I just flashed AOKP, but the only way I can find a menu button is to enable the NavBar. Is there a way to make the recent apps short press be the menu button and make recent apps long press?

You need to edit the buttons in system/user/keylayout.
That pathway is not even close to what u need but if you search the thread you'll find the correct path

System/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
Edit were it says APP-SWITCH to MENU save an reboot but you will lose the press and hold for recent apps
Also why you not give root box ROM a try it has all AOKP features plus the option you're looking for like in CM10 to remap these button

Just switched over from Samsung Fascinate (hey nitsuj17). 4g is super fast I'm loving this phone, got all the vzw bloat disabled. Can't wait for s-off, root and all that good stuff.
I have one question though. Why is there no notification quick-settings, wasn't that added in 4.1?

Added by nit... Settings in the upper right hand corner is similar.
I thought the one x and other HTC phones had the quick setttings tab on stock.

They did. We didn't get the recent app button remap either.

That's the way I felt till I started using it. Now I love it. I still find myself wanting the search button.

I thought I was gonna hurl the thing out a window when I first got it. Now I use the recent apps button all the time. I sure miss having them rotate though
And I agree, I miss the search button.
Long press on the home button for recent apps is more efficient use of the buttons. Then the recent apps button could be search.

Unless I am mistaken, this is how the "3-button mod" works. It will be another benefit of the pending root.

quick setting and htc on sense4/4.1/4/5/4+ has been an oddity for sure across the one series and other phones
on random ota/roms they enable it, others they disable it, others they completely remove the code
many sense4.1 ota's enabled a toggle in settings that allowed for switching of "recent" apps to menu...ours didnt for some reason
once you are rooted, custom roms fix this issue...and viperRom allows you to completely remap the long presses of all 3 buttons, and select what you want the menu to be
cant wait for root then

Its not that you have to be rooted to use the menu button. Its just that the sense launcher i.e. Rosie.apk, doesn't have the menu button unlocked on stock. Really no need for it. So you have to edit the apk to use it on home screen.

Did you even try to search? There are currently two different options and both are easily found if you put in minimal effort.
ok i have done a TON of research but have yet to get the issue resolved. as we all know it has been well documented that the dna has issues with getting mms to work with an att sim card. hoiwever, i did speak with att and they said that my sim card COULD be the issue. something about it being a 3g card and the stream of #'s is not compatible?
think thats possible?
anyone else have any luck with changing the sim card out?
ill go out on a limb and ask if anyone has the correct apn or mms settings. i can get internet but the dreaded mms is a no go. i did manage to get ONE mms to come thrrough on my phone but i have a feeling it was a fluke. also that was multiple days and tries ago.
id hate to part with such an awesome device but i do need mms...
any help would be awesome!
Have you tried another texting app? Go sms seemed to send and recieve mms for me.

i did download the gosms app. however, i couldnt find where to put the mms settings in. is there a how to for that? im willing to give it another go.
Here is how you get to the mms settings in go sms. Just get to the menu in the app and follow the pictures I have attached. Then fill in the correct apn settings and make sure they save and it should work. (I don't know the apn settings for AT&T but I'm sure if you Google it or search xda you can find it) I would reboot after you change them and then test it and see if it works. Hopefully it does.
Good luck
If I have helped you please press the thanks button.

thanks so much for the pics. however i cannot seem to access that menu. i can only access the side menu with all the add ons and goodies. i feel like a fool, certain button i should be pressing?
Look for an onscreen menu button or if you have your soft keys set up to bring up a menu use that but there should be some settings or on screen menu somewhere.

Well that's up to you. I would just flashed viper dna since the recent apps button also acts like a menu for short press and then acts as a recent apps button when you long press it. But that's up to you. Let me know if you get it to work.

Almost all roms allow remapping of the recent apps button.

You can press and hold and it will bring up 3 options one of them being google.

You can also get "home2 shortcut" which will allow you to use double tap to open any app. I use it to make google now my voice search
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
you can also edit what the buttons do if you are rooted just edit /system/urs/keylayout/generic.kl AND /system/usr/keylayout/gpiokeys.kl to have the buttons be whatever you like the main buttons are 139 menu 158 back and 172 home. Make sure you dont erase the wake or wake_dropped if you want them to work like before. You can erase it if you want the home button to not wake up the phone.
You can also bring up the on screen keys like a tablet with one line to build.prop if you want. Just add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the end of build.prop and the on screen keys will appear on reboot
