Any way to move the Apps button on the home screen? - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

it's stuck in the far right and as a left-handed user, i'd rather it in the center or more closer to the left. holding on the button wont let me move it or do anything. is anyone else experiencing this?

Not sure what you mean by apps button? If you are referring to the navigation bar then you can swap the recents with the back button
Just search navigation bar in settings

its the button on your home screen that opens up the list of all your apps

Under display in the settings there is an option to turn the app button on

yes, it's on my home screen but I am unable to move the icon around the bottom like my other shortcuts, which is my issue

What a pain in the arse, now just swipe up
Might go back to NoVA because of this

[Q] Accidentally hitting home button

Is it just me? I find that I sometimes accidentally hit the 'home' or 'back' button at the bottom of the screen, especially when I'm using a stylus. Does anyone know if there's a way of moving these to the top, or the side?
thanks
Nick
Some Roms allow you to hide the navigation bar, rasbean does, think EOS does as well. There are some apps that do it too my fave is gmd gesture control

It does a load of cool other things as well

Function of softkeys

I love the idea of softkeys. With it you can put bigger screens on smaller devices and they can disappear whenever needed to.
The main problem is that it's a 50/50% chance that they will disappear when I think that they should. With physical keys that's never an issue.
Movies, yes
Games, yes
Full screen applications, yes
etc.
What determines when the keys disappear and not? Is it up to the app creator? What can I do about it (I'm not rooted)?
They can't always disappear in full screen games. If the game needs a back button you would be stuck.
I assume there is something in there that tells it. Much like if an app does not have an on screen menu button (usually three dots), a menu button will be added to the lower right side of the portion of the screen where the soft keys are.
It's not there for all apps, only ones that don't have a menu button on screen. Not sure if this is declared by the app or if 4.4 can detect it somehow and show the button when needed.

On my tablet (running 4.1) I get these dots you are talking about (but not in the lower right corner, they replace the ordinary softkeys)). That's all fine because they take less space (from what I remember) then the ordinary softkeys.
If it all comes down to having a back button in the app, why not implement that in the app?
I downloaded crazy taxi yesterday and those softkeys are annoying me as hell.
I ended up getting used to using LMT and just turn on expanded desktop to make the navigation keys go away. That way if LMT gives me any trouble...I just hit the power button and turn off expanded desktop and my navigation keys are back. (Gravity box to get that option in power menu.)
Hated pie at first...but used to it now.

is only the Home button hard pressable?

I like the look of full screen mode, but don't appreciate constantly doing unintentional inputs when swiping up to bring up the navigation bar. I found the option to hard press where the home button would be in full screen mode to trigger the home button without having to swipe up. there should really be an option to do this with recent and back keys as well. is that area of the screen hard press sensitive? if so are there any apps or mods to be able to hard press recent and back keys the way you can with the home key?
the setting can be found:
Display > Navigation bar > HARD PRESS HOME BUTTON > ON
("Use the home button while it's hidden by pressing harder than usual")
Thanks!
Only the home button is pressure sensitive.

Any way to reduce the size of the navigation bar?

I keep returning to home screen whenever I type too quick while pressing the space bar
This gets very annoying. I've searched for a nav bar to replace the stock one but then my dock apps get hidden behind my nav bars and the keyboard also messes up too.
Is there anything to reduce the size of the nav bar?
Why not remove the bar entirely? Just use the button. One tap for back, hold for home and swipe for multitasking.

Not as far as I know. There are other options that can help. You can hide it altogether, which is how I have it. Loving it since day one. Or you could get it to hide in a floating dock. Or bring it up only on swipe up, I think.
I had a similar problem with a different phone. I ended up simply moving the keyboard up using the keyboards settings. Unfortunately I don't remember which keyboard app it was. I use SwiftKey now, and it lets me float the keyboard.

Too confusing. They should let you customise the gestures
Honestly I've removed the nav bar I just use the single button, finger print reader.
Tap for back
Hold for home
Swipe for recents.
Don't think I could go back to a nav bar now.

Slider appears on pressing and sliding on home button

Hi,
I just noticed that if normal navigation buttons are used a slider will appear if you press home button and slide to the right side much like the same way the slider of the Google pixel 3 in which we can scroll through open apps but the problem is this slider does nothing

Hi, in short - you are wrong... Yes, the slider appears when you slide your finger over the home button, but it does scroll through recent apps. There is another function also, you can slide your finger from the home button to the back button - it works like a double-tap on the recents button, try it.
Actually I was using task changer in good lock so I have different recent apps layout and it wasn't working there that's why I thought it was broken. Thanks for clarification.
