Button bar - move added buttons to LEFT of pre-set buttons: possible?

Post by *dajare »

I have only recently discovered that I can add "custom" buttons to the lower button bar in TC Android. Wonderful!

However, when I use the "Move button" option (with the ←[icon]→ symbols), the icons will only move up to the right END of the pre-set buttons.

But, in my phone's "portrait" view (natural way of holding Android phone), the added buttons are not visible, and I must rotate the phone to landscape to see them.

These are my most used/wanted buttons! Is there a way to position them "ahead" (to the left) of the pre-set buttons? I live in hope!

No you can't. You can either scroll the toolbar sideways, or choose to show two toolbars (the essential buttons on one and the user-defined on the other).

Many thanks for the reply! I did try side-scrolling, but on my Android phone (Nokia G42 5G/Android v14), it wouldn't move. However, I did manage to get the "stacked" bottom button-bars, showing two, and that works for me! I didn't know I could do that.

Appreciate your help! Best wishes for 2025, too. :)

That's odd, I'm on Android 14 too, and scrolling a single bar works just fine. I just tried it on the Android 14 emulator, and it works there too. No idea what HMD/Nokia is doing, they usually have almost stock Android...
