Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Want to feel like you go the last iPhone X or replace a broken home button? This app adds an iPhone X lookalike home button at the bottom of your screen. This new home button is very simple. Just swipe up, left or right to launch a selected action. The available actions are: _Home _Recent apps _Back _Pull down notification panel /!\ If your device has a navigation bar (Home, Back and Recent apps buttons) on the screen, the button will be above the navigation bar! /!\ This app uses the Device Administrator permission. The only administrator policy used is \"force-lock\" and it is used to lock the device when the user has done the selected action. Permission : _Read Phone State => Needed (and only used) to load applications list because of some manufacturers limitations. _Write Internal Storage => Save screenshots in the device. This app uses Accessibility services.\n\nAccessibility services are used to start several actions (start multi-task, pull down notification panel, pull down quick settings, open power menu, simulate back). These actions can help people that need to use their phone with only one hand to start actions that are not easy to do with only one hand (for example pull down notifications). Accessibility services are only used to these actions.

X Home Bar - Free APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the X Home Bar - Free APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is f961906fd60b19ea976061092ddd00c9.
