The page turn buttons (hardware buttons) on my Leaf 2 turn pages for NeoReader and some other apps, such as Moon Reader. However, these buttons do not turn pages on a couple of other apps. I'd like to remap the buttons so that they will do so. Key Mapper does not detect the hardware buttons. Some of you have been working on a similar thing with other Onyx devices. My Leaf 2 is not rooted. Do I need root to do this remapping? If not, how could I go about it?

If I need root, the next question becomes how to get root. The Leaf 2 is rather new, so Boox does not have firmware updates posted on their site for it yet. There's the edl route, but I'd need to find a loader for this CPU. I haven't found any so far. I'm not familiar with any other method that might work on my Leaf 2. Any suggestions?

One more question! When the Leaf 2 formats a microSD card, it doesn't give the option of formatting it as additional internal storage. The only option is portable storage. Portable will work for storing books but not as storage space for installed apps. This isn't really important to me. It's more of a nice-to-have thing. This is one way of saying that I don't feel the need to go through a convoluted process to make this happen. However, if it could be done without lots of hassle, I'd be interested in finding out how.
