On Samsung phones, the text selection menu ("select all", "copy", "cut") used to look like this:

It had icons and side scrolling, making it far more user-friendly.

Now it looks far worse, like this:

Is there any way to get the old menu back? Ideally on any Android phone, not only Samsung. If it requires root, that's OK.
