Keyboard - please help on Scandinavian settings

Hep. Have been looking around the forum to find a way to change the keyboard layout (Hardware), to Danish.
I simply cant make it work. I have the Live 0.2 rom, and have tried the reg. editing as written in the forum..but no go.
Can someone please give a guide to which rom that I can use if I want a Danish Keyboard - or can someone do anything about the Keyboard issues. (Make some kind of a cab or??) I cannot do it myself, but would really be thankfull.
And - great thing with all this rom biz. I know nothing about it - but loves to jazz up my phone...hehehe

I dont know??

I'm using LVSW version and somehow every softreset reverts \oem\qwerty registry back to uk mapping, manual edit and/or nordic keymapping.cab is useless, it have to be something with LVSW version, because xda live was working with nordic cab...

I have tried to change the registry, but i does not seem to do anything for me. I wonder if the settings somehow can be extracted from wm5?

Look at this post Norwegian Keyboard on WM 6?, it has the cab file for the keyboard attached, this is used for all nordic tytn.

I've just installed xdalive keyboard fix cab-> softreset -> nordic keymap cab -> softreset and now the mapping is correct!

I am wondering the same thing, have tried to search the forum with no luck

are there some who got the xdalive keyboard fix cab and nordic keymap cab?

when you guys find all the solutions to the mapping add them to the wiki, or pm me the list of fixes all nice and neat and i will put them on there

This works on XDA-Live & Black (at least)
Here's the one I use and it works on most of them anyways. Remember to soft reset afterwards.

Whenever I flash a new ROM or do a hard reset I just change the following ONE registry setting.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
"Layout"=132116
Why not make a fix_my_qwerty_mapping.reg file and save this on your storage card, content like this (I have no idea how to make a .cab file, but this works fine for me):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty\]
"Layout"=dword:20414
This is the Norwegian settings, but it doesn't matter for Finnish, Swedish and Danish users - it's all the same mapping. I got a TyTN/Herm 200 and for all I know this could be firmware dependent.
The number "132116" is decimal and found by:
20+countrycode, country code for Norway: 0414. That will be 20414. Converting this hex to dec gives 132116.
(When using the .reg file it writes in hex and therefore 20414, but you can manually enter the number directly into the register using hex if you like.)
Country codes:

Remember to power down/up after applying this registry change - not just a stylus soft reset.

You have of course searched, found og tried:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
"Layout"="132116"
So then I dont know....

after running the cab file in this forum my h button is now a + when i am in contackts searching for a person?

Hi fellow Scandinavians.
Try these attached files.
They work perfectly in both WM5 and WM6.
Both should be installed on the device at the same time.

thx Torben schould i do a reset first now that the other things are ****ed up?
and how will i get the æøå maped to a key?

Edit the registry so you keyboard language will reflect your system language:
Goto the following registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
The default value of English ROM is 20409, and Chinese ROM is 20404 (both are in hexadecimal).
The suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 (132103 in decimal).
The suitable value for Spanish Hermes keyboard is 2040a (132106 in decimal).
Probably Hermes use 20+country ID (409=WWE, 407=German, 404=Trad. Chinese, etc...) format for keyboard layout value.
After changing these settings soft reset the device to make it work.
If you are using Cingular device there should be a CAB floating around, use search.

i tried to search...i used the cingular wap settings but didn't find another cingular cab...if you can post it here...it would be greatly appreciated...

i just tried changing the registry...to the english one...it doesn't work?

I am using Google to find what needed on this site. If you use good search query you will get better results than with integrated search (and usually it is faster too ).

A lot of it may be that we have read a lot of posts and happen to remember which thread it was in, however, I just did a search to see if I could find it.
"Cingular keyboard fix cab" is what I used. It was the third post down. When looking for a file, just click the little paperclip and it will show all the available files in that thread.
Much easier than reading 400 posts.
Enjoy the forum

I downloaded this path but i am not sure what to do with them after extracting them. I am new to upgrading my hermes. I am running Schap's 4.31 rom. I am trying to get my keyboard to operate correctly. I tried a few of the ways above and have failed.

You can use
1) advanced config to set the keyboard language
2) DONT extract the cab, just copy it to your phone, then click on it in file explorer, it will install then.

I entered 40409 in "Decimal" and it worked after a soft reset.
Previously I entered 20409 and it did not.
Edit: I have some buttons which still do not work.

Layout Keyboard

Hi Guys, i have a question...
If i flash my WM5 TyTN (Ita) to a WM6 English Version how can i do to have a right KeyBoard layout?
Thx

dont worry about the keyboard layout too much. just READ the forums and you will see that there are keyboard fixes for all of the known layout issues. some like the ROMs from Custel even allow you to change the layout through a built in application in the setting.

well thx for the answer... I search and i found not so much just: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313814&highlight=keyboard+layout+fix
Is it the right way or does exist a .cab file?

Just install Shadowmites HTCustom1.5
It allows you to choose different kb layouts.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1271619
It does sound like you need to do some more reading though.

well there is always something to learn
Thx a Lot

Well on this file you told me to download there are a lot of intrestin language but NO ITALIAN

I'm sorry ops
I 'll see if I can find something.

Will this help:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
Under the Heading:
"Restore local language support for sliding keyboard after upgrade to a different language ROM"

a program called "HTCustom" would help

You can install an additional german softkeyboard.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305811
(it's the standard german softkeyboard)
Hint: You have to install SIPchange before installing the softkeyboard!

Yes indeed !
Edit:
Any solution to that??

I too have this problem, or at least something similar.
I flashed to Davideuk's V2 Topaz rom. After installing I found the new keyboard worked in both keypad and qwerty with t9 support However today I discovered that t9 no longer works and the keypad only types numbers, even with the letters showing and regardless of t9 or ABC selected. This evening I'll probably re-flash the rom and go through my settings and apps, checking 1 at a time to see what breaks it... unless someone knows of a fix already?

No need to flash new ROM. If you have HD Tweak installed scroll down to T9 Mode and disable it. Your keyboard should be totally operational again!

Funnily enough I already tried that, but I must have forgotten to soft reset because after trying again (thanks to your advice) and resetting it worked. And my t9 works too Many thanks!
