When I select any of the settings panels like "manage applications" I loose the "back" button at the bottom of the screen & I can't find a way to exit. If I press the home button (N) & reselect extras, I am back at the same screen.
Can someone point me to info about this?
Thanks,

You have to use the back button in softkeys...

Thanks. Too bad the one in the notification bar goes away.

Or you can swipe from right to left on the very bottom of the screen.
"Or you can swipe from right to left on the very bottom of the screen." That's the kind of solution I was looking for.

I'm an amateur at all this I've managed to get my nook color rooted, and I've installed a few apps. I've tried softkeys, but I'm not 100% happy with the result. First it wouldn't start on its own after a reboot. I reconfigured it following some directions form another user, and it starts now, but it's still too "busy", with bars and buttons popping up all over.
ALL I WANT is an app or some way to configure a "back" button and "menu" button in the lower black bar where the clock, bettery meter, etc are? Any ideas?
Either that, or is there a way to turn off ALL THE OTHER FUNCTIONS AND DISPLAYS of softkeys EXCEPT the ability to go "back" when pressing the physical "N"/home button, which is how I have it now.
In the end, I don't want any "back" or "menu" buttons on the actual viewable screen except the lower black bar.
THANKS a million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not quite what you asked for but i remapped my volume keys for menu and back. works great for my needs. i control volume with a widget now.

Well, if all you want is a back button on the notification bar..... you have one. Not talking about the back button that appears on there either. Just swipe left on the notification bar and it should always work as a back button.
Other than that, there's an app you can try called Button Savior you can get from the Market. It has a small launcher button that appears on the edge of the screen. You can move it around a limited range as you see fit. It's not as complicated or as "busy" as Softkeys.
If you find the visible button not to your liking, you can try this modded version of Button Savior. The button is invisible. You can see where the button actually lies by switching to the Sense UI theme. Then back to the default or Froyo theme to make it invisible once more. The modded version of Button Savior can be found here:

I suggest you try the Market version of Button Savior first.
I'm going to second Button Savior. It hasn't let me down once

You don't have Softkeys set up properly..

I understand what you are looking for. I would like the same thing, but I do not believe there is anything out there for us..
I may end up remapping the volume keys myself.

With SoftKeys you can put the menu and back buttons in the notification area, since ver. 1.0.8 I believe. Then, disable the popper, and you are good to go.
Can't find anywhere to do this?
It is occupying extra real estate.

Hold down the power button until the power menu pops up then look in the upper left hand corner of the power menu screen and untick the first icon and the soft keys at the bottom will disappear.
Hey All -
Sprint HTC One bought on launch day. Love it so far. If anyone has any suggestions on this pet peeve, post it up:
-Battery life is critical to me, so I opted to make my a clear panel (screen) my "Home" screen. With the Blinkfeed as the home screen, it refreshes the feeds each time you unlock the screen. When it's not the default, it only refreshes when you go to that screen or do the 'pull down'
-When Blinkfeed is your home screen, you can scroll down several screens, then if you hit the Home button, it'll scroll you all the way to the top
-IF Blinkfeed is NOT the default Home screen, the only way to get back to the top is scroll and scroll...which becomes annoying if you get >5 screens down your feed.
So, for any devs up to the challenge, can you tweak/add something like the following:
a. an invisible "fast scroll" bar on the right for scrolling back up
b. When Blinkfeed is NOT the Default home, still make the home button jump all the way back to the top
c. (my favorite) A two finger down swipe (gesture) takes the feed to the very top
Discuss. Thanks -
Blinkfeed top tip: you can tap the notifications bar to scroll back to the top. I think this also works for other scenarios (apps drawer is one I know).

Freakin' awesome....thank you. Guess they borrowed that feature from apple....
Additionally, there is this mod which enables the back button to scroll to top.
Also if you tap Home button it will scroll back to the top.

This doesn't work if BlinkFeed is not your home screen. The home button will scroll to your home screen in this case
Today I bought the HTC One with the surprise that it doesn't have a dedicated menu button. I am guessing that sometime in the future this will get remedied somehow, but in the meantime is there a workaround for this?
For example, on my previous HTC Desire phone, I was using Launcher8 as my main launcher however to edit its settings I'd need to press the menu button and then press settings.
Without a dedicated menu button, I can't find anyway to change its settings. So is there any way to get around this? or will I need to root my phone and install a new ROM for this? (which I don't want to do at the moment in case I void my warranty).
look for three dots in a line going downward on the screen, press that for the menu, there is no dedicated hard menu button

Yeah I saw the menu icon in some apps, but I tried it on Launcher8 and the only way to access the settings was from the homescreen itself. There are no menu icons to press to get the settings as far as I am seeing.
EDIT: Actually, nevermind. I found that I can make an icon for it.
This will be fixed when HTC finally delivers 4.2.2. The leaked versions let you assign holding down the home button for settings. They should have done it like this in the first place. The 3 dots thing looks hideous.
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
