Kindle and Physical buttons

ewandeep · 07-09-2012, 05:21 AM

I installed Kindle on my rooted Sony prs-T1, but physical buttons do not work (or better menu button works, but not the forward and backward buttons):
Any ideas?

The version of Kindle was 3.2.0.35 (I guess the last working r am i wrong?)

The Wiki suggests remapping the buttons in the keymap.

I haven't tried this myself yet. Let us know how it went!

Thank you
This is the procedure:
Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/ via Root Explorer, remount as R/W and map the keys 105 and 106 to whatever you like by appending the following lines to gpio-keys.kl:
key 105 DPAD_LEFT
key 106 DPAD_RIGHT
(+) T1 Reader, Kindle . (-) T1 Browser, Cool Reader(10xPg)
or
key 105 SPACE SHIFT
key 106 SPACE
or
key 105 VOLUME_DOWN
key 106 VOLUME_UP
(+) Cool Reader, Kindle . (-) T1 Reader, T1 Browser

I guess (+) means: works
(-) means: it does not work

Is it right?

Yes, these are the instructions I was referring to. And yes, I guess that's what (+) and (–) mean; as I said, I haven't tried this myself yet.
