my phone arrived in Chinese
Buy an English phone.
ohno, that sucks! normally u can choose the language right at the start...
try to enter recovery (power button and vol up or down, dont remember which, just try either and see if it brings up the recovery), then choose the second option, that should factory reset the phone and let u choose the language right at startup...

Go into the settings and theres a language option, they are there on every phone...
just difficult to discern the settings in a foreign language...
Tap on settings, then tap in advanced settings (The icon with the grey gear, its the 4th from the bottom if you have Dev options active) then tap on the second option from the top, then on the first one and then on the first again.

I used quickmenu a lot on my Tilt, but not yet on the TP. If I remember correctly someone cooked a rom with quickmenu built-in. You might try searching through the rom threads to find one that has it cooked in, and pm the chef with your questions. Sorry I couldn't be more help...good luck

To reactivate the task menu, go to
- QuickMenu > Option... > View > [_] Show battery on taskbar
- Settings > System > Task manager > Button > [v] Activate menu
(the English words may be a little different as I have another language on my phone).

Do you mean that you need to hold on the "Q" icon to keep the menu open, and that the menu closes as soon as you lift up your finger? I have never had this problem, I just click once and the menu stays open.

Yes, I say that I have to click on "Q" to activate the Q's start menu, and once I use it (clicking on), the second time clicking it appears the windows's standard menu, and to see quick's menu again I have to click again on the "Q"

Now I understand, this is quite strange. This could happen if you press the "Q" icon for a long time.
Maybe you can try the option "Replace system's start-menu" under the General tab (+ exit and start again QuickMenu). I don't know if it will help, but you can try and see what happens.
I'm sorry I don't have a better answer.
.
in "QucikMenu",Check "Replace system's startmenu".
then "setting">"system">"TouchFLO"===>don't use large startmenu
my rom is CHS,maybe the words are different
thank you all, i did what you said and now it is working good, i makde what raphel said, and what u said too vance, rebooted the systen and now all is ok
thanks
1.- First I wanna know how to add buttons to the Button manager... i mean Settings > Buttons > the box where the "button 1 (hold)" should be isn't there... just a "repeat Control" and "repeat Speed" slider... (note to readers, i'm using a spanish rom, i'm not sure if this is exactly what it says in the english rom but it should be similar).
1.5.- Also, i have another phone (the first one is a Motosurf and the second is a HTC Touch Viva) and it does have the box "assign app to button" (or something like that, read previous note), but it just displays one button, the "Send" key and it's mapped as "button 1 (hold)".
Is there a way to add more buttons? so i can add the volume up or volume down and the "end key" (hold) options???
2.- And the final and most importatn question is if there's a way to activate the windows default task manager on the motosurf, the one that looks like an arrow pointing downwards on the home screen... i know that some roms have it and some don't (i had that experience on the touch viva), but i want to know if there is a way to just activate it on the stock rom without flashing.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me, and sorry if my english is poor and for the lack of screenshots to explain myself better.

If you're a programmer you can probably change it.
If you want the software to change the buttons that you can't change, than you should buy AEVButton Plus. http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Otherwise you can only change the buttons that the settings allows you to.
Hello there All, my Question is i have been trying to figure out what the heck i did to change my Start Mnu to this One.. was someone in rom do not believe it was custom, really hope someone can help me out here with this Thanks.
Ps bottom Screen Shots are mine, anyhows tho i've had this start menu on this rom and i just cant remember how i found it and still cant find it plz help here. Thanks Again.
Using Left Menu Button > Start Menu > Settings
Scroll down till you see "Start Menu Settings"
Change View from "List View" back to "Grid View - press Done & Exit
You should be back to "Grid View" - do a reboot if necessary.
the last one is a program, Smarttoolkit or something like that, i have installed before, but its dificult to close aplications or turn off the phone, i have to uninstall that for problems, if you want i can upload for you to test...
(if my english is poor is because i'm latin american)
only thing that catches my eye from the kitkat launcher is the google search bar on screen (SAY OK GOOGLE) will that be later implemented into a zip for other launchers? i can always just click on the mic but saying that makes me a cool alley cat .
how come some nexus files/zips are able to be flash or install into our verizon gs3 without messing nothing up? time to time i check out there theme sections but dont wanna flash anything cuz im afraid it might brick my fone since its not a d2vzw file .
Chances are you won't see OK Google coming to other launchers from what I've read. Apparently Google made that and the Google now screen you can swipe to proprietary code.
As to the other, it really just depends. If it's just an app or theme you'd see mixed results. Just make sure you're making backups. If it's a rom or kernel or something, stay away.

You can have that same launcher, it is called the Google Experience Launcher, and is located Here. You no longer need the Google Search App from that page, as long as the Google Search App on your device is up to date. You also have the option of a modified version in the Play Store called KitKat Launcher+, HERE
When I install the GEL on stock 4.1.2, after pressing the home button, I was given the option to select what launcher I used. For some reason when I installed it on stock 4.3, I was not given that option, and had to go into the application manager to fix it.
Press the menu key, and select "Settings"
Press "Application Manager"
Slide over to the "All" tab
Scroll down to "TouchWiz Home"
Select "Clear defaults" under the "Launch by default heading"
Now when you press the home key, you will be given the option to select what launcher you want to use
When you first get into the launcher, you will notice that the microphone in the search bar is hollow, this means that the "Ok Google" function is not currently working. To get this to work, you need to
Press the menu key
You will see three options on the bottom of the screen "WALLPAPERS" "WIDGETS" "SETTINGS"
Select the "SETTINGS" tab
Select the "Voice" menu
Select the "Offline speech recognition"
Select the "ALL" tab
Press the English (US)
Press "OK"
Select the "AUTO-UPDATE" tab
I selected the second option, because I am never on Wi-Fi, you can leave it on Wi-Fi only if you are always on it
Select the "INSTALLED" tab
Press "English (US)
Press "Download"
When it is done downloading, the microphone in the search bar should be filled in, and you can now say "OK Google" to activate it.
As for your other question, it all depends on what the files are. If it is a system or framework file it most likely can't be flashed, someone might be able to port it over to work.

I don't want the kitkat launcher i jst want the kitkat search bar. I have the launcher but dislike it. Im a nova launcher user
Is there a way to change the soft buttons left/right? (I want to have the back-button on the right side). On the HUAWEI P8 or Mate there is a option in the Settings to choose which functions the soft buttons sould have. Anay way to do this on the Idol 3?
It's a developer option "RTL". Go to settings, then go to the bottom of settings list, tap about phone, look through lost for build number, tap the build number multiple times till it says you are now a developer, then tap back arrow till you get back to your Main settings, then scroll back down to the bottom of the settings list, you will notice a new setting option that says Developer Options, tap that setting button, then scroll through the list and look for RTL, tap it once. Problem fixed.
If you are on a custom Rom then let me know which Rom and I will help you.
Thanks, but this turns the whole phone to "Right To Left" not only change the two Softkeys

There is a way, though it requires root, xposed and the app Gravitybox (Which has loads of diffrent useful mods, including back and recent buttons reverse option. though you can download a app for just this purpose)
