Hi, guys. I hope my post doesn't break any rules around here.
I have an Asus Zenfone 7 Pro, and I'm using gesture navigation. Sometimes, in landscape mode, it's harder to go to home screen by swiping from the side.
The phone has the "smart key", which is basically the power button with fingerprint sensor on the side. It has the option to customize it for various functions or shortcuts, but not to act as a home button. It has the option to open a certain app.
So, is there a way to make the simplest app that when opened it will send you straight to home screen and close itself? I'm trying to avoid rooting the phone for this.
Please
This may help.
On Samsung's I run One Handed Operation plus to allow multiple swipe gesture based switches from the sides of the display.
The link above describes how to implement a similar XDA app on non rooted phones.

Im sorry if this post is not supposed to be here. I'm still kinda new to the forum. I asked e question in the Q&A section but I didn't get any good answers.
Is there a way I could disable the search button permanently? Not the long press function only, I'm having more issue with its short press search function. I keep hitting it on accident when I'm typing with my right thumb. Let me know. Thanks in advance.

Should have kept it in Q&A. This place is cluttered enough. That being said, I'd like to know too. I hate that button. Matter of fact, I think I hate capacitive hardware buttons in general.
Once we have perm root you can use a button remapper. Reason full root needed is upon changing the buttons function it reboots, thus with temp root it will reset itself...

Does anyone know how to customise the lock screen on the Samsung s4 I want to remove the clock and the words that say life companion off the lock screen, anyone have any ideas??
Swipe down on your lock screen and tap the icon that appears

There is not much you can do with security enabled...either that message screen (you can customize the message by the way) or the clock, No third party widgets unless you revert to slide to unlock. The demo of hover mode is pretty cool, though, but i will take security.

I hope this is in the right place. If not, please move to correct forum (or delete if not allowed/appropriate).
I'm looking at creating my own lock screen (replacement) app - not an app that locks the screen, and was hoping some of you kind, helpful people on here could point me to any tutorial(s) that can get me started.
Thank you.

Good morning.
I am looking for a very simple, single purpose "app" that doesn't seem to exist
I want an app that simply returns to the home screen.
Reason:
I want to use my Bixby key on Galaxy S10 as "Home Button" (BUT):
I do not want to use button re-mappers as this is redundant and irritating.
(So that any phone's gesture or key settings that will load an "app" (but not an activity) can go to home screen without other monitoring or remapping software running).
The stock software already allows the remap of the Bixby button to a different "application" (Not activity), So I am in search of a small app that does just that - simply calls / loads / launches the home screen and closes. Period. I've read many people want the key as "back button" and a small app that does only "back" would be cool too. I wish I had time to SDK and tinker like I used to do with Windows :
Anyone know of such a thing, or willing to throw a paragraph of code into an APK for fun ? :fingers-crossed:
Thanks everyone...

Firstly.
Instagram app turns into dark mode automatically by itself and nothing can be seen especially if u go to setting options. It happens most of the time. I have to restart everytime this happens. Does it happen to you all?
Secondly.
How to remove Google from home screen swipe left? There is no options in home setting to remove it.. if i force stop Google app then Google lens doesn't work.
Thirdly.
Why is the number keypad for hidden folder and hide apps so small and way down below its very uncomfortable to type the password with such key pad.
If i have more i will add later... For now someone help me to resolve these problems.
