Welcome to 'Paul's Featured Apps', where I pick one of my favourite apps as featured app of the day! Today's app is...

Button Savior

What they say

Requires root
Requires USB Debugging enabled

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

This app will display a floating software key panel which can be summoned everywhere anytime.

[Features]
(1) Simulates 'Home' 'Back' 'Search' 'Back' 'Recent Task' 'Screen Off'
(2) Can set to always open or auto hide based on user
customizable timer
(3) Two types of trigger action to choose from
(4) Added Camera key and Call key simulation
(5) Customizable trigger position

What we say

A great app for anyone that's using a device without a full button complemenet (e.g. an Advent Vega), anyone using a device with faulty buttons or anyone who either wants to save their buttons or doesn't like the placement. It implements the android main UI buttons on the screen in an intrusive and effective way.

Permissions

ROOT / control vibrator / display system-level alerts / retrieve running applications

I would like to see the option whereby the buttons would auto-hide after click.
