S5 to have S3 button layout

Hi guys I have an S3 which has served me well since it first came out. However I want an S5 or S5 mini. The only thing putting me off is the layout of the keys. I have seen on the S4 and S5 the left key brings up all open programs. Is there a way to change the function of the buttons so it works like the S3?

Thanks
 
There is a way but it requires root :/ so if your not into that than it may be difficult otherwise..

If yu do decide to get the s5 than you can take a look in the all things root section for more advice on how to accomplish your goals ;)

Good luck with whichever new device you choose!

Thanks for that. Is there something I should search for to find this out? I rooted my S3 soon as I got it so I have no problem. I am actually leaning more towards the S5 mini as the S5 is too big!!

Yeah no prob. It would be an xposed module. Have you heard of this before? I dont know the exact module as of now but i know i seen it on xda.. installing the xposed framework is so easy lol found here Xposed Installer | Xposed Module Repository

I'm not quite sure. So if I install the Xposed Module (after rooting the phone of course, which I can do) will I be able to easily just change the function of the left touch screen key to say bring up the options, and long hold the home button to bring up open programs etc. ?
