I know XT9 has been a subject of many posts but...
I owe i-mate ultimate 8150. It does have XT9 as default - It's good.
Now...Because I'm polish - I wanted to add polish language to it.
I found the ldb and kdb files and just added them to the registry just like other languages that were already there.Unfortunately the phone doesn't switch to this language.
I modyfied/Added the following keys:
[ H K E Y _ L O C A L _ M A C H I N E \ S o f t w a r e \ T e g i c \ e T 9 \ I M E \ K D b F i l e s ]
" 0 6 1 5 " = " p l h p d . k d b "
[ H K E Y _ L O C A L _ M A C H I N E \ S o f t w a r e \ T e g i c \ e T 9 \ L d b F i l e s ]
" 0 1 1 5 " = " P L l s U N _ x t 9 . l d b "
[ H K E Y _ L O C A L _ M A C H I N E \ S o f t w a r e \ T e g i c \ e T 9 ]
" A v a i l a b l e L a n g u a g e s " = " 0 1 0 9 , 0 1 0 C , 0 1 1 0 , 0 1 0 7 , 0 1 0 A , 0 1 1 6 , 0 1 1 9 , 0 1 1 5 "
Everything just like other instructions on the net say although With 8150's XT9 - the registry for tegic files look a little bit different. - There is no mappings key and kdb files are binary - not text files.
I even tried to just add test Polish lang by copying english ldb and kdb into new (PLIsUN_xt9 and polish) filenames - no joy.
I'm beginning to think that XT9 on i-mate is specifically compiled and can only serve languages included by default.
So I thought I could get the T9 files from somebody else and replace the defaults.
xt9 on i-mate ultimate 8150 is installed from extended rom right after first turn on/restoring to factory settings.
Unfortunetly I couldn't find any cab that would include all necessary files.
So my questions is...Could someone please provide the files of XT9 - for let say HTC phone or maybe ASUS (including eT9ime.dll and impie.dll) as ZIP or CAB?
I know that going this route i'm gonna have to create the keyboard mappings for ultimate 8150 but I'm willing to do that as long as I know Polish ldb and other can work on this platform.
Alternatively - Has any one manged to successfully add non default language to his/hers i-mate ultimate 8150 ?

fuul registry xT9 asus P526 but Polish no
eT9
Thanks.
I made some little progress with this issue.
It's still not what I need but better than nothing.
I have eT9 files from some HTC - so I replaced eT9ime.dll and others what resulted in being able to choose polish language from list of available langs. Could not choose others though .
Polish language worked but only with ldb file for qwerty keyboard so writing on the num pad keyboard was impossible - but hey - eT9 worked .
I had 12 key ldb from the same package I had the qwerty keyboard ldb but this file didn't work - only numbers.
At the moment I'm thinking of installing old T9 taken from asus p525 to check...as xT9 doesn't seem to work.
But hey - If anyone see some fundamental errors in my approach to get xT9 on this i-mate ultimate 8150 or has successfully installed other than default language on it - give me a shout by leaving a note here please .
Hi !
I'm a new french member !
I've got a problem with my Asus P527 and the XT9.
I can't use the T9, it's only typing numbers and I can't use the mode "abc" or "symbols". When I press the "*" touch, it doesn't change anything ...
I asked the Asus hotline, they told me to send them...
Is there any solution ?
I tried to modify the registry base and it doesn't work either ...
Thanks for your replies !...
xT9
If you get just the numbers - you screw something up.
Just do the FACTORY SETTINGS from Settings menu and you should get you xT9 back.
REMEMBER to backup all you apps and contacts before you do that as you will WIPE the device with factory settings program !
Thanks for your answer a.key !
I tried to reset to Factory Settings and right before reseting, the system ask to type "1234" and the t9 worked à that moment (in "abc" mode)!!! ...
But even with the factory settings, I can't use the T9 with SMS, notes, etc...
Do you have any idea of what could make it works?...
Now I can use the T9 in "abc" mode or in "symbols" mode but not in predictive mode ...
I've got another question : Is there any update wm6.1 in french version for the Asus P527 ?...

