[Q] how to disable the "logo" hardware button? sense 6 - Verizon HTC One (M7)

First off, I am using the "nusense six" Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693502) and have the HTC one m7.
I have never used the stock sense six firmware but I have noticed that on this Rom, if you tap on the screen just above the HTC logo, it acts as if you pressed a hardware menu button (the menu for the app you are on pops up).
This feature is interesting, but the problem is that when I type and push the spacebar ever so slightly too low on the screen, the keyboard closes and the menu pops up. This has finally become annoying enough for me to make this post and I hope someone can help me disable this feature. Thanks!
Also if anyone knows of a relitively stock sense six Rom without this thing, please let me know.

It's just a kernel setting. You should be able to disable it using Trickster Mod.

I have browsed Trickster and can find no way to change this button layout. When I installed NuSense, I chose the option for logo button to be "home" plus "recent apps" out of curiosity. Now I want it back to stock. Where in Trickster mod can one change this?

That's not in trickster. Just reflash the Rom without wiping and select the stock option.

Am I the only one?

Am I the only one that finds it irritating that since 7.1.0, if you press enter while a single-line textbox is selected, instead of actually doing the default enter action (go in a browser) it does the equivalent of pressing space?

Anyone? No one else is having this problem? I don't want to keep bumping this topic every few hours but if that's what it takes then so be it...

Where exactly is this happening?

Anywhere there's a one-line text box. The google search app, opera mobile's URL bar (also the default browser), even the "subject" text box of this view (in the XDA app).

Pressing the enter button in those those areas performs just as expected, as if I were pressing the enter button. No issues on my end and I'm running CM 7.1.0.

Any fix for this issue? Do I have to revert to before 7.1.0?

I had about the same thing happen when using Swiftkey since then. Are you using Swiftkey?

Yes... Yes I am. How did you fix the issue? Uninstall SwiftKey?
Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.
I've just been using the stock keyboard for a while and haven't had any problems with it. I haven't heard of an actual fix for Swiftkey unfortunately
Get swype beta. You can always check back in with swift key later. I think there is at least one other reputable keyboard out ther as well.

I noticed this too. We are not alone.

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.

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

I have a arrow down, on my menu bar and it hides it and to bring it back up all I have to do is long press the multitask button.

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

How can I make the back button kill app?

I have been using a couple of roms where it appears that holding the back button will kill an app. How would I go about setting this up myself if I have a rom without this feature.

Without this feature you can't.

if developers can do this, it must be possible ... and I think the sense of the question was to know how to do (and to develop) this (an app/ workaround) separately (without a ROM) ... I would be glad to know this, too ...

Lockscreen camera widget stock m8?

Excuse me if this is a stupid question but I'm just used to be able to access the camera from the lockscreen. And now I can't find a way to do it. I'm keeping the phone stock for the first three months. So if the only way to do it is to install root access or a custom rom I'm not interested right now.

The easiest way is turning the phone on its side and press the volume button

Thanks for the quick reply! That works great when you're using HTC BlinkFeed, of course i forget to mention that i use Nova Launcher. So if I want to use another launcher I guess I'm back to square one again.
I swear that I tried this before posting. But just now when I was trying it out it works launch the camera app with the volume up in button in landscape mode when I'm using nova launcher. That it I guess, problem solved.

For me it's a bug lollipop, the temporary solution is here
https://code.google.com/p/android/i...ne&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Reboot into safe mode (long-press power button, long-press the "Power off" text), and then reboot normally. This resets all widgets and seems to fix this problem.
