you can also use zMooth for replacing button saviour. its based on swipe gesture input. relatively easier but kinda blocking the way
[MOD] - Make Physical Volume Buttons on Herotab C8/Dropad A8 - **REQUIRES ROOT ACCESS**
I have created a sticky topic for this as I feel it is too important to be buried in the FAQ.
I think this is a great solution for one of the biggest issues with the original C8 design.
Hope you find it just as helpful!
THANKS Aimevous for asking the question!
THANKS arielp for the clever solution!

here's how i set up my device
1. download button remapper on market
2. i change the menu button -> volume up, back button -> volume down, home button -> back button
3. download button saviour on the market, set the trigger on right down corner, for menu and home replacement (this is onscreen softkey, on demand by trigger)
this way, i can set volume on the fly, during music playback/games, the volume button is for adjust media volume, while on desktop screen, this acted as system volume.
..
give a try.. you'll have better navigation![]()

mr.tass, thanks for the sticky

its better the back button is set as volume down, as this will be more inline with browser that using volume button as tab switcher, or for reading ebook for flipping page
but that's optional

you could buythe button savior pro if you like, then you can customized the button to more simpler placement, I'm setting it only display 3 button (menu,back,camera) so more cleaner

I chose the button orientation I did to match up with on-screen volume display when using it.mr.tass, thanks for the sticky![]()

indeed, but if you often read ebook/tab switching while browsing, it's not match up with the function, but again, its optional though
this is indeed a very nice solution
