There is an icon of the outline of a person. when i click it it says "application not installed". what application is that?
Its just the stock android contact app. Just replace the link with a link to the contact app on your phone.takes like three seconds.

Hold the contact icon and slide it there. Then it will ask what icon u want to use and done
Thanks for the response, I was wondering this too.

How do I remove the stock shortcuts that are at the bottom of the screen with Launcher Pro> i can easily add in others, for a total of 15, but I want to remove some of the ones that are pre-installed.

Just hold your finger down on them until the menu pops up. If you want fewer dock screens (5 or 10 icons instead of 15 as you scroll) you can change that in menu > preferences > dock settings > number of docks.

At least I'm not the only one.
Bettercut:
1. download bettercut from market
2. download icon pack of choice
3. long press on empty home screen
4. click on "shortcut"
5. go to "Bettercut"
6. go to "Activity".....wait about 20 seconds for all the items to show up (you will faintly see the thinking icon in the orange bar at the top right part of the screen).
7. click on an item, change name and/or icon as you desire and then click "create".
FYI, Folder Organizer is much easier to use though. I have no need to change my titles though as I'm not trying to hide pron.
On my captivate there are four apps on the bottom of all home screens: Phone, Email, Browser, and Apps.
Any way I can change it? It doesnt seem to be accessible/customizable.
I havent found a way yet either....so doesn't seem possible.

Yep, I figured it out. Follow this:
1. From the Home screen select "Applications"
2. Menu> View Type> Customizable Grid
3. Menu> Edit
You can now slide any App down to the bottom dock. You can even change it back to "Alphabetical Grid" and it will still save the Apps on the dock.
thank you sir!

Is anyone having success with Launcher Pro replacing touchwhiz?
I really prefer launcher pro over touchwiz. Are you asking how to change the buttons on the dock in launcher pro? If so, just hold down one of the little +'s until the menu opens up and go from there.
on a related note, is there a way to remove the different pre-loaded AT&T applications from the phone? there are a number that seem useless given other apps out there that do the same thing but better, but i can´t seem to figure out how to delete them.
keep your finger on the icon you want to move a second longer than normal (if you have your phone on vibrate, it will buzz) then you can move them around the screen as many or as much as you like. You can also drag them into a bin which will appear in the bottom of the screen. This action doesn't delete the app or icon, it just reappears in the apps page. Very easy but took me ages to work it out. So simple. Have fun
Hi all, as written in the title, how can i change the homescreens number from 5 to 1 on Android 4.0.4?
I have root permissions, so i can edit system file if it is needed to change this number, i want only 1 homescreen because i use just one...
I didn't find anything in phone settings...
Thanks in advance,
Bye!

I think that, just as with GingerBread and HoneyComb that will not be possible if you stay stock - Google seem to think that EVERYBODY needs 5 or 7 home screens. I'm with you - I only need one for my purposes.
The only way you will achieve what you want is by installing a separate launcher running on top of your system - most of these have the ability to customise the number of screens.
Install a replacement launcher - Nova, Apex or whatever. Nice and simple. Plus you will also be able to remove the search box, change the grid size and much more.

Without knowing exactly which AOKP ROM you are running on your Galaxy S Plus I am unable to do the same thing as you ought to do. Search the ROM thread in your Dev forum and if you genuinely can't find the answer then post a question in your device's Q&A forum to ask there.
thanks, i didnt find answers for this but i'll try posting that question in i9001 section

Yet another thing VZW decided we did not need,
this will give you the option for EasyMode under the settings/ Personalize / Home Screen.
once on your new homescreen you can swipe left or right, left for quick contacts, and right to add quick apps.
just flash in recovery and enjoy

No but it did remove the icon from the dock and I had to put it back from the app drawer. It also seemed to disable the green notification on the messaging icon when a message arrives . I loaded it just to see what it was like, won't be going back on after next flash.

When I go into Settings and tap Device Maintenance, and then tap on the 3 dots to get Create Home Screen Shortcut, it says one already exists but I can't find it on any screen. How can I either locate the missing icon or create a new one somehow? Thanks.

If you're referring to the cluster of apps grouped under the label Samsung, then my answer is, "No".
That is what you're referring to, correct?
Ok, I found it in the apps drawer. However there is no option to move it to a home screen, only uninstall. How do I move the icon from the app drawer to the home screen?
