How do I use this? Every time I try to make a shortcut it does not appear.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
1. long press home screen
2. choose shortcut from the menu
3. choose better cut from this menu
3. once better cut opens, click "installed applications"
4. choose application
5. change name of app if needed, and change display pic if needed (will need icon pack, i prefer glasklart icon pack)
6. click done, or save... w.e. it says at the bottom... the icon shud now be on ur home screen
I tried that and to no avail. It says it added it but it's nowhere to be found..

Hi guys
I would like to know if it's possible to change the default dock apps....
I would like to replace the message app with chompsms' Is it possible without replacing launcher
Yes you can change the dock icons (except applications I think)
I replaced contacts with "Internet" and messaging with "Music". All done with stock launcher.
How?
Long pressing on any of the docked icons and trying to drag them off does nothing, and you can't drag a shortcut from the home screen on to the dock, either?
EDIT: Got it, had to go into applications and then edit from there. I'm such a tool.

Could you be more specific ? I opened "application" and pressing the dock's app now appear "remove" but even if i drag them...they're still there.
Thank you in advance
1. On Home Screen press "Applications"
2. press "menu" and select edit
3. Now you can drag any app into dock position and replace default icons
3. press "menu" again and select "Save"
All done
Sorry for the OT question, but I think it's related. Can you change icons in the TouchWiz launcher, both the 4 buttons in home and in the "applications" menu? That's my only gripe about it, ugly icons.
yeah the 4 icons at the bottom are part of touchwiz which i havent seen away to replace with other icons yet.
Seen people talking about using a different launcher which i assume is related to this in someway but im not to sure.
Resets
If I change my dock apps, it resets when I restart my phone.
Anyone with a solution?
Thanks
is there a way to mod and put a folder instead of 1 app ?

Anybody notice that it's not quite as responsive as, say, TouchWiz?
Like there's a tiny delay when sliding screens..
How can I add an application into the home screen folder? I cannot seem to drag it directly into the folder.
Yeah I haven't really found a launcher that's as responsive as touchwiz... MAYBE launcher pro but I think touchwiz is the smoothest and most responsive. If only it had all those other features =\

Touch the app in the apps drawer, then drag it to the bottom of the page all the homes screens open, simply drop to required screen.
To change dock apps, touch and drag them off the dock drag new app on.
Apps in the dock, can have a second app added by long touching one and selecting change gesture, this enables your choice of app when you (not touch) slide your finger up the icon.

Open the apps drawer, touch the menu button, choose settings, choose scrolling orientation, choose horizontal loop..
Can Golauncher create shortcuts to specific Settings screens etc like LauncherPro+?

doesn't work. To clarify, the screen is already packed, with 16 folders. If I just drop the app onto the page, it says operation failed becoz the page is full. I need to drop the app into a specific folder but it doesn't allow me to.

That wouldnt work as that would only be for horizontal orientation, cylinder doesn't show when using vertical orientation

Move the folder to an empty screen, then drop the app where you want it and then put it into the folder you want. Yes?
I have a couple of questions (sorry, new to GO Launcher) -
Can you boot straight into GO Launcher..???
Also, is there anyway of stopping the main menu button going back to the default Samsung menu..?

Start home switcher, in the bottom left corner click 'clear default' it will take you to another screen, at the right hand side of the screen look for 'Clear defaults' click it.
Now when you press the home button you will get the choice, before selecting check the 'Set as default' box then select Go launcher EX.
Note; to return another launcher as default repeat above...

Hello,
I'm not sure if it is a Samsung thing or not (I'm coming from Sense on a 3D). Can I remove the 4 icons that are always at the bottom or change them?
Yes you can remove them, and yes you can change the "Phone", "Contacts", and "Messaging". You cannot remove the applications icon to my knowledge.
1) Click on the app drawer
2) Press the menu capacitive button
3) Press edit
4) Find the icon you want in your dock, press and hold as you drag it over the icon you wish to replace (in the dock).
5) Press the back capacitive button
If you want to remove them totally (except the app drawer icon)...
1) Click on the app drawer
2) Press the menu capacitive button
3) Press edit
4) Press and hold the icon you wish to remove, and drag it up into the list of apps
5) Press the back capacitive button

Or for ultimate modification, to satisfy your craving for customization try an alternate Launcher.
Launcher Pro
Go Launcher
ADW Launcher
Etc.
Search the Market for these...so much fun to set your phone up the way you want to!
Thanks for the info. I've never rooted an Android before but I think this phone will be sweet once it is rooted.

Good thing about the alternative launchers is that there's no need to root to use them! And you can go back to original state very easily. This is THE SAFEST way to mess with the look of your phone!

Sweet once it's rooted? Ha! This phone is the first android of the 4 i've owned that I don't even feel like I 'need' root. It's that good.
However, as soon as they lose the wifi issue ill be a rooting fool.

or for the minimal in customization and modification try Launcher7.
...I actually paid for that one. I found that I spend so much time customizing my home screens and launchers to make everything 'just right', but, once I have it set up I never use any of it. So I go with Launcher7 because the WP7 interface is bloated, in your way and clunky but the most basic and most essential things are right there...and I actually rarely use anything but that during my day (at work).
Though I've gotta admit that if TW had a 4D app drawer and a few more home-screen transitions (or _any_ other) I don't think i'd bother changing launchers.

Took me forever to figure this out but you have to select "customizable grid" for the view type to be able to change the dock. Then when you're done you can change back and have them sorted alphabetically. That's also where you can put apps in folders and add home pages.

I should have written back that I don't know what the app drawer is or I'm doing something wrong. I have applications always sitting in the bottom right of my screen. I want to move that to the center of page 2 and put my flashlight where applications is always visible now.
Or perhaps there is a way to remove all four or have it pop up like a task bar so it isn't always wasting the bottom portion of any page?
How do I change the icons at the bottom of the home screen?
Press applications icon> menu button> edit > switch. Press and hold to drag new icons onto the dock like usual.

Go to the applications menu, tap menu, edit and drag out the app you don't want and drag in the app that you want. Then tap menu again and hit save otherwise it won't change the changes that you've made.
I didn't see this anywhere on here so i thought id throw up a small tutorial for those who would like to add it to there toggles. Oh and to the best of my knowledge you must be rooted to achieve this, it's the only way I know how.
1. Download sqlite editor from play store.
2. After opening sqlite editor scroll all the way down until you get to settings storage and click it.
3. On the next screen pops up choose settings.db.
4. Next screen choose system which should be at the bottom of the list.
5. Now scroll all the way to the bottom until you see notification_panel_active_apps_list and hold you finger on out to highlight it and then select the pencil(edit) button at the top of the screen.
6. Go the the very end of all the entries and add MobileData; <-----just like I have typed right there even with the; directly after it.
7. Press save
8. Back out and reboot.
9. After reboot you should now be able to edit your quick toggle buttons but now there will be a mobile data option in the 2nd list that you can slide up to the top section.
10. Enjoy
I hope this helps someone out that is aggravated with the no quick toggle data scenario.
Is there any other way without rooting?
No settings.db shows on my device.
There is nothing in settings storage , please help
