[non-root] [CWM] Enabling vibration for soft keys on Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360


A while ago I showed you how to make your menu and back keys vibrate upon touch which works succesfully but unfortunately for users who don't want to root their phone, that wasn't possible as you had to use a root file browsing app and modify a file in the system partition.

A member from xda-developers forums - thewarlord has come up with this idea to make a CWM flashable zip file that gets the job done without all of that hassle on rooting your phone, going through your system partition and modifying a file, and rebooting the phone on top of that. Quite clever.

This little mod replaces your default qwerty.kl file with one that has the changes done into it, and this can be considered universal (should work on any rom) as this file shouldn't really have much difference on various 2.3.6 builds.

Download mod - Click here.

Installation:

  1. Download the above zip file to your sdcard
  2. Boot into CWM Recovery
  3. Go to "install zip from sdcard"
  4. Then select "choose zip from sdcard"
  5. Now locate the softviberatecwm.zip file and select it
  6. Choose Yes when asked to confirm
  7. Wait a few seconds and after it says "install from sdcard complete"
  8. Press the back button to go to the main menu and select "reboot system now"
  9. Enjoy your vibrating soft keys
