*Root is required for all functions except go to home screen.*

edit: Just found another app call Button Savior that does all of this as well.


Apps:
1. Wave Launcher
2. Home Button (optional, but faster than home shortcut on Virtual Button)
3. Multitask Shortcut (Shows up as "Recent Apps" in app drawer)
4. Virtual Button


Directions
1. Install Wave Launcher. Add Recent Apps to first two spots and Home button to the rest (so you can quickly swipe out from the side and go to the home screen without being precise)
2. Install Virtual Button and go through set up instructions to add menu and search. You can also add Home and a few other apps if you only want to use Virtual Button and Not Wave Launcher. I like using Home Button because the swipe action is faster.

Screenshot attached of Open Virtual Button (press arrow in left to open and close) and Wave Launcher (swipe from left to open-auto close) Both are movable to anywhere on screen.

Please feel free to ask any questions if this is confusing.

Here is a gesture based alternative. There is also a free more limited version.
