Arranging icons in the homescreen

A quick and maybe dumb question: Is there a way to arrange icons in the homescreen just by sliding one on top of the other, like the iPhone?
Thanks in advance!

Thats exactly what you do.
Press and hold the icon the drag it round to where you want it then let go.
Drag it down to the bin icon to remove it.
To place an icon on the home screen, go to the apps screen and press and hold the icon you want on the home screen. Only let go when you see the home screen appear.

Sorry if I haven't made myself clear, what I mean is if it's possible to drag an icon on top of another so they switch places.

as far as I know it is only possible in the TouchWiz App Launcher (when you are in the edit mode),
but you can't change places on the homescreen like on the iPhone. (not with standart launcher)

This was something I was surprised by as well... it's like having one of those puzzle sliders at times to get everything where I want it!

Indeed
Even more annoying to me is the fact, that folders don't close when the home button is pressed / an app is launched. I think that's quite irritating...Oo

What do you mean by the "menu bar"?

I guess he's talking about the bar at the bottom.
Yes, it's possible!
Press the Applications icon at the bottom, then press the menu button, press on edit, and you are now able to drag new icons to the bottom bar.

Thank you!
I gotta say... I REALLY, REALLY LOVE THIS PHONE!
After discovering this, I'm not gonna change my launcher yet, I got a paid version of LauncherPro, but i like the horizontal scrolling in the appdrawer.

You can set the appdrawer horizontal or vertical with launcherpro so you can still use it

()()()() Framework-res.apk mod

THIS THEME WORKS Perfect.. looks WAY better then stock...
as a result i will now be doing a lot of themeing for our devices... so let me know what you guys want...
EDIT: framework-res.apk DOWNLOAD ADDDED AT BOTTOM OF POST
THIS IS STILL BETA... NOT ALL GRAPHICS ARE FINISHED...
STILL NEED TO DO draw9patch...
the only mods i have done are graphic skkinning... anywhere i saw turqouise i turned it cyan blue...
the battery icon when normally green is now blue...
the background of the notification area is dark.. thinking of turning it black...
the turqouise toggles in the notification are are now cyan blue...
any where there is a button press is changed from turquiose to cyan blue
this is what it should look like...
compared to old style...

I just noticed.... with my framework ... the carrier name isn't displaying.... I assume its a glitch.... but lets call it afeature haha
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA Premium App

Haha definitely a feature. I'm going to give your framework a try when I get home. Got to research android though as this is my first android phone switching from the iPhone. I haven't used XDA since back in the days of WM 6.5.

Never mind the carrier is there... I have XML coding. Experience but does anybody know how to edit XML binary iN android..

Tough call, that could potentially be really nice... but could also easily be garish and cheap looking if the wrong colors are used. Maybe if the two colors are very similar (like navy and darkish blue) or borrow from the same colors already on the screen (like the cyan blue of the icons and a transparent dark grey from the notification bar)? I think that could potentially be good, but it's hard to picture in my head.
Thanks for snazzier look!

I know what you mean... I had this mod started ages before we had a way to make backups and restore... I hate the ui sooo much... haha... btw.... in my screenshots u see the matching dock and icons... I can throw you those files if you want it all to match... its with launcher pro...

That would be awesome. I should be able to use the icons with adw right? This is my first Android device, after switching from the iPhone. It feels great to be able to customize a device again. I used to be on XDA back in the days of WM 6.5.

Ah, I understand. IMHO you can't really go wrong. I'd probably pick solid black because I think it makes the scroll smoother, but the transparent looks nicer. The stock isn't my favorite but it doesn't really bother me too much either.
Your LP icons look nice with your tweaks. May I also have those files?

Using a file explorer that lets you mount and unmount.. copy the framework-res.apk into system/app and replace and remount. Then reboot

Does this work on v20p?

I haven't tried. But if the stock framework hasn't changed much from froyo to gb then it might.
Backup and give it a whirl

Customizing Dock Icons

Is it possible? I really like the stock Messaging app, but for ease of Emoji etc, I like to use Go SMS. Unfortunately it comes with a hideous stock icon, and trying to change it while keeping it in the dock is proving to be quite difficult.
Any ideas without running a third party launcher? I'm trying to keep the phone as light as possible.

Surprised this hasn't been answered yet. Anyway, it's fairly simple. You can only change your docked apps when you have the app drawer open. Simply open the app drawer first, then move the current app in the dock and drop it into the drawer. You can then move any other app from the drawer into its place. Hope that helps.

Sorry, but this doesn't really help me as I can't change the icon for Go SMS when it is in the dock. Using an icon switching app seems to only let me create a Go SMS shortcut with stock Messaging icon on a homescreen, not in the dock or app drawer, which is what I need

What ru using for widgets in your launcher?

The idea of using another launcher on the gear, really makes it worthwhile.
Those of you who are using a different launcher, what are some of the widgets you are using?

I'm sorry to ask such a basic question...but once you have Pie or UDN installed how do you lock the UCCW widget? Is it in the UCCW app or is it on the homescreen when you're looking at the widget? I really appreciate everyone's help!

I have 2 different screens set up in Nova and I change between them depending on if I'm at work or not. The one I use at work has Simple Calendar widget to show me my schedule as well as the time above it using Minimalistic Text widget.
The one I use when not at work is more minimal/stylish and just has a battery bar up the top and time in the middle. Both are Minimalistic Text widgets.
I also use LMT to give me a menu, home and back button when I swipe up from the bottom edge. I set the swipe zone to 1 pixel so you can't see it and you don't accidentally tap it when tapping icons in the dock.
I also set up the home button to toggle the dock in Nova. Before I did that, I found I would often accidentally turn the watch on with a motion and tap one of the dock icons if I was standing with my hands behind my back or arms crossed or something.

How do you get the Minimalistic Text widget setup on your Gear? I created a widget on my phone, then exported it, then moved it to my Gear, but can't get Minimalistic Text on my Gear to recognize it. Can't figure out how to her to the menu to Import it.
Any help appreciated.

I think you have to create/add a widget on your home screen first, then go into the Minimalistic Text preferences from the app drawer.
Select the widget you created, then from the menu options select import.
