[Q] Samsung GSII Rom Question

I'm using the HD2 Samsung GSII Rom and I can't get the applications button to where it should be (the right side) it just stays centered. Also I can't put any other apps in the 4 other spaces next to the applications button. Any Ideas?
Attached is a screen shot.

Have you pressed the 'applications' button to go into the app drawer? Once there press 'menu' bottom left hard key. Then 'edit'. You should be able to move the button and drag others onto the dock from there.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

Is there a way to disable or uninstall the Chinese keyboard? I have no use for it.

Sorry, don't have a GSII but if it's the standard keyboard that ships with the rom then I don't think so.
Need to do a bit of searching my friend.

S voice not connecting

Hello is s voice down or something? I try to connect to it now and I'm getting no network connected.I have all my bars on 4g and my internet works.

IMHO, this is what makes S-Voice a piece of junk. I got frustrated with this and used the Home2 Shortcut app to remap my double home button to Google Now.

Press and hold your home key button for about 5 secs or less, After which all your open applications will pop up. From there you can either clear all your open application or swipe them away one by on,
NOTE: That's how it's done with the regular Samsung S4. It Might probably be the same with the google edition.

It's not the same with GE, like "tatperson" said, you have to double click home to open it.

Should be other way around..or make menu key dedicated multitask

Offline maps

Hello
I tried offline maps . I have read 10 different websites with instructions, but i cant see the button on my LG G2. Is there a trick that i am missing?
Thanks

Its tricky. You search for the area you want to save the map for.. So in Maps, type in "Kentucky" for example . then tap the info bar and you'll see "save map for use offline"

Everything comes up peryour picture except the save offline!
What's going on?

Try pressing the search bar then swipe to the bottom of the list that drops down. There should be written "save for offline maps" or sth else

unfortunately nothing comes up! and i am going for a trip in a couple of days and i cannot do anything..
arghhhhh!!

This is how you save an offline map:
Go to the area you want to save (even the zoom should be adjusted based on how much you want to save).
Tap the search bar and write "ok maps" and press search.
Feel the magic.

Xda app no menu button

Ok so i got my edge plus yesterday. Been using the regular s6 for a few months now and in the xda app there is a actual menu button with 3 dots that kinda hovers down at the bottom. Well on my plus it isnt there. Cant figure out how to being up the menu. If i hold back with a longpress it just starts backing out. Holding home brings up google now. And holding the task brings up multiwindow.
My problem is i cant bring up the menu to create a new thread. Thats why im posting this on my s6 rather than my edge.
Is it something simple im just overlooking?

I'm having the same issue! I've yet to figure out a workaround. I have a lot of threads I want to start!

Has any one figured it out?

Dis you guys try to uninstall and install again? Im using XDA premium 4 and everything is awesome here

Yeah I have the same issue. One thing you can do though (not a permanent solution) is to go to accessibility settings and then add that hovering extra button and in that way you can access the menu button.

Long press back button?

I wrote about this over in the Note 5 forum. Nonfiction except to use the XDA premium app, which I think is inferior.
Actually the sad thing is that there's so little one can do to the locked device that I stuck to the free version and it doesnt matter as I hardly have a need to create new forums like the old days (where are you now, HD2???).

Here is the temp fix guys the problem is a lot of apps detect if there is a hardware menu button and omit showing the soft 3 dot button common in a lot of apps. The S5 has no dedicated menu button but it does have the long press home button option to launch the More options/Menu button, however out Galaxy S6 models do not have this option. BUT some apps still detect it and delete their in app button.
Here is the fix I figured out that works in this situation and it would be good to pass this on or write up a document.
Go to phone settings => Accessibility => Dexterity and interaction => Assistant Menu.
At the top right slide the off button to on to enable the Assistant menu icon on all screens. Then click on the Edit option. In the edit menu deselect all the buttons you do not need by hitting the red negative on the icons (-) in the upper part of the screen. (note it has two buttons that you cannot remove Home Screen, and Menu Settings) on the bottom half of the page hit the green plus sign (+) on the More Options button (It has 3 dots).
Now on all screens is a little round button with 4 dots on it, it appears on all screens in all programs and is floating. There is the More options button now which is the software menu button we are missing =). You can just go back and disable Assistant menu afterward or like me leave this handy button on because I have multiple programs that do this.
Hope this helps guys Cheers!

Long pressing back key brings up menu in most of the Apps

Yeah I tried that it did not work in the app that I run that I could not get to the menu with, I will try another program and see if I can get that to work. I also tried many of the other options I could find through the searches. See the reply above mine in this thread.
