How to Change Recent Apps Layout on HTC One M8 Running Lollipop
If you've already upgraded your One M8 to Android 5, you have noticed the card view layout when going to the recent apps view. To get back the grid view and change recent apps layout on HTC One M8 running Lollipop, do as follows:
1. Go to the recent apps view (Tap the button right to the home button)
2. Tap the 3dot icon on the top right and head to the Settings.
3. Touch the Layout option and select one of the options: the new Card View or the old Grid View

I really hate the new 'Recent apps'-list of 5.0. I cannot change this to the old grid-layout (No 3-dot icon). Is this due to my m8 not being an dev. edition? Do you know if the change can be made through the general settings? Any help will be appriciated
Hi, I just checked the option on an unlocked device. and the 3dot icon was at the top right of the screen. Make sure you first go to the Recent Apps view and then look for the icon
I looked in to the settings and couldn't find any setting to change the layout from there.
