These instructions assume that your GL4 is rooted. You need root for this method to work.
First, you need to install a file manager app that works with root. I use Root Explorer. Once you've installed the file manager and it has root:
In the file manager app, find /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_0001_Product_0001.kl
Press on the Vendor_0001_Product_0001.kl folder. Select "open with" and choose a text viewer this time. You will see this at the end of the file:
#key 191 VOLUME_UP
#key 192 PAGE_UP
#key 193 VOLUME_DOWM
#key 194 PAGE_DOWN
key 191 F10
key 192 F11
key 193 F9
key 194 F12
Now press the folder again and select a text editor. Delete the last four lines entirely. You want to get rid of F9-F12. Edit the previous four lines to look like this:
key 191 APP_SWITCH # top left
key 192 PAGE_UP # top right
key 193 BACK # bottom left
key 194 PAGE_DOWN # bottom right
Everything from the # on is unnecessary for the command to work; I left it there to tell you which key controls which button. You can assign the buttons differently if you prefer them to work a different way.
When you are done editing, save your file and reboot. The buttons should work on KOReader (and other similar apps).
Thanks to Renate for finding this for us!
I hope this helps!
Warning!! Doing this will disable the physical buttons for the Nook stock app! The Nook stock reader is set up to look for the F9-F12 keys. If you want the physical buttons to work on the Nook stock app, you'll need an app like Key Mapper. That will allow you to simulate a screen tap with the physical buttons in the Nook stock reader.
