M001 owners! (and others may want to experiment)

Some folks have had trouble with scrolling on their tablets. Having used 5 of these first-hand, I know there is some variation between the devices with respect to the touchscreens. Three of the ones I;ve used have been responsive and very usable. Another was less responsive to the touch...and the fifth could really only be used with firm application of a stylus. Fingers were just too hard. It didn't respond, didn't respond....and then decided it was a long-press.  

So if you've been having troubles scrolling your dirt-cheap, low-spec (but awesome) wee tablet.....

Hot off the presses from Slatedroid.com. Root access required, I'd say, so best be running ECOTOX firmware or perhaps Vestinious: 


How to modify Volume buttons to scroll buttons

I managed to remap the volume buttons "+" and "-" on the tablet to scroll buttons.
you need to edit the files english.us.kl and qwerty.kl found in /system/usr/keylayout folder.

Open each of the 2 files and replace:
"key 115 VOLUME_UP" with "key 115 DPAD_UP"
"key 114 VOLUME_DOWN" with "key 114 DPAD_DOWN"

Save the files and restart the tablet! That's it!
