Small problem-Keypad characters are off...

I was just wondering if anyone was having the same issue. I upgraded to CRC's 6.1(Which I love, by the way. Thank you.). When I go to type text all my number and letters work correctly, but the characters are off. For example, I have to press the 2 to get a question mark, when it should be the @ sign. Any suggestions?

Use Advanced Config and change ur keyboard layout

To elabrate a little further....
Settings/System/Advanced Config. go down to keyboard layout, change there. If you're on AT&T change to Cingular. If Advanced Config isn't there, search WIKI Hermes section for keyboard layout. I'm on my PDA right now so I can't give you the exact reg key. This is a very common question, search and you'll find the answer you're looking for

Was this the correct ROM to use for the Cingular 8525? I tried about 3 different regestry tweaks and none of them worked. I looked at another phone and realized that the symbols are in different places than on my phone, and are in the place that my phone thinks they are. i.e on the other phone the @ is on the q, the ? is on the e, but on my phone it's supposed to be the ~ on the q and the @ on the e, but when I press it I get the former. Please help!!

did you try this here:

Different keyboard layouts for different Hermes versions
Issue: When applying a non-cingular ROM to an 8525 its default keyboard is different than the 8525.
The Fix:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]

Thank you very much.

Question mark (?) on italian TP2 keyboard?

I've noticed question mark on italian keyboard is missing... (see the pic attached) ...but it is on the WWE version...
The italian owners have to use the virtual keyboard for question mark... That's quite weird...
Does anybody know how to remap the TP2 hardware keyboard, to restore the question mark?

up
nobody knows how to remap qwerty keyboard?

Same here..
Same problem here also!
They're really stupid!!!
They could map every key to a special character..
W, R, T, S, D, F, Z, X, C, V are unused!
FN+D could put the question mark!
But no.. STUPID HTC!!!!

I solved by myself.
Solution:
Put the attached file in the Windows folder.
Open a registry editor and go to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouDlls]
Replace the entry containing
eT9.Rhodium.0410.kmap.txt
with
eT9.Rhodium.0410.kmap_new.txt
(basically add "_new" to use the new keyboard file)
power off and on again.
NOW:
FN+D (like "domanda") types "?"
and
FN+T (like "tab") types the tabulation char.
Hope this helps.

THANK you so much!
I'll try as soon as possible!

You're welcome

Thanks, it works !!!!

This trick worked very fine, here!
Thank you!

I've cabbed a new version of this fix and I want to share...
Fn+D is still used for the question mark but I've added also some other unicode symbols...
Just install the cab attached at this post in the DEVICE MEMORY, perform a soft reset and you have done!
After the installation, for exemple, if you type FN+C you can obtain: " ♥ "
There are some other symbols added...
You can also use them for SMSing... just be sure your PRO2 has Unicode enabled:
You can check:
START
ALL PROGRAMS
MESSAGING
MENU
SETTINGS
SMS/MMS
THICK "USE UNICODE..."
NOTE:
If you use the unicode symbols the maximum lenght of the message will be 70 char... if you don't use them the max lenght will still be 160 char as usual
INSTALL THIS CAB ONLY ON HTC TOUCH PRO2 - ITALIAN VERSION

Hi.
I try this solution and FN+T works, but only as text tabulation.
I need the TAB key as "windows function" so to move from one selection to another.
Could you help me please??
Thanks

TAB key missing

Hi all
I've come over from the TP to the TP2 and I'm really missing the TAB key on the keyboard. Used it a bit. Is there anyway to map another key (maybe via FN) to perform the TAB function?

If you are just looking to move your text cursor between fields, the directional arrow buttons will do the job.

I must maybe try that again... I've tried it before but it didn't always work.

Nope it doesn't work... problem is that when I'm in a block that has figures in it it will go forward in the same block instead of going to the next block. Anyone else with same other ideas?

take a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/ChangingKeyboardLayout
edit the file eT9.Rhodium.409.kmap.txt this way:
change this row:
{T T T T T 0x04}
in this row:
{T T T 0x09 0x09 0x04}
save the file as unicode and copy it to windows folder
now for tab key just type FN + T

Think I'm missing something. I've looked at the registry key and it says I'm using: eT9.Rhodium.www.kmap.txt but when I change this file absolutely nothing happens?? Should I still be chaning: eT9.Rhodium.409.kmap.txt although this is not the one according to my registry?

i did this mod time ago, but in my old touch pro the tab key did change between input fields, in touch pro 2 it only add a bounch of spaces (like when in text insertion) and doesn't switch fields...
is there a way to change the behaviour?

