Flashing this will enable navigation bar, and disable capacitive touch buttons on Nexus S.
Make sure to set the Backlight Dimmer delay to 0 using the NSTools, so the capacitive touch buttons don't light up.
If you are using the navigation bar, I recommend setting the LCD density to 200 or 190. Edit it with Rom toolbox, or
navigate to /system/build.prop/ro.sf.lcd_density=200 edit it with text editor and reboot.
Always do a backup before flashing. It should work for any JB rom.
To disable navigation bar, reflash the rom, restore the backup or flash disable nav bars.
You are doing this at your own risk.
Its based on Brainmaster's tweaks for android, all thanks goes to him.
Added files, they set dpi to 190 or 200 or disable Nav bars.
Screenshots please.

You get these three buttons on bottom of your screen.

Or you can just add
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
To your build.prop and reboot. It works with every ROM I think. To disable, just set it back to =1.

First time I went from 240 to 200, I wiped googleplay, everything else worked okay, as far as I remember.
If you get FC's wipe that app.
If BLD is set to zero, this will just turn off the backlight right, but they will still work when pressed. Is there a way to disable them for real otherwise what's the point of the nav bars, right?

Oh OK. So the zip turns then off already. Question though, in the BLD settings, setting it to zero turns off BLD meaning the buttons are always lighted up. I set it to 1 to turn it off almost immediately.

Yes you are correct, I used NSTools, and set it to 0, I assumed its the same with CM settings, I will try to fix it. Thanks
EDIT: OK no go, CMsettings work like that, if its set to BLD 0 its always on, NSTools looks like overrides it.
great! this is working just great. really thanks! but i don't see any problem by leaving screen density to 240 though. been opened all apps installed on my ns
quick edit: i am using CM 10 nightly

So all you have to do, is disable BLN, and put below code(script) in init.d?
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightdimmer/enabled
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/backlightdimmer/delay
Works for me at least

Tried the mod last night and it works! Unfortunately, my fingers are already too big for the default PDI, and reducing it to 200 won't really help me very much. Thanks for sharing this anyway. I'm sure some users have been looking for this.

in order to turn off capacitive buttons follow these:
1. using root browser lit go to system.
2.then "usr" then " keylayout"
3. open sec_touchscree.kl > open as > text file > rb text editor
4. insert "#" in front of lines u want to make them stop working.
like
#key 158 BACK virtual
will make back button stop working.

I've seen some interest on the forums in how to do this. So here is a guide.
NOTE: This mod will render the capacitive buttons(hardware buttons) on your Nexus s completely inoperable. Use this mod only if you are using a custom ICS OR JB ROM with navigation bar(on screen buttons) enabled, or some other way to navigate your phone.
First, make sure that you are completely satisfied with the operation of the navigation bar & are certain that you have no need for the capacitive buttons.
DISCLAIMER: This mod involves editing system files. Use at your own risk. This mod will not magically make the navigation bar appear on roms that do not already have it enabled. This mod only disables the capacitive buttons. Instructions on how to disable the backlights for these buttons will be at the bottom of this post.
UPDATE : Just flash these zips.
To disable capacitive keys
http://db.tt/AyJLDkg1
To restore capacitive keys
http://db.tt/PhxFyBb3
And an init.d script for BLD to turn the backlights off (to the best of your BLD supported kernels ability anyway)
http://db.tt/BRpy78Cz
NOTE : Success will vary with BLD according to the capabilities of your chosen kernel. Some kernels are really good with bld responsiveness, others aren't. This has nothing to do with my script. And remember that you can't just choose a kernel based on how well it handles backlight settings. It's gotta run your whole phone too.
For those who want to do it manually.
1; Using Root Explorer (from market) go to system/usr/keylayout.
2; Mount system as r/w.
3; Long press on the file called mtx224_ts_input.kl.
4; Select 'open in text editor'. Scroll down and you will see these 4 lines:
key 158 BACK WAKE
key 139 MENU WAKE
key 217 SEARCH WAKE
key 102 HOME WAKE
5; Delete these 4 lines. Or alternately, just delete the lines for the buttons you want disabled.)
6; Press menu, save & exit. (Root Explorer will automatically create a backup of this file. It will be called mtx224_ts_input.kl.bk)
7; Now, make the same edits to the 4 lines in the file called cypress-touchkey.kl and save & exit.
8; Reboot.
Now you have no capacitive buttons(or only the ones you left intact in step 5 & 7).
Now, the backlights are still working. To disable these, flash a kernel that has backlight dimmer support(BLD) (I use GladOs) and use NStools(from market). Set BLD to on. And delay to 0. Done. No buttons & no backlight.
NOTE: BLN will still work even with BLD on.
To undo this mod you can either restore the original .kl file using the backup that Root Explorer automatically created. Just delete the modified .kl file and rename the .kl.bk file by just removing the .bk from the end of the file name. And reboot.
Alternately, you can just flash your ROM straight over the top. (of course, that means you'll have to flash your kernel & any other mods again too)

