                          Recently, I had to re-root my nook simple touch after the stock recovery removed the su binary. Unfortunately, it deleted my settings for remapping my upper left page button to use as a CTRL key. I would love to go back to using the terminal app running an Ubuntu Distro. 

I tried fixing the problem by installing the patched jars needed for nook touch tools. Although, I successfully installed them but when I go to the app to do the remapping the CTRL option no longer exists in the list of options!



I already found my keymap file in this directory

> /system/usr/keylayout/

The file is named **TWL4030_Keypad.kl**






The content of the **TWL4030_Keypad.kl** file is here.
