Why vision ics rom. The ActionBar menu option set to the value of the attribute android: showAsAction never when the menu is not hidden in the title of the right of the three small dots but when clicking the menu button to pop up from the bottom of the screen? Need to modify where to resume?Thank you. (English is poor, use google translation and understanding!)
How is this related to development?

I want to modify!
I you have a modified version then maybe this is the right place... for questions go to Q/A or General/
Hi henjue , I support you !
I think this about getting the 3 dots menu button on the screen but without activating the soft buttons navigation bar on the bottom. I know it's possible because I saw it in the Optimus 2X ICS rom. Probably just a setting that needs to be changed.
FYI, this 3 dot menu button is disabled by default on phones that have a hardware menu button (like ours)

so i'm currently using a t-mobile g2, but i'm definitely considering the galaxy nexus being my next phone. might even switch to verizon for it (but most likely will just wait for it on t-mobile).
my question is, and this really probably applies to all ICS phones, but for now, mainly to the galaxy nexus, is what happens with the menu button with all my current apps? i'm sure that many devs will be updating their apps to take advantage of and deal with any and all changes, but as it is, like 99% of my apps using the menu button, and since there is none now, i was curious how that works... i know from what i've read that alot of the main system apps (browser, camera, email/gmail, calendar, etc) have a menu button built into the layout... but what about 3rd party apps?
this is just something i was wondering about. i'm sure once i have one in my hand it will all make sense, but figured i'd ask

My best guess is it will show up in the bottom bar, similar to how it works in Honeycomb.

ok now i haven't messed with honeycomb at all, so does that mean the bar with the back/home/multitasking buttons is context sensitive and it could potentially change to include a menu button when needed with older apps?
thats what i was guessing...

i saw three or four hands-on and the bottom bar buttons have always been those three.
as far as i could understand, the menu is now raised by the "three dots" that appears contextually, often in the upper-right...
if i am right, it is at least a questionable choise i guess.

I think you are right.. menu is going to be included in the app itself.

That only works for apps that are built for ICS. For apps that still rely on the hard menu button there will have to be some way to bring up the menu.
In honeycomb if there is a menu button present in the app there wont be a menu button on the bottom of the screen. If there is no menu button present in the app there will be one on the bottom of the app.
I'm sure it'll be just like that.

In ICS applications the menù button is "3 dots" in somewhere in the app.
In Gingerbread applications that runs in ICS, in the bar with back, home and multitasking buttons, will appear the "3 dots" button, that is like the "menù" button in GB.
esxuse me for my english.
source: hdblog.it
if the app doesn't support the menu button within the app, then you'll see a "three dots button" near the three soft button.
yea looks like a few of you have confirmed what i thought. the main "button" bar at the bottom is context sensitive and as needed a 4th, menu button will appear. but i'm sure most devs will start rebuilding their apps for ics in the future to not need it.
thanks!
actually starting to get really excited for this change.
I got a certain idea that since the buttons are from the screen, and therefore, rendered, modders will find a way to include more or less buttons, and even change their icon. I wouldn't be too surprised.
Quick screenshot from the second video of the mentioned HDblog showing the "three dots" menu button in apps that are not optimized for ics.
You can find it in the second video at around 7min 30 sec.
Here's also some good info regarding the soft-buttons and ICS from the SDK.
Controls for system UI visibility
Since the early days of Android, the system has managed a UI component known as the status bar, which resides at the top of handset devices to deliver information such as the carrier signal, time, notifications, and so on. Android 3.0 added the system bar for tablet devices, which resides at the bottom of the screen to provide system navigation controls (Home, Back, and so forth) and also an interface for elements traditionally provided by the status bar. In Android 4.0, the system provides a new type of system UI called the navigation bar. You might consider the navigation bar a re-tuned version of the system bar designed for handsets—it provides navigation controls for devices that don’t have hardware counterparts for navigating the system, but it leaves out the system bar's notification UI and setting controls. As such, a device that provides the navigation bar also has the status bar at the top.
To this day, you can hide the status bar on handsets using the FLAG_FULLSCREEN flag. In Android 4.0, the APIs that control the system bar’s visibility have been updated to better reflect the behavior of both the system bar and navigation bar:
The SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LOW_PROFILE flag replaces the STATUS_BAR_HIDDEN flag. When set, this flag enables “low profile" mode for the system bar or navigation bar. Navigation buttons dim and other elements in the system bar also hide. Enabling this is useful for creating more immersive games without distraction for the system navigation buttons.
The SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_VISIBLE flag replaces the STATUS_BAR_VISIBLE flag to request the system bar or navigation bar be visible.
The SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION is a new flag that requests the navigation bar hide completely. Be aware that this works only for the navigation bar used by some handsets (it does not hide the system bar on tablets). The navigation bar returns to view as soon as the system receives user input. As such, this mode is useful primarily for video playback or other cases in which the whole screen is needed but user input is not required.

