How to change bottom 4 icons?

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

Cyanogen, 4 quicklaunch buttons

I'm running Cyanogen 7.0 and am wondering how to add an extra 4th quicklaunch button (the buttons that appear at the bottom of the home screen) The Androdian theme seems to shows 4 buttons in the picture, however 3 buttons still appear when I switch to it =( Is there an option somewhere that i'm missing? I've been through the menus a few times and can't seem to find anything at all.
Thanks.

Yes

There's a fix for the menu bar in the upcoming 4.2.2 update. Unless you're willing to root for the custom ROMs that is already based on the leak 4.2.2, you will need to wait for HTC's next update.

I'm not sure if the viper ROM has the option, but in settings there should be an option to map the menu button to the home button. Once you do this the menu bar for all apps will disappear.

[Q] Anyone know of a way to get menu overflow button?

Anyway to get the menu overflow button into all apps and disable menu key or make it multitask key? Xposed modules or Roms? I loathe the menu key. All of my other devices have software buttons so I'm always thrown off when going to my note. Thanks

xposed module: 3-dot menu mod do the job(add soft menu key). Install it, activate in xposed and restart.
PS. And Samsung did it again wrong, because the menus are ugly in all their apps (light grey icons on a white background).

delete

Good stuff. This restored the 3 dot menu in Chrome after Google yanked it out in the last update.

I peronwly love the menu button

Now to find a way to turn the menu button into a task switcher button and set long press home to google now

Youre right ... Listen to me get xposed modules install gravity box jellybean version... and use their pie controls.... make them appear on left side.... so use ur left thumb to acces home button and recent task on pie.... and your right thumb for the return button ... i know the feels... since that threw me off too ... this way you can comfortably navigate without sacrificing screen estate... .. trust me it rocks... contact me if you have more questions .. youre welcome

Long press home to Google Now can be done with Xposed. Both my phone and tablet work like that. I use Switchr for task switching with the activator in the bottom left and Button Savior Pro on the bottom right.

mine does that automatically. it also tried opening dolphin for some reason LoL

8.4s Hardware buttons , Different function from my Galaxay Note 3 , Can it be changed

Hi ,i have a note 3 and a 8.4 S , both excellent devices , very happy with them.......but the left hardware button on my Note 3 , generally pulls up options for the app , for example i use googles Finance app , the only way i know to open up the options for it , is to press the left hardware button , but on the 8.4 S that just pops up options to move between apps and to close down apps....
Another app i use is Boat Browser , i like to run it in full screen mode , on the note 3 , pressing the left hardware key , pops up the tabs and the address bar.....but once again on the 8.4 it just pops up the options to move between apps / task manager......, i have set up a gesture on boat browser to go full screen and out of full screen......but this does not help on some of the other apps i use....
Anyway to change the function of the hardware keys....or am i missing a option or something....

This was posted in another sub forum. You either root and mod the file stated in the link or see the 3rd post about holding down on the left button till the menu appears on the latest firmware.

Brilliant thank you , a long press does the trick....
on the note 3 , a long press on the home button , brings up the programs/task manager and the left key brings up options in apps etc....
its a bit different as you will know on the 8.4 s....but thank you that works a treat
Brilliant
