Hi everyone,
i have searched the net and many forums and google play , but i canot find a solution to this situation.
i want to resize the Dock on my galaxy S2. i want to either auto hide it, like the slide up to hide in ADW EX, or resize the icons to smaller size, instead of the jumbo default ones. since it is possible on ADW, it should be possible in other ways . i just want to know how can it be done manually?.
i want a large desktop with more wallpaper visible..i dont want any launchers, as ADW keeps messing phone and zooming in wallpaper, which is hectic.
phone is rooted. 4.0.4 Stock. nordic XPLY.

Tell smth about your launcher.What launcher is it?
omg this is so simple lol, use launcher pro or adw ex, set a custom dock, and then set up those text icons on the dock.
the text icons are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812947
many icons here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824656
That's the icon on the right little bar on the home page. I also added some Widgets like picture frames but now can't get them to delete.
Switch to another launcher, like Launcher Pro. This will allow you to customize the home screen and dock with whatever icons you like. If you upgrade to the paid version you can resize the widgets as well.
With the Widgets I wish I knew how to delete them. They don't seem to call up the trashcan when you grab them.
Not too sure about that, I didn't use the stock android launcher for long enough to try that. Like I said, I recommend Launcher Pro. You can also try ADW or Zeam. Although Zeam is not longer being worked on.
x2 on Launcher Pro. The only reason why I don't add that by default is that I think it should be the user's option. Some like LP, some like ADW. So, I add a stock Goggle Launcher just you have a basic Launcher until you replace it.
LCD Density causes too many problems with the Market and downloading apps, so I'm trying to find an alternate way to get a more minimalistic setup.
Go Launcher looks great at first. It has an option where i can directly set how large I want my screen icons to be all the way down to 48px. Perfect. The problem is it doesn't have any options to customize the dock outside of downloading themes. I hate the way the dock looks, I can't even make it smaller, and I don't need themes.
ADW has the opposite problem. I can fully customize the dock the way I want to but there aren't any options to make home screen icons smaller unless you pay for the full version.
All I really want are smaller home screen icons like how Go Launcher offers, but I can't find any app that does only that, or found any launcher that combines ADW's dock customization with Go Launcher's icon customization.
Any ideas?
The only "solution" I've found is to take a screenshot of my phone, open it in IrfanView on my PC, crop and resize the dock icons, then save them to a folder in the phone and use them to replace the dock icons. I used ADW and miss that function in Go Launcher EX.

Doesn't sound like a very convenient solution...
Is Go Launcher open source? If no one's been able to make an app, I could just see how Go Launcher does it and make a solution myself.
Hi,
I don't know if I am to stupid or it is not possible. How do I change the shortcuts in the bottom menubar (Taskmanager, Calendar, etc)?
And yes, I tried to google it and searched the forum.
you might want to look at a new launcher which replaces the UI.
ADW EX is a popular one. this lets you change much more of your menus and shotcuts etc.
im pretty sure some of the ones you are wanting to change cannot be done in the stock samsung UI but im new too so sorry if im wrong on that.
Iam already using ADW EX. But I dont mean the app-dock. Iam talking about the HC bottom bar, there is a small "arrow up" in the center which shows some apps (like taskmanager, calendar, etc)
I would love to be able to change those apps on that bar as well...is there anyone who can help?
Hi anyone had any problem with adw launcher pro when they went and change the dock icon's image? when i tried to change the image it just made it blank. does anyone know what is the required format for adw to be able to change the icon?

type: png
Does anyone know how to change icon in go launcher? or is it only available in the go launcher ex version?
what do you guys suggest on a great launcher that can customize the icons that doesnt eat up alot of battery and ram but still can give enough room for customizing the feel and look

I think you are already using GO Launcher EX (which is totally free).
If you are referring to the icons in the dock, then to change the icon, just tap and hold then select "replace icon". You can also download GO Launcher themes and apply them to change the icons look and feel.
I think GO Launcher EX is a quite decent and fully customizable, but if you prefer launchers similar to stock ICS, then try Apex launcher (free).
I wouldn't worry at all about ram or performance, as Galaxy S3 is more than capable for such simple tasks.
I just downloaded a theme. Does anyone know where it is stored so that i can add my custom icons?
