Do you guys know if theres anyway to change the 4 apps at the bottom of the TouchWiz launcher??
I really like the launcher but it annoys me that I can't put my prefered messaging app (Handcent SMS) at the bottom of the screen instead of the stock messaging app.

Open your app drawer, tap the key to the left of home, it's name escapes me, to enter edit mode. You can then drag/drop icons to the dock.

Thank alot man
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 just upgraded from a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant SGH-T959
running android 2.2 Bionix-v 1.3.1 by Team Whiskey.
On the Vibrant rom, When I click the apps icon on the bottom my apps appear and the apps scroll vertically.
Is it possible for this Samsung Galaxy S ii SGH-I777 to set to also scroll the apps vertically?
I believe you need to install a launcher such as ADW or Launcher Pro to scroll the app drawer vertically.
If you open up the settings for the app drawer there is an option for view type, select alphabetical list and you will have vertical scroll.
settings for the app drawer? Where are the settings for the app drawer? How to access. I do not see anything called app drawer settings. Or are you talking about the Launcher Pro program?

open the app drawer and press the menu button. there is an option to have a list, instead of the grid. while the list does scroll vertically, it is individual, and not a 4x4 grid that will scroll like in sense. you can always try a 3rd party launcher, those will over ride the TW launcher and give you what you're looking for

Apps/Icons in drawer cannot scroll vertically unless you use a different launcher.
However you can change the app drawer to scroll vertically if you want to
change the view type to "Alphabetical List" where it has the icons on the
right side with full names of them in a row.
Go into the app drawer and click the menu key and select "view type" to
see what I meant.
I would suggest NOT to use a different launcher because the stock one
is a lot faster and very much smoother than any launcher I have tested
so far. (and I have tested just about all of them).
So i hate using icons for my launcher, so i have used simple text as icons. But i have run into a snag along the way.... How do i modify my app drawer icon? I can change the icon easily. but when u choose what to launch you cant choose the app drawer, you have to physically choose an application, anyone know the way around this?
so you have an app drawer button or no?
Hi,
I'm trying to replace the Go SMS Icon on the default Samsung lockscreen, I use Go SMS for default sms and I'm running Nova launcher so have changed the go sms icon to ics icon. But on my lockscreen the go sms icon cannot be changed, is there away?? I have tried a few ICS lockscreen but none work to how I want, either double lock screen or look awful!
Can someone shed some light on best way.
Thanks

AFAIK, the icon cannot be changed on the default lockscreen. Only the application. The only way I can see to change the icon would be to edit the Go SMS Pro apk and change the icon file to the one you want. This however will need to be done again after every reboot.
Another way would be to create your own small application with the Icon you want, and have that just directly open Go SMS Pro.

Thank you for the reply... Hmm that's a shame as I do like the default lockscreen just the Go SMS Pro app looks awful on there!
I'm not sure how to create my own icon, was hoping that I could copy the stock messaging icon and replace the Go SMS one in root...
Oh well will just stick with Holo launcher now!
Thanks.

i think you can decompile the apk, change the icon sign it and install it and it will have the icon you replaced by default. but its not such an easy process.

Hmm think I might skip that, probably end up causing more damage than its worth!
Thanks though..

If you install widget locker, you can customize the lock screen using any combination of icons-to-apps that you want.
