Long press options disappeared - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have no idea what I did, but while setting up my new Galaxy S7 I somehow disabled the long press options for screen icons.
Now when I long press on a app icon I no longer get the options for Edit, Remove, App Info, etc.
Anyone know how to turn the long press options back on? I know it's going to be stupid simple, but for the life of me I can't find that setting anywhere.

[Q] zeam fullscreen

Help!!!!!. How do I get out of full screen zeam?
I found the flag and set and now I now longer have the battery and navigation screen on the bottom so I can no longer go back to preferences and turn full screen off. I have button savior turned on but zeam does not recognize the menu button so I am stuck. I am running on a NC version 1.1.0 with Autonooter 3.0. Please Help. I find it pretty stupid that you can't access a menu to turn off full screen.
I usually assign an up swipe to show/hide the notification bar. Can you long press on the desktop and get a preferences menu?
Nope, I assume by upswipe, you mean swiping from the bottom up but that didn't work. Tried swiping right to left and tried the long press. Nothing happens. I guess I may have to restore the data file from titanium but I was hoping to find another way to this.
Long pressing on one of your home screens should bring up a menu that has 3 options: "Add Item", "Set Wallpaper", and "Preferences". Selecting "Preferences" should bring you to the Zeam Preference menu.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you. I tried the long press on the main home screen and nothing happened. I had to go to the third page and then do the long press. I guess because I have some apps and widgets running on the main screen. Anyway I got it back. Thank you for your help.

Removing menu button from apps

i have a galaxy note 2, i activated the screen buttons, but kept the menu button active... however the apps keep thinking i disabled it, so they give me a menu button IN the app... this is very anoying, specially in some stock apps that dont resize when another bar is added to acomodate the button and so the lists get cutt off... any way to tell the apps i have a menu button whilst keeping the buttons bar?
there are plenty of threads out there to do just the oposite, not this.

How to open in app menu?

Hi all. It may seem a silly question and probably it is but there are apps (in this case Touchdown mail client) that haven't an icon to open the in app settings menu. With my previous phones I used a physical button, usually long press on the back button, to open it. But how to do it with the single button p9000? Thank you.
Very good question, they seem to have forgotten about apps that need a physical key for menu, have you tried enabling the softkeys to see if the menu button appears on them for you? Can the "Smart Button" not be setup to be the menu key? or is it only to open apps? I not played with it myself..
Still searching how to have the MENU inside applications, softkeys does not work !
I would ask the software maker! The phone maker won't add more physical buttons.
And multiple press are always software driven!
Even if the phone maker did, that won't help you out with the old hardware...
Doesn't seem to be an answer anywhere online so here goes:
Go to settings > Navigation bar > Turn On.
Go to app you need a menu on > swipe up from bottom to bring up the Nav bar.
Three dots appear on the end of the nav bar. Done.
If the three dots don't appear; click on the recent tasks button and then go back into the app and they should come up.
Tried and tested with EZ Drop.
- Doesn't seem to work with apps with the built in "three dots" menu.
I use ‘Menu Button (No root)’ by JetToast free on the Play store, to get round this problem.

Negative Color Shortcut Key

Hi Guys,
I am hopping someone can help me with setting up the shortcut for negative/inverted color view on my S9. On my old S7 I've set up the accessibility shortcut to enable negative view by pressing the home button 3 times quickly.
Is there a way to do the same with the S9? I would prefer for it to be the home button, but would be ok with the bixby.
Thank you.
Or is there a way to enable this icon in the tas/notification pulldown?
Kinda answered my own question by accident.
After enabling the negative view, pressing volume-UP and power button at the same time acts as a switch between normal and negative.
Does this still work for you?
I used the shortcut for a while and then it stopped working with the latest OS update.

Re-enabling Bixby

Hi,
I got an S9+ a couple of months ago. Since I had little use for Bixby, and I kept accidentally hitting that key, I disabled said Bixby key. Also, I am using the Nova launcher because older Samsung and Asus phones and tablet taught me the efficiency of Infinite Scroll and I can't live without it anymore, so the leftmost desktop window dedicated to Bixby is gone and can be used for apps.
Now I tried to re-enable it and tadaaa, it's not possible. From what I have found so far, to launch Bixby you have to re-enable it, and to re-enable it you have to access the Settings menu when it is already launched . Sure, I can disable the Nova launcher, scroll to the leftmost stop-window with Bixby and re-enable the button. If it's still there, I don't dare look . But doing this every time I want to look at it will get old fast. So I was wondering whether there was a way to start Bixby without the button, like an app icon or something.
Thanks.
i disabled and wanted back so i hold screen down to home screen -> enabled bixby home -> swap right (to go left) -> enabled bixby key... dont know other way...that worked for me
