Reverse "back" and "recent" buttons on S4 mini?

[noiru]

Hi,

Is there any way to reverse the Back and Recent hardware buttons on the S4 mini (i9195)?

I'm currently using Lineage 17.1, so I know it's possible to enable on-screen navigation (with the back button on the left and the recent on the right) but I don't want to use on-screen buttons.

I've seen there are some apps that claim they can reverse these buttons, but it seems like overkill to install an always-on app (possibly containing ads and/or spyware) just to have these buttons reversed.

Is there no simple hack that can do this? (preferably without needing root)

Thanks for any help.

... any way to reverse the Back and Recent hardware buttons ...

Although not an immediate solution, it may be of interest to know that your wish is possible on my S4mini Value Edition (i9195i) using an amazingly wonderful ROM call'd ColtOS. (I also have a regular original S4mini (i9195) using Lineage 17.1, but would prefer to use ColtOS if only somebody would build it.)

Interesting to know that very option is included in ColtOS! Shame the ROM is not available for the i9195, although I think I'd prefer to stick with Lineage for now anyway, just wish there was a simple solution to this buttons issue...
