Well, if the button change was the main problem, it could have been resolved by just removing the last two lines from the /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl:
Code:
key 105 DPAD_UP
key 106 DPAD_DOWN
The reason I added those was for the CoolReader to be able to accept input from the page turn buttons. If you are OK with swipe-paging in CoolReader, or you don't use CoolReader at all, you can reverse this fix quite easily.
If you are familiar with Linux and vi, you can boot into the recovery mode, log into the serial terminal, mount /dev/mmcblk2p10 on /tmp/system, go to /tmp/system/usr/keylayout directory, and edit this file.
Even easier, and not requiring any Linux knowledge whatsoever: you can remove
sdcard\updates\system\usr folder from my install package after unpacking it,
before running the flash_reader.bat script. This will install the root package without modifying any button functions.
