Have been using Sense 5 Toolbox for some time.
With latest version of Sense 5 Toolbox, I set long-press home (home assist) to "Go to sleep" so that I can save some life of my power button.
And it doesn't work under lockscreen (long-press home button under lockscreen simply does nothing).
In recent Sense 5 Toolbox 2.1.1 changes, home assist will supposedly dismiss the lockscreen, which is great!
But it still doesn't, at lease on my One X, nothing happens when long-press home under lockscreen.
Since the toolbox is developed for HTC One, so maybe there's some different behavior between One and One X regarding the home assist under lockscreen? Or is it just me who have this problem with One X?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
where did you get sense 5 toolbox? I can't find it on play store
Edit: forget it, just realised its an exposed module

I currently own a HTC Desire and was thinking about buying a new phone and I can't decide between Galaxy S3 and HTC One X yet.
When I watched this comparison here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtXAkNd9k68 I saw the HTC One X has Back, Home and Task Manager Buttons.
From my HTC Desire I know you can bring up Task Manager by long pressing Home Button, so I wonder why there is a Task Manager button (maybe for not so smart users?). And if there is a menu it takes away from screen real estate to display a menu button bar or for HTCs own apps, it displays a menu button on top right corner.
I like the black & white borderless theme of Sense better than the blue/gray border theme of Galaxy phones (for menu, popups, selectboxes, widgets, etc).
Would it be possible, to change the task manager button into a menu button?
Apparently HTC are going to do this in a future OTA update - or at least give us the ability to do like you request and do away with the horrible black bar which presents itself in some apps.
However - if you are into flashing roms then some of the custom roms give you the ability to change the functionality if the bottom three buttons - also adding long press abilities which you can define yourself, you can also toggle the black bar on/off if you so desire aswell, the following is a Rom which supports what you are after - comes highly recommended from myself;

as for why HTC make the recent task button, they followed Google. Google said its the death of the menu button, and introduced the action bar. not all apps are updated with it yet, so One X suffer with the black menu bars, except for google apps. unlike Galaxy Nexus, which has soft buttons, not capacitive like One X.
Looking for 5x5 TW launcher for S3 /4.3 /MK6
& a LED flashlight mod usable when the screen is off
If anyone is aware of a working 5x5 launcher for 4.3 /MK6 I'd really appreciate hearing about it.
I've grown used to having a 5x5 home screen launcher.. then had to replace my S3 phone (4.1.2). Which means that I'm now stuck with Android 4.3 where a lot of my mods no longer work and the OS can't be reverted to an earlier version. I've tried a dozen 5x5 and 5x6 launchers, including some labeled as 4.3/MK, but they cause the dreaded "unfortunately process x has stopped" messages or boot loops on my S3.
And I'm also trying to find a flashlight /LED /torch app that can be used when the screen is off. One where the LED can be turned on by a long press of the home button or ideally the home button + volume key. I did find a shake to turn on the LED in the play store. But shaking a phone seems odd to me and I'd worry about the LED accidentally turning on too. I've tried some long press volume key mods that either don't work at all or freeze and require a reboot to turn the LED off. A long volume press mod would interfere with music player track skip too.
I just finished installing several ROMs that claim this feature only to find that the listed LED feature hasn't been implemented yet and that minor detail wasn't noted on the list of ROM features. Okay. Maybe there is a button remapper app that I could use in conjunction with the shake the phone mod? I've just started searching to see if there are any remapping mods that might do this.
Great forum and I really appreciate the work that enthusiasts do here.
And thank you in advance if anyone knows where I might find either mod.

Hi.
I'm new here, came from Galaxy s2 that served me well for a long time.
Today I received my new htc one m8, i have root it and installed xposed framework.
As i came from 3 button layout(home, menu and back) and htc has home, back and recents (which show on long press one the home button of the S2. i really miss the menu button. I know whenever there is a need for menu , the 3 dots appear. But i relay on it for specific shortcut and it will not appear on all my apps.
I think in Lg G2 there is a built in option to change the soft buttons layout.
I didn't found a specific way to change the layout or a way to add the menu to appear all the time
Does anyone has an idea if its possible?
If not built in, maybe an xposed module that will do it or simulate the recent button to act as menu button on long press?
I have sense 6 toolbox module, but it has only back and home key modification onlong press.
Thanks.

you can use Gravity Box Module to have a menu button but ive noticed that it doesnt work for everything
Thanks! It worked! And this module has some other nice tweaks.

Hey guys I found how you can lock the phone just pressing the back button!
You must have sense 6 toolbox and enable the "back button to kill an app". If you are on the home screen or in the app drawer just press a hold the back button and the phone locks!
So easy....

Ok so im trying to do something with mi launcher it might require apk deconpile im not sure but i want to re assign a key function.
theres something called one key clear (aka the task manager/switcher) just like in miui when you long press the home button. well this feature can also be usable one GB roms thanks to Mi launcher but the only thing is that you only can apply this action to the swipe down on home screen. i want to disable the built in GB task switcher and assign the mi launcher one click clear to the home button long click.
also as a bonus i would like to enable blur on this launcher like when opening folders.
