how to root at&t gs2

hey guys

i have no idea what im doing here so this is what im trying to do.

i like the phone and all but have a few things i want to tweak

1) the homescreen to have 5 dock icons, i have this now, i downloaded ADW launcher but i want to make the icons a little bit bigger

2) change the lockscreen

3)i want to use Go pro SMS for my messaging unless i can edit the stock one. i have this done but i want to change the icon from the gosms icon to a regular message icon but i also want it to show the notification (similar to the iphone)

Yes and no. Seems like you want an entirely new theme and/or a new ROM. You need to be rooted to do that, but you should probably see if there are any themes or ROMs out there that will do what you want first. Also maybe see if any other launchers out there will do what you want that maybe don't even need root.
