Check out the app Pie Control (great app but im not sure if it requires root)
If that doesnt work, try something like Dock4Droid.

with these apps you slide your thumb in from bottom of screen to bring up your choice of buttons/app shortcuts.
Very fast and convenient when u get them set up right

I also use pie control, you can configure the switches for anything, doesn't require rooting, also try swipe pad does the same thing, and just noticed swipe home button in the play store, not tried it but sounds like it does what you need.
