HomeTouch

Action with a touch on fingerprint sensor + a virtual home button for android

Introduction of HomeTouch

★ HomeTouch enables touch feature for home buttons intergrated with fingerprint sensor. It transforms the button into a powerful soft button, manipulating your phone now becomes a relaxing and comfortable experience: In stead of pressing the sensor down to navigate to home screen, you just need to softly touch it.

★ Available actions: navigation to home screen, turn off screen, toggle control desk, take screenshot, navigation back, open notification panel, open quick setting panel, show power button menu, show recent app stacks, launch device assistant, launch camera, switch to previously used app, and show application switcher (similar to Alt+Tab on Windows, switching back and forth between recent applications has never been so easy with this one-touch concept implemented in HomeTouch)

★ A virtual home button on screen is also available for the same convenient functionalities for mobile phones without fingerprint sensor

★ Sound, vibration, delay, color themes ... is selectable.
