Help?!?! Please tellme this is a software issue?

[badutahboy]

So I just updated to a custom rom one of my buddies made, and now my soft keys, windows and ok keys, and the send and end buttons on my phone arent' working.. the center stick still works, and all the side buttons work..

I downgraded back to kirvins clean and simple, and still none of these keys work.


Is there anything that would lock the buttons on the face of the phone other than a hardware issue? It just is too coincidental that it happened when I upgraded the AKU... but it's not working with the downgrade either.