Hmm... are you sure you rebooted after making the edits? Which rom are you using. I've tested with AOKP build 27. And cm9 with evilisto's mod and both work fine. Are the button functions still working or just the backlights? If it's just backlights, make sure you set nstools to run on boot. If it's function that's still working, check the edited .kl file and make sure the edit stuck. If you are sure you've folowed to the letter and button 'functions' are still working it may be necessary to make the same edits in cypress-touchkey.kl as well. This wasn't necessary for me but it may be with your rom.

Glad it worked for you, although the cypress touchkey edit really shouldn't have been necessary, since that file only sets the function of those keys, not the status. Which rom are you using, so I can test some more? And thanks for the feedback.

Milestone 4 is basically the same as build 27. Which is what I'm using. I have no problems with bld set to zero. As for disabling the lights, someone would have to write a boot script I think. I have no idea how. So if anyone wants to give this a go.....

This may be related to hardware.. My dad's ns4g has super dim backlights, and mine are insanely bright.. But if we figure out how to disable them there may be a way to maybe bump up the brightness a bit without breaking them haha
I was just reading an article for LEDs hack.apk. Supposedly gives you control on/off for button bl. The dev says nexus s will never be supported because the button bl & screen bl are powered together. If that was the case, bld wouldn't work without affecting the screen. Evilisto made a reference to arrays.xml in framework res. Maybe the answer is here. I don't have a pc so I can't decompile it and have a look. Any takers?

Hi there!
I have a general question about the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition. More precisely I am using a common european Version of the i9505 with Jamals Google Edition ROM. Is there any possibility to disable the softkey lights completely like it is possible in the original Samsung software? I think they don't look really good in the SGS4 and it is annoying me. I couldn't find anything about that on Google so I'm posting it here.
I have been looking as well, but there is nothing that works, all the apps in play store are old. If I get time I'm gonna have a look myself see if I can find the code and turn em off.

Anyone knows where this file is present in case of I9000 Galaxy S ? Because there is no folder called leds.
Sorry if this is old news but I seen a few people asking if you could disable these especially over at the clean Rom thread cause the developer included soft keys in the rom. Anyways again I'm sorry if this is old news but you go to accessibility/access control. It then walks you through a series of steps like if you want certain parts of the screen to not be affected by touch and so on. I thought this was pretty sweet. Not sure if it's for all models and firmware but worth a shot!

It's all the way at the very bottom of Accessibility. It is listed under Recognition. Turn it on. Then hold down the home button and and volume down to enter the wizard.
It should be helpful for when I do note taking at a meeting so I don't have to worry about touching the physical buttons. But for Button Savior Pro it disables the Home, Menu and Back so it's not something I can have on all the time. Plus the notification drawer cannot be interacted with anymore while this mode is on.

I know there's an app on Play that does this but it needs to be re-enabled after every reboot.

You may try with EX Kernel manager, setting brightness on sys/class/leds/button-backlight
I tried quickly, setting to 255 light them up and short time after screen goes off they are lightning off too, when screen goes on they are lightning up again.

How did you get this to work? I can create a sys/class/leds/button-backlight by typing it directly into the user settings but then I can't change its value (stays na). Or I can follow the path to sys/class/leds/button-backlight but then I cannot select it.
