Change Apps in Home Screen Bottom Dock

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!

No problem

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

TouchWiz4 for Gingerbread Tab (Deodexed only) Updated 05/13

First off thanks to everyone from the various SGS forums for this, especially to fear2142.
This is the Touchwiz4 Launcher from the SGS2 ported to work with Galaxy Tabs running a DeOdexed Gingerbread based build (or latest Overcome based on GB).
Changes I made for the Tab:
Fixed XML's to support larger screen
Adjust size for workspace/edit screens
Set Launcher workspace to 6 rows/ 6 columns (fits good)
Set appdrawer to 6x6 layout as well
Adjusted to allow 5 shortcuts on bottom bar
How to install?
This is a CWM3 package, save to sd card, use recovery to install (choose zip from sdcard etc)
You must clear your dalvik cache after install.
Reboot, clear the application data for twlauncher to ensure it displays properly.
This is currenty setup for 240 dpi, I'm working on a version for 182dpi as I type.
*UPDATE*
Alright, I've attached the 182 version. Unfortunatly I just cannot get it to accept a grid any larger than 8x8.. though I suppose that's still 64 spaces right?
Known Issues
Screen rotation is not currently working

Nice one mate!

Nice work! The screen rotation does not work for me.

Nice! Can't wait for 182 version

Awesome, just what I was waiting for
Much appreciated!
[EDIT] Could you create a zip for restoring back though incase we have issues/bugs etc?

How do I change it so my dockbar icons, apps and message, do not cover up two seperate apps on every page in my drawer?
I have tried both your zips and both have these same issues.

Yeah good call, I neglected to mention that screen rotation is
not working at the moment..
To change the apps on the dockbar, open the application menu and do "menu key" and "edit".

know where I can get those (digital clock weather clock etc)?

You're going to need to add screenshots I think, cause I have no idea what you mean. None of my apps are covered by the dockbar shortcuts.
Are you running at 240 or 182 dpi like the OP says?

Hey can you share a link to the files for the SG2 clock and weather apps?

it's on the i9000 themes and apps forum. Quick search will take you there.

Oh great.. Thanks for that- going now
I thought they were somehow modded to work on the Tab
I'm going to give them a try now

What is the i9000? Is it the Nexus S?
Im not good with phone codes.
Edit- Ignore my stupidity, i found it I knew it was a Samsung but couldnt remember which one haha.
Couldnt get the digital clock to install.

[Request] widget to open phone log

Sorry if this the wrong forums.
I'd really like a shortcut to phone log I can add to the static part of the screen.
I hardly ever use the phone to dial, just calling old numbers, is there any way to get this?
(Yes I realize it's incredibly lazy not to want to open phone and tap the log section, but that's why I got android, it makes it posible to skip unnessesary steps like this.)
Very happy if someone can help or know an app that does this?
Thanks

EASY!

Howdy Dude,
if you are running ADW you can.
1. long press on desktop
2. select add custom shortcut
3. press pick activity
4. press activities
5. scroll down to contacts
6. expand contacts, then find
7. call log(.callslist.RecentCallsListActiviy)
8. press ok and the shortcut will be on one of your home screens
it's prety cool it doesn't show the 4 buttons at the botom just the list on the screen.
you can do this on most launchers from the market i think. i use adw tho so yeah.
hope that helps.
Pvy.

Sorry, forgot to say, I'm on wolfbreaks 3.9.0 as of right about now.
You think it's posible to use adw with this rom?
Thanks
Edit, it does and it's amazing, I can even get a 100% clean home screen, very happy with this, thanks a lot!

[Q] Can Mini Apps be edited/changed?

Hello All,
Just a quick question... can the mini apps at the bottom be changed to use other apps? I called Sammy tech support and they said I'd have to check w/Google since it's built into the ICS OS. I find this odd because I've checked other tabs at Worst (Best) Buy and they didn't have this mini-app tray.
I want to use other apps in its place. I wonder why when you view the mini apps you'll see an "edit" icon, however, when you click on it, everything is greyed out so you cannot edit or switch-out the mini-apps.
Thanks!

I believe this is a TouchWiz feature, and my understanding is that you cannot use other apps. Only the ones provided by Samsung.

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that lets you add and remove the existing quick apps. Also, it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility that someone could develop a quick app and it would appear, but I bet there isn't a whole bunch of people building these quick apps.

+1. I think your take on this is as accurate as it can get.

Give Apex launcher a try if you dislike touchwiz. I can't stand touchwiz.

Mini Apps is built into the status bar, not the launcher. it will always be there.

Hate it...i wish i could get rid of the miniapps, sometimes it pressed accidentally and bug my gaming time

If Olny some1 develope mini app for the notes that would be great for ppl who read and like to write quick notes, If Only....

install gmd gesturecontrol to hide the status bar
You wont press any mini apps accidently then. Also when you press edit you double click on a mini app to add/remove it.

You can remove them, they annoyed me so I got rid by following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692173
Obviously make a back-up before deleting the suggested files if you feel you may want thm back at some point (not that I did )!

Grab and icon and hold it on the right side of your right most page. It will create a new one.

They are actually unlimited. You can add as many as you like with the same method.

Install a custom launcher like Nova, Apex etc etc and you`ll have more homescreens. more options and also nicer and smaller icons if you want (Play Store).
