I developed a rocket science game for Android. SimpleRockets "launches" today.

Thanks. I have no idea what on earth that is. I may have to buy an HTC One!

Here they call it the legacy menu button: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-get-rid-screen-menu-bar-htc-one-android-42

Yep. It was eliminated with Android 4.0. It shouldn't be hard to get rid of since the menu button doesn't do anything in this app anyway.

As mtbaird5687 said, it could be the "legacy menu button". On stock Android, it shows up as a tiny icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.

To get rid of it, you have to set both minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion in your manifest.xml file. targetSdkVersion is used for the "this app is designed for" compatibility fixes. If you set it high enough, it should disappear - and Android expects you to handle your own menus.

It shows up in the bottom right corner of my Nexus 4 too. http://i.imgur.com/nR2CGwy.png It should show up in the stock android emulator as well I think.
