Possible to remove on screen menu "icon" button? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

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 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.

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

Menu button at bottom of screen

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.

3 Dot Menu (GE)

How to get rid of this and use home or back button as menu without different kernel? Thanks Xda.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
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.

(REQUEST) hardware key button remapping mod

Does anyone know how to remap the harware buttons similar to what viper rom has as options? For instance long press back, home, and double press back and home. Also swipe up on home button. I would imagine that this is possible through smali edits in android.policy.jar but I don't know where or how at this point. If someone could help me I would really appreciate it. I love venom rom but I would like to atleast try out a few other options out there but I have found the remapping options with venom extremely had to give up.
Thanks, in advance

ViperOne can do this.

Nearly all of the custom roms and kernels for the One have remapping options. Are you trying to learn how to do this manually?
Also, the One only has capacitive back and home buttons, not hardware buttons like the Galaxy series.

No there are only a couple sense roms that have this option. As far as not being hardware buttons, it should be understood what I am referring to.
The only option that some kernels add is for HTC logo for menu

If you need to use the Volume to wake up your phone, you can use a custom ROM such as the latest version of Android Revolution HD. Also in this latest version, long pressing the home button acts as MENU.
If you need to assign a capacitive button to work as MENU you can use a custom Kernel such as Faux123. It gives you the option to use the HTC logo as MENU and to wake your phone using the Home button and Sleep using the long pressing the HTC logo.
If you need to use the Volume Keys to take pictures inside the camera app, you can use this mod

Long press power button to toggle flashlight when screen off

Does anyone know if I can use that in the custom 4.3 gpe roms? It's one of the feature in vipers, but I just tried like 3 different xposed mods (gravity box, modaco, and tweak boxand) none of them has it, be a great help if anyone can point me the right direction thanks

There is an option in gravity box that toggles it by pressing on the lockring.

i already tested this option but it's not exactly what we want.
With gravity you have to push the power button to go to the lock screen and then push another button (e.g home or volume down) to switch on the Flashlight.
the wanted option is also on the Sense 5 Toolbox xposed modules but i don't think it will work on the GPE
Well i use a custom kernel with s2w and that makes it a lot easier. So you want to toggle it without turning on the phone?
Not sure about toggling without turning on the screen, but Cyanogenmod ROMs support this from the lock screen.
Under settings >Lock screen > Button actions > Long press Home button, set this to Flashlight.
Hopefully someone else can post more information regarding doing this while the screen is switched off.
Exactly

Got you PM and I have thrown the parts of Sense 5 Toolbox responsible for this mod into a new tiny mod. Can you guys test it please and if it doesn't work send me the Xposed log? Thanks
Thanks, I have just tested it but it's not working. When I press the power off button to switch off the screen, the screen is going off but push it again, the screen stay black. I had to long press the power button to reboot the device. In xposed I only have two lines :
Code:
2 janv. 2014 22:29:23 UTC
Loading Xposed v42 (for Zygote)...
Loading modules from /data/app/de.langerhans.xposed.powerflashge-1.apk
Loading class de.langerhans.xposed.powerflashge.XMod
For now, I have to de activate the module in xposed

Same here. Not working on GPE
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.
