Thanks for your reply, epeereboom. I did find the ZIP packages to flash, but unless I'm mistaken, all those do is update the thunder_keypad.kl by flashing, whereas I did it manually via adb. Net result should be exactly the same, unless I'm wrong.
As a matter of fact, when I mentioned pushing the stock thunder_keypad.kl to the phone, I got that file from the stock rom ZIP on pg3--just extracted and pushed instead of flashing.
edit: and to clarify, hard buttons (except for the camera and voice search) are working, I just can't seem to get those two to mod (uh, or come back to life...)
Interesting...
Camera should work with the stock keymap assuming your camera apk is functioning properly.
The stock .kl file remaps the voice key but without the sprint voice search apk it doesn't function, nick7 has it somewhere in his public mediafire folders otherwise it's not included in reborn rom (this is why it doesn't work if mapped to voice).
Does the voice button work by default in reborn rom? As in it should pull up your phone apk.
