Tutorial: press the Home button with gestures in iOS 5 (without jailbreak)

We recently talked to you about how to create custom keyboard shortcuts without jailbreakIt was quite successful and they suggested we tell you about this other feature of iOS 5.

Whether or not you have a jailbreak you can use assisted gestures to press the Home button from the screen using gestures, but not only that: mute, modify volume and create custom gesturesAny gestures you need can be executed with a single touch; in the video it is very clear.

    I love it!! I have it from day one, and I also think that one day I proposed it in a comment on a post of yours. And I like it because you help preserve the home button !!
    Thank you! 🙂

    @Gonzalo (if it is your name, author of the post), the article and the video are very good, thank you for publishing it… just one thing at the content level for future posts: don't be so crude or unsubtle to say that about «people missing a finger or has a stump »WTF ????????????, be subtle man! say for example "people with some kind of motor impairment in the hand" or "accessibility in their hand reduced" ... etc, etc.
    Regards!

      I have not meant to be rude or offend anyone, I have a deaf relative and he says he is deaf, he does not say that he is hearing impaired.

    Thank you so much for the trick! My home button is a bit cracked, so I think I'll use this from now on.
    You really are the best.
    Regards!

    Interesting article, thanks because I did not know, very practical and thanks to it we will guarantee the life of our Home Button.

    Big Gonzalo, another thing that I didn't know could be done directly with iOS 5. This is one of the reasons why I do JB because you preserve the mute and home buttons with gestures. Salu2,

    Ya que esto es actualidad IPHONE ya podiais haber colgado el video en un sitio que se pueda ver desde el un iphone… Digo yo!

    1.    gnzl said

      It can be seen from the iPhone, it is made from the iPhone, with an iPhone app and uploaded from the iPhone.
      .
      I am seeing it right now

    Thanks for the hack, but one question, can't multitask be accessed from this Assistive Touch ??.
    Greetings.

      You just have to press the virtual home button twice

        Thank you, as I will not have fallen to try, hehe, what a fool!

    Terrific. My home button hardly works anymore so I almost owe you my life. Another thing. Will there be some way to configure it so that only the home button is on the screen and not the menu with the four options. As if it were just a virtual home button. Very nice for the post eskerrik asko.

    1.    red run said

      The same thing I say, it would be a hoot that only a virtual home button could be put.

      1.    gnzl said

        Sorry, without jailbreak you can only do what you see. (which is not little)

        1.    red run said

          The jailbreak is not a problem, I have it done.
          I wanted to say that it would be good if something like this existed but it was just a virtual home button, that just by touching it, it simulated it directly, without leading to a menu.

              1.    red run said

                I know the post, in fact, from there I took advantage of the idea of ​​opening multitasking by pulling up, but that is not exactly what I mean. What I mean (sorry for repeating myself again) is a button like the one that creates accessibility, but that directly when touched it already emulates home. It is that it does not sound to me to have seen the accessibility as configurable in Activator ...


              2.    gnzl said

                Maybe I'm not understanding you, from activator you can configure a gesture to be the same as touching the home button, you don't see a button but you can use it with a gesture without touching the physical one.
                .
                I have to touch the status bar

    I am struck by a question, what is the use of the gesture with two fingers or with three fingers that you see in the video? is that I am not clear about its function. Thanks in advance

    Please can you put the videos that can be seen from iOS devices since my iPad is not capable of playing it and if it is not too much to ask that they can also be seen from rrs clients without having to access your website. If it serves as an example, there are other pages such as apple sphere that have used it for a long time.

    1.    gnzl said

      It's the same system that applesfera uses as you say, so it should work the same for you! It works for me on iPhone and iPad without problems, on iOS 4 and 5.
