One thing I didn't like about my One X was that annoying 3 dot menu. Fortunately, HTC allowed you to disable it eventually. Now I have my One, the 3 dot menu is back.
Is there any way to disable it (the two button design makes me think not)? I've looked and can't find the option if it exists.

Yes there is a way, but you need to be rooted.

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

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

Yeah, this was discovered a while back in some coding. Not really sure I'll have a use for it, but it's good to know it's there.
The answer is: Not Really.
In the other thread they showed a pic of the digitizer used on the HTC One. There is no "touch-sensitive" area under the HTC logo. The kernel hack discussed where the HTC logo *is* turned into a button mentions that it is only responsive at the very top of the logo.

Although this is nice work, I think the HTC logo as a button is a lost cause.
Am I the only one that likes the two buttons? I like minimal designs and I have no problem long pressing or double taping a button to get what I need. I think the two buttons looks nicer than having a dedicated menu/multitasking button.
I have been on HTC for sometime and all of them had the long press for multitasking so I might just be used to this kind of setup already.
I'd be fine with the two button layout if it weren't for how they handle the menu "button" for apps (like this one!) that haven't adopted Androids latest design guides for how the menu function should be handled... I really hate that big black bar on the bottom of an otherwise beautiful screen!

i like the two button layout....took a little getting used to but....
I'm used to the buttons now, but that would have been cool to have the HTC Logo as an actual full functioning button.

if you root/unlock and install either ViperROM or the Xposed Mod pack, you can get rid of the black bar and instead long press back button.
that's what I did, I too hated that black menu bar at the bottom!

Since I'm using bulletproof kernel (double tap htc log for menu) I do not need the on screen menu button. Anyone figured out how to remove to get back some screen real estate?

Updated: A mod is available for ATT... could possibly work for sprint.

I downloaded it and flashed just now. Works like a charm. Thanks for posting this.

I am pretty sure the option to disable 3 dot is in the aroma installer when you install the BP kernel.
EDIT: Just checked again, Yes the option to disable 3 dot is there when your installing BP kernel.
Flash tranquil rls4 it has the option to remove 3 dot menu, as well as a ton more options.

MoDaCo was also able to get rid of the thing for me using the long-press back as menu option.
Is it possible to add the option of hold for menu on the GPE version, and would that take care of the 3 dot menu as well?

Hey, I have the TMO variant on Android 10 and it seems like they got rid of the multi Window/split screen feature? The one where you got 2 apps open on the same screen, one on top of each other.
It used to be that we could hold down recent apps button and select the 2nd app to share the screen with but it's no longer working?
Tried all apps I knew that worked with it, some don't.
Can't find an option to enable it in settings either, I guess I'm the only one that uses it cuz nothing but instructions that don't work in Google searches, theyre for older OS versions.
Dang, hoping they didn't get rid of it or someone here knows?
Thanks homiez
Tap the icon at the top left next to the app name after hitting the block button and a little sub menu will appear. You'll see "multi-window" to trigger the split screen.
