About My Home Button

An alternative to the home button.
(This app uses Accessibility services.)
You can create or remove two notifications in the notification drawer that can not be cleared by system.
One is for going to the home screen.Another is recent apps switcher.

(you can create three shortcuts:ToHome,Recente apps switcher,Drop down the status bar.)

+I'm not sure it's compatible with all version of android.

2.2.12 add floating buttons(not root,It uses Accessibility services,especially the api "performGlobalAction" to perform global actions)

In order to open the floating button panel tap the home button once as quick as possible . Seems to me there is a bug in the floating button docking. As before it would stay in one place and you had to long press for 3 seconds then you were able move it. Now it has no docking it's on the fly and that's messing up the app as it appears to me that it registering as u want to move it and not open the panel. So a quick tap with the finger opens the panel try not to move the floating button when ur tapping.

Absolutely perfect for what I needed! My bottom right side of my screen no longer works. So that means my Home button, and recent apps button doesn't work. So I was freaking out I a way. If I was in a game, I couldn't kick the back button to exit, I had to restart my phone. Runs perfectly fine for me!! Thanks!

Update: The latest update is horrible. You have to touch the button without having it move a penny which is very difficult to do. If it moves, then it becomes irresponsive. If you manage to touch it with lightening speed, then it works! Original comment Awesome app that does not require rooting. Just would have been great if the button can be hidden or moved without Kong press (just like easy touch)

like it but i cant able to tap on it while my screen is lock maybe it is better to enable that feature so theres no need to use the physical home button even the screen is locked.

There are more buttons like "recent apps" but they don't work. I suspect this is because this app wasn't updated for Android Nougat. I like how the shortcut looks on the notification tray.

Was looking for something to put on a non-rooted Amazon Fire tablet in order to go to an alternate launcher. Thus, what would be useful if for the floating button, I can decide if I want a single button (or show all buttons) in order to avoid two key presses and if I can override the default home behavior to go to a specific app. This could also be useful for people who want to use two launchers.

Latest update ruined my favorite MyHomeButton!!! Floating button not respond on one tap. Double tap sometimes open the Floating button, but very hard to double tap on it. Please, fix this problem. Forced to use only buttons in the Notification panel. Before the Latest update, all functions were ok, including Floating button. I believe you will fix this. Thank you. From loyal user.

Loved it til update. Now useless - floating button may or may not open with multi taps. Anyone looking for alternative try Back Button (no root)- it's better than this was pre-update...

Used to love the app, now hate it! Can't tap on icon like before. Lots of reviewers saying the same, so the developer has known for more than a week. Should have had a fix for such a major bug. Looking for a different app now.
