(Q) Change Dock Icons - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Does anyone know if there's a way to change the dock icons on TW4? I could've swore that I saw it in one of the review videos but can't figure it out. Thanks in advance.

1) Click on the app drawer
2) Press the menu capacitive button
3) Press edit
4) Find the icon you want in your dock, press and hold as you drag it over the icon you wish to replace (in the dock).
5) Press the back capacitive button
You cannot change the app drawer icon but you can change the other 3.

Also to when you do that it will change your app sorting. To go back to alphabetically sorted hit menu in the app list and hit "view type"

Replace home screen icons?

OK, so I'm willing to be the token newbie because this is driving me nuts. I want to replace the homescreen text msg icon with GO SMS PRO like I did on my Epic 4g. Anyone spare me a sarcasm laden solution?
Thanks!

Do u mean on the dock? It took me a while to figure it out too. Go your app drawer, make sure it's set on grid..and then drag the app you want to be in your dock down to where you want it
Go to apps
Press menu, Select grid
press menu, select edit (or customize, can't recall which command is displayed)
Swipe right/left between screens to locate desired icon
Long press desired icon and drag ic on to home screen icon area

[Q] How to delete folder?

I was wondering if someone might be able to help me out.
I was in the APP window and I accidentally created a folder. The folder now sits with all my other apps and I can't figure out how to delete it.
Can anyone point me to how I can get rid of it?
I am not rooted, in case that helps to know.
Try pressing on the folder (tap and hold) for a second or two. You'll see three icons appear at the top of your screen, the rightmost looks like a trash can; drag your folder to this trash can.

Thanks. I tried that earlier and it acts much like the trash can for your home screen and widgets. It doesn't actually the delete the folder from the APP screens.
Any other ideas?
Ah, my apologies. I should have paid more attention when reading your post.
When you're in the Apps screen hit the "Menu" button (haptic button left of the home button) and from there select "Edit". You'll then be able to drag the folder from the Apps screen to the trash can at the top of the display. Hit the "Save" and you'll be good to go.

XDA Premium App

Hi..I installed xda premium app on my HOX..And i can't make a new topic cause i don't have menu button on the bottom of application.. Is there any update or something?
What button do you normally use to open in-app menus ?
It's weird that HTC just put in Back, Home, and Recent Apps (I use the "Menu" button all the time, why would they make that hard to find ?). Is there any way to configure those ? Do any of those buttons perform the function with a long press (my home button will do recent apps on long press) ?
Now i will show ya for example i use 24sata application..

I Googled it and found this : http://www.androidcentral.com/htcs-fix-menu-button-issue-welcome-not-very-elegant
You can set the "Recent Apps" button to function as a Menu button on long press or vice-versa.
Thank you!
Bro... button savior app is available on play store...
Try it for more keys...
Awesome

Are you serious?
Can you please it make it more civilized? It is the only app I have with over 100 installed with such an amateurhour obnoxious directory.

Question about home button

Does anybody know if its possible to program the home so a double tap brings up messaging and a long press brings up Google now? If so how could I do that?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
If you are running stock TW then the short answer would be no. If you are using a custom launcher like Apex or Nova there are settings in the launcher behavior section where you can tweak to perform actions.
yeah, it's impossible on touchwiz,
I don't know about the customizability of the button on launchers, since i don't use them

If you hold down the menu button it'll bring up Google now. Unless you're in an app then it'll pop up the search engine. You're on your own on the messaging one tho lol. Double taping home takes you to S. Voice.

[Q] Settings\Display\Home touch buttons - Settings ???

What happened to the Settings Button that you could add to the Buttons across the Home Screen "Settings\Display\Home touch buttons" Settings Button "III" (line are sideways and not straight up)
This button is not available with the G4, I have apps that utilize that button.
Does anyone have any info on this or how you might be able to add this??
Thank you
Try holding down the recent button.

I tried what you had said, that take you to the Phone Settings Menu. I have always in the past used Enhanced Email for my email program. With that app installed there is no way to get into the settings menu. I think that there are a few other apps that you can't get into the Setting Menu for too, but that is my main one.
That's the "info" icon that you are describing. In Android 5.1, this was replaced by the 3 dots icon, typically located on the top right of the app that you're trying to access the menu on.

Yep, holding down the recent apps button will give you the menu option in every app.
