My girl just bought the One yesterday and I must say it is awesome. It is completely stock for the moment. My question is, is there any way to get rid of that three dot menu button that shows up in certain apps like Facebook? Thanks for any replies.

Go into the phone's Settings > Display, gestures and buttons > Back Button > select "Press for back, press and hold for menu". This will make the 3-dot menu at the bottom of Facebook disappear, along with other apps too. Your girlfriend will have to remember to long press the back button of course, to get into menu settings for apps like these.

I dont have the Back button in the settings. Running stock ROM, so for this custom ROM is needed?

Hmmm, this setting was on my pure stock ROM, I'm surprised it's not in yours? But yes, the stock based Sense ROMs in the dev section all have this setting built in by HTC.

This setting does exist in stock, to my knowledge and I've gone through about 4 different HTC Ones. It's custom only. Remember, the ROMs in the dev section are mostly based on stock with alot of modifications.

You meant to type "this setting doesn't exist in stock". You are correct, my apologies. I've flashed so many ROMs I lost track. I mistakenly thought it was in pure stock Sense.
@Rexton270, sorry for misleading info...one of the many dozens of reasons to go with custom. :victory:
You can also flash faux kernel which will set the HTC logo as the menu button. I find this a lot easier than having to hold the back key to open the menu.

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!
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.
How to get rid of this and use home or back button as menu without different kernel? Thanks Xda.

Right now, you don't.
Aww was hoping there'd be a way.. Htc should have included the option to switch like in sense since they put some sense things in GE anyways.. Smh.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
you can. add qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1 to the end of your build.prob. youll loose the ability to map to another menu button unless you install a custom kernel. and also install the modaco toolkit to get the menu button in apps which have them mapped to the action bar
It's coming back in 4.2.2 if you are sticking with stock rom.
Is it possible to add a multitasking button to the navigation bar without flashing a custom ROM?
I am on a XT1097 rooted stock Lollipop.
Is the square button not multitasking? All the way to the right like all stock android versions?

Hmm.. yeah, maybe I did not explain myself correctly.
I meant a button to go back and forth between two apps.
Let's say you are on a hangouts session and editing a drive doc. Someone says something interesting and you want to take notes and quickly get back to the hangout session.
I had this button when using CyanogenMOD on my Nexus 5, but now I don't know how to do it on rooted lollipop stock.
Ah. On stock android, it's only the recent apps button that I know if. Switching between two apps with one touch sounds like a custom thing.

Yes, a thing I want to customize
I recently started using tiny apps app. It's got a floating app drawer that can hide on the side so you don't have to go back to the home screen. Other than that, I believe there are numerous apps that will give you an app drawer with a swipe from the left side of the screen.

I am running stock GPE android 5.1 (though my phone came with Sense). I want to change the capacitive buttons to match the normal google layout i.e. I want to enable the htc logo as the home button and change the home button to display recent apps. Is there a simple kernel that will just do this and nothing else? If not is there a simple kernel that will just enable the htc logo as a button and not give me options to overclock or change a bunch of other stuff? Thanks for your help.

I don't know exactly if you can do that specific option with this kernel, but ElementalX has the aroma installer so you can leave everything stock without having to overclock and you enable just the features you want. I'm running it with Logo2Menu, so maybe there is an option to change the button arrangement. Doesn't hurt to give it a try.

You don't want that feature trust me. It doesnt turn the logo as a button, but puts the sensor a little bit above it, so when you are typing you accidentally open the stupid menu and hit something random, and next thing you know, you are in a video call with someone from madagascar. Trust me dude, you dont want this stupid feature on the htc one m7.
You can also just enable soft keys too instead of using the physical buttons.
There is an app somewhere that actually uses the space above the logo, but this is different then the kernel. I just used the elementalx kernel (which was my backup plan if I didn't find something better). I can't do logo2home and home2recents like I wanted to, but I don't have any problem with accidentally hitting the logo button instead of space. I guess this could be because I usually swipe to type, but I'm testing it now and I have to be off the screen before it hits the button (though just barely). Overall I'd say definitely worth it for me.

Yeah, but if there's already a space for the button...
