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.

Anytime! I did the same thing with GoSMS when I first got it.

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

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.

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.

Ah ok - worked great!!
Thanks
Open the application menu, THEN click menu and edit and you can change the dock 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.

Really... no one knows

When you get to calling somebody, it doesn't give you an option to choose what to dial with? I have dw contacts and use that different dialer
Otherwise go to phone and delete saved defaults
which dialer you use to call out is up to you. there is no default dialer.(edit: default is set when click on call link. use to call when link is clicked from web or email. to clear go into manage apps and click clear default) when you want to make a call and select phone you are selecting the dialer so just select ex dialer instead. if you want to delete the stock dialer then delete contacts.apk. this deletes dialer(phone) and contacts but ex dialer includes contacts.
Amen thanl you

This is how it looks wile on a call dpi is 260 i have install dw dialer and ex dialer but still this one comes up when making a call. There must be some thing rong on my end maybe

are you pressing phone icon? if so that is your problem. you have to press the ex dialer icon to get into it. phone is the dialer. you cant change what opens when pressing phone. that would be like wanting youtube to open when you press gmail. it is only the ui not the actual phone. if you want to only use ex dialer then put a shortcut to it in place of phone. you can delete contacts.apk so the stock dialer and contacts are gone.

I did delete contacts apk and still when using ex dialer or any other that same one still comes up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
what are you doing to get that dialer to come up? pressing phone or link from web or other?
There is a setting for one hand dialing and yours is set for left hand.
I click on ex dialer i delete the contact apk allready but it still comes up ill give it one more try
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
if contacts.apk is deleted that dialer should not be in your system anymore. the stock contacts and phone icons should be gone. you didnt delete contactsprovider.apk by mistake did you? and clicking on ex dialer should take you to ex dialer not the stock dialer. what happens if you search web for something with a phone number and click call tab from web page? first time should ask what app you want to use? what are your choices?
If you are set at 260 vs the 320 stock, it'll look that way, no?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Yes setting to 260 will offset the stock dialer like that and not ex dialer.
What Rom/mods/themes are you using?
Am om blackstar vll rom is perfect i just want tp chage the dialer all in iy

I just installed blackstar vii and ex dialer and cant reproduce your problem. When trying to open ex dialer i get ex dialer not stock and deleting contatcs.apk from system/app completly removes the stock dialer(phone) and contacts icons. Sorry but i am out of ideas.
