This functionality was available in the OP3, under Dev tools. Not sure why it was not included with the OP5, but it sure would be nice to have it ported.

I have a s2 and thinking about getting a htc one. since the s2 is my first smartphone im very much a touchwiz whore. How does sense 5 handle the menu button thats on the s2?
Two options:-
A. On screen menu bar [Ill-fated] which will consumed some space on screen for those apps which not yet complying android design guidelines.
B. Longpress back button.
Brand new N10 and just unlocked and rooted running the stock ROM for now.
Is there any way to remap the recent button to the menu button instead?
Well, ParanoidAndroid mapped a long press of the recents button to menu.
Run a custom ROM and configure the buttons however you want. You can set what they do for each button, add or remove buttons (up to 7 max), set what each button does when long-pressed, and even change the icon of any of the buttons. This is called the "AOKP style navbar" in most ROMs. Obviously that means you will get these features by running AOKP, but many other ROMs also use this same feature and way it is configured.
You should looking into Mr.Robinson's AOKP PUB ROM, it seems to be most people's favorite
I usually switch around my back and recents button, it just seems easier to work with how I hold my tablet and phone this way. I also like to make long pressing the back button automatically switch to the last used app I was on. Long pressing the recents button (for me) kills all open apps.

Thanks for the details. Tried CleanROM first, but need more options. Will check out AOKP PUB next.
There are a fair number of people who have this phone (me included) who would love the ability to remap the "Back" button, so that we can recreate the stock Nexus button layout (and optionally turn off the backlight altogether) on the hardware keys.
Someone has already created an issue tracker for it on the CM Jira, but if this is something you also want, you need to vote on it through Jira! Higher votes mean higher visibility, and hopefully a developer will consider it.
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-56
ROMs like Slim and Mahdi already let you remap the Back button, so it's not so much a question of if it can be done, but when.
Yep would be a useful feature!
On my Galaxy S5, I seem to run into a handful of apps that seem to push the idea of having a dedicated menu soft/hardware button to get to futher menu options.
Obvious the S5 has a Recent apps button in place of a menu button, holding the recents button triggers the Menu-button command and brings up an apps' menu.
The amount of time you have to hold down the recents button for the secondary Menu-button function to trigger is horrifically obnoxious. In cyanogenmod, the delay is much, much shorter and makes working with the menu-button a whole lot more swift.
I know that with xposed framework mods and whatnot, you can switch the function of the recents button. I do use recents a LOT more than Menu so it'd be nice to be able to find out how to change the stock firmware's alternate-button delay time.
I've been digging around in settings databases in SQ Lite editor for a while to no avail.
Anyone willing to help figure this out is greatly appreciated.
Honor 5X has another great feature and really interesting floating button called "Suspend Button"
It is a floating button which houses up to five functions.! which can be used to access Home, Recent Apps, Screen Lock, Back and One-touch Optimization and it can be enabled from Settings app area. This button will appear on most of the screen and is easy to drag around the screen and It will help you control your easily.!
This floating button is especially made for the users switching from IOS to Android to have similar interface like that one..
