Extend Samsung phone’s touch function with ‘easyHome’

October 23, 2015

People will never be satisfied. Before touchscreen displays were introduced, we’re all happy with keyboards and buttons. That’s better than cranking whatever gadget to generate power. And when touch became the standard, people started dreaming of fully eliminating physical buttons. You know that may take a while but on Samsung phones, there’s a way to reduce the times of tapping the physical home buttons.

Not that pressing the button takes a lot of time and work but tapping on a screen is much easier. It’s faster and more convenient. With the ‘easyHome for Samsung’ app, there’s no need to press on the home button. Simply touch on it the way you would touch on-screen buttons. You don’t have to exert effort because a simple touch of your finger can unlock or lock the screen.

This app will only work for select Galaxy devices: Samsung Galaxy S5, S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, Note 4, Note 5, A8, and Alpha.

This easyHome for Samsung app lets you jump to home, lock the phone, or wake the screen with one touch. The app’s functionality is made possible by the fingerprint reader feature on the Samsung devices we mentioned. If that’s the case, then maybe other phones with fingerprint readers can have a similar app, right? A simple hack will make it possible.

A free version is available for download but to access all features, you need to download the $1.69 pro version.
