This is an extremely useful feature, especially for phones with fewer soft buttons. It's this little navigation bar pointed out in the picture below.
You can customize each of the buttons on it and can change the total number of buttons.
The best thing about it is it is ALWAYS visible, and only switches to a less intrusive form for fullscreen videos.
It is IMHO the single best reason to unlock a phone and put on a custom ROM. For increasing productivity/efficiency, no other feature compares.

Does this feature have an official name? (I've seen it called several things but nothing consistent.)
Was it a feature of one particular ROM?
Do any current ROMs for HTC One have it?
Thanks!
It's probably a Nexus-based ROM as they don't have hardware keys. As we do we don't on-screen buttons
You can get this feature if I'm not wrong also with aicp rom for htc one and Kang roms, search on the original android development, and try them

Can you get the nav bar without installing aokp?

If you're rooted, I think you might be able to get it via GravityBox. Haven't really tried that yet.

Hi,
I just got my Magic last night. Are there any alternative locking apps ala S2U2 or something for it?

Is this worth the $1.99. How customizable is this program?
There is a free version as well. The only difference between the free and paid is that the paid version has the function of downloading skins and unlock sounds directly from the app.
You can try it out to see if it is customisable enough for you.
lock2.wordpress.com is the official site. they always posting up new themes/skins. the app isnt worth it in my opinion, its buggy and uses a lot of resources. plus it isnt a real security program. more about the looks if thats what u want.
here one skin they have

Also there is rotate unlock.
Problem I have with both these apps that airplane mode doesn`t work anymore. It disables the standard lock, which also ensures you can enter your pin..
The slide unlock looks pretty good and reacts quite fast.
The rotate unlock is something else, but it works quite well. But using it I cannot drag down my status bar and the search button stop working.
So I am still looking for something that doesn`t cripple the phone while looking good .
This is the home app from Galaxy S, it works on our phones but there are some minor graphical bugs. Which could probably be fixed. Ive only tried it on 2.2, should work on a 2.1 rom, maybe 1.6...

Well it works on the G1 (CM5.0.8), but the graphics are certainly out of whack.. and I think some of the stock applications have different names in TouchWiz that cause it to only put Messaging in the dock. I'm gonna look into editing this after I boot back into Windows and try to make it better.

I just wanted to share it, i want to implement this into a theme when its in working state.
i would love to see work done on this i found it before in the nexus one forum but its pretty basic with none of the touchwiz stuff even thoughit has a section for the widgets.
I have Continuum ROM installed on my device, but the only problem I have is the dialer. For god knows what reason, the middle button is the message button with the dial button off to the left. Since there is a dedicated messaging app, I don't see why it should be in the middle when this is the dialer.

Any way to get the stock dialer back?
Swapped the buttons for you(or anyone else that follows). Themed or unthemed, take your pick.
Just flash with CWM Recovery for ease. Or take the APK out of the zip and copy over with Root Explorer.

Pure perfection! Thanks so much. It was one of my few gripes about the ROM
Hopefully the same thing doesn't have to be done with his latest edition of the ROM.

I respect your preference, however, doesn't every single phone in this world have the call button placed in the left corner?
Ok This idea came to me earlier today, sense 2.1 roms (Speedy ports) have a recently used apps bar in the notifications menu. Well I found a better use for it,
Instead of seeing the app you just closed why not display common everyday apps? e.g. phone, flashlight, facebook, twitter, camera. See that way you don't have to run around your UI to find what you want, It's simply a drag and drop away

The con is this.
Making the apks run in a list and then closing (background) constantly may effect you wanting to see your recently used apps (The one where you just long press home button and it displays) those apps the first 4 or so will be which ever default you have set up. any way I'm seeking some help with this I'm not new but nor am I marinated in sense feature modifying.
Any one interested?
also My current method an apk that opens and closes each app seems to cause issues (obviously) so I'm seeking help in doing the proper system edit to get this Modification up and running.
Original thread
So, I know on the long list of problems in the world, this is probably the lamest but it is something that bugs me.
I have an HTC One GE 4.3 (sinless Rom for those that want to know) and whenever I connect it to my computer, this ugly icon is displayed in the windows explorer:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
I have a beautiful HTC One .ico file that I want to replace it with, but I've been searching how to do this for about three days to no avail. I've even installed the horrendous HTC Sync software just for the drivers that were undoubtedly included with it, that didn't work.
I suspect it's because I'm using a GE rom on my phone as opposed to an untouched sense ROM, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also just in case you can't tell, I'm running Windows 8.
I hate double posting, but it appears I FINALLY found a solution, so I thought I'd share.
I found this topic thread on another site, and after initially running into problems, It finally worked!
Here is the final result!
If anyone wants to do this with their own HTC One, here is the .ico file I used.
