[Q] Home swipe for Recent on AOSP/GPE/CM - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm a proud user of TeamVenom rom based on Sense 7 from M9. It has incorporated my beloved function of swiping up from home to get recents menu, and unfortunately it has gotten so much into my muscle memory it'd be hard to learn any new tricks. I'd like to jump To GPE 5.1 since I like the vanilla Ui more, but any of the roms I found have the swipe function.
Is there any Xposed module/Kernel feature/mod to get that feature back on my M7 when on... Well anything BUT sense?

[Q] Sense Home Button Functionality on AOSP

So on the Sense 4.2.2 ROMS, the home button works like this:
-Double Tap brings up recent apps
-Long Press brings up menu
-Swiping up brings up Google Now
So my question is this: Is it possible to bring this same functionality to the Google Edition Rom, or any other AOSP Rom for that matter?
And if so, can anyone help me down the right path?
THANKS!
I know this is a but old but bumping because I really want swipe up from home as google now on CM10.1:good:

there are many software keys customisations on aosp roms for long and shortpress, but I think there is no double tap feature...is the only thing missing to set up keys like you want...
can't you map keys in other way? i think that swiping up for gnow is impossible on aosp

I can and have but it's less intuitive than that sense way maybe just because I got used to that first but it did seem to work better, holding down menu for google now is not great especially since menu is already a bit jumpy with not actually being a real button

[Q] Change long-press home button functionality?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before or if I'm in the wrong section. I couldn't find any threads regarding this for the HTC One, but then again the search function seems to act a bit dodgy for me at the moment.
Anyway, I'm looking for a way to modify what long-pressing the home button does. I'm currently running on InsertCoin 3.0-14 with ElementalX as kernel (4.2 if I'm not mistaken).
Ideally, I want the long-press of home to show the recent apps rather than google now. I never use Google now, and I often use recent apps. Double tapping the home button is nowhere near as easy as long-pressing the home button for me, it also feels way more intuitive.
Has anyone had any luck doing this? I do recall this is possible in other launchers, but I prefer using Sense as I like the look and feel of it.

[Q] Need a play edition ROM with navbar capability

Hello all,
Ok, so I've gone to the end of my wits here. So long story short, I've been using a Galaxy Nexus for a long time and have grown accustomed to stock android and the navbar buttons.
As a result, I've tried to get my One to run with a nav-bar, problem is so far, only Paranoid android seems to let me do that.
* Any stock GPE ROM by default doesn't have it
* I've tried editing build.prop in GPE: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" but that doesn't do anything. Reading up, I think that only changes how the menu buttons works, rather than the Navbar?
* Root programs like virtual Navbars cover up the bottom of the screen.
* I've tried Xposed scripts, which also don't work.
Have I missed anything? While the PA roms more ore less work, the speakers are noticeably softer and poorer in sound quality... i don't have a working IR blaster and GPE roms work much smoother... I'd even settle with a HTC sense rom as long as I can get the Navbar working.
Thanks
Just curious as to the point of having physical keys and on-screen keys at the same time. Seems like a waste of screen real estate, and redundant as well
Use "ultimate dynamic navbar". A quick search will lead you to the devs thread which offers a free version with a decent amount of customization and a paid version with many more features. You're welcome

From memory, on the gpe, we don't have an option to hide the three dot menu, and it takes up the bottom section of the screen. If that's the case I'd rather it be the nav bar which serves more purpose.
Regarding dynamic navbar, that's the one that I mention that cuts into the bottom of the screen (sometimes it covers buttons if I leave it on permanently), but seeing that I'm running out of options, I'm going to force myself to get used to the hiding navbar. Might be a nice middle ground.

What about Pie Controls? Try LMT Launcher, it doesn't waste space, is highly customizable and is perfect for HTC One, because there is no capacitive button below the screen in the middle.

You could try TeamSeven's kernel. It has options to make the HTC logo into a menu button and offers some swap options as well.

I'm running it on a GPE rom without issue.

Soft Keys

I use the N6 as a righty so having to reach for the back button in one handed use is tough. Has anyone seen an easy way to swap the back and recents soft keys?
You'd have to root to swap. Try Pie controls from the app stote. Make sure to enable the back button in the settings.

I always install this one on every Android device. Started with the note 2 [emoji2]
Only have home, back, and recent on the pie
LMT Launcher is on all my phones. It's not really a Launcher either, just the name.
Not yet available, will have to wait for custom ROMs with this feature or manually do the changes via code.
