With the size of Android flagships increasing every few months, it has become near impossible to use them with one hand, unless god has gifted you Hulk sized palms. Most custom ROMs like Paranoid Android and CyanogenMod solve this problem by offering PIE control, which offers on-screen navigation keys whenever you swipe from the edge of the screen. Thus, you can in a single gesture go back to your home screen, or to the Recents app menu etc.
If you are tired of continuously shuffling your phone to reach the navigation buttons, or are just interested in trying out PIE without flashing a new custom ROM, give LMT launcher a shot.
