How to get rid of the on-screen menu bar on the HTC One with Android 4.2

On the newest firmware, a simple setting change will banish one of this phone's major annoyances
The HTC One's unsightly on-screen menu bar was never the most elegant way to handle apps that still use Android's legacy "menu" key. We said as much in our review of the phone back in March. Thankfully with the new Android 4.2 update that's now rolling out in some countries, it's now possible to get rid of it entirely, and use a long-press of the home key to access menu functionality instead.

Simple. Easy. And we're a little surprised it's not this way by default. In any case, if there's one setting you'll want change after getting the 4.2 update for your HTC One, this is it. So long, on-screen menu bar.
