Can't change or personalize softkey.... - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running Gingeritis VIII. When I click on the button (right of the phone button @ the bottom of the screen), it comes up with the web. For some reason, it's not prompting me to change the function or setting of that button. I've reloaded the OS again, and still the same thing. Am I missing something? Can someone tell me how to change the function when I launch the icon?
Thanks in advance.
Update...Figured it out...It's in the Rosie settings.

I did wonder about this for a while till I found it.
I do wish you could set it back to the personalize window though :\ so instead, I just had to set it to system settings.

I made my bottom bar disappear :-( Can anyone help find it?

Just installed Froyo 2.2 yesterday and so far i like it aside from a couple things i miss but its sooo much faster!
Anyways somehow made my bottom bar disappear and now i have no idea how to get into my application page. I'm talking about the bottom part with the Phone icon, Application Icon, and Browser Icon. I think i might have held it to long while i was messing around and it went down and now its gone. Been trying to bring it back for awhile now and cant find out how.
p.s. I tried to post a screen shot of my phone but it wont let me due to being a new user.
Froyo has the ability to hide the app drawer bar and notification bar by swiping up or down on the home screen go to your home screen and swipe down like you are browsing a website should pop back up.

awesome! thank you so much for the quick response!
Is there anyway to add icons to that? I noticed that if i hide that then i can put icons on the bottom but is there a way to add icons directly to that "drawer" as u called it
Of course. Just go to the app drawer and select an app. Keep hold of the app like you would to put it on the home screen and drop it down on the bottom bar. I believe you can scroll through the bar as well. I know for sure you can on Launcher Pro because that's what I use primarily.

What you have discovered is the new scrollable dock bar in ADW. It freaked me out the first time I opened it. By default, it is accessed by swiping up on your screen. This action is very buggy and only works seldomly.
How to change it - go to ADW Settings > System Preferences > Swipe Down Actions > Open/Close Dockbar. Now from your homescreen you can swipe down any where below your notification bar and access this scrolling dockbar. You can drag and drop unlimited apps in it. When you want your normal dockbar back just swipe down again on your screen.
Hope this helps.

SketchBook Free

This has to be one of the best apps I have ever seen on android. Great drawing app and is free. The full version is only .99 too if anyone is a professional. This could turn your nook color into a viable sketch book.
Are you talking about SketchBook?

Whichever one is from Autodesk. You might be right about the name. I will edit.
anyone have an apk? The only access I have to the android market is through a cupcake emulator.
Here you go
by any chance has anyone installed this on the nook? any luck saving a drawing or similar? seems you probably need the menu button but the soft keys and the status bar is gone
SketchBook in fact, IS amazing! I splurged and bought the $0.99 version. Once I learned how to use layering and import pics, the whole process became very easy. Controls are very intuitive. Maybe we could post pictures we've done in this thread? I'd like to see how others have used it.
Looks interesting
How do you get it to go full screen? the notification bar covers up the bottom buttons.

To get the menu button to show up using SoftKeys, make sure SoftKeys is set as your default launcher. Single tap of the N button should take you to your favorite launcher (Zeam, ADW, LauncherPro, etc.) and a double-tap should open Softkeys where you can tap Menu > New or Gallery > Save or Don't Save.

Mine was full screen by default. Maybe try reinstalling? What are you using as your Launcher?
I just purchased Sketchbook Mobile app & it installed, but I don't see it in the app drawer. If I go to the market, it said "installed". If I click on it I get an option to open & I can & it works, but even after a reboot it doesn't appear in my app drawer.
Any ideas? BTW It doesn't show up in my uninstaller app either. Can I re download it somehow?
Update: Uninstalled & reinstalled & finally found it. Maybe I just missed it. Wasn't looking for "SBM" descriptor! They should have mentioned that it would be named that!!!

I use Zeam. I'm new to android though. Does the launcher influence whether or not the notification bar is visible in apps?
also, my dpi is set to 200. I've found that I can hit the button at the bottom by tapping just a hair above the notification bar.
It can. Under menu>preferences>general you'll find the fullscreen option. You also have the option to toggle it under the gestures menu in Zeam.

I did some drawing on my Nexus S some time ago, I attached the result. I'm still waiting for my NC to be delivered, can't wait to use SBM with a bigger screen!
patience paid off!
I remember first using that SB on my laptop and then it was the only reason that I was going to buy an iPad. I waited hoping that it would come to Android and my patience paid off. It's surprisingly stable on the NC but it's crazy fast on my Evo.
I love this app

[Q] CM7 and drop down menu

I am luvin CM7 but, one question with the drop down menu/notifications screen. I cannot use, it's not there on all five screens when no apps are open. I need to open an app before it comes back up top and I find it a pain. Is this common to CM7 with the Thunderbolt or have I somehow screwed up...again.
Try swiping upward on the home screen. That's a feature of ADW to hide the status bar.

Try long-pressing the Menu key - that's what hides/shows my status bar.
Long press home screen, "Launcher Actions", "Show/Hide statusbar", click widget you added, delete widget after you have it back.
Or he could just check/uncheck the Hide Statusbar option in ADW Settings.
Big Yes....
ADW settings did it. Thanks man....

[Q] Sort applications pages!

Hi,
I found "Appzorter" and used it for the SGII.
It does sort app icons, but it still leaves "icon gaps" at the bottom of each page! So for e.g. i have about 4 unused icon slots not used and now my application pages went from 4 to 6!
Is there a setting that just sorts them and gets rid of the gaps? or am i messing up the settings in Appzorter?
Thanks again.
Just found the solution. I needed to override the page size...i.e the number of apps on a page. Now it works!

Not exactly sure, it sounds like you turned on easy mode under display in settings. Change it back

You defaulted to the easy launcher goninto settings and clear defaults for the easy launcher then press home and select tw launcher. Alternatively install a different home screen app, hit the home key select tw launcher for always and uninstall the home screen app u installed previously
