Any way to switch placement of recent apps and back button?

Any way to switch recent apps and back button? As my phone have recent app list on left side and back button on rigth, I keep pressing wrong button on tablet. Is there a option somewhere to reverse it? (Non-Root).

Perhaps with a different home launcher.

Hi @Mokkun,

The order of the soft keys is by standard, left to right, back, home, recent apps. One way to reverse them is to enable Force RTL layout direction found amongst the Developer options in the Settings menu, though this will change the whole UI layout, not just the soft keys.

To be able to access the Developer options, go to Settings > About phone, then tap Build number seven times and Developer options will appear above About phone in the Settings menu.

Other than this there are no setting that does this.

It seems like a "left handed" mode would not have been a difficult feature to add.
Developers need to learn to give people options.
