I am trying to change the 4 icons that are along the bottom of the screen on my Samsung Galaxy S. All the answers I have looked at say 'press menu and then select edit', but I don't have an edit button. When I press Menu I see:

  • All programs
  • Add to home screen
  • Wallpaper
  • Search
  • Notifications
  • Settings

Where is the edit button?

Edit what? What app(s) are you talking about? – Al Everett Jan 18 at 20:52
If you're talking about launcher... some launchers have Edit in there to add more screens, remove screens... but then again the context of question is not clear so please clarify! – t0mm13b Jan 18 at 20:54
Sorry, I am trying to change the 4 icons that are along the bottom of the screen, all the answers I have looked at say 'press menu and then select edit' I don't have edit only the ones I have mentioned. Don't know where it is. Thanks – user26978 Jan 18 at 21:05
@user26978 it's quite a while since I owned a Galaxy S, but I seem to remember that you could just long-press on the icons on the bottom row, and then drag them in or out. Does that work? – GAThrawn Feb 21 at 14:47

When you go to Menu, press view type and select customizable grid. Now you can see an edit button as mentioned by several posts

There is no such option when you press menu from the home screen. You have to go to 'Applications' first, and then press menu! Also note that this onlyt works in the Samsung stock TouchWiz launcher. – THelper Feb 21 at 14:19
Thanks for all your help. It looks like I will have to make do with the icons that are there. Doesn't look like they can be changed. Thanks again. – user26978 Feb 21 at 21:30

Long press the icons and you will be able to move or remove them.
