Change keyboard mapping

Hello, i will receive in few days an MDA Pro.
I'm French, and first, i will flash the device with a WWE ROM.
But after, when it will be available, i think i'm going to flash it with a French ROM.
My question is: how remap the physical keyboard ?
I think the keyboard will be a QWERTZ mapping.
But if i flash with a WWE ROM or a French ROM, the physical keyboard will not be mapped correctly.
I've seen the tip for the Qtek 9090 (i'm a 9090 Owner), it was a key in the registry to modify, and it was ok.
but, what is the procedure for the HTC Universal ?
Thanks a lot !!!

ok i've found the answer myself, sorry for the mistake...

@deathknight - please share your knowledge, i want to do the same!
best regards, lutz

Brazilian Portuguese Keyboard
Anyone know what's the registry code for Brazilian Keyboard? Portuguese will to too. Thanks.

Spanish keyboard
And the registry for the Spanish layout?
Let's see if we can resuscitate this threat.
Would be a good idea to post the diferent registry settings for the different languajes.

how did you fix this?

I found it somewhere in the net (may be buzz developers)
Spanish layout code:
Registry\LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Qwerty
And the value should be: 68617
Now I only have access to my UNI. Somewhere in my desktop I have codes for other layouts too; I'll post them when I find them again.

I have the same keyboard also but don't know how to go to Reg Edit mode. Please advise.

Use TotalCommander. It is an file explorer with an good registry editor.

keyboard layout
I just upgraded my qtek 9100 to AKU 2.3 but the slide-out keyboard that I have is in Swedish. I tried to make the changes suggested at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Changing_Device_Language
but that didn’t work. Has anyone been successful in changing the keyboard language?

I was not able to do it also. Can someone help?
Thanks

It just needs a hard reset
I kept on trying at this and finally after changing the value to 0414 and doing a hard reset by using the stylus in the hole it worked. I went back and tried the 041d and it too worked so I guess the reset was what was needed. Also there is a Swedish keyboard fix circulating but don't use it since it will only work for Ext_ROM ver. 1.3.7.103. Hope this helps someone else!

Can you advise how I can go to the following step?
For German layout (QWERTZ):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0407 (REG_SZ string)
Thank you in advance.

you need a registry editor
First of all you need to download and install a utility that will allow you to access the registry. There are a number of good freeware applications that will let you do this. Unlike regular windows there is nowhere you can type regedit. I use Total Commander and it can be downloaded from
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
Once you have access to the registry (in total commander you click on the folder named “\\” ) click on registry -- >HKC-- > ControlPanel -- > Keybd . Once under Keybd create a key called Locle . In Total Commander this is done by double clicking on “+Add Value+” Set the name to Locale and select String. Click Ok and then when the value box pops up enter the LCID Hex number like 0407. If you need to change the number highlight the key and click properties.
Don’t forget to reset the machine by pressing the stylus into the reset hole.
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for the elaborate procedure. I followed every step you wrote and locale = 0407 was sucessfully entered. After reset, the keyboard still did not change to German! I tried many times but the result was the same. Did I do any thing wrong? Many thanks.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Qwerty\Layout
Change from Ger Z: 66567 to 66569 (eng Y)
Good luck

I am sucessful!
Thank you very much. I got it now!! :lol:

Swedes key layout on Windows Mobile "XDA Live" 0.10?

hello, can eney body pleas explain to my how i setup so i get Swedes key layout on my t-Bord agen? eney reg key i need to Chang?.
i haw tested
Go to hklm/software/oem/qwerty/layout/
make sure the hex value is 20409, you probably have 40409.
recommended of crosswind
but it don't help when I'm trying to get Å i get noting, when i try Ö i get arrow down and when i try Ä i get =
im using Windows Mobile "XDA Live" 0.10

@Kinky:
20409 gives you the default US layout. If you want Swedish layout you have to set the value 20414 (hex) for this parameter. This is effective at startup so a soft or Russian reset is required. Russian reset is better as it guarantees that the registry changes have been saved to Flash disk.

Hello. Is this trick for software keyboard or hardware keyboard? I would like to get the norwegian keyboard, but no luck so far.

@BrumBrum74:
20414 is a Nordic QWERTY layout, i.e. the hardware keyboard layout for Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. It contains the characters 'å', 'ä', 'æ', 'ø' and 'ö'.

isnt there a file called P_Nordic_keyboard in extended rom for that? and to use swedish in software keyboard you use skandinavisktastatur5.cab. You can DL here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1150091&postcount=97
There is norwegian softkeyboard in skandinavisktastatur5.cab to.

I have installed the cab file on my norweigian Tytn, and it works perfectly with Windows Mobile "XDA Live" 0.10.

What program do you use to change the values?

looking for qwerty layout string value

hi all , I own a HERM 100 and now with the upgrade to my language (ITA) the qwerty layout is wrong
someone with my same hardware and WWE ROM can help me looking in HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty\Layout wich value is there ?
thankx in advance

It should be 410, if I'm not wrong
bye

thanks the same but I'm worry you are wrong , it must be a 6 number value

Isn't it 20+country code, which is 410 for ITA.
That is 20410, decimal for ITA, and in hex: 132112

I've used on my Jasjar 1040
You can try with this value.

The default WWE is 20409, or 132105 in hex.
After entering do a power cycle rather than a stylus soft reset.

thank you dude , is perfect now

If you're talking about hardware keyboard, look at the Hermes Wiki or install Advanced Configuration Tool by Schaps.

Is this corectly i must only change the registry to use German Hardware Keyboard nomore files needed
Great Thanks
Restore local language support for sliding keyboard after upgrade to a different language ROM
This has been reported not to work, see below for another hack
You need to create Registry value of name "Locale" and type of "String" and data of "Localization ID" within
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
Localization IDs:
German = 0407

no. you have to read carefully the wiki. you will see there that you have to create it in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
the name of the key is Layout
the value (hex) of the key is 20407
do a soft reset via switching the device off (long button press of the on/off button) as it keeps your changes. otherwise you will loose your changes.

Thanks that works fine

this CAB does the registry entry for a german keyboard and installs the file (\windows\sym.0409.txt) for the german umlauts (that you get ä first and not á when you switch via dot + space)

Vielen Dank

Hello,
i've installed the rom HTC HERMES_CE OS 5.2.19949 Build 19949.1.2.0. and your tool doesn't work with this rom. Do you know what I can do to have the german Umlaute (äöü)?
Thanks a lot.
Greetz.

edit the file \windows\sym.0409.txt yourself. it is very easy.
have a look into it and you will see what i mean.

Goto the following registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
The suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 (132103 in decimal). =qwertz

Thanks for the posts. I installed the rom, then I installed the tool of stan23. I looked into the registry and the value is 20407. When I want to use the hardware keyboard I can't write a "ä, ö, ü" not even an "á". I can't understand it.

check the following:
- is the file sym.0409.txt still there (maybe you have deleted it?) and have a look into it.
- is the value of the reg.key 20407 HEX
- when typing: make sure you press "a" then "dot-key" then "space-bar".
if this does not work, hard-reset.
if this does not work, try a different rom
