Hi, I'm coming from a nexus 4 and I really would like to have my old three button layout here on my htc one, I've read in other threats that the HTC logo can be set up to be a home button, so the only piece left in the puzzle is how to set the original home button to open recent apps... I don't want to flash the Google play edition rom or any other ROM, just wish to know if there's a way to remap the original home button to recent apps so I finally get my nexus 4's old and sweet button layout... Thanks in advance guys!

Hello, the new HTC ICS phones use three capacitive buttons Home, back, and a multitasking button. How would this work in legacy apps that require a menu button? I ask because I would love to have the captivate menu button function as a multitasking button without changing any of the other buttons. Is this possible?
So I've seen the kernels that will allow you to make the HTC logo act as a capacitive menu button. Has anyone looked into completely remapping all the buttons?
I'd like to see the HTC logo be the home button and the current home button turned into the menu button.
Would that be possible? Inquiring minds want to know.
I still haven't switched to Nova Launcher, I'm happy with sense atm, but when it auto downloaded on initial setup, the HTC logo brought up the home selector.. Seems like nova will let you customize use.

I'm running Nova. I don't recall seeing that during the set up. There are a lot of settings to change the CURRENT Home button into whatever you'd like it to be but nothing on mapping the "HTC Button".

I think that would definitely be possible. I'd suggest posting in the kernel thread to see if this is something the dev would look into

Hi,
Your thread has been moved to the proper subforum. Please be mindful where you make posts in the future.

You'll need an unlocked bootloader but this kernel allows you to remap the HTC Button as "Home" and the Home button as "Menu". That's, from what I've seen far, the closest you'll get.
Hi...looking for help as I can`t find a resolution to this ...I have connverted my HTC one to a GPE running 4.4.2 just cos i wanted to try it.
is there any way of remapping the home/back buttons as you can in the stock sense ROM so that long press home is Menu swipe up for Google Now etc...
can`t see it anywhere in the options and hate seeing the ... menu button taking up scren space in applications.
Thanks
Rick

You could try TeamSeven's kernel. It has options to make the HTC logo into a menu button and offers some swap options as well.

I'm running it on a GPE rom without issue.
Coming from S2, I know it is long overdue lol, and got used to touch-style Home button, I would love to get back to home by just tapping instead of pressing Home button. Is it even possible?
Thanks.

There are two ways that it can be done.
Once we have a proper custom recovery like twrp you can use the softkey mod
which has the option of adding three softkeys menu/home/back buttons on the
bottom of your screen, they look exactly like real softkeys and are transparent.
The other way to do it would take a bit of getting used to is
the mod which can re-assign the back and menu keys to be
the home key or basically any anything else and can be
configured for long press, double tap or single tap.
Some of the high end launchers already have this feature of
re-assigning keys built-in like the "Next launcher 3D shell".
The Next launcher even has option to replace the home key
by simply swiping up or down to replicate the home button's
default/normal single tap.
With the Next Launcher, we do not even need root or custom recovery.
Good luck!
I've used Go launcher free version forever and got used to swipe down anywhere to bring down notification, I wonder if TouchWiz has this function? With the phone of this size, this function is a must.
And I miss AOSP dialer, swipe left or right to go to next tab. Touchwiz's dialer has the tabs on the top, makes it impossible to use it 1 hand.
