The ROMS that have the start menu sitting on the bottom and not the default top is there away to change them back to the top?

The roms that have the Start soft-key at the bottom are WM6.5.3(or5) builds (e.g, 23XXX, 28XXX)...and the bottom is the default position for the Start key on those builds.
WM6.5 builds (e.g., 21XXX) have the Start Key on the top.
Many chefs cook versions based on both types of WM builds.
Ok ty for the quick reply

Excuse me, used 6.1 rom before. When switch to 6.5.3, I cannot find the tasks icon in the top right corner. Please anyone know how to switch the different running program? Thanks in advance.

Hello guys,
I see ROMs and ppl talk about 6.5.3... what is new in this version? I saw some pictures they look the same as 6.5.1!
6.5.3 has the start menu button on the bottom of the screen

I'm confused as well.
WM 6.5.3 is anything from build 28002 onwards, but the bottom Start Menu was present WAY before that build. Which UI elements are new in build 28002-28014 that weren't present before? Wikipedia cites "a more finger-friendly user interface, support for gestures, and an improved address book", but these features were also present in previous builds.
Apparently the new keyboard is a feature of 6.5.3, but I've yet to hear mention of it in any of the 68002 - 68011 ROM threads I've visited...

I think the 6.5.1 has already the start menu button on the bottom of the screen, so this hasnt changed since then....
As i can see from photos, 6.5.1 have the Start button on top and 6.5.3 on the bottom of the screen... I Prefer 6.5.1 ... The start button on the bottom is ugly...
6.5 (build 21k) has the Start menu button on top. 6.5.1 (build 23k+) had it on bottom already, so BOTH 6.5.1 and 6.5.3 (28k) has it on bottom!
Dear friends,
for an unknown reason I cannot access my " Settings" whatever you call it from the below right hand corner of the screen as it used to be, it's no longer there. The only other option of getting the phone settings is from on top of the screen which I do not like. Thanks for your help.

In ICS Android no longer has the menu button. Instead, apps now use the action bar. Any overflow from said bar now displays as 3 dots, which include actions such as settings.
Apps that haven't been updated to the new API's will display the 3 dots next to the multi-task button.
However, some custom roms allow you to persistently add the menu button to the navigation bar.
So, the short answer to your question would be to flash a custom rom.
Better get used to hitting the 3 dots, as Google is intent on phasing out the menu button
If you install a custom rom you can add the menu as a soft key

Thanks but I have always had the Menu Bar since when I bought it and there is no software upgrade up till now.
So just wondering if it's possible to make all menus open in the bottom or bottom left corner. Example, when I press my menu key in Gmail the menu opens at the top right of the screen where it's hard to reach during one handed use. I'd like all my menus to open bottom left so I can use my phone with one hand. I've tried hybrid settings but both phone/phablet modes don't seem to change that behavior.
Thanks

Personally I have never seen a menu open anywhere else other than the top right, with a few rare exceptions. Hopefully someone else has more knowledge on this to help you.
I have an S22 with Android 13. Posts on the web say that if I swipe down twice to get to Settings, there should be an "edit" button in the bottom left corner where the settings shortcuts can be set up. I have no "edit" button? What am I missing?
Thanks
It's in the upper right. After pulling down twice click the three dots (ellipse) and you will see edit buttons.

Many thanks for the pointer but I still don't see the settings shortcut view that allows the tiles or the other buttons that should appear at the bottom of the screen.
Thanks
Are you talking about rearranging the settings menu?
Not exactly. I have been looking at a number of Android 13 reviews that show one of the features as being a tile view for quick access to favourite settings. I get the normal settings view but can't find the tile view.
