I am new to Android and was wondering how to change the 4 icons at the bottom. I figured out how to replace them but I want to keep them there but with cooler icons that I have seen on other handset devices.
I don't want it to interrupt the touchwiz as I like it.
You can't change the Home/Application one at all, but the others you can change in the application view, my handset has gone back to be replaced so I can't check right now, but I believe if you hit the menu button and go into editing mode you can just drag n drop the icons in and out of the tray.

.... is it malfuncioned ?
i'm planning to get one but now u made me concerned
Seems to have been some problem in the ROM on mine, I wouldn't let it put you off - so far I'm the only person to have been affected so I wouldn't worry about it.

Same here, you can only replace the "Phone, Contacts & Messaging". But I don't think there's a problem with that.

glad to hear that man ... thx for ur reply
You can change the 4 buttons below.
1. Get into Menu Mode (not home/torchwiz mode) by pressing the right left of the 4 botton on AMOLED.
2. There is 3 botton below the screen. Press the bottom left button. A menu will appear.
3. Select Edit. All the icons can be edited now.
4. Give any buttons a "LONG PRESS", you can start to move the icons around.
In Touchwiz mode, you can also move the torchwiz icons by just long press and move it around.
I understand how to put new shortcuts down in there, but I want the 4 buttons, just replace the icon so it 'looks' different.
Oh, misunderstood.
So you want to change the 'look' of the icon.
Sorry, that one I do not know.
use Launcher Pro from the market... you will have 14 icons below customized to your liking
Thanks was looking for info on this earlier

Go into applications.
Click the menu button (left 'physical' button), set to grid mode it not already.
When in grid mode, the menu will have an edit option.
Go to that and then you can change the apps on the bottom.
LOL
I was not able neither to understand how it workedto change with the first explanation
Nowe it's clear and i changed them ... very ueful
Thanks
Hi,
I would like to disable the hardware buttons from my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 since I already made the softkeys visible by changing the /system/build.prop file.
I found HowTo's for other Samsung devices. All of them proposed a modification of the /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl file by deactivating the mappings for the keys 139, 158 and 172 (see this thread). Unfortunately, this isn't working for my Tab 3.
Can someone give my advice in this topic?
Thanks in advance,
Greeny
Im curious what edit you made to enable the soft keys
Sent from my SM-T217S using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I added qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the end of /system/build.prop. If you are interested in the source I could post a link, even if I'm not sure whether external links are accepted.
I've got mine disabled and all you do is put # in front of the key mappings.
What I want to know is how to switch the back key (which defaults to the right) and the menu key (which defaults to the left). It's a pain to have the back key on the right.
Anyone know how to swap them, I've tried different steps for galaxy devices and nothing's working.
Thanks for your answer, but this isn't working for me. I prepended the 3 lines with a # and rebooted the device. But the three hardware buttons are still working

Do you talk about the mappings in the Generic.kl file? I just opened the other *.kl files and noticed keymappings for the same keys in many other files, like vnc-kbd.kl

Open up sec_touchscreen.kl and place a # in front of key 139 MENU and key 158 BACK.
This will disable the Samsung buttons.

When you added the soft keys did it make the launcher bar at the bottom move up and overlap the page dots for the home pages? I turned them on in gravity box and thats what happened.

The soft keys do not overlap the page dots, but they are now really close (see attached screenshot).

ok good to know, thanks.
I am having some issues with overclocking here on stock ROM so need to consider switching to custom, since as rooted I won't get official update anyway
the major thing with custom is that there is no multi-window available which I heavily use .
Any way to do this without root on the Note 4? I believe HTC offers this option on their M7 and M8 phones, so I really hope Samsung did the same since they switched it.
yes please! I believe it can be done but uncertain without decompiling the app doing some recoding and then recompile the results into a .apk file.
Hold the button down....it's menu with a long press of the multitasking button

haha me too i want menu one touch menu and recent long press of home button
I didn't realize the back button still did menu with a long-press. Glad to have learned that rather than having to search the 4 corners of the screen to see where the menu in whatever app is hidden.
When root is found, it should be a simple thing to flip the functionality of it right?
Also, anyone else wish there was a flashlight quick toggle in the notification tray?
There was a quick launch button for do not disturb on the s7 but can't seem to find it on the note 7? Any way to add it?

If you're talking about the quick settings tile, long press on one of the quick settings to enter edit mode an you'll see it there in the bottom then you can add it.

Never had an issue, just practice getting used to the timing
If you want your screenshot on the desktop (and you use Windows), just try my adbgrab.exe (in the sig).
Code:
C:\>adbgrab.exe shot.png

Here is a great article on it... using the palm swipe looks like it will solve your problem. Check out scroll capture also, that is cool.

Here is a video demo using the Z fold 3... for me I just use the power and volume down button, then have additional options with menu that pops up after you take the screen shot.

Is there a 3-finger swipe for screenshots available in Samsung cause I'm new to this brand?
Oh, you can also:
Code:
C:\>adb shell screencap /sdcard/myshot.png
C:\>adb pull /sdcard/myshot.png

No, they have the palm swipe only as far as I know, although you have to activate it in settings first, for it to work... you can try an app to create a macro, (great feedback in the comments ,but one them says the phone needs to be rooted which may or may not be) based on whatever you want as shown in this video.... not English, in Hindi, but you can make out the details and process from the visuals.
If all else fails, the power and volume rocker low buttons pressed the same time will take a screen shot by default.

Enable long press on one hand operation from good lock and use It to take screenshots.

Where i can find long press on one hand ?
just my 2 cents; i use good lock and the module navstar. i've put in 2 extra icons in the nav bar (originally has 3: back, home and apps). the other 2 to the left side that have been added are power off and screenshot.

Men thank so much for this tips
From my end, I use the button mapper and set up volume down long press as screenshot. I tried with one hand gestures and somehow, I prefer physical button. Would love to use bixby routine instead but couldn't find a way to screenshot.
Tap tap is my go to. Simply double tap the back of the phone and bam!
Lol I always turn my phone sideways so I can do the volume down & power button press two handed!
