Long press end key & unified messaging center

Instead of making 2 separate posts, i thought i'd put my 2 issues into a single post. I have a european TP2 running the stock rom.
1) I dont know at what point it happened, but my 'long press end key' icon in settings has disappeared. I have no idea what might have caused this, but it was there originally since i set the long press to terminate the data connection. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how i can get it back, or at least what registry keys that i can modify to select one of the 4 options?
2) I'm not sure if i'm using the right term, but i was wondering how i can disable the unified messaging center. I'm referring to the new text messaging interface that comes up when i click a message in TF3D that also includes the contact card, email, events and call history. I've looked through all of the forum posts but i havent been able to find a post regarding this. As bland as the MS threaded messaging interface is, i prefer it to what HTC has done, mainly because it shows more messages and that i can resize the bottom portion where i type.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

1) Start > Settings > All Settings > Personal > Buttons > End Key
2) Still finding the solution

1) Settings>Personal>Buttons>End Key
2) I know it doesn't directly answer your question but from the TF3D I just press the "All Messages" soft button on the left to get to the MS inbox

Thank you for replying so quickly.
In Start > Settings > All Settings > Personal > Buttons, i dont have the end key as an option, the only button i have is the 'Send Key(Hold)'. After doing a lot of searching, i found the 'LongPressEndKeyApp.exe' file in the windows directory, and that brings up the menu like the icon in the setting's menu did before. I still think its strange that it's no longer under settings, but at least i found a solution.
As for my second question, thanks for the suggestion to click on 'All messages', but i still wish i could just click the message like in the Diamond/Pro. I'm just quibbling over a minor point, so its not a big deal. =P
Thanks for the responses.

"End Key" should be the 3rd tab once inside Buttons settings

Thanks for the visual aid Mesquire, turns out that i never had the long press end key in my settings, it was under 'buttons' the whole time. Well i feel dumb, but thats what i get for switching between by old TP and the TP2. lol

Smashed on/off button solution?

Hi guys, I am not sure if it's the place I should post this, if not mods plz move my thread to the appropriated message board.
Recently my phone fell off my desk head on. Right on the top of the phone. Now the button on/off is not functioning. I can still use the phone but as soon as it close the screen I can't light it up again. In the options I manage the let the screen open at all time but...
Bell is asking for a couple hundred bucks for repair or couple hundred to cancel my contract.
I was wondering if it was possible to some how make the camera button the on/off fonction.
I haven't open the phone yet (screws) to check the damage internally, I may be able to fix it but I doubt it.
I'll post pictures later tomorrow.
Do you guys have any ideas?

yes, check out AE button plus, you can't set it to power on the phone however you can set it to power the screen on and off. However to turn the screen on with a button other then the power button you must change the settings in key lock under settings/system/key lock you must set it do not lock buttons, otherwise no button will function, the only thing is that your call end buttons work as well.
get AE button plus
set whatever button to power on/off the backlight
disable key lock on screen power off
good luck

wow jeez thx.
I had a very hard time to find it for free so here's the cab

Same thing happened to me. This is what I did and I fixed it.
1. Take the battery cover off
2. Look at where the power button is, if you look closely you will the the button "hinges on the right side"

[Q] Bug? HTC Sense Input Keyboard arrow button gone!

Found this issue on my one X. The arrow/direction key seem to be gone from keyboard when using 3rd parties apps. (Whatsapp / Line / Facebook / Path / etc)
But it seem to be working fine on web browser, text message, google search widget and some other apps that came along with the phone.

Solutions I've tried
Setting > Apps > All > HTC Sense Input > Clear Data
*Yes it does help, but for only the very one first time after I came out from the apps and went back in they keyboard arrow/direction key is gone again.
Solution HTC support gave
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, we checked your attachment and inquiry, we would like provide following suggestions:
1. Power off your phone for 5 minutes and then resart your phone agian.
2. If the issue still persists, we would suggest you entre the safe mode to exclude some third parties' conflicts:
power off the device for one minute
Press " power button " to power on device until you see the htc logo
Then press and hold " Volume down key" until entering OS
" Safe Mode " text will appears on the lower left of screen.
Keep your phone in safe mode for one day and check whether the direction arrow atill keeps disappear. Thanks!
*But it is not doing any good

It's apps which aren't ICS-optimised yet. The on-screen menu button covers the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Be interesting to see what they say; whether it's intentional to not reduce screen area any further when both keyboard and menu button are displayed, or whether it's just badly designed.
Other keyboards with arrows (like SwiftKey) still display them along with the menu button (everything's just shifted a row up), so it's specific to HTC's keyboard design.

