Is there any means, other than by root, by which i can change any of the static four widgets?

What do you mean 4 static widgets? There are no static widgets.
If you mean the 4 shortcuts at the bottom (Phone, Contacts, Messages, Applications), then all you have to do is click on Applications, Menu, Edit and then drag the app that you want onto the shortcuts below. When you are done, hit Menu, Save.
You can not replace the Application shortcut because you need to use that to get into the App drawer.

Is there any way to change the lower 4 icons, or at least set it back to default? I lost my Phone and Contacts icon, just Messaging and Applications are showing.
Not sure how this happened, it started somewhere between updating to WKE2 -> Rooting -> Adding the stock kernel back again -> Freezing some apps. I have unfrozen all apps nog, but the 2 icons have not come back to the static buttons at the bottom. I can however see them in Applications.
BTW, besides than this WKE2 seems to be running smooth for me, was a little worried after seeing some other threads.
in the app drawer you can hit the left soft key -> edit and just drag anything u like to the dock.
Hah, I *am* a TouchWiz noob. Thanks!
I must be doing something wrong as i cant get the bottom 4 apps to change. I can customise the othe pages but not the 4 apps on the home page. Any futher help for a noob.

Open up the App Drawer, hit 'Menu' (left softkey), drag what icon you want out and replace it with what you want.
Bare in mind you can only replace three of the four icons.
Many thanks for the pointers, got it sorted.

How to change touchwiz icons on main page? (phone,contacts,etc)
I would like to change the icons on the home screen such as phone, contacts, to something else....someone know how to do it?
Open the app draw, hit menu and just drag and drop the icons.

Well, my app drawer disappeared on my CM7-beta1'd X2. Clicking the spot where the app drawer was pops up a friendly message to drag and drop an app to that spot. Any suggestions for getting it back?
While we're on the subject, is the app drawer slow and choppy for everyone else too? I should say that by "slow and choppy", I mean "not as buttery smooth as everything else"
Long click on homescreen, create a shortcut for tue app drawer, drag it to the spot on the dock.....should work for ya....

Hold your finger on your screen window will pop up. Push launcher actions then hit open close app drawer. Then drag the icon were you want it.
If you go to settings then adw launcher you can set app drawer speedsand preference.

The app drawer.. is.. a widget?
Well, at least it's back. Thanks!
You could also drag your finger from the bottom of the screen to just above the dock and the button will come back. Then drag back down to go back to the dock. I just did what everyone else did and put the widget button in the center, but if you want to use that spot for something else, the app drawer button is still available.

App drawer button is a shortcut. Cm7 comes with adw free and a common issue with users new to adw is that they will accidentally move shortcuts off the dock or even delete it. Above instructions will work to get your open/close app drawer shortcut back, but after you have things where you like I would recommend locking your homescreen. Also done in adw settings.

Freaked me out the first time too. There are other actions you can play with too other than just open the drawer.
With the stock TW laucher of my SGS 2 (ICS) I would like to move pages in the App drawer, say move page number 5 to the end (page number 12) but I just can't figure out how to do that.
I can move Icons, add and remove pages and folders but I can't move an entire page.
Is this not possible with the App drawer of TW launcher?
As far as I can remember you do it the same way as you would with home screens. Pinch & drag.

Nope, that did not work. Any other idea?
Really no way at all?
On tje bottom of my home screen, it will only allow me to put 3 widgets. I want to add a 4th widget on the bottom next to the "apps" button, but I can't remember how. Any help? Thanks in advance.

If using Nova Launcher, go into home, advanced settings, overlap all widgets. Then go into dock, advanced settings, dock-as-overlay.
If using TouchWiz launcher, I am unclear on any solution.
