Tutorial - How to change the Droid Charge's dock icons

So you have a fancy new Droid Charge from Verizon with 4G LTE and you say, "You know what?  This is a great phone but I wish I could change the icons at the bottom of the screen."

Image care of phonearena.com

I came across this when I got tired of getting an icon update from both the Messaging and Handcent icons.  Well, here is how you do it.

  1. Click on your Applications soft icon in the bottom right of the screen
  2. If you have your applications in List View, then click on the hard Menu button on the bottom right of the face of the phone
  3. Select Grid View
  4. Click the hard Menu button again
  5. Select Edit
  6. Now you can long press your icons up above and drag them into the dock (or menu bar or primary icon bar or whatever it is called)
  7. When done hit the Home soft button in the dock
Hope that works for you!  Enjoy.

Worked for me. Too bad I'm still using a Droid Charge in the first place...thanks for the post, though. Entirely unobvious.

Thanks for the tip - this is insanely obtuse. Whoever designed it either didn't want you to change those dock icons, or has a really twisted sense of user experience.
