[Q] messaging app problem - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My epic froyo mesaging app icon doesn't show up in the homescreen bar with contacts applications and phone so now I only have those three in homescreen.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

What launcher are you using

If you have stock launcher do the following:
- bring up your application list
- hit menu then edit
- drag the message icon from your application list to the quick launch bar
- hit menu then save
You can customize the quick launch bar with froyo

Anybody notice that it's not quite as responsive as, say, TouchWiz?
Like there's a tiny delay when sliding screens..
How can I add an application into the home screen folder? I cannot seem to drag it directly into the folder.
Yeah I haven't really found a launcher that's as responsive as touchwiz... MAYBE launcher pro but I think touchwiz is the smoothest and most responsive. If only it had all those other features =\

Touch the app in the apps drawer, then drag it to the bottom of the page all the homes screens open, simply drop to required screen.
To change dock apps, touch and drag them off the dock drag new app on.
Apps in the dock, can have a second app added by long touching one and selecting change gesture, this enables your choice of app when you (not touch) slide your finger up the icon.

Open the apps drawer, touch the menu button, choose settings, choose scrolling orientation, choose horizontal loop..
Can Golauncher create shortcuts to specific Settings screens etc like LauncherPro+?

doesn't work. To clarify, the screen is already packed, with 16 folders. If I just drop the app onto the page, it says operation failed becoz the page is full. I need to drop the app into a specific folder but it doesn't allow me to.

That wouldnt work as that would only be for horizontal orientation, cylinder doesn't show when using vertical orientation

Move the folder to an empty screen, then drop the app where you want it and then put it into the folder you want. Yes?
I have a couple of questions (sorry, new to GO Launcher) -
Can you boot straight into GO Launcher..???
Also, is there anyway of stopping the main menu button going back to the default Samsung menu..?

I installed home switcher, set GO as the default and then rebooted and it booted into the default launcher ?
Also when I go into Go Launcher press the main menu button it still goes back to the main samsung launcher?

Start home switcher, in the bottom left corner click 'clear default' it will take you to another screen, at the right hand side of the screen look for 'Clear defaults' click it.
Now when you press the home button you will get the choice, before selecting check the 'Set as default' box then select Go launcher EX.
Note; to return another launcher as default repeat above...

No more menu button, so how do you...

So Google's axing the Menu button and encouraging developers to do the same, and we know moving forward, a lot of OEMs will switch to three button, or buttonless phones.
My question is, how would users, and how do G.Nex owners access this menu from the home screen:
(That's the menu that pops up when you hit the menu button on the home screen on a Nexus S)
Bottom right... The one with three dots. That's our menu button for the Galaxy nexus.

[Q] Apex: how to cancel TableUI mode? (solved)

i was playing around with Apex Launcher and decided to try its TabletUI.
but once i enabled it, i found no way to call up the Apex settings to cancel this mode.
now im left with a few blank screens (as i have no shortcuts added yet), no dock, and just the 3 virtual buttons (which do not help)..
any one can enlighten me? tia..
Press the menu button then apex settings .. or find the apex icon in the app drawer

which menu button? i only got "Back", "Home" and "App List" buttons..
i tried tap, long tap, double-tap on these 3 buttons, and none of the actions can bring me to the apex settings..
when i pressed "Apex icon" in the app drawer, i was returned to the home screen again..
Hit the 3-dot menu button in the app drawer. Nova has a menu button on the home screen search bar

Yep, 3 dot menu in app drawer --> apex settings --> homescreen --> its near the bottom
thx for ur replies.. i got similar answer from apex thread..
forgot to mention that my way of entering the app drawer is by clearing apex data and return to stock launcher..
when in tablet mode, i cant find the "menu" (6-dots) button in the home screen..
and i figured out why i couldnt see the button that enters app drawer.. cos its on the google search bar!
and before turning on the tablet ui, i had disabled the option "Show persistent search bar" in apex settings..
that pretty much ended every possible way of returning to the apex settings when in tablet mode (along with disabling tap, double-tap & long-tap actions)..

Double tap the home screen you should see a menu. Or just long press the home screen and add the Apex actions /Apex settings".
thx for all the replies, and to prevent others from repeating my mistake, here is a summary of what i did (and what should be avoided)..
(1) disable "Desktop double tap" & "Desktop long press" actions in Apex Settings -> Behavio(u)r settings
(2) disable "Show persistent search bar" in Apex Settings -> Homescreen settings
(3) enable "Use tablet UI mode" in Apex Settings -> Homescreen settings
this series of settings will effectively make ur N7 stuck in tablet mode, and the only option now is "Notification bar -> Settings -> Apps -> Apex Launcher -> Clear data"

is there such a key in nexus 7?!

