Is it possible to change the home screen applications on the SGSII? (The ones in the dock)
If so, how?
Thanks

If ur refering to the phone, contacts, message, and internet. Then yes, u can. Simply tao the menu n then edit, then drag and drop what ever u want to replace with.

Hi rez1,
When I press edit, all I can change is the number of home screens, not those icons!
Any other ideas?
Thanks

U will have to hold and drag an app to the bottom icons and it will be replaced. Try it.

Open the application menu, THEN click menu and edit and you can change the dock icons

[Q] 2 Dock Icons/App Disappeared

I was on the phone and the phone crashed on me. This is probably due to the FireFly Live Wallpaper that I was using. Because this is the 2nd time. When the phone restart, it went into safe mode, and after restarting, 2 of my dock icons are gone. I can't reinstate it.
I believe some system files are corrupted.
Can someone help me? I don't want to wipe all data again.
Thanks

oh man
press: app menu (application), settings button >>and add icons
I don't have the add icons selection. I press the application icon on the home screen, and then press the menu button, and choose edit. Under edit, i can only add folder or add page. I can also replace the remaining 2 icons by dragging the apllication icons down. But can't add new icons...
Sorry, I maybe a newbie, and need more help.

Replace stock messaging app with Gosms

Hey Folks, is there a way i can replace the stock Messaging app with goSms, on my first page on my phone it has the stock meeaging app, but i cant replace it
Launch your app tray from your home screen and press the menu key. Select edit. Drag the stock SMS app off, drag GoSMS on. Select the menu key again and then select save.
What do you mean launch the app tray?
I have TouchWiz btw.

The blue icon that says Applications on the dock next to the icon you want to replace opens your app tray.
Ohh that lol
Sorry
Thanks buddy, all sorted now.
Much appreciated.

It's TouchWiz, you cannot change that actually. But my friend did replace that and SHE doesn't have any Android advanced knowledge (her phone is not even rooted)
Probably.. Try using GO SMS as the default for SMS related activity?

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.
