Top 10 Must-have app for devices with broken Hardware Keys

Top 1 Must-have app on HTC HD2

Top 1 Software key app with the best customization features

Works on 4.1 and UP

If you are afraid of breaking your hardware keys, have broken keys, or simply don't have any keys on your device, get Button Savior to make your life easier.

Button Savior V2.1 is even better. If you have a Kitkat device, you get the ability to turn off the status bar or bottom navigation bar to release more screen area!

This app will display a floating software key panel that can be summoned everywhere anytime. Button Savior even supports E-INK display with specially made themes provided by XDA member Berlinski.

To effectively use Button Savior Non Root, consider the following strategies:

Maximize Screen Area: If you have a Kitkat device, utilize the option to turn off the status bar or bottom navigation bar to free up more screen space.

Customize the Button Panel: Tailor the button panel to your needs by customizing the positions of buttons such as Home, Back, Recent Task, Screen Off, Volume, and Camera.

Utilize PopControl: Add your frequently used actions to PopControl for instant access.

Accessibility Service: Make sure to enable accessibility services for the app.

Floating Trigger Icon: Use the free floatable trigger icon for easy access to the button panel.

Theme Selection: Choose a theme that suits your needs, especially if you have an E-INK display.

Trigger Actions: Explore both gesture and click trigger options to find the most convenient method for activating the buttons.

Hover Control: If you use a mouse or Samsung S-Pen, enable hover control for automatic software button visibility.

Swipe to Show: Take advantage of the swipe-to-show feature to display the Button Savior panel from either side of the screen.

Uninstallation: If you face issues during uninstallation, disable the screen off feature in your device's security settings first.
