Adding Apps to Bottom Dock

[djlee0314]

Just got my S3 and love it so far but this is driving me crazy. You know the apps that sit at bottom of phone by app launcher button, is there a way to customize what apps sit on that row. I already deleted the stock browser and messages and wanted to put other more frequent apps but can't find out how. Is it even possible? I can't even put those deleted apps back on that row so now I'm left with just the "phone" button

To clarify, I'm talking about the very bottom row of apps that don't move as you change home screens.

Just long press the icon and move them as you please. I would recommend downloading Nova Launcher, I think you would like it. I love it!

Yes.. It's all drag and drop.. You can drag the icons out from the dock to remove them (place them in the highlighted trashcan that appears OR you can add new apps to the dock by opening the app drawer (where all your app icons are) and you can drag them from the drawer into the dock... you need to long press on an app icon (2 seconds) and as you're holding onto the icon, drag it wherever you want.. onto a home screen or onto the dock.

There's also 3rd party launchers that you can use to change the appearance of the dock (more customizable) like "Nova Launcher" or "Apex Launcher"... two of my favorites.

Any significant difference between the two launchers?

I know how to move apps but phone won't let me put app in "main" dock. Using Apex launcher and loving it. Went with Apex Prime to get added functionality and to support developer. Highly recommend it!
