Stock Message icon to open Go SMS Pro

Hey guys,

So i got Go SMS pro and been searching everywhere how to change stock messaging app to open Go sms pro. I have Samsung Dart (Tmob) android 2.2. I went to app>>manage>>messaing app and there was no default there so i could not clear any defaults, therefore pressing on stock message icon will always open stock messaging (i successfully disabled notifications).

All i want to do is have the freedom of opening Go sms pro from my of my home screen. If I use it as a widget icon then i have to go to a specific screen to be able to use sms pro.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Sorry mate, there is no app drawer for me on this phone. All i have is my home screen and icon/shortcuts that go on that. Now i have 7 different home screens but i cannot have access of go sms pro icon that i put on, lets say, screen 1 on any other screen. I have to go to screen 1 to launch that icon.

Now there is a row (bottom of the screen) of 4 icons that stay there no matter which home screen I am on. Here they are from left to right: Dialer, contacts, message, menu.

when I long press on any icon on my home screen to move around, the bottom row of icons (dialer, contacts, message and menu) disappear and and a delete icon appears (in case i want to delete the selected icon). So, i cannot drag and drop go sms pro icon in that bottom row.

Now, I been reading a lot on different forums where people suggested that i can go settings>>app>>manage>>messaging application to clear any defaults. Then press the message icon from the bottom row and a message will appear and ask you to set default application for message where i can select sms pro. But for me, messaging application has no defaults under it so cannot clear anything.

Any idea?

 

thanks guys, Go Launcher is the answer. Its great. I can customize everything. thanks for both of you helps
