How to Add Android L Like Softkey in iOS

Android and iOS both have something awesome. Those awesome features and quality have made them a winner in their own track. For example, Android most of the Android mobiles have softkey bar, which includes back button, home button and recent app list opener button. This softkey menu bar is really useful.

However, unfortunately, iOS mobile users would not get this button menu bar since Apple has no such feature. However, here is an awesome jailbreak tweak that will let you add Android L or standard Android softkey in iOS mobiles.
