i've used almost every custom rom for s3 mini and it's dedinitely a kernel problem. my greek i8190 has dead cap. buttons with bln kernel and golden kernel too... i really really hope you've got a fix for this issue.. bit i am running cm 10.2 anyway with on screen buttons. and, no, flashing the rom via odin doesn't solve the problem.
just waiting for a solution!
this ROM is amazing, but this issue with capacitive buttons...
sorry for my bad english!

please developers try to fix that stupid bug because of samsung... there must be at least 1-2% of s3 minis that their cap. buttons don't work after a kernel change (like in cm10. 10.1, 10.2)... i wish i could solve it but i' not a developer, i don't know that much...

The file we're actually using is just a symlink, I mean our path in use is fake on /sys/class/leds/button-backlight, which is linked with the real path, because is the global way that android uses. Changing it to point to the real path instead of the symlink may likely give compatibility problems with other apps, so I cannot change that on my public releases. But now that I said you what's wrong you can investigate it yourself.
A command that may work for this case is to run this on terminal and reboot (I'm not sure at all):
su
ln -s /sys/devices/platform/i2c-gpio.7/i2c-7/7-0020/leds/button-backlight/ /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/
didnt work for me but doesnt harm to try

It may seem offtopic, but it actually isnt:
In some devices capacitive buttons begin to fail as soon as you flash your phone!. If anyone with a failing phone is in doubt, go ahead back to stock and try rooting (be it by flashing with ODIN or installing as update.zip from recovery).
In my case, as soon as I flashed recovery (either CWM or TWRP, any version) the capacitive buttons started failing, and would work intermittently, then after a small period (around 3-5 minutes) they would begin functioning normally.

Did not work for me, there are no such paths:
/sys/devices/platform/i2c-gpio.7/i2c-7/7-0020/leds/button-backlight/ /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/
/sys/devices/platform/i2c-gpio.7/i2c-7/7-0020/leds/button-backlight/ /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/
CM 11 - 10-12-13 - also problematic
i've tried fresh install 4 times already (or what i think its a fresh install, im very new at this), with the stock room works, but with the last release of CM 11 from Maclaw (from today, 10/12/2013) does not work at all.
the ROM is the best i`ve seen, but the capacitive buttons dont work and im gettin desperate! i dont know what to do!
has anybody found a solution?
Thanks!! a lot !
