1. Go to your applications list.
2. Hit the first capacitive button bringing up the menu.
3. "EDIT"
4. Move the icons out of the bottom row and replace them with what you want.
hope it helps. took me a while to figure it out too. Had to replace the "browser"
Do I have to be rooted to do this? Sorry slow and new to some of this cool stuff!!!

A final step not mentioned, you then need to hit Menu and then Save, otherwise your changes won't stick.

What he said. Lots of reading. Plus the longer you wait, the easier and more bullet proof the root process will get. This is not like waiting endless months for an at&t update. There will be safe reversible one-click options before the end of the week most likely.

I ment to delete the app next to it..and I clicked the wrong app...
And for the life of me i can't remember its name!
All it did was when you clicked it, it gave you a list..top I remember was end all task,a few down it had a favorite apps...
I believe it started with an A but I can't remember.

Hard to say. Worse case scenario flash back to stock and then reroot. Download rom manager and flash recovery and then you can backup your current rom and everything on it that way if you make a mistake moving forward you can always revert back instead of starting over. I learned that lesson the same way you did.
What did the app do? Do you remember that at least?
Sounds like a task manager.
maybe advanced task killer
It was similar to a task manager but that was not its main focus ..bah oh well I guess... If i remember the name I'll let you all know, its an amazing app.

when you opened the app.. a box/rectangle that was almost the same size as the screen would pop up but you could still see the background of either the app drawer or what ever screen you had the app on, in the box it would be a list of actions that the app could do, such as end all tasks... there was one that said favorite apps that you could put all your fav apps in instead of having your desktop flooded with apps. those are the only ones i remember, they are the only ones i ever used.
i found it just a few days ago... i saw a review or somthing that made mention of the app and i was all ehh ill check it out and i loved it! ugh its driving me insane now that i cant remember it..
Was it jkAppSwitch by any chance?
Maybe android mate...

Smart Bar. Also allows for you to kill mobile data, amongst many others, with a quick settings toggle. I am positive that that's your app.

I've done it a few times on accident myself, unrooted with no screenshot app. Never could figure out how. Since then though, I just ended up buying ScreenshotIt. Works great for me.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Another thing, after a bit of research stock 2.2 supposedly has a built in screenshot taker. Try these instructions to see if this is what you accidentally did...
1. When you are in the specific screen which you desire to take Screenshot, Press the Back button in right bottom and hold it. While holding Back button now press Home button in the middle. You will hear a capture sound and in moment it will appear Screen captured. Save as image file
2. Go in the Gallery app there is a new folder called Screen Capture. Open it, you will see the captured image. Enjoy!
I tried that but it just goes to the home screen or back.. I have the image still on my phone and its saved as screenshot and I dont have any screenshot apps so idk how I did it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Oh. Sorry that didn't work. Those were some instructions some guy posted that were supposed to work...
Its ok I really done neeed it It would just be cool to know how to do it since its a feature on the phone

I would also know how exactly this works if anyone figured it out. I think I took about 5 screen shots on accident with some sort of combination of softkeys without knowing how :|
I ended up just getting an app called shoot me and getting honeycream jw1 with ice theme I got bored with froyo haha

+1 I am having the same problem
Try searching for an app called Button Remapper on XDA. Or you could edit the file in /system/usr/keylayout/ruby-keypad.kl
I haven't messed with it on this phone, but you should be able to change the function of the buttons, make it not wake the phone, or just leave it blank. I'd make a backup before messing with it, save a copy of the original files, and when you edit them try to make them look as much as possible to original as you can add far as formatting and spacing.
If this is over your head, be very very very careful. Or don't do it, haha. Good luck!

On the ROMs with quick reply built in for texting we need to be able to have the keyboard come up automatically when quick reply is pressed rather than just having the pop up menu display and then having to tap the text line to make the keyboard appear. Its an annoying and un-necessary extra step.
The question then is where do we start? I'm willing to devote some time to this.

I agree. The only benefit of it is that it doesn't close whatever app you are in, some apps close if you open the messaging tabs.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Nah I don't want to go to the messaging app itself. If you look at imei's quick reply the popup and keyboard both automatically pop up and overlay on the current window when the quick reply is hit. Ours is the same except the keyboard doesn't pop up automatically. That's what needs to change
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The ROM I'm on the quick reply pops up and you hit the messaging field and start typing....all without going to messaging. You have the option but I still stick with quick reply.
Sent from my Nintendo 64
No that's the point. You have to hit the message field to get the keyboard to come up. Why? The fact that I hit quick reply inherently means I want to type something back. Where did I say anything once about going into the text app?

Idk if I just read that reply wrong but it seems like you're being a demanding ass. I realize u didn't say anything about going into the app itself....I was just simply throwing that out there. So what you are wanting is the ability to receive a message and the keyboard automatically pop up or when u click the recieved message from the notification drawer, hit quick reply, and the keyboard pop up? The first part would be annoying as an iPhone and the second part is already in a ROM that I'm using. But with your attitude, good luck finding it and getting a dev to work on it.

Not here or any where within the XDA Community, will this be tolerated, Closed and dealt with .
Now that we have root, does anyone know how to install the MOD we had for the SG3 where it would add on screen soft keys and make the home button ONLY wake up the phone. It would also disable the capacitive buttons....I miss this so much...absolutely hate the Samsung home button.
Thanks ahead of time!!
On-screen nav is literally one or two line changes. There's guides all over this site. Why dont you search and maybe figure it out yourself.

I don't see the toughness** you're referring to. Simply encouraging you to give something a try instead of waiting with an open mouth for the spoon to feed you.

seriously. please do us all a favor and get a different phone so we don't have to deal with you.
anyway. i wasn't really happy with the way this looked or worked so I went back. But if tweaked it could look / function better. It changed it so that if you hold the home button on screen and physical you get S-Voice. The on screen nav was really big also and the page indicators were covered by icons. It just looked and felt sloppy and there was no way to customize anything obviously.

1) download root explorer
2) navigate to /system

4) then tap and hold down on the file "build. prop" and choice "open in text editor"
5) go to the bottom and add "qemu. hw.mainkeys=0
6) hit back button and save.
7) reboot phone.
DISABLING MENU AND BACKFLIP BUTOON
1) open root explorer
2) navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/
3) tap mount r/w
4) find generic.kl
5) tab and hold. Then " open in texteditor "
6) find
key 139 menu
Key 159 back
7) so they look like this
#key 139 menu
#key 158 menu
8) tap back button twice and save.
9) reboot
*back button
*158

Only thing I don't like is this kind of messes with the dialer DPI, and now the top of recent calls and favorites is being cut off by a big block of blue.
Edit: On Bean's new ROM, the top names are still covered, but the "blue" block is now transparent stuff just a blue border, so the names are now visible, but you can only touch the part of the name that sticks out from the bottom of the block. This is definitely more manageable though.
