Hey peeps
if anyone would know how to disable the bottom 3dot menu, and just to long press home key for menu like they did on the htc one / x etc....
Cheers
I wish I had a three dot menu button.
Xposed may fix the 3dot disable option. Venom rom has the option to edit the home key long press to offer menu or other choices.
Yes you will need a custom ROM such as mentioned above, also Viper ROMS support this function.

Am i missing your question? Are you not able to do it by using Settings -> Display, Gestures & buttons -> Buttons ->Home?

Do any roms have the 3 dot bar removed and remapped the multitask key to the menu instead.
Thx
no buddy not yet.
but you know there isnt yet, but you still made a thread to ask. there are only 3 roms out. give it some time man
There's a mod for exactly that. No ROM with it baked on. It's too polarizing an issue.

No ROMS do but you can flash this mod found here. He has one for stock and viperROM. It will remove the three dots, remap menu to recents, and remap long home press to recents. If you aren't unlocked you can extract the apk, jar, and kl files and push them to your phone and set permissions to rw-r--r-- if you have root.
I kinda want a mod where you just long press the recent apps key to get the menu. I don't really like remapping the menu button to the recent apps and longing pressing home for recent apps.

I believe there is something in the works that let's you choose what you want the buttons to do..as of right now I beleieve the current remapped keys were just what the majority were looking for.

In a couple weeks, the Developer section for the HTC EVO 4G LTE should be overflowing with mods. I'm sure at least one of them will do what I want.
But I'm really hoping for a AOSP themed ROM though.
Flashing both in the dev section remap buttons worked for me
Flashing vipers first http://db.tt/xlvj8foG
Than http://db.tt/CW6nSF9V the stock one from the op removed dots and allows long press home recent apps .
If you want a step further flash vipers newest update i did it it changed battery icon size but that's about it anf noe enabled the recent app button to long press search and still has menu option
I'm on freezas Rom twrp recovery

You can easily do that in Sense. Go to Settings > Display, gestures & buttons > Recent apps button and select how you want the multitask button to act
Back in June, which is when this thread is from, that wasn't an option on the stock ROM.
It wasn't added in until the first ota update.

there were three buttoms on our phone
back home and menu
but the ics's three buttom is back home and multitask
i am wondering that can someone mod menu buttom to multitask buttom?
when i press menu and i will open multitasking screen just like original ics
and sorry for my poor engliah
Here you can see what has happend to the menu button.
There where you need it, it is a little button on the right corner or on playstore right left corner.
But the optiones are not away, in ICS you've got more options!
You still need that menu button for legacy apps, otherwise you couldn't access the menu.
Long-pressing home button still acts as a multitask button.

I'd prefer the option to use the menu button as a multitasking button, get the settings icon in proper ics apps, and long press for menu in legacy apps. Is that option available?

since ICS htc made phones with 3 keys back home and tasks while samsung and LG made back home and menu and long press on the home key take you to tasks...
so my question is that some old application that does not have the 3 dots at top that replacing the menu key let you access setting and more only by ptessing the menu key so....
my question is how does it work?
thank you for your answer
To get rid of the black settings bar, there's an option in settings. After that's changed, you have the option of short pressing the recent apps key for settings and long press for multitask/recent apps or vice versa.

I'm not looking for soft keys, I want to change the buttons on the bottom of the phone to do different things. Like this (nexus layout):
Left Menu Button ---> Back Button
Middle Home Button <---> Home Button
Right Back Button ---> Recent Apps (multitasking)
Is this possible?
Many custom Roms support this

This is the best answer ever.
xD
Those are terrible answers....
Anyway, if I manage to do what I want with the buttons then there's no more "menu button".
Will apps automatically have the "3 dot" menu or will there be no menu at all?
In light of the fact that the links I provided you with (even if it is in a humorous manner) are of no interest to you, I don't really see I can do anything else for you
It is easy, just edit some files

That's could be a problem.
1. Change to AOSP
2. Keep menu button and long home for recent

Hey I was just wondering if anyone knows how to force the three dot overflow menu to appear in a stock rom. For example I prefer to have my menu key remapped as recent apps, but on stock roms, the 3 dot menu button doesn't appear, making it slightly hard to navigate :/. Thanks for any info or ideas.

How did you remap the menu key to recent apps?
