I did it on an international HTC One X model (GSM and Tegra 3) with stock rom
1.28.401.9. I don't know if it works on other HTC One X versions, non GSM or non Tegra 3. So do it at your own risks.1) Download the file from the link provided at the end of the #1 post [MOD|1.26|1.28|1.29] Disable the annoying ICS 3-dot Menu | Aroma **May-05**
2) It is wise to make a backup of your ROM. Detailed instructions can be found in HTC One X (GSM) : detailed instructions to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root at steps B.10) to B.14) of the B - Install a custom recovery section.
It also means that before any attempt to flash any MOD, you should install a custom recovery and make a backup of your stock ROM.
The step by step instructions are pretty much the same as the ones for installing the HTC One X (GSM - Tegra 3) : flashing [MOD] Lower Autobrightness values - battery saver - detailed.
3) Plug your HTC One X on USB
4) Put the aroma_3dot-remover-v1.2.1.zip file at the root of your HTC One X sdcard (into the folder
/sdcard). There are different ways to do it. I rather like to use the adb push command
droid $ adb push aroma_3dot-remover-v1.2.1.zip /mnt/sdcard/
795 KB/s (3311393 bytes in 4.067s)
droid $ adb shell
shell@android:/ $ ls -l /mnt/sdcard/aroma*
----rwxr-x system sdcard_rw 3311393 2012-05-12 08:37 aroma_3dot-remover-v1.2.1.zip
shell@android:/ $ exit
droid $
5) Wait 5 seconds then unplug the USB cable from the HTC One X
6) Power off the HTC One X
7) Power on the HTC One X in bootloader mode by holding Volume-Down button while pressing the Power button.
FASTBOOT should be highlighted in blue.
Before doing this, you should ensure your phone has at least 50% battery !!
8) Select RECOVERY using the Volume-Down button, then press the Power button.
The "quietly brilliant" white HTC screen appears briefly.
Then the "ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.1" black screen appears.
The "Reboot system now" item is highlighted in blue.
9) Touch the 2nd item "install zip from sdcard"
The screen "Apply update from .zip on SD card" appears with the item "choose zip from sdcard" highlighted in blue.
10) Touch the highlighted item "choose zip from sdcard"
The screen "Choose a zip to apply" appears with a list of files and directories.
11) Scroll through the files and directories (with your finger) until you see the file aroma_3dot-remover-v1.2.1.zip (at the end of the list). Then touch it.
A new list appears
12) A new list appears with a lot of "No" and the item "Yes - Install aroma_3dot-remover-v1.2.1.zip" in the middle. Touch the "Yes - aroma_3dot-remover-v1.2.1.zip" item.
The installation begins and a log is displayed at the bottom the screen.
13) A white screen "Welcome" appears with instructions. Press the "Next >" green button at the bottom of the screen.
14) The "ChangeLog" screen is displayed. Press the "Next >" green button at the bottom of the screen.
15) The "Installation type" screen is displayed with multiple-choices radio buttons. On this screen, you have to chose
- your ROM version : among 1.26, 1.28, 1.29
- the behavior for the Menu : among STOCK (standard behavior), long press on HOME button, long press on RECENT TASKS button
16) The "Ready to install" screen is displayed. Press the "Install Now" green button at the bottom of the screen. The installation begins.
17) The "Installing" screen appears with a status "The installation wizard has successfully installed ..." at the top of the screen. Press the "Next >" green button at the bottom of the screen.
18) You're back on the recovery's screen "Apply update from .zip on SD card".
19) Touch the last item "++++Go Back++++"
You're now back on the screen "ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.1"
The "Reboot system now" item is highlighted in blue.
20) Touch the "Reboot system now" item.
The HTC One X reboots.
A dialog box "Android is upgrading ..." appears with the message "Optimizing application nn of nn"
21) There's an error report notification. I choose to ignore it.
The new MENU behavior should now be active.
Enjoy ;-)

Doesn't seem to work at the first time : I still see the 3-dot menu bar at the bottom of the screen in Aldiko, and Kindle, ...
I've probably done something wrong ... :-(
Works fine since I flashed the Modaco's Stock ROM DUO which have been DeOdexed (according to blubber's post an odexed ROM may make the MOD fail.
A specific MOD has been made for odexed stock ROM to disable 3-dot menu button : head to [Mod][Stock][Root][1.29.401.11] Remove Menubar for odexed Stock Rom!
