Description of Floating Soft Keys *ROOT*

* Requires rooted phones. If you don't know what root is, your phone is probably not rooted *
Ever felt that the default soft keys are too bulky? Or want to protect your Home hard button from wearing off? Then this app is just for you.
Presenting Floating Soft Keys.
This app makes use of pingpongboss's StandOut libraries to make small (and resizable) soft keys that you can drag anywhere across the screen. For devices with soft keys as default navigational controls, this app is most effective when used in combination with CyanogenMod's or ParanoidAndroid's expanded desktop mode.
The app has been tested to work properly on Nexus 4. If the app is not working on your device, let me know.
DISCLAIMER: Although the app isn't designed to harm and is safe as far as I can tell, if something happens to your phone due to this app / during the use of this app, please do not blame me. You can contact me for support and I'll try my best to help you, but my help will not include "monetary help". Use at your own risk.

  Good app and works well with root. Downside is it covers part of screen and keys cannot be customized much (such as order or most function). Also cannot be placed over existing soft nav key area.

  I have cracked my screen in the bottom left corner of my phone and the soft buttons don't work because of that. This app is a real savior until I can get the screen fixed. Maybe even after because I am used to it and it is conveniently when you can move around the soft buttons and reach them better. Thanks for a great app.

  the menu button on my HTC desire has been giving me problems for quite some time now. this is the only floating keys app (for gingerbread) that gives me menu /home/back with no fuss. great job. buttons in settings appear as rectangles with no text. please fix I've you can, not critical.
