+1 for a soft home button

[tvdbulck]

as for the 'usefulness' of this application:

it has been a life saver (and especially money saver) to me!!

My home button does not function anymore and this application has turned my almost useless iphone back into a perfectly usable phone!

So thanks a 1000 times to the developer!

interesting... I hope someone can put this to good use.

Hey is this app still alive? And does it work with iphone 3g 2.2? Or is there any other apps like this? I could really use this kind of a app cause my home button is broken

Thanks!

All these people saying "useless app" etc really piss me off. If someone hadn't made this, I'd have to continue completely turning off my iphone and then turning it back on every time I want to use a new program (ie. change from safari to itunes or even just to use my phone).

iPhone home buttons DO apparently wear out, and to me this app is useful enough that I won't have to spend a couple hundred dollars and lock into a two-year contract (which would cost me a $750 deposit because I can't continue my gophone account with AT&T for the new version of iPhone and my credit is bad) JUST TO HAVE A FUNCTIONAL IPHONE.

All you people wasting your time commenting on something that you don't have a use for and discouraging developers who are actually doing people with dysfunctional phones a favor really make me sick. I don't even care that this post is a year old.



Thank you so much to whoever created this!

Pointless? Say your home button is malfunctioning. You take it to the macstore, and they tell you your phone has been wet, and liquid damage is not covered by the warranty. But the phone works fine except for the home button... luckily, instead of forking out the cash for a new phone, you find an app for a soft home button! I wouldn't call that pointless, would you?

i cant add the source

[koalabear]

I completely agree!
I was reading this thread with so much hope because my home button stopped working. But there were so many posts complaining about the app. Why do people complain if it's not relevant to them?

I think it's a fantstic idea.

Now, please, where is the source? I can't seem to locate it from the quotes above...

I have a 3g on 3.0 in which the home button is not working. I was able to upgrade the phone by taking the phone apart and jumping the home button contacts. I ssh'ed the ClickOnce app onto the phone. It shows up, and when I hit the app, it acts as the home button. But no button shows up when I am in any other app. So, so far, not working.

BTW, I just ordered a replacement home button flex cable / ribbon.

I found a workaround for my earlier problem. Install sbsettings and add clickonce to the dock. Its annoying to just press the home button: swipe, dock, clickonce. But it works. I think mQuickDo is another app that may help/
