As promised in my ukb thread, here is an independent zip flash for the mod to activate the ability to change the mapping of the "recents" button

  • changes settings.apk
  • turns verizon specific flag to on that otherwise excludes the mod
  • works on stock deodex
  • should work on odex replacing settings.apk and settings.odex with deodexed apk only (reported as working)

****this will not give you a menu on rosie homescreen....that is a different mod, though it requires this mod to work***

Code Changes for Developers:

decompile the settings.apk (if deodexed) the changes are in the classes.dex (smali) so if you are trying to do it on the odexed version, you ll need to baksmali the settings.odex file....im not gonna hold your hand and explain that to you

navigate to:

com/android/settings/framework/flag/feature/HtcDisplayFeatureFlags.smali

find this method:

Code: 
.method public static supportRecentAppsButton

wholesale change the method to this:

Code: 
.method public static supportRecentAppsButton(Landroid/content/Context;)Z
    .locals 1

    const/4 v0, 0x1

    return v0
.end method

(i did this differently in the 1.15 version, but this is simpler)

Flashed this in recovery and now I don't have settings. When I try to select settings from the notification field it does nothing. I'm rooted on CODIS

There's actually an exclusion made for verizon phones coded in, which is why it doesn't shoe up stock
HTC/vzw went out of their way to remove it for us lol

I just activated it after digging around to understand why it was happening and found why

I wonder why Verizon didn't want that. Why does Verizon care so much about what we do to our device. We purchase the device so we should be allowed to use it to its full potential, right?

So for stock rooted odex do I extract the .zip and get the .apk and replace in system/apps or just flash like I would if I were on a deodexed rom?

Never mind I got it, tried it both ways. Got it by flashing!! Thanks for the mod, works perfectly!!!!

Great Mod! Worked like a charm...rooted, stock, odex with cubed 1.4.9 kernel

The genius of this is it makes the DNA an even more one handed phone for me...as it was annoying that on most apps the on screen menu button was top right, especially web browsing

With the hard button remapped to menu, the right thumb can do all!! (especially with swipe to wake/off with the 1.4.9 cubed kernel).

Well I am rooted on codis and of course now I have no settings either. Didn't think it was already in my settings. Is there any easy way to get this back?

Stock, rooted, odex.

Cannot get menu regardless of setting in "Settings."

Flashed mod and pushed the apk.

Any thoughts?

you will *not* get a rosie menu regardless of this mod or not

you will get it in apps however

htc removed the code for menu from Rosie...you ll need to be on a rom that has that mod

Thanks for the mod and the explanation!

I seem to recall reading about the "code removed from Rosie." I should say "duh" here, but it would clearly be redundant. :laugh:

    its different for sense5 and sense6.....instead of just being able to change supportrecent (or whatever the exact method is) to basically a yes, you have to enable isdeviceforrecentkey (again just paraphrasing the method cuz i dont have anything in front of me atm)

    for some people, for some reason on the exact same software, the phone is detecting it is a the correct device id and enabling the option (actually could be dependent on what your CID is, for those of us who unlocked or got soff by different methods at different times)

    if i ever flash the stock update, ill post the correct changes
