hi, i've just flashed the latest trickdroid. and since the 3-dot menu button is removed, and as far as i know there isn't a way too set, for example, long-pressing the home button or the recent apps button to open an app's settings.
tl;dr
is there any way to return the 3-dot menu or to map the homescreen button or recent apps button to change an app's settings?
thanks in advance.

In setting, go into Display, Gestures, & Buttons, in there under recent apps button, you can change how it works.

worked for me. thanks!
So, I tried in both PAC and Jellybam to enable the navigation bar but for some reason I can't get the menu button to actually do anything when I select it. Is there a specific order I should be changing options? Even the little side menu buttons don't work.

So I just installed ViperXL today and I can't find any way to disable the onscreen bottom menu button for apps that don't have it built in like Facebook.
In CM10 and CleanROM there was a way to have it so I could set up my recent apps key to do multitasking on tap, and menu on long press. By default that would disable the built in 3 dot menu in apps like Gmail but in those roms you can reenable the 3 dots and still use the recent apps key as a menu key.
Is there any way to hide that on screen menu button that shows up at the bottom of the screen in Viper?
Thanks!

I found those options without a problem.
If I disable the Soft Menu Bar, it fixes the problem with apps like facebook and XDA, however in Gmail and other apps I lose the 3 button overflow from within the app itself.
In my attachment, the part circled in red is lost with the Soft menu bar disabled. When the Soft menu bar is enabled, I get back that button but also get the annoying black bar at bottom with the 3 dots in Facebook/XDA. CM10 and CleanROM both had a way to have the 3 dots from apps as well as disable the black bar while having the recent apps key do both menu and multitask.
I believe it is a build.prop change so there is no way to have it show just the in-app menu button

I hate how we can't have the best of both worlds with ViperXL 3.2.1. Before, we could turn off the menu bar, have the in-app 3-dot menu, and have the long-press menu button for apps that have yet to update their UI.
Now we have to long-press the menu button for every app, and constantly guess if the app we're using has a menu or not. Some people think this is fine. I don't. I thought the whole point behind custom ROMs and Android was the ability to change things to what we want, and not being limited by decisions made by people who think they know everything.
Lol then find a rom that does what you want or make it yourself

I recently installed CM10 and I have noticed that some of the menu buttons in apps like gmail and the play store are missing. I read that phones like the GS3 have physical buttons which are used instead of the usual onscreen triple dot button but I don't think my one x has a hardware menu button. here is a censored image of what my gmail app looks like:
The top left, those three lines there, tap that.
Also within cm under hardware keys in system settings, you can map the recent apps key to be a menu button. Then longpress to bring up recent apps.

I just flashed my One X to Carbon ROM, like it alot so far but having an issue, in some apps the action overflow button pops up on the screen (the three little stacked dots) but on others it does not and i have no way to get to the settings. i.e. i have autoguide app. you need the menu or action over flow button (which ever you chose to call it) to open a search to search specific forums and threads, ALSO i have photobucket app, you need the button so that you can select different albums. is this a rom issue or am i missing a settings button somewhere?
You need to remap the recent apps button to be the menu button, go to Settings/Carbon Fiber/Interface/Buttons. I think that's the right location anyway.

Thanks I found this option shortly after posting, any idea why some apps pop up with the 3 buttons and some don't?

It depends on the coding per app. Some apps have the overflow button even when there's a physical menu button, but on other apps it disappears when it detects a physical menu button.
