About HomeBot
HomeBot lets users assign an action to a long press of the Android home button. Available actions include opening an app or web page, toggling the flashlight or screen brightness, and opening the recent-apps screen. This gives the hardware or system button a shortcut role for a selected function. The app does not require root access, but it must be selected as the device’s Assistant app in Android settings. This system setting is necessary for the long-press action to be handled by HomeBot. The supplied description does not list other triggers or customization beyond the available actions. Its purpose is a small, configurable shortcut utility for devices where the home-button long press can be assigned through Android’s assistant setting.
