[android help] menu item placement

As the title describes, I am looking to place my menu items on the top of the sherlock action bar. This task that I just described, with all my knowledge till now, should have been there by default but it's kind of annoying that the menu items appear below, like a split action bar.

In the coding part of my application contains the basic code needed and no there is no uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" in my manifest file. In my menu item:

          android:icon="@drawable/ic_nmode"
       android:showAsAction="always"
       android:title="@string/nmode"/>

          android:icon="@drawable/normal"
       android:showAsAction="always"
       android:title="@string/normalmode"/>

          android:icon="@drawable/ic_action_refresh"
       android:showAsAction="always"
       android:title="@string/refresh"/>

           android:icon="@drawable/settings"
        android:showAsAction="never"
        android:title="@string/settings"/>

          android:icon="@drawable/about"
       android:showAsAction="never"
       android:title="@string/about"/>

          android:icon="@drawable/cancel"
       android:showAsAction="never"
       android:title="@string/exit"/>

Can anyone please help ?? Thanks in advance.
