelauncher.light
Multi select apps from one widget.
Liking it!
Tried this. It duplicates the launcher icons every redraw until it gets overwhelmed and FCs. Give it more time.
That problem only occurs with Angry Birds. I believe they are working on a fix.
Hi all,
Does anyone have a clue, how to:
- Add a shortcut to Circlelauncher.
I mean the shortcut should appear as app, maybe in the manu as well.
Ive been using it for a while now and think it's great! occasionally it slows down when opening one of the circlelancher widgets (i have four on my screen) but have never experienced an FC from it.
Tap to open the launcher. Currently installed apps appear. To add more, tap circle icon. List of all apps should appear. Check the ones you want....Is this what toy meant?

Do you mean getting the circlelauncher to appear on your screen? If so keep in mind that they are widgets so you have to long press on your screen and select it from the widget menu.
If you mean choosing the individual apps, you choose them from the settings menu.
Hi all, thanks for the answers.
But you dont get it, so far. So: I would like to add a shortcut (like call the chosen contact, go to wifi settings) to the circle. The problem is, that you can add only apps which are on the devicle. I should make the shortcut to appear as app, and than I could add it to circlelauncher.
Or to add shortcut somehow else. (I know that in a normal case, you can not add shortcuts to it)
I want to clear my homesreen totaly btw. Dou you know any launcher, that would let me to even make the dialer or contact button to disapperar? (have motorola defy)
BR to all.

Since the Nook Color so far can't make shortcuts, I might suggest asking in the Motorola Defy section of the forum.
facebook picture for contacts
Circlelauncher is a great widget so far, haven't had any problems. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the facebook pictures as the picture for the contacts? That would be a great addition!
Is there a way to arrange the order of the icons? I want to group like items.
Cheers,

I wondering if there is a way to change the icons, not programs, in the TouchWiz dock. Example - I hate the green phone icon and want to substitute in the ICS phone icon. I can use desktop visualizer to create a shortcut icon...however, TouchWiz only lets you add apps from the drawer to the dock, and desktop visualizer shortcuts do not show in the app drawer (only on the desktop).
I'm not rooted...yet. I don't want to use a launcher other than TWiz because every single one of them is laggy on the Note.
n00b thought - is there a way, with or without root, that I can use root explorer, find the icon .png being used for the phone, and just replace it with a different .png of my choosing?
Thanks!
You can do it, but it'll take a little bit of work.
Use APK Manager to decompile the apk, find the icon, change it, compile, sign, and replace the original apk with your modified one.
Thanks for the info...led me on a fun journey last night through apk multi-tool. Learned a ton. Ultimately, I couldn't push the apk back to the phone after recompiling because it was a system app...need to root. Fun stuff tho!

Rooting is easy and only takes like 2 minutes. Look at the various methods on the development threads.
Here is a good one!!!!!

If you end up wanting to that is.
probably a really stoopid question......
but if I wanted to swap the application (not the icon) in the touchwiz shortcut area how do I do that under ICS. On Gingerbread I just selected edit and could drag and drop a replacement app onto the drawer, but following ICS update I can't. Am I being a total dufus?
Jon.
Just go to the app drawer, hit menu then edit, drag the icons out and drag the ones you want in. No root, no app required.
Edit dock from app drawer!!!

Hi, I believe I read that with ICS, Google made it possible to remove carrier and phone producer apps. I have been through the settings but can't seem to find where to do so. Can someone help me?
Also, how do you remove eg. the contacts or messages icon? Before the update it was no problem to replace the custom SMS icon with another app, but it seems impossible now.

go to PLAYMARKET and get ICONCHANGER (RootUser) and you can download icons from the APPandTHEMES or you can create them on pgn format ! its so f. easy
I think you misunderstand, I want to replace the stock SMS app shortcut with a shortcut to the Go SMS app. But thanks anyway

Edit: I found out, I remembered it incorrectly and it's just going to apps, edit -> drag icon down to the touchwiz bar.
I just changed over to task650-aokp-build-35 and in the process of setting everything up again. I can not find a feature to designate phone numbers for speed dialing. Can someone point me in the right direction? Other than that, the ICS build is awesome.
Thanks,
Jim
First, update to build 37.
Open up the phone and hit menu, settings, speeddial.
Thanks. I'm a noob so one question. Can I just do an update or do I have to wipe and flash again?

There is no selection for SpeedDial in the list. Any ideas?
Im not on latest either, and do not have the option. and have no clue, other than what red said, if its even in the ROM.
but if you didnt do a full wipe, then some features might be missing.
The stock AOKP dialer does not support speed dial. You can however set favorites. If you need speed dial just download a different dialer from the market that supports it.