Need a Tab Button on touch pro2...
I have the same problem i need a tab button. I read in another thread how they remapped the Fn+t to = the tab but i dont think it is for the touch pro2
when i load the (eT9.Rhodium.www.kmap.txt) file nothing happeans. i did read in the text you have to change it to a unicode file but i couldn't figure out how to do that. Also many people have replied that you can use the arrow keys but as stated by "pieterbotes" if you are in a field for Example "typing in your name" you cannot move to another field for example " your password" with the arrow keys it the same thing on a Pc Keyboard only a tab button will allow you to do that. So if any of the great minds on this site have a answer it would be greatly appricated.
And does anyone agree that fn+q would be better than fn+t since the q is close to where the tab would be?
Thank You.
Duane

Don't know if you're interested, but i've found that Keyboard Config is pretty useful for stuff like this.

Could you please copy and paste here the eT9.Rhodium.409.kmap.txt file content?
This .txt file is located in /Windows folder... check also if it exist another eT9...txt file...
I'm interested notably in this row: {T T T x x 0x04} (what's instead X?)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

it' {T T T 0x09 0x09 0x04}
but i edited it.
in that way you have the tab key but it add spaces and does not change fields..
using the key remapper instead and sendink the keystroke to the os works as expected...

That program works brilliant. Thanks.

TouchFLO 3D Can't change home softkey... bug?

Has anyone been successful with this? No amount of hacking is allowing me to change the soft key for the touchflo 3d home page section...
I have used Advance Config, TouchFlo Detacher and Registry editing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeLSKText = Text on softkey
HomeLSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
My result:
The text changes but the button will not launch program.
Search for a way to have it work leads me to the same result. could it be the version of manila?
my touch pro 2 is sprint version. I read one other forum where a tmobile version could not get this working either with my same result.
any info would be helpful. thanks

I used only the Advance Config
it works fine with me

Since I just cleared my storage (cause I manage to **** up the touch flo and have two settings and no calendar tab), I will try advance config first without touching the registry.

Ok I just realized Advanced Config does not remap the softkey for the TouchFLO 3D shell. It remaps the regular today screen's softkey. Unless I'm doing something wrong, here's what I did.
1. open advance config
2. press menu (right soft key)
3. clicked "more settings"
4. clicked "key mapping"
5. key mapping configuration for path and text shows up, did the changes.
of course since this only remaps the regular screen's softkey, the change does not show on the touch flo 3d home page soft key (where camera is).

I had a similar issue trying to set up TFDetacher and my Sprint TP2. I ended up hard resetting because it was jacked up. I haven't had a chance to try to fix yet.

I had the same issue, but only with the left softkey. Till now I found no solution.

Problem is that (at least on my TMO unit, but I've seen others report the same thing)
HomeLSKText - Changes Text on the left softkey
HomeRSKText - Changes Text on the right softkey
HomeLSKPath - Doesn't appear to do anything!
HomeRSKPath - Changes application launched by LEFT softkey (note - that is NOT a typo!)
i.e - it's easy to change the left softkey on the Manilla home page, but so far I've not found out how to change the right softkey - though I've seen screen caps here that show it changed, so it is clearly possible.
-Steve

On the sprint version there is no fix as of yet you can change the name on the key, but the activation is still contacts, this is with reg edits and programs i have tried.

Keyswop - changes the phone or Lock softkey.... still trying to find something to change the Touchflo 3d Icons so I can attach different movie players and such to the interface though.

yes, that was my other ultimate goal was to make those other touchflo tabs into buttons rather then 'tabs', that opened programs. personally I don't want ANY tabs, and just keep the touchflo on the home page, but disabling the tabs also disable their overlay features (hence loading from quick programs doesn't load the touchflo version like calendars).

Think the answer for remapping the soft keys in Manila TF3d home are as follows (using windows calendar as an example):
Within the registry.
1) HKLM\software\HTC\Manila
Within that folder see if the following string exists and change the value - if it doesn't then create it:
Value Name "HomeLSKArguments "
Value Data "-manila off"
(without the quotes)
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKPath"
Value Data "\windows\calendar.exe"
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKText"
Value Data "Calendar"
(Don't enter the quotes above)
This works for me and remaps the left soft key to open the normal windows calendar program. Also works with Right Soft Key simply by changing LSK to RSK - (got my RSK taking me straight to Comm Manager)
Good luck

thanks for the input. at least now I know the arguments path is probably important. However, it still does not work. same results, text changes, but does not operate. =(

nope did not work 4 me, maybe we can have other sprint users try this out to see if they are successful.Are you sure this is step by step in how you accomplished this?

