Hi all developers!
I've recently enabled Navigation bar ( qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 ) in my note 2
However I found out the Dialer/Call log has an additional MENU BAR on top, blocking the view of some call logs thus quite ugly. I've tried changing DPI although the blocked call logs become "visible", the whole call log screen is somewhat ugly because of the stuff become smaller and not proportionate.
Also, I found out many other apps start showing "3 dot Menu" on the top right corner once I've enabled the Navigation bar. But I'm not interested in seeing all these, since I've my hardware Menu key working so I really don't need the additional MENU BAR or 3 dot menu.
Can anyone help me to get rid of 3 dot menu? I've been deep investigation on this from recompiling SystemUI.apk (which replaced the recent app soft button to menu button), but it's still not hiding the MENU BAR and 3 dot menu.
Recently I saw AOKP or AOSP ROM has this feature (Menu UI Overflow Toggle) I believe is what I'm looking for, can't be sure what it does until someone confirm this to me
The source code is here:
https://github.com/TeamSourcery/frameworks_base/commit/1477d1acc1303174aa1c23d28d64fb36d4268742
Anyone know how can I use the code above (where to modify and recompile my 4.1.2 rooted deodexed ROM) and remove the annoying 3 dot menu?
Many thanks your help is greatly appreciated!!!!!

Yes
There's a fix for the menu bar in the upcoming 4.2.2 update. Unless you're willing to root for the custom ROMs that is already based on the leak 4.2.2, you will need to wait for HTC's next update.

I'm not sure if the viper ROM has the option, but in settings there should be an option to map the menu button to the home button. Once you do this the menu bar for all apps will disappear.

i found what i was after the mod is in the viper rom tweaks ( buttons section and then its under soft menu bar )
thanks for all the replies
So after getting S-OFF I flashed CM 10.2 and noticed that there was no menu present in many apps. I know that you can modify the home key for double tap to show menu, but I'm wondering what the status is on the menu overflow? I know the setting exists, but it wasn't working for me. Anyone have any insight on this?
AFAIK there's an option to enable the overflow dots in the UI settings, or maybe its by the Hardware Buttons settings...

Yeah I enabled the option, but it still wasn't working for some reason. Anybody else have this happen?

It happened on liquid smooth but on 10.2 I had the menu.
I had the menu button show up on mine after selecting the option in the rom.
Got my G3 today and have been spending a good amount of time setting it up.
I am rooted and have Xposed w/G3 Tweaksbox.
I have a couple of things that still annoy me.
Is there a way to swap the behavior of the recent apps button? I want short press to be menu and long press to be recent apps. I figured out I can add a menu button using G3 Tweaksbox that does exactly that, but I can't remove the stock recent apps button, so I have 4 buttons there and I don't really like that.
When I drag up the recent apps button, I get a little semi circle selector with voicemate, search and quickmemo+ options. I have no intention of ever using voicemail or quickmemo+. Is there a place to change the 3 things that come up there?

Most modern apps use the 3 dot menu button in the app interface and that is why most modern phones tablets do away with dedicated menu button so why would you want to do this?

Probably because I'm used to it coming from the Galaxy S3.

You'll get used to the new buttons in no time. Just give it a little time and you'll look back at the S3 thinking the button layout was dumb.i had an S3 and S4. Love the G3 and the on screen buttons!

I have the exact thing you want; but I don't want it. I'm rooted with Xposed framework and I randomly rebooted my phone earlier to have it turn back on with a functioning menu button. I looked through all the modules I had downloaded and even booted into safe mode but to no avail. I desperately need help with this.
Sorry that's not what you want, but if anyone knows how to get that, that's why I want.

Sorry for reposting this... Thought I posted in a different thread but I guess I'm wrong. Please don't crucify me
As a long time samsung user, I'd say try without the menu button and see how you get on first.
But you can change the swipe up (and thats a swipe up from anywhere on the navigation bar btw, try it out), using tweaksbo, it's under:
theme > ring pad
And you can either turn it off, or add up to 5 custom apps.
The recent apps button is kinda key to android, it's like asking to remove the home button. Maybe instead of adding a menu button, make double tap on home be the menu button instead? Then you'd still have your three icons, and wouldn't lost out on recent apps, which you should end up using more now it's easier to reach (as opposed to a long press on the home button on samsung).
As noted most apps should use the 3 dot menu button so unless you have an outdated app you use regularly you really shouldn't even want a dedicated menu button. Ask the developer to update the app. It's the way forward and most all modern phones don't have a dedicated menu button, even the S5 replaced the menu button with the multitask button. It you really can't adapt ask the G3 Tweaks xposed developer if he can add a menu button option as the G3 already has the framework to change nav buttons.
How can you change them?

Just use the LG Display menu in settings to remove that button and xposed to add other button options. I'd like to know what people use, I'm on a 4 button system. I'll post pics when I get a chance
I somehow managed to change them on a system level if that's even possible. I disabled all modules and even booted into safe mode and they were still there. I'd like to change it back on whatever level it got modified. And the settings app crashes when I try to change the button combination.
The OP did not want to replace the resents button with menu, but only change its behavior: short press - menu, long press- resents. I am very interested in the same setup.

In TweaksBox under theme tweaks, then ring pad. It let's you select one in the free version. In the donate version you can select up to 5 shortcuts in the ring pad or disable it altogether.
settings / display / home touch buttons / button combination
I think they are standard options and not something I've added in. let's you add/remove a button such as the menu button or recent apps. screen is wide so I use 5 buttons.

personally don't use program #1 the ring selector as it is accidentally opening all the time with use of the back button.

Hold the recents and thats your menu button. Thats a default setting i believe. No need for g3 tweakbox unless a longpress isnt what you want. Idk which model you have but the tmobile version doesnt let you add the menu button on the nav bar.

Hi guys,
so i've received my OP3, so far so good. As i'm coming from the OP1 and/or OPX i've skipped the OP2 complety and i am wondering if there is really no "open menu" option in the buttons settings when you are using the hardware buttons?!
In the OP1 there was the option for long press or short press, as we have it roght now as well, but there is the "open menu" option missing.
For those who don't know what i mean, i have attached a screenshot. But as it seems that this option is really missing, this is somehow a problem for me as i do not like to use the 3dot menu that some apps have included.
Is there any xposed module or something which brings this menu back? Tried gravitybox allready, doesn't work. Using the latest Oxygen which is version 3.1.2
Thanks for the help in advance!
This really annoys me as well! I found the All in one Gestures app, which helps to change the button, however it doesn't work everywhere... can anyone suggest a better solution?

no i haven't, that's why i am asking you guys but i am pretty sure this is a software "issue". i think if you flash a custom rom that "open menu" option could pop out in the settings
