[Q] On line petition (removing the 3 dot menu)

---

i search within the forums topics but I didn't found anything similar.

So I think that there are enough users that are still using the official HTC Rom with Sense 4.0 and are annoyed by the 3 dots menu that appeared in the applications non optimized for Android 4.0 (ICS).
I already discuss these aspects with the HTC representative in Romania (on line chat) suggesting them to include in an official update some kind of modding of the virtual buttons (like on pressing recent apps longer to go into menu section - on Sensation, official ICS Update Sense 3.6, long pressing home = recent apps) and he assured me that my problem will be reported to HTC and it will be taken into consideration.

But I'm not very sure that they will be listening only one voice so I decided to start this kind of petition, maybe they will move faster, or do something for this issue.

So please vote if are you for official modding of the annoying 3 dots menu on the HTC One S / X?.

You have my vote, since I'm not planning on rooting my One S anytime soon.

I don't think the 3 dots menu should be removed. It serves as the menu button for those applications which do not have ICS style menu button (on top-right corner). For example, Facebook app.

If it's removed, we'll no longer be able to call the menu. The thing we should is to urge the app developers to integrate the ICS style menu button, so that this 3 dots would not be displayed.

If you wanna bring up such an idea, suggest ways for the company to remove the 3 dot menu. Don't just expect magic to happen where one day it will all be good. HTC cannot make a capacitive menu button magically appear next to the home button. Tell the app creators to make a better logical menu button placement on-screen.

at least, for rooted phones, we can mode it like Galaxy S style.

- mod to remove 3 dots menu
- mod to change the multi-task button serve as menu button
- mod to bring multi-tasking on long press of menu button (or home button in case if you prefer 2.*.* method)

The ideea is to assign the menu option either to home or recent apps capacitive buttons. Like for instance, in Sense 3.6 from Htc Sensation (running official Android 4.0 update) the home button has 2 functions: if it is pressed normaly is home if pressed longer is recent apps. So, as I mentioned in the beginning of my post, Htc should roll an update that will assign the menu button to either home or recent apps button as described above.
