I just installed ViperOne 7.0.1 on my HTC One M7. I can't manage to open the recent apps menu with any button (long-press home or back button, double tap home or back button). I tried changing its style to AOSP with no luck. Everything was working fine on Cyanogenmod 11s.
Did you perform a full wipe after coming from cm to a sense based ROM like ViperROM?
If you open VenomTweaks and scroll over to 'Buttons, Gestures & Keyboard' and then down to 'Double-press Actions' (or long-press actions), you can set that to open Recent Apps.
This was annoying me too but I finally figured it out

Hi All,
I've change my phone to a HTC One and the 3-dot menu button appears at the bottom in a black strip (that seems to take about 10% of the entire screen) for many popular applications. Some of these applications include:
- Facebook
- Dolphin Browser HD
- many popular games (including some angry birds variants)
This 3-dot menu button seems to waste valuable screen estate to say the least and is very annoyance for some applications (games, video playback) where the full screen game/video does not really take the entire 1280x720 screen.
Do you know a possibility to remove it? for example on my Sony Xperia Z I don't have this problem.
Thanks for your help,
In 4.2.2 based rom you can disable the "3 dots menu" changing the behaviour of the home button,
to do this you have to go:
settings-->display->home button-> and select the second option,
now you'll go to every application settings just keeping pressed your home button
It's a choise of htc because we have only two capacitive buttons.
However, if you're on android 4.1.2 you can remove it with a mod or a custom rom.
With android 4.2.2 we can remove this with an htc implementation

I'm still on stock rom and for the moment I'm happy. So I need to wait the 4.2.2 who are suppose to out soon.
Thanks
Or you can root and install a custom 4.2.2 rom NOW
Is the a way to see the extra bar on the recent apps that appears on stock ROM in a CM 10.2 ROM?
I really miss that feature, to search in google now just by long pressing the home button and to be able to see all the recent apps.
Edit: I found a way, by double tap home button
Since a few days I cannot get in the multitasking menu any more (double click on home does nothing). I tried various Sense-Roms (Sense 5.5, Android 4.4) and Kernels. After the install I can access the multitasking menu but as soon as I reboot the device the first time it won't work any longer and I have to re-install the ROM to get it working again (until next reboot). Currently I am running Android Revolution 41.0 with latest ElementalX Kernel (as already mentioned before - I tried other ROMs and Kernels too).
It could be that you have to hold the the home menu to bring up the multitasking

Stock ROM, CWM Recovery
No. This will open Google Now. Long Press brings me to the multitasking menu on other ROMs (Omni...) but not on Sense.
try holding the home button or double tapping home. some roms are set up different. if you cant figure it out you can always use an xposed mod to change what the home button does and set it to long press or double tap
I tried out double tapping and holding the home button. As I said before - holding home will open Google Now and double tap will just act as two normal tapps on home (closes App and brings me to home screen). Is there an XPosed Module you can recommend?
So I am on a custom ROM (FireNote) and it changed my home button longpress to open up "Device options". I want to change it back to open my task manager/recent apps, just like it does on stock. I have installed several apps and I still cant get it to go back :/ I guess another thing to mention is that I am running NOVA launcher.
FIXED! In Wanam exposed under system you change long press home behavior to something else and then change it back to recent apps or whatever you want and reboot.

If you want to change/add more button functionality, you could try gravity box.
It has a navigation button section where you can change all the buttons.
I for example made the display turn off when long pressing menu button, which is pretty handy on a large device like the note 3
I just recently flashed the CM13 and I found out the recent apps has to be accessed using the home button! I prefer the original lollipop button layout so I went searching around and found the 'Button' option in the settings and I was able to customise the home button, power button and the volume rocker but there was no option to customise the menu key to use it to access the recent apps!
I searched the settings for Menu and it showed up there but when I tap it, it goes back to the 'Button' options but it doesn't appear anywhere in there.
What do I do?
Same here, its frustrating. Do you have solved your problem?
