Just got my m8 and I'm trying to figure out if there was a way to remap (not sure if that's correct term here but...) the recent app button?
What I mean is, on my OneXL there was a way to change the recent apps button to be a "menu" button with short tap , and recent apps on long button hold. I used it a lot for an app that we use for work.
I searched around on the forum here for the m8 and didn't see anything so if this has been asked before I apologize. But does anyone know if there's a mod or an xposed mod that would allow this on our phone?
Thanks

I'm interested in this as well.
Edit: If you plan on rooting, you can use ViperOne ROM to customize your buttons. I just switched from Skyfall to try out ViperOne and discovered it.

Yeah, I'm rooted on SkyFall as well. Tried installing ViperOne and got bootloop. I remember that mod from the old ViperXL Rom for the One XL. I'll have re-download and try to install again.

I have a rooted galaxy s3 with custom rom but im just wandering the older version of android has that recent app menu in the notification menu which i liked, is there a way i can get it back ?
What do you mean?

Isn't that a HTC Sense thing?
I just hold the home button and use the task switcher..
This is an HTC thing. An old HTC thing.

I agree
Just like the galaxy nexus the on screen navigation keys.... Back home and recent apps button was great because on the galaxy S3 having to switch recent apps by pressing home button will wear and tear button and takes 2 seconds whereas on screen recent apps button was perfect
I know AOKP rom has this on screen keys mod but any add on that someone is developing or has developed for s3 with touchwiz framework would be winderful.... This new TW is beginning to grow on me

i think goluacher also has a recent and running apps in the menu.
Check out "Task Switcher" by gdroid on play store (com.gdroid.fastfive).
Personally I didn't like it, as the curtain doesn't close automatically. But it seems to work fine.
Maybe a developer can bake it back in once some roms start flowing. But nothing I've seen. Let us know!

Good job posting what the guy on top of you posted. How helpful.
There is a new app on the market called Multitask Shortcut, it's not free (only £0.50 though) and I have not tried it but it does seem to do what you are after (check out the video he has on the app page)...

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?
Sent from my new Dinc4G using xda app-developers app
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

just realised i can remove the verizon apps tab in the app drawer, and if you just have only one tab the tab bar dosent show up. Its nice.

I'm trying to find a way to get rid of that power save notification but I can't find a way help please..
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
For now, you can long press it the notification, get App Info, and force close. This will make the notification go away. It'll come back on a device reboot, but at least this might hold you over.
Custom Rom fixed that for me!

If you root your phone, install "Xposed Installer" and download the "MoDaCo Toolkit" module, you'll be able to turn on a feature which allows your to disable any system notification you want, just by viewing the app's info.
The benefit of this is that the power saving app will still function.
I still have sense. Trick droid Rom is mostly stock with nice added features like removing the 3 dots and mapping the menu to the HTC logo.

As one person stated, just install Xposed Toolkit... easy, quick and safe.

Can someone direct me to a link or give me instruction on how to make the HTC logo a working "button". Thanks for any assistance
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
install one of the many custom kernels that have added support for it found in original development
Install one of the custom kernels that has this feature. You'll see it in the thread title - "HTCtomenu" or something like that. Kernel threads also usually have instructions. Look in the development sections.

Be aware the logo is not the button, but a small section of screen above it.

I wasn't a fan of it even after getting used to it.
Holding back button for menu isn't actually that bad and it's probably the method I will continue using.

it annoys me that EVERYTHING with a menu button gets hidden. Like the market, it had one at the top, its gone now and you have to hold back.
I would almost rather remove the mod and deal with the overflow button on the few apps it appears on.
It was like this on the One X as well.
The button thing with HTC is quite annoying

Install Xposed mod and the MoDaCo Toolkit and select always show software button.
Anyone figure out how to switch the soft keys? I want the back button on the right side.
Thanks

Viper Rom let's you change what the button does. Symbol won't change though. You can also program long press and double press. I've got back, menu, home, screen off, voice, recents, and kill app all programmed to them.
