[HTC One S] syntropic:
Ok.......

Now just a few questions.

Ironically, I really don't know what "transparent nav bar" means, so I wanted to ask this. Plus.. the following i don't know: "HTC KB arrows", "smart sync".

Lastly, the whole button customization page is sort of unclear. I don't know the difference between "default" recent apps, or Android 4.0 recent apps. I have only had this phone and recent apps is just recent apps... (What's the difference?).

Regarding this age-old debate of button customization options. I think it's great finally that the request some of us have had back in May to leave the recent apps button alone and instead simply mapping long press of the home button to "menu" is now available (I am exploring life without the 3-dot menu for the first time).

But now...Tapping "recent apps" still brings up the menu. If I am going to map recent apps to long press of the home button, then why should tapping "recent apps" bring up the menu again?

Also, although less confusing, long press of the recent apps button brings up recent apps, when at the moment I think I would prefer that long press of Recent Apps button did nothing (because I'd rather just have recent apps available by tapping), or maybe long press can be "HTC Speak"...as soon as someone tells me what that is (as I note its an option for long press of the home button and I have "menu" assigned to long press of the home button.)

Wow this is really confusing to try and explain clearly.

Maybe you should have just one area of the button customization page

focus on the "menu" placement since this really was the purpose of re-mapping buttons in the first place (when Zydroid came out) because people wanted to get rid of the the 3-dot menu..

For instance you could start with this as an option: (if user has disabled 3-dot menu, then provide the option for them to place that menu whether they want):

1. Tapping recent apps brings up "menu", and long press of Home remains unchanged.

2. Long press of Home brings up the "menu" and recent apps remains unchanged.

Then depending on the selections chosen above, you could then offer the user choices with the available empty buttons (either tapping or long press). This would make it much more clear to any new users.

Besides adding clarity, the goal (I think) would be to avoid changing things from stock too much. It was the reason I never wanted to get rid of the 3-dot menu originally (because it screwed me up as I was used to tapping recent apps for recent apps (stock)). Which is why a few of us wanted long press of Home to be the menu in the first place... Because long-press home was not mapped at all under stock so it wouldn't be a remap at all, but rather just an additional function.. And when you remap recent apps to menu and move recent maps to long press Home button (as has been done since Zydroid), you are creating two changes from stock which is most disruptive to one's routine. It just always made more sense to me to just add one new option instead of changing two existing ones..

My apologies if that is confusing or if I am discussing something that is already an option in Axiom Suite... I think I read the options pretty closely, but I might have missed it.

Ok.... That's it. Everything else is awesome!
