Question changing defaults...

---

How does one change the 4 apps assigned at the bottom?

[phone, contacts, messaging, applications]

My brother downloaded Handcent and wants messaging to go to Handcent not the stock app.

Thanks

Change the ****ty TouchWiz interface

You cannot. The Epic4G has an older version of TouchWiz and does not allow it.

I recommend you install "AWD Launcher" or "LauncherPro". Both support that feature.

That's....lame...but alright thanks for the suggestion.

I'd suggest downloading ADW, lots of settings and you can get it to look like TouchWiz also.

An additional thing to consider, AMOLED screens suffer from "Burn-in". The most likely place it will happen is the status bar since it is always displayed. These other launchers have a setting that allows you to hide it (status bar), which will help.

Technically it would be more accurate to call it "Burn-out" but the burn-in term is carried over from CRT displays. The issue has a similar result. You will see a ghost of items that are on the screen for long periods.

Just download Handcent. When you hit the messaging icon at the bottom it will ask you if you want to use the stock app or Handcent (then you can check - remember this choice). Now whenever you hit the SMS icon (it will still appear to be the same...). It will open Handcent.

Tried it. Didn't work. Doesn't prompt me to select SMS client of choice. I even went into Application Mgmt and deselected Messenger as default. No go.

Any advice? Handcent is...er' was my fave SMS client.

Same thing happened to me. Handcent was the first app I downloaded, always use it, and I was never asked to choose a default.


Sad news on another front: The pre-release, advocate and seed devices were supposed to get the full version of Asphalt 5, and when I finally got around to downloading it today, it was the demo. I'm slightly miffed.
