If your device is still stuck in “physical button” or “capacitive button” technologies, you might have thought what sort of miracle would give you software-based on-screen menu buttons. Well, that miracle is here now, in concept. This is the “Simple Control” app for your Android device, which gives you on-screen “soft keys” for menu control, no root required.
Basically, it’s a menu bar that you can summon with a swipe of any edge of your touchscreen – although for practicality’s sake, you wouldn’t use this off the top edge where the natural Android top drawer resides. Some brands also have a resident bottom edge swipe, so Simple Control allows for swiping from the sides.
The soft keys are the three regular Lollipop menu bar soft keys – and there is no option for customization. There is a bit of customization available though. You can determine how thick the bar is and what color it appears in, as well as an opacity option.
You have to remember though, that it will basically cover whatever is on that part of your screen, it will not change the width or height of the original home screen in any way. If you have icons on that part of the screen, Simple Control will overlay on those. Of course, you can push back and hide the menu with a swipe towards the screen edge.
