How to open Apps menu? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Take for eg FB and Dolphin browser.
On my M7, there were 3 dot menu button to open settings for both of them... Here on FB there is a way, Yes, but not that simple.... And for Dolphin, couldn't open settings.... Any suggestions please.

Facebook = Press the 3 horizontal lines, then scroll to bottom and select "App Settings". Only way to do it, blame Facebook for not including a easier menu.
Dolphin = Use Chrome.

So, the phone doesn't have a menu button?
Dolphin is the best browser I have ever tried on android, wouldn't change to Chrome
To change the wallpaper in Whatsapp you need to open a conversation and then press the menu button to display the option and choose "wallpaper", how do you do that then?
Edit: I was reading an article and I found this:
"Google Now can be accessed just as on Nexus and Motorola devices, and extra buttons like "Menu" can easily be tacked onto the bar by apps."
I don't have the phone yet (I just bought it yesterday and I'm waiting for the delivery) so I'm not sure what that means, but once I get the phone I'll check

If the app doesn't meet android guidelines, an extra button will be added to the bottom:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Quite a cool solution to be honest.

Dolphin - just hold down on the round dolphin symbol that appears on the browser, lower-left corner.......it will give you a few more round things, the one on the right will be the settings, hit that then exit.
Best Browser.

Thanks @ycats... I like Dolphin, better than chrome...

Bottom softbar blocking java apps

For some reason, and this is only after I upgraded to kavana's 6.1 ROM, a few java apps are being cut off by the bottom bar. The first two I've noticed so far as jmIRC and Virca. The text is cut off by the bottom softbar and is not visable until other people (or yourself) types about 4 more lines of text. This is really annoying and makes the app pretty much unusable since you can't see what people are typing until other people start typing things as well. I'll see if I can upload a screenshot from my phone sometime today.
I have a similar issue with the GMail application. When I try to use the options, the bottom softbar blocks the pop up windows for commands, and I'm unable to use it properly.
Here is the picture of my screen when trying to use the app. There is probably 3 or 4 more lines of text that you cannot see for the bottom bar.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I noticed you were using that crappy irc client, i reccomend zsIrc, google it and get the zip not the cab, as the cab won't install, also its for ppc so ya can't set anything up in the menus, but there is a .ini file that is fairly simple to edit and set up all your settings..
good luck.
It's to do with the version of jbed on the phone there is a thread about Google Java app that says about this

At the top of the message there is text with yellow background that you can tap to make the email scrollable horizontally.

D'oh!
Thanks
Is there a way to set that up where I can always scroll right.
Seems like the way people would want it to be
One way I can think would be to use Vogue's central button to scroll right. Haven't tried out in an email, but works elsewhere.

Nah, I just gave her a try, and unless I clicked the Tap to scroll it just went to the next message.
Oh well no biggie I guess, thanks for trying.

[Q] How to customize icons for adw ex?

i dunno how to. I don't wanna use whole themes, just the icons.
I don't remember where its somewhere in the vibrant forums but to customize the icons you can use ninjamorph. They had a guide in the forums there.

Download da theme with icons you want to. Use after that go to your home screen and press on da icon n press edit then just press the pic of the icon and change it I don't know if you can costomize the ones in da drawer though
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
You can download pictures off the web, any size, drag an aplication to your home screen, long press, click edit, now a screen your homescreen will show a dialogue, select the icon on the left
now you get the option to select a picture, crop a picture or pic one from an ADW icon pack
I personally prefer cropping and selecting pictures, I've made my screen look like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Thanks.
I ended up not using a dock on my home screen.
I use swipe up to open app drawer, home key to make a call, and long press search key to txt msg.
Desktop VisualizeR
There is also Desktop VisualizeR. You can pick what icon you want to use and then associate what app you want to go with that icon.

[Q] Chrome Settings Button

Ok so I haven't noticed this when I got my mobile (I bought it recently and I froze Chrome that came by default since I generally use Dolphin) but I have no settings button in my Chrome browser. There's only the tab switch button and that's it, no 3 dots in there. I searched around and found that this usually happens when your phone has a hardware menu button but hey we don't have one. I'm using this app All in one Gestures instead of the soft keys (I hid those by adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in build.prop). Could this be the cause of my issues?
Anyone knows how I can make those 3 dots appear inside Chrome tab view too since this is the only place I don't have them?
Example in the 2 pictures below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Edit: Ok so it seems qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 is the problem. Once I went back with this Chrome displays the 3 dot menu. Now my question remains the same how can I make Chrome display the 3 dot menu since this app is the only one that doesn't display them? I tried Xposed 3 dot module and it didn't work, I tried App Settings module to enable legacy menu for Chrome only and didn't work, I tried using another app to hide the softkeys (GMD Auto Hide SoftKeys) and it doesn't work (Chrome doesn't display 3 dots). Growing a bit desperate here. I conclude that I have to modify Chrome in some way to show those 3 dots (I haven't found any option to do that in chrome://flags/ like in the first picture I posted above). Any help/ideea is welcome.
Ok so 59 views and no ideea/solution to have softkeys hidden and also the 3 dots button in Chrome (it only happens in Chrome as i said)?

Question Fold³ and Samsung Internet.

Hi All.
Has anyone using the Samsung Internet Browser managed to set the url Browser to be at the bottom of the page on their Fold³ ?
I'm also looking to move the Samsung Internet Browser menu tabs that show after the url bar to the bottom if it's possible.
I've seen the guide saying on the Samsung Internet Browser go into Settings, Layout and Menu and the option to move the url to the bottom is there. This is missing on my version.
https://www.androidcentral.com/how-m...ternet-browser
My Samsung Internet Browser is version 16.0.6.23
I've also checked out the Samsung Internet Browser Beta and it's not there either.
You need to use Samsung internet Beta which you can find on the Play Store
It appears the browser url will only show at the bottom on the outer screen and not the inner screen on the Fold ³
I've sent some feedback to Samsung via the Members app.
i removed the Samsung internet Bloatware and use Chrome dev or chrome beta as my favorite browser
I actually moved from chrome to samsung internet. For galaxy phones it works well.
Just FYI the font color you've chosen does not have good contrast if the page is set to dark. See below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thank you for your observation 94b20gsr
I haven't changed anything apart from chosen Dark Mode on the phone and in the Google options at the bottom of it's pages.
The post looks fine on my Fold³.
May I ask what you advise?
Update.
It appears the url Browser will only move to the bottom of the screen on the outer screen and not the inner screen !
Feedback has been sent to Samsung.
