Hi,
On the Galaxy S4 you should be able to press the soft menu key on the left side of the home button in the settings menu to make the settings 1 long list like the Galaxy Note 3. Now I did this on a friends model which was unrooted, locked, and standard software and it worked fine. On mine which is rooted, unlocked, LOKI'd etc, running a custom rom I tried doing the same thing and it doesn't work. Is there a link to any mod I can use to enable that feature because I like the longer one menu instead of the 4 tab menu on the GS4?
Any response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

I just tried that on mine (ME7 stock rooted) and it didn't work so maybe if your friend has a different carrier version it has this feature? Well, since you're on a custom rom I guess that doesn't matter, I would suggest Paranoid Android because they have all sorts of options for tablet modes, etc so I'm sure that'll get you what you want.
That feature is still there as I use it as a long list instead of tabbed out. I'm completely stock and have always had that option available

But maybe thats why.. because your completely stock so maybe it is taken out on the roms but works on completely stock? Does anyone know of a mod to flash to enable this setting?

Mine is still not working on ME7... what are you doing exactly? I'm in Settings and tried just pressing menu and holding it down- neither did anything

To go into settings, tap on the "menu" key to the left of the home button, then select "Settings".
Now tap the menu key again. It will pop up a "Switch to list view" message. Tap that to change to list view.
Tap on the menu again and "Switch to tab view" to flip back.
You don't hold the menu button down.

Yeah I tried that and still nothing. I hit the menu key in Settings and it doesn't do anything. Strange. Must have been one of my modifications that broke it somehow. I have Wifi notification gone, e911 gone, volume boost, and international dialer. One of those must of somehow broke it. Thanks anyway
So no luck finding a mod to enable it?

Does anyone know if theres any way to turn off the quickmemo shortcut or at least change the config for the button between the volume rocker. I have the tmo p769 running 10g obviously unrooted. So i need to know if theirs an option in the stock rom. Any help would help, thanks
I think there is no way to turn off the quickmemo shortcut, but you could try disabling it in Settings->Apps->QuickMemo.

If you mean quick memo shortcut in notification bar, I disabled it using edit button (rightmost button in notification bar, if you cannot see it, usually it hidden, just slide to show it)
Turn off the quick memo function.

If you are rooted, please get a hold of the Rom Toolbox from Google Store, I think it is free. If you are not rooted you can find a root for the LGOP in the XDA forums for your phone and carrier. Once rooted you can install and open the Rom Toolbox app. Next find the app manager tab. Under this tab scroll down to find Quick Memo. Tap on it and a menu will come up asking if you want to perform different options, select freeze. This will keep the app, but allow you to stop it's functioning. If this causes any problems you can go back repeat the process and restore it to it's original state by selecting defrost. I did this and it is currently working as a fix for me and I have not had any problems yet.
BTW, I am not an expert, all solutions if they exist may be found online and many of the better ones in this forum.
Good Luck.
You can't disable the QuickMemo app, but you can change what app the QuickButton opens or have it do nothing.
Where to go: Settings > QuickButton > Shortcut
Walkthrough: Go to the phone settings and scroll all the way down to the System section and tap on QuickButton. Then tap on Shortcut and a list of apps will show up. Select an app that you want the button to open. Or if you want it to do nothing, select None at the top of the list. That's it! Simple, right?
My lock key is not funtioning poperly. Does any one knows any other means to lock and unlock my phone
After flashing the Badseed Tranquil ROM, which is amazing, I am missing a lot of the settings which come from the 3 dot access. I have tried to disable->reboot....enable->reboot but still nothing. In particular, Gmail and Dropbox. Any ideas?

I haven't tried it, but, just a thought.. On ViperDNA, some of the 3 dot settings are replaced by the multitask button, which is honestly kind of useless in my opinion anyway.
Try pressing the multitask or holding it.. Maybe that will work..
Good luck
Good though but unfortunately did not work.

