Is there anyway to change it from the default short hold the home button to double click the home button? Thanks.
On stock I could never get double tap for recents working using xposed which is the only way I know to try. As for custom roms they have the ability built in. Maybe things have improved so try using an xposed module to get the double tap
Sadly, I use ART on stock so no Xposed. I'll be waiting around.

I just flashed cm10.2, and I noticed there's no option to have the htc logo work as a menu button like in 4.2
Is there any sort of fix for this?

i think it's there by default
Double tap the home button.
Or was it press and hold?
Either way, CM decided that the HTC logo button wasnt as good.
Expect the logo2menu to be implemented soon.

Press and hold gets you recent apps, double tap the menu. There is a settings item to change this but doesn't seem to have any effect currently.
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

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?
Is there any way to add extra buttons to the nav bar in stock (.283) like you can in AOKP, Carbon, etc.? I don't even need all of them, just the last app button. There are some apps that do this by adding a floating button (LAS), but I want it on my nav bar. UDN doesn't work right, and doesn't let me customize the buttons for some reason. The only other way I've found is to decompile the SystemUI, but I'd rather not do something that risky if there's an alternative. I was on Carbon for a long time and I really loved this feature, but I need the battery life that stock gives. I've found Xposed modules for everything else I'm used to, this is the only thing missing. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

use gravity box and add custom key to get it!
:good:
I've tried that, and it's not suitable for several reasons. First off, GB causes layout problems in the recents panel, making the small apps inaccessible. No matter what I toggle, it doesn't go away unless I disable GB. Also, the button appears to the extreme side; I was hoping to get it as a main nav button, like in the custom ROMs.
Looks like I might have to decompile after all. Oh, well. Thanks for your reply, though!
I used this xposed module on sock 4.3 for modify navbar buttons:
Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons
I don't know is it working on 4.4 or not. I am using Carbon at the moment.

This is a known bug in the latest GravityBox version. Download the ”no_translucent_recent” version from this post.

You might not even need a separate button — with GravityBox you can assign actions to the long press of the “Recent Apps” button, and to the long press and double tap of “Back” and “Home” buttons. There is also the “Navigation Bar Ring” feature (you can add more actions than just Google Now).
@kanyazsombor
That module doesn't have a last app button. Thanks anyway!
@sigprof
Long press takes too long, and double tap on anything other than the recent key for a recent app feels... Wrong. Picky, I know, but still. I hadn't thought of using the nav bar ring targets, will try that as soon as I can, and the bug fix you mentioned. Thanks for your help!
I suddenly feel like a total noob. I've just upgraded to stock lollipop.
I can't decide whether it is a bug after upgrade or whether I don't have a clue.
I cannot access recent apps. I've tried double tapping the home button, sliding up from the home button, (thought that was the Google Now shortcut) and neither seem to do anything. I really miss task switcher. Can someone tell me whether I'm doing anything wrong, or is there a bug in the stock rom?
Many thanks,
Can anyone just confirm that I should be switching between recent apps by double tapping the home physical button on stock lollipop?
Thanks

i don't need extra keys on that rom . i simply tap twice the screen on any area and the screen just turnes off and the phone locks
As i used destriker it has a power button on the navbar to lock the device..
But if you want you can have xperia xposed to double tap on home screen to lock the device..but not anywhere!

That's it! You need to reboot phone to activate the function.
To make this happen, the Xposed framework application must have first been activated by installing the framework, activating the Xperia Xposed module, and restarting.
Thank you for the reply sir
