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.

Hey guys-
This mod (flashable in recovery) will remap your recent apps button to a menu button and remove the on-screen 3 dot menu. Most people prefer this.
Unfortunately, I haven't had time to edit your android.policy.jar yet so you won't be able to longpress anything for recent apps menu.
So basically you lose access to the recent apps menu, but this gets rid of the 3-dot on-screen menu button and makes your recent app hardware button a menu button. In the future, this limitation will be fixed.
To revert, flash the UNDO.zip
Think we could flash one from the Evo 4g LTE? Or is the .Jar file different.
jar is probably different.
Lovin this one Con, great job.
This 3 button remap is key...I'm playing around flashing different test builds and this damn mod should be factory.
I'm using Nova Launcher, which has the option to use gestures for accessing recent apps. If I install this 3 Button Remap mod, my recent apps softkey will act as a menu button, but will the gesture I've set for accessing recent apps work as designed or will it also be remapped and act as a menu button?

Probably. It won't break recent apps. If there is something else that can trigger it, it will still work. It just disables your ability to get into it via hardware buttons.

Sweet, thanks. I'm gonna root and install this mod tonight... I'll post a definitive answer in case anyone else wants to know.
I forgot to include an Undo.zp
I will make that shortly.

Just installed the 3 button mod... all is well. In Nova Launcher, the gesture to bring up recent apps still works. But this only applies to when you're on your home screen.For viewing recent apps while you're in an app, I've set the menu button (formerly recent apps button), the open recent apps with a long press.
Love this mod.
Any chance you can create a mod like this to remap recent apps to search?

Has there been any more development made on this? I really want to remap the buttons, but I don't want to lose my Recent Apps either.

I'm using ukb lte rom. Recent apps button is now "settings". And long pressing the home button brings up "recent apps". Its perfect, I think.

I'm not really interested in flashing a new ROM right now, as I'm pretty happy with Sense as it is. Also, I'm not sure what use Settings is like that. I'd rather have the Recent Apps button do Menu.

UKB is a Sense ROM and it has the recent apps button as the menu. Plus it has a bunch of other features stock does not come with.

essentially the difference between ukb and stock sense is
advanced power menu (reboot recovery, hboot, hot boot)
remove htc linkify (app associations)
button remapping (back button is same, but long press home key is recent apps, and recent apps button is a menu key)
edit: and extended quick settings of course
theres a ton of other stuff but id consider those the main differences
Hi guys, long time no modding Recently since the Droid Ultra announced and the peculiarities about the buttons setup, i got an idea about placing the Menu button as Recent Apps button like in Droid Ultra. But what about legacy apps you say? don't worry, just like Droid Ultra, just long press it and release, then additional hidden setting will come up. If your apps are 4.0 and up, the Overflow button will be added in the Title Bar so no need to long press to reach the menu.

Still looking for better long press behavior though, should be popping up the menu while pressing instead of when the button got released.
FAQ:
Q: Which ROM is compatible?
A: 982.124.14 ROM of RAZR JB. Au or Eu version etc is compatible.
Q: Why not the Search button on our RAZR?
A: Because the code is too complex and with additional Google Search functionality, too much to be edited. Better yet, i intended to publish this mod as tutorial (once the long press behavior is fixed) And i don't really want to remove the Google Now experience altogether by just remapping the key, so i chose the menu button.
Version History:
1.0
- Release
1.2
- Added Second Haptic Feedback when long press the menu button.
- Remove Long Press event on Home
Trying now. Running Dirty unicorns with JBX kernel. Post results if you wish...
(Clever signature___here)
------------edit------------
Too risky. Sorry...I will just remap the hardware keys using my rom. But thanks for the mod and the idea. Lol.
New version has been added, which added a second haptic feedback after long press. Trying to make the menus out while pressing but it doesn't work quite well.
Hey Folks,
I wanted to know if anyone has a tipp for an xframework module wich brings the Menu-Button how it was before 4.4.2.
I only find modules wich forces the menu button to have the app swich function...
Cheers!
Push.

"Xposed Additions" will give you the ability to remap every key (even softkeys) as you like

Did you explored settings?
Usually custom ROMs allows users to change behavior of every buttons.
