For the life of me I can't find the device lock in settings, you know the one that gives you the option to lock all buttons except power button on device lock.
I would like to be able to turn the machine on by pressing something other than the power button but it seems it cannot be done.
Am I missing something?

I have managed to use the HTC lock but don't know how i did it. I do think that a good lock would be a plus for this phone.

What do you mean by 'HTC lock'? Where did you find this on the HD? I'm looking for the setting where you specify whether you want to lock all buttons or not?
In Settings > Buttons, go to the End Key tab and select the action you want when holding the End key. You can mae it pop up a menu if you want...
One of the options is Lock device.

hmm, yes, i found this but that is to lock the device using the long press end key.
What I am looking for is the setting where (at least on the diamond) you specify that the device locks all the buttons a) all the time b) none of the time or c) only when device is locked. i'm sure it was called button lock or similar.
That´s my problem, too. I would like to power on my HTC by using the volume buttons because the "power on" button is so small. Too small for my fingers
This = power on the HTC by using the volume button = is a possible option on the HTC Kaiser und Diamond.
Another question: Does a registry key for the button lock exist?
Thanks in advance

Yea usually the app itself has the menu button built into it. Or sometimes it's the rom depending on which one it is.
with on-screen buttons you can customize the navigation bar to your liking rather than needing to conform to hardware buttons.
im a big fan of mechanical buttons, but if youre giving me touch buttons let me customize them.. which is what googles doing with the nexus line
Google got rid of the menu button a long time ago. There is no such thing as "menu" in Android 4.0 and later. The three dots in the action bar is called action overflow.
Don’t call it a menu
Not only should your apps stop relying on the hardware Menu button, but you should stop thinking about your activities using a “menu button” at all. Your activities should provide buttons for important user actions directly in the action bar (or elsewhere on screen). Those that can’t fit in the action bar end up in the action overflow.

I have rooted my Note 3 and remapped the navigation buttons to match the galaxy nexus I came from. Now that I don't have the menu button is there a way (maybe in the build.prop) to enable the onscreen menu button? If not is there a way to enable all onscreen navigation buttons for the note 3? I tried the "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" approach but it caused system ui to crash. Thanks.
Looking for this as well. Got the same UI crash when adding that kind.
Why would you want to when we have hardware buttons?

I remapped my hardware buttons to match my galaxy nexus onscreen buttons (from left to right: Back, Home, Recent Apps). As you can see I don't have a menu button mapped. A lot of apps have the menu button in the UI but it doesn't show up if your device thinks it has a hardware menu button. So what I am looking for is a way to tell android that I do not have a hardware menu button. Thanks.
could you keep us updated if you find anything? could you make a quick tutorial how you were able to remap the buttons, or does it work exactly like on the s3:

Yes it looks like it is exactly the same. Wish I could have found that guide when I was searching lol.

Unfortunately not. I just turned the touch key lights off in display settings.
Has anyone figured this out yet?
Hi guys,
Is there the option to enable cursor keys on keyboard. I thought this feature was already in Omni but I can't seem to find...
Greetings,
There is only volume key cursor control if you mean that

I mean cursor keys on the keyboard or the action bar. I thought they were already but I can't find them anymore.

We never had that
Oh then I may confuse with a Xposed module or another custom romn I tested.
I'm gonna ask for this then.
Thanks @maxwen
I have an old app that I really like but it doesn't have the hamburger (three lines) menu button. The Axon 7 doesn't have a menu button. I've tried long pressing the recent apps and the back buttons but it doesn't work. Is there any way to emulate the old android menu button on the Axon 7?
thanks,
just use mi-pop buttons for this

NICE! Excellent work around. Is there an easier way of turning mi-pop on/off other than going into the phone settings?
Thanks

There is a MI-POP Toggle in the notification pull down.
imo the context menu should be the default action instead of recent apps, while recent apps should be a long-press action on the context menu button :/

in the notifications when you swipe down from the top? I only see "wifi, data 1, data 2, silent, gps" there is a settings button that i can tap, then tap "all settings" and get into the phone settings. were you able to add mi-pop to those notifications?

Swipe down again after you see the notification shade. First swipe down only shows the first row of quick setting toggles. Second swipe brings the rest (and where you can edit the order)

Except that would be against Android standards. And any app that's been updated in the past 3-4 years to modern standards wouldn't have the problem. Some OEMs use a long press on the recent apps to do the old menu, but with Nougat, that's used for multiwindow now. I'm just glad there is still a way to access it, as I need an app that is old enough to need it.