Let's see if I can recall the build naming convention...
212xx = AKU1, all builds leading up to and including WM 6.5
213xx = MOT motorola
214xx = forget
215xx = SAM samsung
216xx = HTC htc
217xx = COM1, continuing dev of 6.5.0.1 - 6.5.0.40
218xx = COM2, continuing dev of 6.5.0.50
219xx = MD, feature branch (unstable features are added here, backported to 218xx (this tree is based on COM1, so older base os code, but the UX code is newer [user experience])
CE Version 5.2.3860 (I don't believe this is accurate as the os code seems newer than this, it is probably only a bit behind 23004 in reality) - Dated July 7, 2009 - Build 5.2.21921.5.0.40
22xxx = SEMC sony ericsson
2300x = COM3, 6.5.0.60
234xx = COM4 6.5.1
almost all of the oem branches are based off 21234 (iirc SAM was based off an older build than that) - the oem's requested their modifications, and msft did them, incremented build number - some of these trees have stopped receiving modifications already.
For most of you, for the moment, 218xx is the branch to follow (but they might change the number now that COM2 is done as of 21820)
Most of the current focus is on UX as the backend code is mostly at the goal, so we should be seeing some nice changes to the theming api's etc. that will allow us much more modification of the UI (iirc the end goal is complete skinnability and finger friendliness - nothing left over from the old 6.1 interface that used a stylus, essentially)
They might be bandying about the idea of licensing resco keyboard to replace the stock non-finger-friendly keyboard.
Also, an interesting tidbit, any device that has a dpad and IE6 is *required* to have support in the display driver for a mouse pointer, and support in the dpad driver for a mouse pointer, to allow for things like javascript mouseovers that pull drop-down menus

I'd like to assign the two hardware keyboard shortcut keys to letters, specifically ä (a umlaut) and ö (o umlaut), also with the possibility for a Shift+Shortcut macro for uppercase. How would I achieve this?
Unrooted DZ running Android 2.3.3
600 views, zero responses?
Really?
not possible without rooting device
Hi,
Hardware keyboard mapping files are at /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars on the device. I think that those two shortcut keys are KEY 184 and 186 but I'm not sure about that.
But to modify any files under /system you would need to root your device and I'm not sure if it is possible with Android 2.3.3 version without downgrading.
I have my device rooted and I have the same problem as you do. I'll update this thread if I find out how to modify the mapping files to produce ä and ö.
Sami
debugged this a bit further.
seems that my device is using keyboard:
MacBook-Prolatform-tools root# adb shell getprop | grep keyboard
[hw.keyboards.65537.devname]: [curcial-oj]
[hw.keyboards.0.devname]: [vision-keypad-wwe]
[hw.keyboards.65539.devname]: [vision-keypad-wwe]
[hw.keyboards.65542.devname]: [projector-Keypad]
[hw.keyboards.65544.devname]: [h2w headset]
which translates to the fact that my device is using files /system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad-wwe.kl and /system/usr/keychar/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin for hardware keyboard mapping
vision-keypad-wwe.kl is just a text file with key numbers mapped to functions. And on my device ...1 and ...2 shortcut keys are keys 184 and 185 (can check that with ClockworkMod key test)
vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin is a binary file where the keyboard is actually defined. I found a nice tool to dump the contents of those files here github.com/aglasgall/g2-keymap
with the tool I was able to dump my keymap as follows:
# of keys: 58
0 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2 2 2

seems that there is no ä (a umlaut) or ö (o umlaut) defined by default. So in order to replace shortcut 1 and shortcut 2 with ä and ö those need to be added to the binary file first before they can be mapped on .kl file.
Will keep on investigating
Wowww thanks immensely! This will definitely be a worthy reason for rooting. You're a wizard, I hope you find something. I'm not that tech-savvy by a long shot.
I have managed to create vision-keypad-wwe.kl and vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin files that are entirely based on the original ones pulled form the device (HTC Desire Z running Android 2.2) Just changed
:.1 = ä, shift-:.1 = Ä
:.2 = ö, shift-:.2 = Ö.
after pushing them to the device it is working like charm.
rooting the device is not an easy task tough
Sami
and the files attached in zip
Sami
and quick instructions on how to install:
1. your device needs to be rooted so that you can modify /system directory contents
2. get android sdk kit so that you can use adb:
root# adb devices
List of devices attached
SH16JRT03242 device
3. push modified files in place and reboot device
adb push vision-keypad-wwe.kl /system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad-wwe.kl
adb push vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin

You're my new favorite person, thank you <3
Sorry I'm bringing this rather old topic up again, but sketolas HW keyboard remap actually made me root my Desire Z in the first place.
So I have DZ with UK hardware keyboard and I just flashed it with Andromadus 10.1 CGmod 4.2.2. I'd like to now does this fix work on 4.2.2 or how would it be possible to remap those two shortcut keys to ä and ö? And to uppercase with shift.
I checked and the files are different in ICS/JB. They are both textfiles. Could anybody tell me what I have to change in vision-keypad-wwe.kl and vision-keypad-wwe.kcm to map a umlaut and o umlaut with user keys 1 and 2. And to get them uppercase with shift-button. Or is this possible at all?
OK, I got this sorted out.
Edited vision-keypad-wwe.kl and vision-keypad-wwe.kcm. It was pretty easy actually.
So if somebody wants to replace user-def keys in Desire Z hardware keyboard running 4.2.2 with Ä and Ö, push in the attached files and choose default keyboard in settings.
