[MOD|1.26|1.28|1.29] Disable the annoying ICS 3-dot Menu | Aroma May-05

blubbers · Apr 4, 2012

This modification will give you the full resolution for all non-ICS apps. I guess many of you have been waiting for this.

The Window-Switcher Key (right one) will be remapped to the Menu button. This key will be usable system-wide!

**update** The recent app's key is remapped to long-pressing home
**update #2** I've made a cleaner removal of the 3-dot menu;
-> the screen-overlay is now fully usable
-> the keyboard has the arrow-keys
-> no more changes to SystemUI.apk, the zip includes the stock version now
**update #3** by popular request of the i-want-to-long press-home-as-menu fanboys, i've made a zip, fullscreen-v2-lp_home_menu.zip
it contains stock qwerty.kl & stock SystemUI.apk
**update #4** support for 1.28.401.9
**update #5** Added Aroma installer
**update #6** support for 1.29.401.7

**update #7** fixed the arrow keys I've broken in update #5, all versions

Root is required, duh

Use on deodexed ROM's based on 1.26.x/1.28.x/1.29.x only(tested on 1.26.401.2 & 1.28.401.9 & 1.29.401.7)

Use the attached aroma installer (all versions included, 1.26/1.28/1.29/stock) with CWM recovery

There are some re-odexed zip's here (I do not/will not provide odexed versions): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25533464&postcount=373 & http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25063642&postcount=279

Thanks; not useful to me personally until it's a secondary function of the task switcher button, but I'm sure plenty of others will be thrilled.

Works perfect on my device. And it disables the up down right left buttons in keyboard in old apps.

personaly i prefer having the full screen over the task switcher, but i'm going to try to make the home-button multi-functional

What about a double tap opening task switcher and long press full screen

?

Worked perfectly on my rooted stock ROM. Lost the function to switch apps though.

However, I still have a small black bar where the menu bar used to be in some apps. Is it normal? My ROM version is 1.26.707.2. Could that be the cause?

Why would you want a double tap rather than a single tap? You can already differentiate between short and long tap; there's no need to complicate by making it a double-tap unless you're trying to cram three different functions onto a button.

blubbers · Apr 5, 2012

ok, this should not happen. you don't happen to have a backup of your original systemui.apk?

Ha ha.. Unfortunately no. Maybe if I do a factory reset can get it. But will have to root again

But when I restored using the stock.zip everything went back to the way it was.

a factory reset won't restore a modified system
well, too bad, could have made the modification for .707

if anyone has a .707 rom, please

Code:

adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk

and attach it here

blubbers · Apr 5, 2012

ahh, might be because you use an odexed rom... not sure about it. you could try pushing it again and do a factory reset. but this will wipe everything including the sdcard

eugene76 · Apr 5, 2012

Ok, will try it later today. Will keep you posted.

Good news! Got it working. I removed the Systemui.odex and rebooted.

P/S : at the rate I'm going about trying out these things haphazardly, I'm bound to break something soon

does it still show the black bar below? (at least that's what I see from the screenshot)

hopefully we can have otherways to access the menu, I need the taskswitcher button. It'll be better if HTC didn't have 3 hardkeys unlike the Galaxy Nexus..
