So, I got my Glo set up to flip pages with a hardware button. Thanks Embryo and Jim.
If anyone else is trying, here is how I got it running.
Spoiler
:
The system is very difficult to get R/W access to (for me at least).
I did try to flash the adb unsecure file, but I do not know if it flashed (it did not seem to) or was working. It is on this board somewhere, but i do not think it is necessary, because it did not help directly.
I did get adb working. That is a topic for another thread and has been covered ad nauseum elsewhere.
Then I did the following in terminal.
adb shell
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/root / <-Notice the root hash
#Exit
That worked. Thank you so much Jim McLaren. It is on post #242 of this thread.
So, then I edited /system/usr/keylayout/mxckpd.kl (This could be done thorugh adb, but I was lazy and used es file explorer at that point editing it on the device. Know that this is bad practice and could corrupt the system)
I changed the first line
"Key 90 HOME WAKE"
to
"KEY 90 SEARCH WAKE"
Then, in Mantano I changed the function of the search button.
I rebooted, and presto.
Thanks again everyone.
