During one of my trainings when I was working in the corporate IT world, I learned a very important lesson. It focuses on learning from the best practices of others and it’s a great lesson even for real life.
I’ve used Touch ID sensors on iPhone and Samsung devices and they’re pretty impressive. However, I never realized what they were missing until I used the OnePlus 2. When compared to both older devices, one needs to press the home/lock button to wake the phone and then use the sensor. turn fingerprint to unlock the phone, on OnePlus 2 the touch sensor is a home capacitive touch key and just touching it wakes the phone and unlocks.
It’s just a meme, folks!
Now that I know, pressing a button may not be a pressing issue. But what I think is, unlocking the phone is one of the most frequent tasks on a smartphone, and if it can be streamlined, you can save a considerable amount of time.
So, today I will show you how to use touch on iPhone and Samsung as capacitive touch home key. The iPhone needs to be jailbroken, but any Samsung Android device (with a sensor) should work fine.
easyHome for Samsung Galaxy devices
To get started, you will have to download and install an app called easyHome for Samsung. Since the app uses the official Samsung SDK, no root access is required. When you launch the app, you’ll have to accept the license agreement and tap the icon start the app button once it loads.
That’s it, you can now use the touch sensor as a capacitive home button, but there’s more! app Setting, you can configure long touch actions like locking the phone and other stuff. But some of them are pro version and need to buy $1.69 to unlock all features. One of the best things is that you can disable the action on some apps by adding them to the blacklist section.
That’s almost everything about the easyHome Button for Samsung phones. You just use it, I guarantee that the fingerprint sensor still fully ensures the basic tasks that it has to perform.
Virtual home for iPhone
Since iOS is particularly concerned with how things work on its phone, your device must be jailbroken for this trick to work.
Cool Tip: See how to jailbreak an iOS 9.0.x device using the Pangu tool.
For that requirement, open Cydia and install a module called iOS 7 Virtual Home. Now, even though that module says iOS 7, it still works fine on all iPhones that have it. fingerprint sensor running on iOS 9 and above.
After installation, Spring Board will restart and Virtual house will be added to the iOS settings. You can now open the module and allow the device to use Touch ID as a virtual Home button. You can also use a long tap to open the recent apps bar, and believe me, it’s much better than pressing the home button twice.
Conclusion
So that’s how you can use the touch sensor as a capacitive home key and get rid of the boring home button on your device. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask them in our forum.
