[Q] Change bottom buttons

Hi there
Is there a way to change the bottom buttons on the home screens on Samsung Galaxy S? I would like to change contacts to calendar?
Thanks
-Michael

yes there is. click the aplications icon in the home screen and then press the menu button and choose edit. The only one you can't edit is the aplications/home button.

you can edit the samsung touchwiz setup or you can download a free replacement launcher from the market like adw launcher or launcherpro. they both work great and are very customizeable. i have been using adw with my galaxy s and i love it

Thanks... it works.

You can press the menu button twice instead of flipping up the lock screen.

Cool tip on the dbl-menu, thanx!

NoLock would probably work to get rid of it, then you could install something like WidgetLocker.

I've found that pressing the menu button once flips up the lock screen, I have the Australian version of the S7.

I like the lock pattern better than the lock screen. Also it keeps unwanted visitors out !!!!

Flash 3minit framework and it will add a torch toggle on your notification drawer, you can also set long press on menu button, home button, or back button to turn on torch/flashlight automatically...

When on your home screen just hit your menu button then 'set wallpaper' and you should see three options; home screen, lock screen and home and lock screen. So you can set individually or set both together.

Hmm not about that one, there may be an xposed module that could do it as it's not possible normally as far as I'm aware.

Double tap notification bar to unlock and lock

Just thought I'd share with you all a little something I found. You can double tap the notification bar to lock or unlock your phone, without needing to use the power button

Or if you use Nova to set gestures double tap with screen off app. Same as LG launcher.

Yep and you can even double tap an empty part of the homescreen to lock and unlock as well!
Its one of the features of the G3

Double tap on/off with the G2, Flex and now G3 is one of the cool features LG has been doing.

Download Screen Off from the play store and set it to open this app when you double tap in Nova.

Tweaksbox also has a double tap home setting. I use that to turn off the screen.