Can I add a menu softkey on 4.0.4? Would this menu softkey work for all apps? I really dislike it when the menu button shows up on the stop right of the screen on some apps and really miss having a permanent menu button at the bottom.
I know that bigxie's apex 1.2 has the option to add both search and menu soft keys to the nav...pretty sure there are a couple other roms that do the same

AOKP Build 26 (4.0.3) has this as an option under ROM control - works well! It even lets you change the color.
I am sure many of you have seen reviews for the HTC One X. HTC constructed their device so that it has three capacitative buttons. Contrary to the usual array of capacitative buttons of Menu, Home and Back (sometimes Search as a fourth button), HTC opted for an unusual back, home and recents (multitasking display).
On the One X, if the phone opens up an application that requires a legacy menu button, the phone pulls up a software nav bar that has a single menu software button:
http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-on...se-menu-button
This configuration is possible on the i9000 through the following mods:
1) Remapping the Menu capacitative button to a Multitasking button:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1450138
2) An autohiding nav bar with nothing but a menu button. I don't think an auto hiding nav bar has been implemented in a ROM as of yet, but AOKP roms allow for the manual hiding of the navbar. Problem is that when the navbar is hidden the os doesn't show those wonderful in app menu buttons in ics apps.
I tried the first mod out but can't for the life of me figure out how to mod source code (The limitations of a noob *sigh*). The result is a successful remapping of the menu key to a multitasking key but instead of opening up the ICS multitasking display I open up an old school gingerbread task switcher. Yuck. Unfortunately I don't have the android prowess to attempt the second mod. So this is a request for someone to implement this mod in an apk or a rom. Thanks for your time.
Now in Theme & Apps section, thanks .

Edit: posted in wrong thread.
I hate having to long-press to multitask, I want this mod work properly on AOKP
Thanks to developpers!
Could somebody explain to me how to mod source code so I can attempt this mod?
Dear friends,
for an unknown reason I cannot access my " Settings" whatever you call it from the below right hand corner of the screen as it used to be, it's no longer there. The only other option of getting the phone settings is from on top of the screen which I do not like. Thanks for your help.

In ICS Android no longer has the menu button. Instead, apps now use the action bar. Any overflow from said bar now displays as 3 dots, which include actions such as settings.
Apps that haven't been updated to the new API's will display the 3 dots next to the multi-task button.
However, some custom roms allow you to persistently add the menu button to the navigation bar.
So, the short answer to your question would be to flash a custom rom.
Better get used to hitting the 3 dots, as Google is intent on phasing out the menu button
If you install a custom rom you can add the menu as a soft key

Thanks but I have always had the Menu Bar since when I bought it and there is no software upgrade up till now.
Hey guys,
Having a small issues on my note 2 pretty boring. I am running a rootbox Rom, and in fact everytime the screen dims, and i want to press home button to reactivate the phone, the phones goes to the multitaksing screens ( Kill apps). It doesnt go to the home screen.
It is pretty boring cause everytime I want to activate the phone, I end up to the Kill apps screen, like if i did a long press on home button but which i didnt !!. Do you know what could be the issue.?
I have tried changing the settings in nova, or apex, but doesnt change anything.
Any clues how i could solve this?
I think you have modified the Hardware Keys.
Have a look in Settings > Rootbox settings > Hardware keys (2 menus).
I've tried all Rootbox nightlies and never had this issue.

A quick one, cause i see that we use the same phone and same ROM. Can you have one lockscreen page with multiple widgets ? I mean in the same page not one widget in one page as it looks then pretty bad?
Thanks mate
To add some widgets/shortcuts on the lockscreen I used the AOKP Ribbons into the menu Settings > ROM Control > Ribbons. Useful feature
Hey hey just did it it is awesome! Was using cyanogenmod before, it was great, but honestly I love the root box one. Might be even better than alliance
Anyway merci beaucoup

RootBox ROM has 4 sources: CM10.1 + AOKP + PA + RootBox
This ROM is stable, smooth and with a lot of features. I don't understand why there is not a lot of people on its thread...
De rien => Hit "Thanks"
Last time I bother you promise in case you know, but just in case. Do you know how to take out the fit ti screen button on the bottom status bar (the four arrow). It s pretty useless to me and spend an hour searching for the setting but no luck

Sorry but I don't see what do you mean... Do you have any screenshot to show me?
At the bottom, the small 4 arrows icon ( just on the left side of the time), which is hadling the zoom, or adapt the screen. Just annoying to be there. Do know how to take it out

Go to Settings > Hybrid settings > ParanoidAndroid settings (on the top) > Interface > Reduce NavBar to 0%
No sure but you should need to disable PIE controls. You can use LMT Launcher
Thanks a bunch! Will try that! Not sure it will take out only the zoom icon, but will give it a try!

I am having the same issue with the home button where it goes to the recent applications list when pressed from sleep. I don't have a lock screen set up.
I tried the Settings->Rootbox Settings->Hardware keys->set home button to do nothing but then it won't bring up the Recents list when I long press it from a regular screen.
SO... it appears that when the Home Key is pressed during Sleep (and you don't have a lock screen set up) it is registering it as a long press. If I DO have a lock screen (ie. slide or PIN) it works normally... but that's probably because a long-press does nothing from those screens anyway.

Yes exactly the same issue. But at least, by putting the home button == No action. We dont end up all the time to Recents Apps, which was really annoying.
Finally i end it up putting in the navigation bar a shortcut for recents apps, so at the end i have still easy access to it.
PS: I notice also another bug, when on tabet mode, and the icon for battery is Speed Gauge, the battery always shows 0 and empty. (whereas in reality its not)
