Replacing stock music player icon from dock? - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Alright XDA people, I've searched for a thread on this topic but had no luck.
The stock music player on the 4.0 sucks, let's leave it at that. I now use PowerAmp. BUT! The stock music player icon in the dock is annoying me now because I will never use it. I'd love to replace that icon with a shortcut to PowerAmp.
Short of flashing a new ROM, do you guys have any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks.

Try using a new launcher, like ADW Launcher EX, with it you can move around any icons and shortcuts, including the dock.

In the app drawer press menu then edit and you can replace the dock apps.

Thank you! Zaclimon hit the nail on the head - I quite like the stock launcher so I wasn't looking to get a new one, but this fixed the problem. Thanks again.

Thank you!
Thank you to giving me this information

Actually, I've been using 'HE Launcher 2' lately (free from the market) and I love it. You can choose from all the popular docks (including a perfect Sense rosie, stock Gingerbread, Samsung, Froyo, espresso, blur, etc.), it has swipe-to-hide notification bar feature that works perfectly, and you can completely customize the size of your homescreens AND widgets.
Plus, Custom transitions, a blazing fast FULL app drawer, supports live wallpaper too..
I added a flip-clock with fancy widgets home, so now my phone LOOKS like it's running the Stock launcher, but it's waaay faster.

i use adw launcher
I have been using LP for a while now, sense was driving me nuts lol.
The stock android photo frame widget will work with any launcher..
Try out Go Launcher, it's free with alot of different themes and widgets (including a people, messaging, and Facebook widget)
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Go launcher EX works wonders for me , couple it with the pure messenger and calendar and built in FB widget its stunning.
So I know this might seem funny to some people...
But I REALLY love the people widget that Sense has that lists favorites along the left but their last interaction next to them. Like latest facebook status, or call timing, or text message, etc.
Does any replacement launcher offer something similar?
Or is there a standalone app/widget that can do this?
If so, I definitely wouldn't mind parting with Sense...
I know that I'm not the only Launcherpro user out there!
Honestly I originally chose LPP because of the sense like widgets, but with the addition of themes (icon and widget) and transition animations, I really can't use anything else.
Plus I've found LPP to be more responsive than go or Adw, but i know many would argue on this point.
Really its just personal preference- they're all great launchers.

I'm anxious to see which launcher will be the first to be in 3D, similar to the EVO3D commercials, which shows the Sense home screen in 3D.
I have tried all launchers outhere and always go back to launcher pro. If you know how to set it up you'll have the smoother best looking launcher. LP is running at a cap 60fps scrolling with no lag. Transition effect "scale" and even iphone user are shock in how much more smoother my launcher is compare to an iphone 4. The widget are awesome too. Im using facebook, calendar and bookmark with honeycomb theme. Would not go back to any other launcher again. If anyone mention stutter or lag in LP is because they have not set it up right in the setting cause i was getting lag at first too.

I have ADW EX and LPP, the only complaint I have with LPP is the app drawer animation seems incredibly choppy.

A bit off topic, but I use adw, and I can't get it to Stick. When I hit home, sense comes back up. I used to get a choice, and could check use this choice always so adw would come up when I hit home. Anyone know how to get it back?

It's true.. the music widget only works with the stock SE launcher!
I have the same problem because I use launcher pro. Just download PowerAmp which is a much better music player than the stock one and has a widget too
Its nott a problem -its intentional

(Solved) How to get the home screen dock horizontal in landscape?

Title basically says it all. I have ADW EX and can't seem to find the setting (if there even is one).
I keep my phone in landscape mode as much as possible and want the extra dock real estate. Did a search in the forums and found nothing
Any suggestions on other launchers that have the setting if ADW doesn't? Thanks
EDIT: After digging around some more, VTL launcher solves my problem and then some! Awesome launcher

Can I replace the fugly Samsung Icons with the stock ICS?

TW4 is an abomination. I have switched to the Apex launcher which does a good job of giving a stock ICS feel, but I want rid of the fugly samsung TW icons for phone, messaging, contacts etc.
Whats the easiest way to do this?
rant
Why the **** would you bother changing the good things in stock ICS, like folders etc, and replace them with the sort of ugly and arduous **** we haven't had to deal with since Froyo in stock?
/rant
If you get Apex Pro you can use the adw ICS theme and use the icon pack from that in the Apex theme menu.
Just download an ICS icon pack and long press to change them using Apex launcher. Did a quick google search and found many. One link below.

Once you get your icon sets, Desktop Visualizer from the market gives you the ability to change any icon with any launcher and resize it depending on what you want.

[Q] Changing touchwitz icons

I'd like to change GOSms icon with the stock SMS app icon to put it on dock and replace the stock SMS app, how can I change an app icon with touchwitz? I'd change it because GOSms icon is smaller than other icons in the dock and it's very ugly
Desktop visualizer :good:
Thanks my friend! Very useful!
I know its not a direct answer to your question but you could try another launcher. Apex Launcher allows full control over icons and titles for every item on your home screens.
Forgive me for crashing the thread, but I also need some help changing icons. I want to change the dock icons (on stock Rom) and I am using apex launcher pro. On my HTC Sensation and apex launcher, all I need to do is long press the icon and I then have the option to change it, but when I long press on sgs, the only option I get is to remove app. I am sure it must be simple, can someone help me out. Thanks.
I feel a bit stupid now. After uninstalling all third party launchers and re-installing them, I now have all the correct options to edit the dock icons.

is there any way to change the stock icon in the touchwiz lock screen? I can use desktop visualizer to create the shortcut with new icon on the dock, but touchwiz lock screen icons I cannot change to customize.
