Buttons navigation for The new HTC One ?

The new HTC One has been released. However, only 2 visible button is presented. Home and back button. So do anyone know how the HTC One to access the other functions like "Multi-task" and "Menu" ? Is the "hTC" icon in the bottom of the phone also a functionable button?

From what I just read, double-tap on home brings up recent apps. Not sure about the menu though...it probably uses the 3-dot menu standard in ics and above.

If you ask me, I'd say they should've ditched the buttons or whatever they're called and just put some extra screen real estate and give us a software/onscreen navigation bar.

Double tapping home gives you the recent apps while holding down home will launch you to Google now. I'm not sure about the menu system. Its probably the 3 dot system like the above post.

Yes no one seems to know how to access the menu.

Access menu is the 3 dot on screen, just like htc one x

There is also an option in settings to make long press back button into menu

Extremely late but NEVER knew this or saw it posted anywhere else. Thank you!

App Drawer Button

I don't know if I just imagined this, but if you hold down the app drawer button on the home screen does it open up a folder that apps can be added to? If so, how many can be added?
Thanks!

Nope, long press does nothing.

If you are rooted the back button long hold menu

Is long-pressing home very much preferable to the default way of doing this (double-tapping home)?

I my self would definitely prefer a long press rather than having to double tap. Sometimes I miss the second two and just go home but would have no problems with a long press.

Any solution to this? I'd like to make long-press home as the multi-tasking view and disable double-press home entirely (don't care about google now).

On the new 4.2.2 long press is now the menu button, double tap home is the recent apps like before and press, hold, and swipe up is the Google now

Yea I just saw this when I flashed to a 4.2.2 ROM. The thing I want to disable is the double-tap home button as it makes the single-press home a bit laggy since it has to wait to see if the second button press of home is registered or not. I would rather the phone just instantly goes home when I press home which requires the double-tap home function to be disabled which is why I'd like to rebind the task-switcher to something else like long-press home.

It doesn't make it laggy, as it doesn't wait for the second tap. You can still do the second tap once it gets to the homescreen. If you think it's slow, you should see the Samsung Galaxy phones with their REAL homebutton lag

It does... this is exactly what I'm relating it to. On my S3 it had double-press home to go to the S-Voice app. Once I disabled that feature, the home button would be instant on the S3. Otherwise, it would be "waiting" for the 2nd press. It's the same thing with the HTC One... at least it feels like it.
And no, I can't still do the 2nd tap when I get to the home screen...

I can some people store more electrical charge in their fingers, guess you are lacking that 'zap'
In all seriousness, I don't have any lag and you can disable the double tap by editing the framework.jar

Lol... well I feel the vibration feedback of the 2nd tap but it just acts as me pressing the home screen again, not part of the 2nd press from the 1st. I've tried timing it very closely but I still can't get it to go home and then bring up the task switcher. I can just get it to go home, then go home again, or get the task switcher.
Disabling it is only half the battle... I still want to bind the task-switcher to long press but I lack the know-how to do it lol. Thought there would be something built into modaco's framework to do it but I don't see that level of button customization there yet.

Well you have to do it by placing your finger in the HTC logo on the bottom, and slide it up on the screen. Did you do that correctly perhaps?

Yes it does not work!

[Q] Just got my One. What is black bar down sides of games?

I just installed a couple of games to try and they have a black bar on the side/bottom with 3 white dots in it. How do I get rid of it so I can fill the screen completely? I tried a search but not sure what the bar is called so got no results.
Also. How do I get the running apps up so I can swipe them away? If I long hold the home button I just get Google crap.

Thats the menu button. If youre rooted install the xposed mods and the back button enabler which means you can hold down back button for menu.
Please hit thanks button rather than saying it

like all nexus devices and on screen keyboard devices, in 4.0 there was a button on the apps which acts as the menu button (its called action menu or something), you only need to look for 3 vertical dots or play with the apps.
the facebook app have its settings on the left tab at the end of all the crap, there you can find the settings

Yup but in messages u cant delete conversations caise no action button.
Seriously whats the use of 2 button with basically of the same function. The home and task bar button
Should be integrated in 1 button only home button one press then long press brings the task manager.
So is it the same with all launchers?

in the messenger app and in the facebook app, you need to go to the messenger section (facebook app) long pres the conversation and then an optional menu will appear.
BLAME facebook for a poorly done app man, they should implement better ways to navigate through the damn app

Reminds me of the ios

It's the same with all Android devices that use stock or close to stock above 4.1. The real blame is with poor and lazy app development of which Facebook is a good example.

That button is essential for things like search in webbrowser.
sony made in China no options button like Htc in Taiwan has.

Honest question. What makes a physical button "essential" for this, and an onscreen button (depending on the browser, that will be either on the navigation bar, on the rightmost part or on the title bar, besides the tab button) not fit? Specially when pressing either of them will have the exact same effect?
Yes, I was used to the TouchWiz way on my previous phones, and I thought that having the menu button fixed on the same position all the time was the only way to do so. Now I see that (a dedicated physical menu button) the same way as I see the fixed menu bar on Mac OS: it has some nice points, but overall it's a waste of good space. Note that the Android application design guidelines asks for an onscreen overflow button (the three dots button). Some manufacturers change the behaviour to remove the onscreen button and assign the same function to a physical key. Some developers screw up the design in epic fashion (Facebook). But there's no way around it: the onscreen menu button is how Android is meant to be, at least since the last major overhaul on ICS. Anything other than that is either a manufacturer's attempt at "differentiation", breaking the expected design of apps, or an app's utter failure to adhere to a very simple set of rules.
