I was on the phone and the phone crashed on me. This is probably due to the FireFly Live Wallpaper that I was using. Because this is the 2nd time. When the phone restart, it went into safe mode, and after restarting, 2 of my dock icons are gone. I can't reinstate it.
I believe some system files are corrupted.
Can someone help me? I don't want to wipe all data again.
Thanks

I don't have the add icons selection. I press the application icon on the home screen, and then press the menu button, and choose edit. Under edit, i can only add folder or add page. I can also replace the remaining 2 icons by dragging the apllication icons down. But can't add new icons...
Sorry, I maybe a newbie, and need more help.

Is there any way to change the lower 4 icons, or at least set it back to default? I lost my Phone and Contacts icon, just Messaging and Applications are showing.
Not sure how this happened, it started somewhere between updating to WKE2 -> Rooting -> Adding the stock kernel back again -> Freezing some apps. I have unfrozen all apps nog, but the 2 icons have not come back to the static buttons at the bottom. I can however see them in Applications.
BTW, besides than this WKE2 seems to be running smooth for me, was a little worried after seeing some other threads.
in the app drawer you can hit the left soft key -> edit and just drag anything u like to the dock.
Hah, I *am* a TouchWiz noob. Thanks!
I must be doing something wrong as i cant get the bottom 4 apps to change. I can customise the othe pages but not the 4 apps on the home page. Any futher help for a noob.

Open up the App Drawer, hit 'Menu' (left softkey), drag what icon you want out and replace it with what you want.
Bare in mind you can only replace three of the four icons.
Many thanks for the pointers, got it sorted.

Hi rez1,
When I press edit, all I can change is the number of home screens, not those icons!
Any other ideas?
Thanks
U will have to hold and drag an app to the bottom icons and it will be replaced. Try it.

Hey Folks, is there a way i can replace the stock Messaging app with goSms, on my first page on my phone it has the stock meeaging app, but i cant replace it
Launch your app tray from your home screen and press the menu key. Select edit. Drag the stock SMS app off, drag GoSMS on. Select the menu key again and then select save.
What do you mean launch the app tray?
I have TouchWiz btw.

The blue icon that says Applications on the dock next to the icon you want to replace opens your app tray.
Ohh that lol
Sorry
Thanks buddy, all sorted now.

It's TouchWiz, you cannot change that actually. But my friend did replace that and SHE doesn't have any Android advanced knowledge (her phone is not even rooted)
Probably.. Try using GO SMS as the default for SMS related activity?

Been searching all over in the settings to be able to change the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Anybody know where to do this for the lockscreen?

Maybe tapping on the widget with the weather on the home screen and going into the settings in that app

You might want to take a second look. It's not a global setting, but controlled by the app. So open the app that the widget is linked to and look in the settings menu for that app.
In particular, if you are using the default accuweather app, that is indeed where the setting resides. You may also want to recreate the widget to speed up the change i.e. don't expect that the change will always be reflected instantaneously.
.
OK thanks, I figured it's tied to a certain weather app. Will keep looking. Here is a pic of my lockscreen,
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That appears to be the Accuweather app. From memory.. tap or double tap on the time or temperature on the home screen to open the full page Accuweather.. then click on the menu icon there (3 dots) to get into the app's settings dialog. Then look for the C/F or metric /Imperial toggle.
.
Hmm, Not sure where that app is, I thought I had it frozen in TB. I've only got one weather app installed right now.

That one then. Whatever it is.

I froze it and restarted the phone. It did get rid of it so I know that's it, however when unfrozen there is no actual app anywhere to configure.
*Edit it doesn't come back now after unfreeze and rebooting. Oh well no big deal. The weather app I do have and use is Weather & Clock Widget.

Stand alone widgets are less common.. and will be configured from the widget itself instead of a main app then.

The reason his app settings are not showing when he taps the the temp..
Is probably because he has the
Unified Daemon frozen in TB too.
I learned it the hard way from freezing it..

Here is what my lock and home screen looks like..
Here is a link to my 2 apks if you want to try them..put them in system/app ...just rename yours to .bak and you can switch back if doesn't work but should as that's all I changed..then restart phone and replace the original weather widget and make it 100 percent transparent.
Tap on the Temp on the home screen takes you to the settings.

Cool thanks I will try them. I don't remember ever seeing the second app "weatherdaemon2014" Maybe that's it.
*edit, those worked! I didn't have accuweather in system/app, though the weatherdaemon was. Its all working now, thanks a lot for your help!
Weather App - change from C to F

I am new and this may just be an old thread that has been resolved.
I went through the entire thread and didn't see a suitable reply.
On my newly acquired Galaxy 5S, I wanted to do the same; change from C to F.
First went through the Settings App and didn't see anything that would make the change.
Sometimes things are very simple. And this was something I probably over-thought.
What I did:
Unlocked the screen, and there's the "Weather App" loaded right on the main screen at the very top of the screen.
I tapped the "Weather App" box, which brought the "Weather App" full screen.
I then tapped the three vertical dots, flush right top on the screen. This brought up four options (black text on white background).
They are from top to bottom, 'Weather map', 'More', 'Settings' and 'Report wrong city name'.
Tap on "Settings":
Then, under "General", the first settings option is "Unit".
Tap "Unit", then tap the radio button "°F" to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
Unless you want to continue making additional changes, such as 'Refresh', 'Location' or 'Notifications...' you are done.
There is no "Save" button. The changes that have been made I believe take effect immediately.
All you have to do is back out and get back to the main screen by pressing the Home button to get back to business.
Hope that helps someone, someplace.
Best,
Robert
Hallelujah, I have figured it out. Press on the widget on the lock screen. Select change widget. Choose Accuweather (yes, it does not appear in your apps management list) A whole page opens up with the Accuweather forecast AND in the top right corner (at least on mine) (Note 4) you get the three dots indicating a menu. Press the dots and holy cow the settings for accuweather come up. And there you will see the temperature change option. Right at the top. Hope this helps.
