On the Samsung Galaxy S2 how do you take off the writing on screen?

The writing you are referring to could be wallpaper. If you want to take it off, you can change it by going to your Home screen > Menu key > Settings > Display >Screen Display > Wallpaper > Gallery > Choose the wallpaper of your choice.

You can also change the Lock screen wallpaper by going to Home screen > Menu key > Settings > Display >Screen Display > Lock Screen Wallpaper > Gallery > Gallery > Select the wallpaper of your choice.

On your keyboard, you will need to press on the ABC button on your keyboard. This will enable you to use the lettered keyboard to type your messages.

How do you add another Home screen to your Samsung Galaxy S2?

Adding another Home screen to your Samsung Galaxy S2 is a pretty easy operation. You only have to follow the points stated below:

• Choose the "Menu" button from your existing home screen.
• Now click "Edit".
• Tap on the "+", which you'll notice.
• Congratulations! An additional home screen will appear. Now you can move it wherever you want.

I am not following your question about adding a whole second home screen to your device. You can in fact add different applications or icons to your home screen but your device will continue to only have one official home screen. If you are looking to use an outside application to generate a whole second home screen on your device then you can download this application from the Google Play store to your device, type in home screen design to see a number of home screens you can choose from to download.

How to delete the phone, messaging, contacts, and application icons on bottom of Samsung Galaxy S2?

How to delete them from the phone and insert new ones

On your device you will find these icons on the bottom of the screen. In order to remove them, simply press and hold on the icons to move them around your screen and out of your panel.

If you want to add something to the bottom of your screen you will simply need to long press over another icon and move it to the bottom of your screen where the previous icon was located.

These icons can be added from your menu or even your home screen itself, so you can replace whatever icons you want to replace.
