I can't seem to figure out how to turn off the black bar with the 3 dot menu button on my google edition. I am using xposed framework and gravitybox to map the menu button to long hold home. Is there a way to disable the black nav bar 3 dot menu using xposed some how? I am aware of the build.prop method of doing it but that way removed the 3 dot menu from chrome and apps that have one built in.
Thanks.
I am also having this problem. Help would be greatly appreciated!
I am not sure if any mod can do it but you can install a custom kernel like Bulletproof, it will give you the option which installation if you want to remove the 3 dot menu and keep htc logo as the menu button.
Hit thanks if this helps

i have my HTC button mapped to the menu button. i've noticed that all the mods that remove the black 3-dot menu button that pops up across the bottom of the screen also remove the built-in 3-dot menu button in apps (like the one in the upper right of the Google Play Store, for instance). i assume this is because they are being told there is a hardware menu button, so they shouldn't show their built-in menus.
my question: is there a way to remove the annoying black bar across the bottom menu button, but keep the built-in app menu buttons?
Install a jellybean sense rom. Hold home for menu and keep the built in menu on apps that have it.
thanks, but i was hoping for a way that would work across ROMs.
build.prop change to fix this
I've managed to fix this by changing build.prop
Edit or add the entry
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
In /system/buildprop, save and reboot
The value was 1 previously.
Edit: This is also with having the Bulletproof ROM installed.
Edit 2: On further inspection, I can't seem to get it to work while also hiding the three dot menu on the legacy apps. Gah.

OK so I have it working again as expected and I am not sure how I did it ... in the Play Store app I get the three dot menu up the top right and in other apps, the menu bar is missing. My build.prop file has no entry for qemu.hw.mainkeys anymore... so maybe it's something in my ROM? Currently Bulletproof 5.3.
So when I was using the Android Rev HD with the back button mod, I was able to remove the black bar using "qemu.hw.mainkeys" while still keeping the menu button on apps like Chrome that support it (NOT in the form of black bar). But since I flashed the GE Rom, qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 will disable the black bar but also remove the menu button in all apps that have it.

Anyone?

install the xposed mods and enable menu overflow button.
works perfectly
With 4.2,2 Sense 5 gives you the option to long press the home button to use as menu which also removed the black legacy bar. I have been looking for something similar for the Google Edition Rom's but haven't found it. I know you can flash a custom kernel and use logo 2 menu which removes the black bar but is there a mod I am missing which will do it similar to the sense way?
Thanks
Hi Everyone,
I am using HTC One (M7) unrooted that was recently upgraded to Android Lollipop 5.0.2 and I started noticing a black button with three white dots appearing on my screen when I enter certain apps. Tapping it would just toggle the settings menu in the app. Double tapping it wouldn't do anything. Press hold would enable me to move the button to anywhere I like on the screen.
I have no use for it since I have it set up from my Settings that I would open the settings menu by long pressing my Home button. Does anyone also know of this, and if so, how do I remove it? I attached a screen shot for your reference (look at top right corner). Thanks in advance!
I'm interested in finding a solution to this too. No luck in the default.xml, at least for search terms "overflow" and "menu". MaximusHD 52.0, 5.0.2
Confirming this is really annoying & I'd like to know if there is a way to get rid of it?
Hi, I've got the same with galaxy s6 edge and android 5.0.2
It seems that only apps without direct implementation of the android three dots menu have this problem.
Could somebody help please ?
floating button
Same here. Irritating whilst using Mobo Player
The only way you are gonna get rid of it is to hide it in the app itself. With less and less phone with buttons the more you will see this.
Solution
I found myself frustrated at this myself today.
The solution is to go to Settings > Display > Buttons > Home and change "press and hold" from Google Now to Menu.
That removes the button from all apps, and you can just hold the home button to access the menu for those apps that need it.
