HTC as "Home" button? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Is there a way for me to make;
Back=Back
Long press back=Menu
HTC= Home
Long press HTC= Google Now
Home=Recent apps,
If someone could either do this for me or provide me with instructions I would be very grateful.

I'm pretty sure the "htc" logo, is just a logo. There isn't any way to make it do anything.

The HTC logo has already been made as a menu button, and also is implemented in "logo2wake/sleep" and "sweep2wake". But to answer the op's question, yes it should be possible

Do you think HTC will role out an update to use the logo as a menu and get rid of the black 3 dot menu on some apps?

It was explained by a member of HTC's support team in a Reddit Q&A that the HTC logo in fact does not have a sensor beneath it:
http://www.reddit.com/r/htcone/comments/1d6p8f/debunking_some_myths_and_answering_some_common/
Myth/Question #1: The HTC Logo is a capacitive key that can be programmed as an extra input option.
A: There is an XDA video showing a user who mapped this HTC logo to respond to button presses. Even with that video- this is false. There is no capacitive sensor located in that area. The XDA user programmed the final row of pixels (or a couple rows) located in the middle of the phone to be accessed as a keypress. There is no hardware supporting capacitive touch in this location (one of the engineers showed me the opened up device personally).
There is an image I found online and posted in this thread showing the capacitance locations

Cool...
...but it does work as a button, regardless if it's a capacitive one or not. Nobody here said it's capacitive, just asking if it could be used as a something other than a menu button which is does do in all custom kernels. The OPs request seems totally do-able with a custom kernel.
But no, HTC will likely never make it a feature. But that is why we have bad ass devs.

Not to harp, but the logo is not a button, period. No matter what kernel you use, you will never be able to press on the logo itself and have the device respond. Every implementation of logo2wake or logo2menu will say to hit the area "above the logo" to activate the feature, since you're then close enough to the screen to trip those first few sensors.

I mean, so long as it works, no one really got "trolled" per se.

I just have my logo or above it for the technical people as my menu button. Home is home, long press Google now, double tap for recent. That's ideal for me. I'd want my home as home not menu

Man, all these kernel devs are lying to us, calling it "logo2wake" and stuff when it should be called "eversoslightlyabovethelogobutnotonthelogobecausethelogoisn'tarealbutton2wake"
I wonder why they don't call it that...Oh, because it sounds retarded, that's why.
I get it's the screens digitizer which is ever so slightly functional under the black border at the bottom of the screen and they simply remap the tiny sliver above the HTC logo to function as button.

Thought my home and back was faulty . It sometimes is less responsive than other times (double tap to get multi apps ) but I'm presuming that's a software glitch

Others are reporting issues with the buttons sometimes not responding, not sure if it's a software glitch, or just a small footprint for the buttons, ie you have to press right on the button and not in the general area if you know what i mean.
Cool I'll relax then and stop worrying my phone is faulty. Big thanks

I would monitor how you go with pressing the buttons, it may be a glitch, but i know when i'm using mine, i am often off the button when i press it, being used to the One X for the last year, the buttons are further to the edge, so automatically i have been pressing further out than the actual buttons are.
I always turn mine off. Just saying lol

The capacitive area is in fact VERY small. Just barely bigger than the Home and Back icons themselves. Precision touch is required and is why I suspect some think its not responsive

Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39498430&postcount=7
Seems that the One has very small area of touch for buttons, so probably not software problem.
Turn on vibrate and you will realise how small of an area we have .. seems the way it's been designed and not a bug . Vibrate assists because you know when your missing now don't have the issue

Problem with HTC picking call

Hey guys I have a HTC one and due to its feather touch the phone call gets cancelled or connected in my pocket itself. Ian not sure what to do right now so any help would be great. I would like to pickup my phone without any problems. Thanks

How does the phone move about so much in your pocket that it gets to slide the Answer Call button?? You need new pants bro
I'm impressed of forum.xda-developers.com , I need to say. Really not often do I encounter a phorum that's each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you have got hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about.

Touching doesn't answer calls. To answer phone calls screen lock you have to drag the Answer Call button. So you probably have the screen on while in your pocket.

