Hi, I'm coming from a nexus 4 and I really would like to have my old three button layout here on my htc one, I've read in other threats that the HTC logo can be set up to be a home button, so the only piece left in the puzzle is how to set the original home button to open recent apps... I don't want to flash the Google play edition rom or any other ROM, just wish to know if there's a way to remap the original home button to recent apps so I finally get my nexus 4's old and sweet button layout... Thanks in advance guys!

You'll need an unlocked bootloader but this kernel allows you to remap the HTC Button as "Home" and the Home button as "Menu". That's, from what I've seen far, the closest you'll get.
