Help How to remove the messaging icon and replace with Chomp?

[mld89]

Hey,

I would like to use ChompSMS on my Galaxy Apollo on 2.2, however the stock messaging app sits on the bottom row of the screen and I can not find any way to remove it? Is it possible to replace that with ChompSMS?

Icon can be seen on this image:

I've tried long press and hold to remove but no luck.

Annoying to keep it there as it shows unread messages etc which obviously I would be using Chomp for this.

Thanks,
Matt

SOLVED:

Quite simple actually, I just wasn't aware this was possible.

Standard model has the TouchWiz interface or, TWLauncher

I installed LauncherPro:

& also installed Handcent SMS:

Now the first time clicking on the messaging icon on the bottom row, Launcher Pro asked what application to use, so I selected Handcent SMS.
