[Q] Bottom menu icon replacement - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Does anybody know how to change the apps in the bottom menu? I dont use that standard email app and prefer to use the gmail app but cant figure out how to make changes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Go to applications -> menu button (first one from left of four lightup on bottom of your phone)-> edit. Now you can move icons from bottom menu

Hit the Application button, then Menu. Hit View Type and select Customizable Grid. Then hit Menu again and select Edit. You can now change the dock icons to whatever you want.

Ah great thanks so much. Worked perfectly.

Wow nice. Found this topic on accident but I am really glad I did.
I didn't know you could move your bottom apps around.

create a shorcut of the contacts, messages and phone on one of the screens, then long press and drag and drop on the menu in the order to replace the game icons.

No when you long press the shortcut the "remove" icon appears at the bottom,so it cant be dragged onto the menu,you can only remove the message icon on the desktop.

I hope this question was not treated earlier.
Is it possible to change the icons on bottom of the screen?
Yes...it is possible. go to app list, press menu (left soft key) and edit. Now you can change the bottom icons.

Thanks! I was helping a friend who had this problem!
Wow, thx. Didn't know this was possible either.
If you want completely different icons from the default for each app, you can use Zeam Launcher together with Desktop Visualiser. That's how I get 6 round icons on the dock.

[Q] Customize Long Press Home?

I've noticed that if I long press the home button, a small circle appears surrounding the left corner of the screen. On the circle is a link to Google Search which is displayed as the word Google. My question is whether I can customize app links that come up on that circle and how to do that.

Is there a mod that allows that to change? I know some developers have been working on a mod to change the app choices in the quick launch menu that comes up when the S-pen is removed. Is anyone aware of a similar mod for adding new choices to the long press on home?

Nova Launcher lets you change it. (It doesn't - silly me)

[Q] Hotspot app missing

Is it just me or is the hotspot app icon missing from the apps tray? I did a factory reset and it still not there. I can start it from the settings menu but i would like a shortcut on the start screen at least. Any ideas?

I am rooted. My search for notification icon or shortcut for hotspot in xda has come up short. If anyone has a link to a fix, that would be appreciated.

1. Open up SQLite Editor - Select the Apps tab on top and scroll down until you see Settings Storage and click it.
2. Click on settings.db
3. Click on system
4. Click on the search icon on top right
5. Type in the word notification in the Filter Value field and click ok
6. Once the results load up, tap on notification_panel_active_app_list (should be 3rd from the bottom result) and click on the pencil icon on top to edit
7. In the Value field, you'll see all your toggles listed. All you have to do is add the word WiFiHotspot right after “Wifi”<-- just like that with a semi colon right after. Make sure there's no space after the semi colon. Once you add WiFiHotspot, click the save button.
8. Close SQLite editor and reboot your phone and verify

[Q] Choose phonebook source?

Hi all. I can't seem to find where to set the default address book to pull up when using the phone app. All I see is all contacts at the top which is definitely not what I want. Thanks!

Go to the people app, on the bottom right tap on the 3 dots and you will see an option to choose which contacts are displayed.
Hope this helps.