I tried to change the touch and hold delay option to medium or even long, but nothing happen since this problem still made me crazy a lot. Does anyone else have the same problem with me that just tap anywhere on the screen to answer or end call in some case without slide the answer icon, I'm so crazy because most time I put my cell phone in the pocket.
I also had the problem but was fixed.

It will be my pleasure if you can show me how to fix this problem, I tried with some modification in accessibility option but nothing happened. I think that many other people have the same problem with me and be waiting for your help.
firstly in accessibility make it long touch and i then am using a cover.Other options could be rooting and going to a different rom but i would never root my device but,if u are into rooting then u could try it.

Yes I have that same problem and find it extremely annoying. Same with unlocking it..just the slightest touch on the screen anywhere and it unlocks. Might as well not have a lock screen if its that easy 2 unlock. I want to have to slide the lock icon up to unlock. For answer/decline call its just touch answer or touch decline, no sliding anything. Id prefer the sense 4.1 lock screen with the ring
EDIT: Has nothing to do with short/long touch. I found that turning off accessibility services solves the lock screen problem. Don't know about calls yet. Haven't tested that. Only the lock icon would move, now they all do as they should and just touching the screen doesn't unlock it anymore. Have to slide up to unlock as it's suppose to be

Thank for your quick reply. Firstly, I found that changing the touch delay option in accessibility become longer does not change anything.Secondly, I do not really want to you cover since I used the 1st cellphone until now. Therefore this problem is hard to fix until root my cellphobe. But the same with you, I think that I do not need to root my phone for this stupid reason. Just like you guys, I just hope HTC also quickly realize this problem soon and give some fix bugs in the next update. Anyway, thank for you help!

Light leaking from soft-keys onto the screen

Hi guys
A couple of weeks ago I noticed a light leak in the bottom right corner of my HTC One. I'm sure it's leaking from near the Home button key. It seems as if the adhesive has come of or something, because it didn't happen since the beginning. It's visible only when the capacitive keys light up and the background in dark. The leak sprays on the screen for almost an inch!
I'm wondering how serious is this problem? What should I do?
I've attached a couple of pictures, they're not the best ones but thats what I could do with an iPhone 4.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. Just installed a rooted stock ROM and a different app (Capacitive Buttons) to disable my button lights. Works just fine now.
The reason I would've preferred an app that doesn't require root is that I enjoy receiving OTA updates, so initially I didn't want to root. But all is well now, so whatever

Screen bleed issues
Having read some of the comments and issues with the M7 HTC One, please make use of these suggestions, if you
have a problem like i have,
1. The bleed issues and severity of these issues is 'handset specific' BUT is know by HTC and most retailers in the UK
(Carphone Warehouse, Phones 4U and all the UK carriers, ie, EE shops, etc).
2. I had this issue & can be resolved (in some or all instances by flashing a halo, or light Rom) This however is not ideal
for several reasons and obviously is not a fix as it invalidates your warranty if rooted and returned to the manufacturer or
retailer.
TAKE ACTION.
1. Return your handset and ask for a replacement, yes, they nearly all have some problems but after 30 mins of sifting through
a dozen or so handsets i found one that was "slightly better" than my first handset but not ideal.
2. Buy a Samsung, Sony or any other device if this matter is not resolved at, point of sale...
It's not the best BUT you do have rights and a choice, great handset, but not for everyone !!!!

HTC Speak

I'm not sure what all this app does. I believed it was for voice dial and the car dock. I'm on ViperOne ROM and I have the car dock uninstalled through the ROM installer.
So, today it just popped up when I picked it up. I was at work and I hit the back button and it was gone. I've never seen that screen before, I can't duplicate what it did, and it wasn't in my recents.
Anyway I'm not worried about it just curious.

Actually I think it's ok. It works that's always a plus.
Still wish I could duplicate what I did.
Another thing that I just remembered that I discovered. Was using my boss's radio at work and hooked up my m8. Radio had an elastic thing to hold an mp3 player. As soon as the phone saw the elastic, it went into dot matrix mode lol. Kinda funny.
