Do you wonder where the thee dots menu button comes from in your PhoneGap Android application and how to disable it?

There is no option for that in PhoneGap 2.0 and it's quite tricky to find out.
I found the solution in this thread:

You simply have to increment the "android-minSdkVersion" preference value in you config.xml file to at least 14:

Please keep in mind that devices with a lower version will not run anymore. Happy coding!
