You mean the app manager button next to the home button - just open a new app. Make sure to review the user guide, too.

Just received my G Tablet - Menu button not working?

Sorry I did a search on this and I could not find anything. I just got my G tablet from woot today and I could not get the "MENU" button to work. It is the button below the home button and above the back button. I've used all the apps and whenever I hit the menu button nothing comes up, is this normal?

Depends on the app as to whether the menu button does anything. Some apps simply do not havea menu.
When you press the menu button while on the main screen does anything happen? It should take you to the settings options, no?

I think this is normal, that button does not seem to do anything in most stock apps. Try opening up the es file explorer and pressing it.

SIDE QUESTION: anyone know how to choose camera pictures or non-stock pictures as wallpaper? I can't seem to figure this out...spend like an hr on this..
EDIT: Nvm flashed to TnT and I don't have to worry about this anymore. worked great

[REQ] Mod to remap personalize button...

Please? I sooooooo want to make it useful, like Browser or Msgs.
Thumbs up for that request
Like buttons remapper ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
This would be great. This was one of the first things I did to my MT4G.
+1. You can long press on the screen to get to the Personalize menu; why have it as a button as well?
ui build.prop
i know when i had the mytouch 4g you could remap the "g" button by editing the UI/Mapkey file something like that. will try and find the thread
edit: ok found the thread, but dont know if it also possible on sensation or not....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836702
update: pretty sure it not the same thing since it was a hardware button the was remaped. just trying to help
I know this was done in at least one ROM on the MT4G, and there are MODS in the Desire Z / HD/ G2 forum

What, not on any of the homescreens? Long press and the Personalize menu comes up?
It's a core Android feature; they wouldn't remove it.

Nope. If I long press on a blank or empty part of any screen nothing happens. Its a UK T Mobile

Weird. What ROM you on?
Stock t mobile rom
I`ve since discovered that I can get to the personalize screen by long pressing the screen if there is an empty space for a shortcut icon. Previously all my homescreens were full so obviously I had to remove a shortcut to be able to then personalize that screen.
Sorry, my mistake but in my defence it is my first Android phone and I`m slowly finding my way around it.

[Q] how to access Multitasking View in ICS ?

Hi,
yesterday i updated my nexus s with ics and i wonder how to access the multitasking-view. long-holding the home-button does not work.
is there a possibility to map the multitasking-view on the settings-hardware key?
thanks!
Something's wrong with your setup, you should get access to swipe-to-close thunbnails long holding home button.

If it's anything like some of the other ones...its probably press and hold Home or press Recent Apps buttons. Try that out. The capacitive buttons have been remapped alot on this phone.

Thats correct, it seems that the majority of people dont like the 3 button bar (me being in the minority of liking it)
A couple of roms have put out things that you can flash after installing to get it back, but youl just have to wait until the developer gets the time to do that, if ever.

[Q] Please look! Which app is this!

My daughter played with the phone and not this weird app is on EVERY screen. When i hit it a little quick launch looking menu appears, It has a few apps and and EDIT button, when you click edit all your apps come up in it's own app drawer and you can change the main ones it shows. Does anyone know what app/feature this is so I can please remove it!
MODS please delete