I went with xDialer from the market. It seems to have what I am looking for. Now, if I can only find a way to reassign the stock dialer button to run it I will be happy.

If the icon is all you want - download a Go Launcher EX ICS theme. And assuming you are using Nova launcher that comes with AOKP (if you are not you should, it is awesome). Press and hold the dialer icon of you new dialer app - and replace the icon of your new dialer with one from the ICS theme icon pack from Go Launcher.
It sound like a PITA but it really isn't. I did the same thing cause I do not like the GMail icon for I did the above steps and replaced it with the stock email icon.
I just found a way to do what I wanted. Part of ICS is guess.
1. Place shortcut to app on home screen
2. press and hold shortcut until it can be moved.
3. drag and drop on top of phone icon.
(this creates a toolbar with both apps)
4. tap toolbar to show both icons
5. press and hold stock dialer icon until it can be moved.
6. drag icon to delete area.
(this leaves only the dialer icon in place of the stock dialer icon)
Cool stuff. I am liking ICS better and better.

Does this have anything to do with your original question, the speed dial?
I've tried to visualize your 6 steps above and can't imagine how that accomplish what you want.
The original question of how to get speed dial is answered by replacing the stock dialer with one from the market. The last part is replacing the stock dialer shortcut with the shortcut to the replacement dialer.

there is a much easier way of replacing that.
remove one. replace with another. no need to make a folder with both apps, and then remove one. This has nothing to do with ICS, just the launcher. and that feature has been around for years.
Play around with android, its pretty cool.

I figured that might be the case, but I documented the method that I used.

Thumbs up.
This exactly what I had in mind, but I thought OP made 6-step speed-dial working. If just for placing the icon (new app) on the home scree, it could be done in 2 steps, one remove the stock, two, place the new one on the home screen.

Got it.
Hi all newbie here and did a few searches and tried to look for help but could not find right info, also I hope I am in the right spot to post so please feel free to tell me if I am not in the right place. Currently running ICS 4.0.4 up-to-date at time of writing on Vodafone Australia but I don't think the country of service provider is the problem. I have a problem with my 'Home Screen Dock' NOT THE 'Lock Screen Dock' I can change icons on the lock screens no problems, All the help, forums and videos on changing the 'Home Screen Dock' Icons say to simply drag, drop[ and replace. All i wanted to do is change the stock "Internet" Icon with Chrome. Dragged the internet icon of and went to drag the Chrome one on but I can't as instead of the dock staying visible like on some videos it changes to the Delete Icon option. Cant find settings please help. Also I do not want to use a 3rd party launcher. I tried Apex and do like it but I use widgets and can't use widgets as my phone is not rooted. Please help arrrgghhh. Thanks in advance.
PS . I just have a blankspot where my internet Icon use to be.
I am running JB at the moment, so can't tell you perfectly. But I remember having this situation before and I used menu-edit to change icons in dock. try that.
Or go into app drawer and navigate to page where chrome is then go menu-edit... pick chrome and try to bring it down on the dock.

Doing menu-edit changes the dock bar and give me the following 4 options to drag the icon on to.... "Create Folder" "Create Page" "File Info" "Delete".

Thanks for your reply...I had already tried this. The only difference is that now once you start to drag instead of the "Creat Folder" "Create Page" "File Info" and "Delete" it does the same but just with those as icons and no text.

Gonna go and get rooted the I can take full advantage of APEX Launcher.
Hi All,
Like StefsGalaxy, I've done a myriad of searches re: TouchWiz Shortcut Dock and thus have yielded no results, or at least nothing fluid anyway.
I guess it is a localised issue. i.e. AU Only. I'm with the Vodafone network but have seen posts the same from people who are on Telstra.
I've read a few threads on XDA RE: Modifying TouchWiz, and have been fairly successful. Said Mods have mostly been Column / Row modifications to allow for more icons on the HomeScreen and AppDrawer.
I'm interested to know if there is a way I can
A) Modify the application shortcuts on the dock (within the APK)
B) Undo the changes that Samsung have 'borked'
C) Revert to a pre-jelly bean version of TouchWiz (seclauncher2.apk) where the functionality to change the Apps still exists..
Perhaps if I could find seclauncher.apk from a 4.0.4 build (any directions on where are welcome), I could compare the differences between the two and re-compile for 4.1.1.
Any alternative suggestions that don't involve a complete ROM change or a new Launcher? (I quite like what I have)
Thanks in advance....
