In this video, I'll be showing you two methods you can use to swap the placement of the "Back" and "Recent Apps" buttons on your Nexus 6P. The first is a flashable ZIP, which can be installed with custom recovery.

The second is an option in GravityBox, which is an Xposed module, so you'll need to be rooted with the Xposed Framework installed for that one.

Either way you do it, swapping these buttons out can be helpful. If you're left-handed, it's a more natural layout. Or, if you own multiple Android devices and one of them is a Samsung with its backwards buttons, this can make switching between them a more consistent experience.