I think I may have figured it out or at least am on to something...
I remapped my LEFT softkey to open Windows Media Player.
HomeLSKArguments:
HomeLSKPath:
HomeLSKText:Media Player
HomeRSKArguments:
HomeRSKPath:\Windows\wmplayer.exe
HomeRSKText
I have a brand new Sprint TP2.

I believe you figured it out. Arguments is not needed though. -manila off doesn't do anything.
So RSKPath points to left... that's really annoying. I remember reading this somewhere, but it was so ridiculous that I never tried it. LSKPath doesn't do anything though. =( Definitely a bug somewhere

yeah the left key can be re-mapped, its the right key that activates contacts and has yet to be changed.

Ahh bummer. I though I figured something out.
But just to be clear:
Only Sprint customers are having problems with remapping the softkeys, and it's only the right softkey.
The Verizon Touch Pro2 doesn't have to reverse the RSK/LSK paths AND can remap the RSK.
Maybe someone should re-title this as a Sprint only problem?

I've also read some tmoble have this problem too.
just curious, what version of manila do people have? (listed in the same registry location).
mine is 2.1.38416.1 and I am with Sprint.

@ dshosu: idk about tmobile but sprint versions has this issue, verizon's dont.
@ tonefour: i have the same manila version.

Mine is exactly the same, I just got mine yesterday from Sprint (2.1.38416.1)

Touch Input problem

occasionally the built in keyboard shows me a different than expected keyboard. For example, durring txt messages, it would show the phone keypad "with the 1-9, P, w keys" or it would show the internet one "with .com button". I tryed looking through the registry for it, but its a mess tryn to find the key that was changed. i have the touch input v2.0 (build 35555) on the AT&T rom.
If anyone else has had this problem and knows how to solve it, the help would be amazing.
p.s. on my previous phone, I had the VITO Zoomboard, but i like the way this new keyboard is in how it changes..but not when it changes to something that isn't appropriate for the given event

Did you install the classic word completion or word correction cab? If so,

I installed the disable xt9 file which changes registry values?
Just now I used the resco registry explorer to extract my reg files and found which keys changed:
=== normal keyboard ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000000
=== web keyboard ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000006
=== numeric keypad ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000006
now I gata find a program which will make an exe or lnk to change that value of the reg

I have the exact same issue. The phone seems to get stuck on the number keypad with the W and P and will not go back to the full qwerty.
Soft resets do nothing to reset keyboard. I did the following edits to get word suggestion:
Go to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\layouts\e001 0409
Edit: Ime File = \Windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
Go to: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
Edit: XT9SupportMSSip= 0
Otherwise I have done no registry edits except removing proxy info for Opera to get it to work on Rogers.
This is most annoying so any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
I have tried using opera page before exiting but it still comes up as a number pad.

Applies to any HTC Touch Input 2.0 keyboard

Thanks for this ... you really helped me save a lot of time!

I find that it will also flip to this input style when trying to add a contact. Once it does this I then have to go and start opera, touch the address bar and the input changes back to qwerty. Then I can exit opera. Its kind of a pain but at least I know of the work around.

thanks for the opera info - I did not install any completion cab, but this did fix my keyboard issue.

I just got this problem today. I have yet to be able to change it back.
I can tell you that this occurred in the Windows Edit Contacts menu (that is to say, go to HTC's "Edit Contacts" and select "More").
At first it gave me a simple numbers and arrow keys only keypad. I soft reset and it changed nothing. I then decided to retrace my steps to try to fix it, so I went back to the edit contacts screen and fiddled around, very shortly it switched to the keyboard as described by the OP. Numeric keys, parenthesis, a 'P' and a 'W', etc... stuff used in phone numbers, I suppose. I haven't been able to get it back to a full keyboard, yet. I've messed around with the keyboard options, switched to and back from other keyboard choices and got nothing.
Anyone else want to investigate this further with us?

Same problem for me, so I did the Opera method.
It definitely originated (for me) in "edit contacts".
I used the stock Opera (9?). I did try to just tap the google search bar with no luck.
Just click on the address bar after you start the browser and it will allow you to switch.
