If you pin it to a home screen or to your dock, simply long press until a small window opens next to the app icon. Tap on "edit" to get the Edit Shortcut window to open. Once it does, tap on the icon to select a picture or an icon pack. After selecting a new icon, select "save" and you're done.

WOW That was so cool.
Thanks

Someone said that double tapping is not working on sgs but im gonna try it
Just tried works,
How to:
Once downloaded from market, in your app draw open up itching thumb and configure it then press the home button and select it a your default launcher and on a double tap it will launch the task manager
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Double tapping options really doesn't work well on the SGS.
But!
Single tapping options works perfectly, and I find it's actually more useful. Go into options for Itching Thumb, and set:
Double Click for Activation to OFF
Inertia to Medium
Make sure High Quality Previews is on
Then you can bring it up with just a single tap on home. To get to your normal home screen, just tap home a second time. The card layout works really well, and you can put shortcuts on the bottom bar - just hold down on it and it will pop up.
This is now my 'homescreen' of choice - really efficient!
Does it work if you have Launcher Pro ?
with launcher pro works not very well when press the home button

Dock Apps

Hi guys
I would like to know if it's possible to change the default dock apps....
I would like to replace the message app with chompsms' Is it possible without replacing launcher
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.
Resets
If I change my dock apps, it resets when I restart my phone.
Anyone with a solution?
Thanks
is there a way to mod and put a folder instead of 1 app ?

Anybody notice that it's not quite as responsive as, say, TouchWiz?
Like there's a tiny delay when sliding screens..
How can I add an application into the home screen folder? I cannot seem to drag it directly into the folder.
Yeah I haven't really found a launcher that's as responsive as touchwiz... MAYBE launcher pro but I think touchwiz is the smoothest and most responsive. If only it had all those other features =\

Touch the app in the apps drawer, then drag it to the bottom of the page all the homes screens open, simply drop to required screen.
To change dock apps, touch and drag them off the dock drag new app on.
Apps in the dock, can have a second app added by long touching one and selecting change gesture, this enables your choice of app when you (not touch) slide your finger up the icon.

Open the apps drawer, touch the menu button, choose settings, choose scrolling orientation, choose horizontal loop..
Can Golauncher create shortcuts to specific Settings screens etc like LauncherPro+?

doesn't work. To clarify, the screen is already packed, with 16 folders. If I just drop the app onto the page, it says operation failed becoz the page is full. I need to drop the app into a specific folder but it doesn't allow me to.

That wouldnt work as that would only be for horizontal orientation, cylinder doesn't show when using vertical orientation

Move the folder to an empty screen, then drop the app where you want it and then put it into the folder you want. Yes?
I have a couple of questions (sorry, new to GO Launcher) -
Can you boot straight into GO Launcher..???
Also, is there anyway of stopping the main menu button going back to the default Samsung menu..?

Start home switcher, in the bottom left corner click 'clear default' it will take you to another screen, at the right hand side of the screen look for 'Clear defaults' click it.
Now when you press the home button you will get the choice, before selecting check the 'Set as default' box then select Go launcher EX.
Note; to return another launcher as default repeat above...

Message preview and call preview

I couldn't find where i can turn this off. Can someone help me out please.

Open the menu of your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and in the next step tap on settings. Scroll over to the “applications” section and tap the button with “Messages”. In the next menu scroll down again to “Notifications” and tap on it. You will now find a section called “Preview Message”.
You will find two checkboxes. One with “Lock screen” and one with “Status bar”. Delete the check marks in it to deactivate the preview message on the lock screen and on the status bar.
In the future you wont get any preview messages displayed on your lock screen or at your status bar, when a new sms message arrives.
I'm not sure about "call preview" though.

Not sure, but I think what you're looking for is in the phone app. Go there, hit menu. Tap "Call" then "call-related pop-ups." Not sure if that's what you're looking for or not.

Dragging Smart Select into Upper Text Box

I just got my note today and was excited to try out the smart select feature. Unfortunately, if you try and drop what you've selected into a text box on the top of the screen, the delete option gets in the way and doesn't allow you to finish dragging. Any work around for this?

What are you trying to do exactly and what app is that?

When you hover the Spen over the screen and click the button, smart select is one of the options. You can crop an area on the screen and it will do text recognition. It then produces a floating bubble that you can drag and drop into a text field; however, once you start dragging the floating bubble, the top of the screen becomes the place to drag and delete the bubble, just like dragging an icon to delete on your home screen. So, having the delete box on the top of the screen renders the feature useless for any text field on the top of the screen.

Ah I see.
I believe you are misunderstanding how to use the smart select feature.
That icon is not text, it is a collection of selections you took. To turn a selection into text there is a little T in the corner of the selection. (It can do fun things if your selection is phone numbers, addresses etc)
If I assume correctly you were trying to use smart select in place of highlighting copy and paste into a search bar.
If this is true then you can just highlight normally hold spen button drag across text you want and a bar with options will appear one of them is a search option that will auto search the selected text.
Some apps don't support spen highlight feature ex. firefox in which case you can highlight traditionally with a tap and hold spen(or finger) on screen and it will display the selection arrows for you to select, an options bar to do the same as above will appear.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't notice that little "T" after doing the smart select. Wish I was still able to drag it in, but the copy and paste thing works too.
