[Q]. Ability to hide menu bar - HTC One X

Hello,
I received my HOX today and I have been seeing pictures and articles about the menu button taking screen space. But on my device I have the ability to hide the bar by clicking a down arrow and bring it back up by holding the multitask button. My question is, is this a feature that got removed from later builds because I'm currently on firmware 1.19.707.1.
Thanks

I don't have that feature, I'm surprised it shipped with a old firmware as I have 1.26 and unbranded now have 1.28. I do wish I had that feature though!

Menu button in apps

This is annoying. I've had my one x for a week and all the apps I still use still have this button with no update from the devs. Do you guys think devs will update their apps to get rid of this on the one x? It takes away too much screen.
I'm a bit annoyed as well, devellopers need to update their apps to have the button on top, this takes a long time before all apps are updated, leave a comment in the Google Play store with all apps you use and hopefully they will update!

good idea
Also, a lot of apps don't even need the menu button at all.
+1
including xda app as well

I'm running firmware 1.19, and I have the option to hide the menu bar. I wonder if its a feature that HTC will re-enable.

Where do you find that option?
a long press multi task button = menu type of ordeal would be awesome!
But i bet that is custom rom territory, don't see HTC being so intuitive

So, I'm not sure if this was a feature they had and then removed from later firmware. If so I hope they bring the feature back, before I get the notice for firmware 1.28

Changing the role of the capacative buttons.

Hello thanks for peeking at this post.
I want to use my capacative buttons in the same way I did on my Galaxy S.
At the moment as there is no dedicated menu button (only the task switcher) a lot of apps - including this XDA app show a bar with three dots and take away from the screen real estate to give me menu options.
Anyone know how I can make the middle button a long press for task manager and use the right button as a menu button (which would hopefully remove this stupid long bar which I find totally stupid and detracts from my enjoyment of this device?
any advice greatly appreciated.

Err....any rom in the development section!
Anyone got a mod that can be done on stock? I dont want to use HTC dev to unlock incase it turns into a duck due to hardware fault (nothing to do with Rom flashing) and it needs to be returned.

3 dot menu ICS option...

Hi all, I've done a number of searches and can't remember if I've made this up in my head. But do I remember correctly reading that HTC were planning an update to include and option to disable the 3 dot menu for non ICS optimised apps?
Thanks

I don't know if they are. I read that someone had looked into the latest update and had seen some coding suggesting that HTC are. If someone can let us know that'd be great as the button annoys me.

You can simply root your phone,get the CWM and get this fix from the developers here on XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25063642&postcount=279
This will remove your 3dot menu bar and simply assign the menu when you long press home or recent apps button.
I was hoping to avoid root for a while unless an alternative to htc-dev was found.

I've read somewhere that an exploit has been found but so far no root method without unlocking your bootloader has been posted.

Surely you should know to post this in the q&a? Hold the widget down until you see the edit button you will know the rest. :good:

[Q] Notifications not as good as before

I've just upgraded from the original Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 to a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100
On my old Tab if there was a notification that was too long to fit on the screen I could long press on the notification and it would begin to scroll right to left allowing me to read the whole message. On my shiny new super phone that long press no longer works (instead it brings up a button for App Info which is no help at all!)
Is there a way to read the whole of a notification without having to go to launch the app associated with it?
Thanks!
In 4.1 JB you have to put two fingers on it and slide down to expand the notification. Although it doesn't work for all notifications.

Thanks for the reply.
That seems to work for Gmail but not for Pulse and if there is more than one email then the expanded version is basically no better than the unexpanded version. You still need to go from the notification screen to the Gmail inbox to see any of the message.
Seems a bit of a step backwards from the older version on Android.
