My first SGS so dont be an ass about it
Can the app icon be moved ?
tried long press with no luck.. is there some trick with the SIII
Pretty sure you would have to use another launcher if you wanted to remove/change it
thought that mite be the case just wanted to make sure...
thanks
Try APEX. You will love it!!! I bought the pro version (it's like $3 or $4) so I can get swipe gestures off the icons as well.
Custom mode. Press menu in the app drawer

Long press the icon and it asks you if you wanna edit. Then tap the icon picture and the rest is up to you.

i purchased an app called call custom launcher icons. it has lots of icons though repeated in diffrent colors. It has some custom drawers too. all i did was long press on the icon i wanted to change (on the app drawer) then when next pop up asking what i wanted to change i pressed icon pic. then it asked where I wanted to look for it I chose the custom launcher icons and scrolled through the icons till i found the one i wanted to use, pressed it and after a few seconds i had a custom icon on the app drawer.
I'm pretty sure I have that app as well and it doesn't work like that!!!

Did you ever figure out the answer to this? I can change icons on homescreen but not in the drawer. What am I missing? Thanks. -GEF
Is there anyway to remove the stock messaging icon? I use SMS Pro for texting and would like to replace it with the SMS Pro icon. Is this possible?
Hint! Press settings inside the app.

You can change the dock icons by going into the app drawer, press menu, view type, and select customizable grid. Then you can drag which ever app you want to replace the stock app. I then switch it back to alphabetical grid, but that isn't necessary

All stock apps cannot be uninstalled unless you root the phone.

Huh? I've done that and see no option to remove the stock icon, unless I am overlooking it. Could I get another hint?

Be careful ... uninstalling stock apps can have unintended consequences and issues. Its best to hide them in a folder, or ignore them.

Go into settings and disabled notifications. If you trying to remove the icon from the dock, againg press menu inside the appdrawer. Custom arrangement, drag and drop. Hint! There's a hidden settings in every app by pressing the menu button.

Thanks for all the help. I didn't uninstall the stock SMS program, just replaced the icon with the SMS pro icon.
Hey, I was wondering how do you add apps to the launcher at the bottom by the app drawer buttons the home screen? I took out messaging and internet by accident and now I don't know how to add it back, thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Just drop and drop when you are in home screen, so make sure the apps are on current home screen (I'm pretty sure I don't use TW launcher)

If you are still using the stock launcher, I would highly recommend to change it. You won't have to root just download it of the market. Best launcher for SIII is Nova. Try it, it will let you have 6 icons vertically on the screen and so much more.
Good luck

Just hold you're finger over the icon then slide it up to the top to delete then to replace hold finger on an empty space on home screen and then select the app you want close it then drag the icon to the desktop bar

Thanks for the hint with Next Launcher is the best that I used (beta v4): smooth animation and fast and no lag.
I use wit cm-7-20121125-NIGHTLY official Defy+ and no crash in 2 days.

Beware of the beta
I was at 1 step to flash the rom because of the Next Launcher, it was the single launcher that I have installed on my defy and beta time has ended and a message appear to buy the full version and no way to get rid of the message, I was luckly that i have borwser in the recent apps and for there I installed another launcher

I am using this..... it's a little heavy on the ram and possibly on the battery.... but the launcher is really cool and being a long time fan of the go dev and their apps .... I just loved it! Very happy with it..... just cannot go back to the old one now