[Q] Any other GNex ROMs with BIG MENU BUTTON?

Okay so I'm sure this probably isn't important to that many people but one of the things I really hated about ICS is the disappearance of the menu button. I don't like the way Google changed things by adding another dotdotdot menu button inside apps, because a lot of times that menu button is at the top of the screen.
This is a problem because this phone is HUEG. Trying to reach that menu button with one hand makes me afraid I'm going to drop my device.
Anyway for most of my time on the GNex I've used Apex ROM, which has had the option to bring back the big menu button which is always visible and fits in line with the rest of the buttons, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Big menu button, right in front of the back button. While the placement is not the best in the world (I'd prefer the back-menu-home-taskswitcher arrangement personally) at least it has the big button. Most other ROMs seem to only have the ability to enable the legacy app dotdotdot menu button permanently.
Now, Apex has been updated and the big menu button is gone, instead replaced with the option to permanently enable the dotdotdot menu button that ICS uses for legacy apps. I don't like this, because it's off-center, looks bad and is more annoying to press.
I'm not particularly keen on sticking with an old version of a ROM if I can avoid it.
My question is this: is there another, or more than one, GNex ROM that lets me have a big menu button as well as keeping my must-have features (longpress volume keys to skip music tracks, multiple lockscreen shortcuts, notification power widget and all that jazz)?
As much as I like Apex (and the dev will be looking into re-adding the big menu button) I'd also like to check out other potential ROMs as well if they also have the big menu button.

I'm rocking foxhound Black Ed 0.6.. uses apex which I prefer and looks like this:

I'm using SlimICS and although the menu button isn't deault, you can set it up how you described, and I'd imagine several of the other ROMS such as AOKP have the ability.
In Slim all you need to do is go to the Advanced Slim Settings and make changes to how many/which keys you want in the "Navigation bar" section, and then change "Menu visibility" to "Always show invisible icons". Now you have the menu button as a regular key, but the three dots don't show.

Strongly agree with your complaint. Came from a gingerbread device here. Had my nexus only a week but gone thru several roms... try liquid smooth. You can customize the hell outta the buttons.

Or try straight AOKP. So many settings, this is one of the basic, easy to change ones.

Selecting a default home screen on LinegeOS 16.0

Hi!
I'm running linegeOS 16.0 by arcon for samsung s4 active. I am trying to select a default home screen; I understand that pinching out on the desktop is no longer a thing(just came from android 4.4.2...) according to this post (for oero 8.0) long clicking on the desktop should display a home icon, in order to select the default home screen. But there's nothing like that for me. So, does it work differently on LinegeOS?
(I already tried asking on the rom's thread)
(I also disabled google app (on the left hand side of the desktop) because that's what it says on that link I gave)
*also I can't find a way to sort out the home screens order... meaning, say you have 4 home screens and you want to alter the order - 1,2,3,4 -> 1,3,2,4. I can't figure out how to do it on linege!
thanks!

You should find the option in Settings>>Apps and Notifications>>Default Apps.
There, you should find options to select apps to perform various default actions, including Home, if you have them installed.

Thanks D4ND310, for trying to help.
I'm not asking about the default apps, though. I'm asking about how to arrange the home screens (that assemble the desktop) and selecting the default one (the one that gets displayed when pressing the home button)
i.e
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is at least how it used to work on my S4 active, and it's a normal feature on samsung devices. I'm asking how to do the same thing on linegeOS.
thanks!

That's not a feature of the operating system. That's a feature of the launcher. In lineageOS's default launcher trebuchet the home screen is always on the most left position. Maybe you will find the described feature in another launcher.