No dedicated menu button

I found there is apps I need to press menu to get to a screen but there is no menu or dots... For example holo launcher HQ I have to press menu in order to hide apps but I can't! Is there a workaround? Thanks. I tried googling but I don't think I am phrasing my issue right.
Sent from my Nexus 7
Touch and hold?
Sorry, no new info to add.
One example is in holo launcher HQ in the app drawer. I'm supposed to press menu to enter 'hide apps' ....can't touch and hold there. There's no way to add a menu button to the onscreen nav bar?

Cancel this dumb question. I discovered the settings in the launcher settings. Its optimized for the on screen buttons, oops

[THEME] [GUIDE] Get stock android look on One UI

This guide will show you how to theme your One UI 2.0+ Device to look and feel like stock android/pixel look.
THIS GUIDE WORKS ON ALL ONE UI DEVICES HOWEVER IT WAS TESTED ON ONE UI 2.5.
I have now created 2 sections "Basic" or "Extra's".
YOU DO NOT NEED ROOT!
PRE REQUISITES:
A Samsung device using One UI 2.0+
An internet connection
Ability to download apps
The Basic Stuff:
STEP 1: [VOLUME PANEL]
Download this from PlayStore:
Volume Styles - Customize your volume panel https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tombayley.volumepanel
Open the app, at the top right press "Start". This will ask you for some accessibility settings, after you've done this, go back to the app and select "Android", you may have to scroll down an inch or two. After this step you can test your volume keys and see it it worked. Congratulations you now have a stock android volume panel!
For darkmode users: After you've followed the steps above, press "Style Settings" found at the bottom of the app, find the "Auto Dark mode" option and toggle it. The panel should now match your darkmode settings.
STEP 2: [STATUS BAR QUICK SETTINGS]
Download this from PlayStore:
Power Shade: Notification Panel And Quick Settings
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treydev.pns
After the app has downloaded, open it, when you first launch the app it will prompt you for some accessibility settings like the last app did, after you've completed this go back to the app and select "Heads Up" and turn OFF "Colourize Pop-Up Badge" and turn ON "Disable Pop-Up Badge".
Now scroll down and open your quick settings and check it out
Feel free to customize this app to your liking, I'm just leaving this as the bare minimum to get you up and running with a stock look.
STEP 3: [LAUNCHER SETUP]
Download this icon pack:
Pixel Q Icon Pack
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.pt.iconpack.pixel_q
(I think this pack is the best FREE icon pack for a stock look, if you have any other suggestions please leave them below!)
No need to open this app.
Download Customized Pixel Launcher:
Customized Pixel Launcher
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.whatau.cpl
Press your home button, you will get a prompt asking you which launcher to choose, select CPL (Customized Pixel Launcher). Press and hold the homescreen until a menu pops up with various options at the bottom, press "Icon Pack" and select the icon pack we just downloaded. This took me a few tries as the icon pack kept going back to the system default, but it eventually worked after a few attempts of reselecting it. Feel free to customize this launcher to your liking, however for this guide I will only be changing the grid size for home and desktop. So press and hold the homescreen again and select: "Home Settings" now go into home screen and change the grid size to 5x6, I found this the best on my Galaxy S9, however it may be different to yours. I chose the same on desktop and left it at that.
Screenshots will be added soon.
Extra Tweaks:
These tweaks will only work on One UI Devices.
NAVIGATION BAR:
I haven't tested this but it should work, if it doesn't please update me in the comments.
Open galaxy store, search for "Good Lock" and download the app. (I've heard stuff about this being locked in some countries, it most likely is, I'll try to test it ASAP!).
After you have Good Lock downloaded open it and select "NavStar". This will bring up the NavStar download page from the Galaxy Store. Download it and return to Good Lock. Once its downloaded launch it again through Good Lock and toggle it on. Find the style you like, you can even make your own, soon I will be making my own pixel icons and uploading them to here for everyone to use since the built in pixel icons are kinda trash. Have fun
REMEMBER TO HIT THANKS!
I WILL BE ADDING MORE WAYS SOON!
