Hi !

I've made a little zip, based on SGS3 Softkeys enabler for my Nexus S, because my capacitive keys are broken. This zip enable Softkeys.
It works on Nexus S, and should work on Nexus S 4G. I've installed it with CWM 6.0.1.0 in CM10, and it works.

Tested on :
- CM10 : Works
- Knzo's AOSP Strawberry : Works (thanks to af.wirapraja for the report)
- MIUI 2.8 : Works (thanks to dollabillgates for the report)
- ParanoidAndroid : Doesn't work (NOT SURE, need more reports !! Thanks to danielfg87 for the report)

FAQ :
- How can I disable the backlight ? Use BLD (Backlight Dimmer). It's a features from kernels (like Air Kernel or Matr1x). Set time of BLD to 0 with NSTools.
- Can you change the size of the buttons ? Sorry, but no. Because change size of buttons is possible, but only with one mod per rom, and few modifications. Ask other members or do it yourself.
- Can you customize the navbar ? Change color or other things ? No ! It needs framework-res modifications, and like size of buttons, it's only one per rom. Codename Android can do that !

If you can test it on some ROMs, it would be very great !

Thanks !

Just download a kernel with BLD (& set time to 0 with NSTools).

Can you make a disabler? Otherwise good job

I can't do anything for that, because with my mod, we can only set navbar at 0 or 1 (from build.prop). To change size, we need to change some things in framework-res.apk, and it will not be compatible with all ROMs. Buttons are in standard size (like the GNexus).

For the light, use BLD !

As far as I remember,
Look for systemui.apk/res/values/dimens.xml

I use nstools to disable backlight button by set bld to zero, but it doesn't really work. When I touch a key, 3 others light up for a little bit time (light up then off immediately). Anyone has this problem too?

I found out the best time set it to 55 and it won't blink