Did you ever figure this settings button out? If not, go to settings screen and towards the bottom is the Display, gestures, and buttons tab - under Buttons is Recent Apps button - click it and choose "Press for recent app, press and hold for menu". So, now a long press on the recents button will bring up your settings for individual apps.
Hello All,
I upgraded the GMail app on my One to the latest version and I noticed that there is no longer a 'Settings' button on the menu bar. On other phones (i.e Samsung S3 or S4) you could press the Menu soft button on the phone and click SETTINGS but the One doesn't have the soft key for Menu. I've attached an image of what I'm referring to. I know this it the old version, but just used it for reference.
Any idea how to get to Settings in the Gmail app now?

Yup. I'm having this dilemma too. Either I am stupid, of a very stupid design by google.

So turns out this isn't really Google's fault, it's HTC's. Somehow HTC decided to design this wonderful phone but not include a Menu button. I don't know how this got by designers and approved by HTC but it's a negative for The One, IMO. Don't get me wrong I love the phone, but this is plain silly.
So, in order to get your 'Settings' back (and any other 'menu' function) in the gmail app, you need to install a ROM that has an option to modify one of the soft keys to for 'Long Press = Menu". I personally am using CleanRom. This let's me use a long press on the 'Home' button to activate the Menu options. This will work with any other app on the phone also.
Here's another thread on a work around:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191626
Or just search the forums for: HTCLogoMenu
So ive been search around for a while now on how to fix this. And to anyone that chimes in and says why do you need the menu button obviously you don't use older apps, the new touch button on the screen is a huge annoyance especially since i've used my phones this way since my first S1. Regardless this is how i want it and so do many other people.
Currently this is only for a rooted phone
I have figured out how to remap the left soft key from the App Switcher/Multi window over to the old style menu key. Instructions for that can be found here
But now i don't have any way of switching to my currently open apps, after remapping the left key, the longpress now takes you to search. and long pressing on the home button also takes you to another variation of the search (both i dont use nor want). I want to be able to remap my left softkey on longpress to open up currently open apps (APP_SWITCH) and it would be nice if long pressing on Home could open the Task Manager as it did on my S3.
As far as i can tell editing of the longpress function is done via a Policy edit. Read about that HERE
Keep in mind that post is from 2014 so i have no idea if the internal code is still being handled the same way, i couldn't even find that file on my S6, but i did find a file called SEPOLICY in my root folder using ROOT EXPLORER. Do any of you know more about this and how I can go about changing this? im sure its a code level adjustment. Thanks
Long-press home button can be controlled without root easily.
Check out this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spada.nowgesturetweaksfree
I use the long-press home to get to my last used app.
I wonder if I can remap my buttons to launch any other apps.. Will have to tinker around a bit.

very useful. menu for navigation is long long outdate. software nave or 3 dots is the customary way to go. adding a secondary menu button is redudant and unnecessary. my little ewww comment brought a lot to the table. you tryingt to call me out on it is less useful.

lol f off
If you guys use Dropbox, how do you get to the menu with SORT, etc.. without a menu key. This is making me crazy. I'm using nova launcher and there is no floating menu key. ????
The problem is if not every developer uses it, it's inconsistent.
It often helps if the options etc. In apps are on the top, so you don't have to fidget with your phone to reach the top or use two hands.
The menu button on every app is positioned somewhere else, so I find the op wanting it justified.
All in one gestures let's you remap every key, for some odd reason on my s4 I can remap the menu key, but on the S6 for some odd reason the option of the menu key has vanished in the same app:what:

Hi pal. Hope it helps. Make 254 button remap, then install nova launcher, in tab gestures select long press menu and then recent app. Profit! Now once tapped you have menu button, long pressed - recent apps.
So, i made it, i use it. It works.

Tools toggle -swipe down, uncheck tools toggle.
S6 only has 3 buttons. Multi tasking, home and back.. Android has a 4th button for settings and the floating 3 dots is the 4th buttons and only appears when an app has it in its code for the 4 settings button.
Other android phones that have on screen buttons also has this as part of the navigation

Yeah I mean it.. Sorry. But I know some rom can disable it. like VN 3.0. This button really buzzy me.
It's part of Lollipop for apps that haven't updated to the fact phones don't have hard menu button. App needs to be updated by Dev.
