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.

Default Resets

If I change my dock apps, it resets when I restart my phone.
Anyone with a solution?
Thanks
