I have an AT&T HTC One running OEM 4.4.2
I am unable to get the capacitive home button to display the settings menu at my home screen. I have set the home button to "hold for menu and swipe up for Google" in the System Settings menu.
I am able to get this feature to work in Nova Launcher, but I cannot get the settings menu to appear on the home screen using HTC BlinkFeed. I prefer having this menu shortcut available versus having to use the settings icon. I am used to this feature being available with my previous Samsung phones.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to change what the '+' button at the bottom of the home screen does. At the moment it links to the ad widget/program/shortcut option menu. but once you have your home screen all sweet you don't really need this. You can always just long press on the screen to reach this menu anyway.
I would like to customize this button to launch directly into an application, or perhaps a shortcut to a sound profile context menu.
Any ideas?
Tried loading Lorex Mobile Lite on new S5 today. App appears to load fine. When I run it splash screen shows up then blank screen with "No DVR set up hit menu> add connection. There is no menu button anywhere on screen. Running 4.4.2 The same app on my wife's Nexus 7 tablet running 4.4.2 shows a menu button to right of the return button on bottom of screen an then works correctly. Any idea how to get menu button to show up or atleast get into menu?

I've run into this on a few apps. no settings menu icon in the app, no settings menu to the left of to the home key...
if you press and hold the multi tasking button the settings menu will come up.

open the app you are trying to access the settings menu of.
press and hold the button to the left of the home button.
the settings menu of that app will then open.
pressing and holding what used to be the settings button still functions as the old settings button.

i'm running ViperOne, everything is great. is there any way to add widgets to the main lockscreen instead of having to swipe pages? like in sense 5
EDIT: nevermind, i figured it out. for anyone else wondering how to do this, go to the "lock screen" tab in venom tweaks...under "misc", tick "remove default widget"...now press power button to lock... press power button again to turn screen on...click the plus sign on the lockscreen...and voila
Is their an option on the N4 to show the menu options on the screen? I know i can drag the menu icon to my home screen. but im looking for a quick way to access the menu settings.
Holding down the left "recents app" button down should bring up the respective menu on whatever screen you are currently on.
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.
