You can try to duplicate the file sym.0409.txt in the windows folder and name this new file sym.0407.txt. It worked for me for the french keyboard (sym.040C.txt in french).
What Atmis said, I simply modified the sym.0409.txt file in /Windows so I easily could type Swedish characters such as å,ä & ö with a/o + space. You need to copy it over to your computer with active sync, edit the file then move it back.

Already tried to copy the origional sym.409.txt to sym.407.txt (german) but when i press the "blue" space nothing happens.
You need to replace the sym.0409.txt file if your OS is in English.

Having Hermes with QWERTZ keyboard (switzerland) and English WM6 (Vanilla)
That's interesting. I had the same issues when upgrading my device to AKU 3.3. After some changing forward backward between English and German Keyboard it suddenly worked.
I also upgraded a second device and I cannot get the space key working to change between the special letters.
I know it does not help but maybe it's an device bug. I will downgrade the device the other device when I can get it back again and see if it works with the original image.
It was working flawlessly for me, I just had to reboot the device after creating the new file.

... After HardReset, installing the "German Input Cab", modifiying sym.0409.txt and a reboot everything is working fine...
Probably some manipulation described in the wiki i made before installing the cab made the changes...
finally it works. thanks to all
Ehm. I am not trying to sound stupid or anything. but how do I find this"sym.409.txt"? I would like to change some of the keys into norwegian symbols like æ, ø and å.
I have just heard something about the root folder.
But in that case. where is it, I assume that I am just being blind or something but.
THanks for your help

Not blind, the file is hidden, at least on my system with Josh Manulla2D.
To see the file in Windows, using File Explorer, click on "Menu/Show All Files".
My problem is that I have made changes for my German keyboard on an English language install, but I cannot replace the file in \Windows. All I get is an Access Denied message.
Anybody know how I can get past this to replace the sym.409.txt file?
Task Manager is installed so surely it must be some service that needs killing to free up the file.
Regards
Peter
Not sure what's the issue.

I unlocked and flashed my T-Mo Dash with the new HTC WM6. I set all the regional stuff to US English, but something's not quite right with the keyboard.
The '@' symbol key creates a kind of cursivy 'L', I believe it's a British Pound symbol, but I'm not 100% sure. The '=' key creates a sort of capital C with a equal sign through the middle of it.
I use the '@' key a lot, and I can get that symbol now with the '&' key (for which there is no longer a key).
I checked currency settings, regional settings, etc -- and it all looks right, maybe I missed something -- or -- maybe I need to find a registry setting for key mapping?
Place the attached text file into your \Windows\ directory.
Thanks -- tried, but can't seem to delete or rename the original. Tried unselecting the 'read-only' status in the file properties, but it wouldn't allow it. My device is application unlocked...
Hmmm...mine is listed as et9.Excalibur.407.kmap.txt instead of et9.Excalibur.409.kmap.txt and I cannot delete or rename or copy over it either.
edit: I should note that I installed the German rom
Ok, here is how I fixed it with mine.
use regedit and go to:
HKLM/Software/Tegic/eT9/IME/KeyboardLayouFiles and change value 07FF to 0409 from the 0407 in there.
Conceivably you can name the map file posted above to anything and change its value in that key.
GL,
J
Glad you worked it out, but that's not what's going on with my device -- I've looked at both .txt files and the one posted by OutPhase has the correct mappings -- just can't use it (yet)...

I've already made the CurLang change in the registry, it 'took', but no change in my keyboard mapping.
I've no idea how to 'use a reg editor to move the attached file'... I'm using the registry editor that comes with Resco File Explorer, see nothing in it for file-move operations -- something I don't ever recall as being part of any registry editor, mobile or PC-based. Thanks for trying though...

I didn't say use the Registry editor to move it. Use the normal Resco Explorer to move it. It'll ask to overwrite the existing file.
Thanks, it worked. Not sure why, but I could copy/move and overwrite it with Resco Explorer, but not rename/delete it. It's all working now, thanks!!!

another solution
There was already an "eT9.Excalibur.0409.text" in windows that was in the UK English version of the keyboard. I renamed the attached US version as below and put that in the windows directory. Then I mapped the registry to it.
I like Outphase's solution better -- no registry edit required, once he explained to just copy the file over it's all good now. Thanks though.

keyboard layout files
Hi all
My device is french, but I'd like to use the German keyboard layout.
I can change the contact search keyboard layout but not the layout that's active when writing messages.
As I understand from the above thread, I need the german layout file, eT9.Excalibur.0407.kmap.txt. Can anyone provide me with that one? I don't see a single reference to it.
Any other hints?
Thank you, Michael
anyone know how to setup the # butting to changes your profile to vibrate and visversa? (worked on the t-mobile wm6 rom)
I miss that one too -- it's actually a part of all TMobile WM ROMs -- kinda handy, would be great to have that back!

Yeah there must be a registry setting some where that enables it. it's not t-mobile dash phone's only. I got a s621 (Rogers) and it worked with all the t-moble ROMs. hopefully somone will figure it out.
where is the \windows dir and how can i go there?
How in heck do you import reg keys?
I thought, just transport them over and execute them.
I keep getting an error. "The specified file is not a Registry script"
And i somewhat did a search....brought up to many threads, none with a specific title as this issue.
Is there a reg hack to enable reg importing??

You just copy and execute them.
Incase they are not working, before you copy to your phone - right clik reg key and click edit type this in the first line of the registry key (in other words, it should be the first line):
REGEDIT4
save it, copy it to your phone and execute them. See if that works.
If it still does not work, open Resco Explorer and execute the file and hopefully that should work.
Good Luck !
All the above has been tried.

Wierd.
What are you trying to do? Can you ellaborate, please?
I've never had a problem in importing registry keys.
It depends on the format of the registry key. You can't use normal Windows desktop format if I recall. The file must have a .reg extension (sure you checked that). Can you post a snippet of what your key format looks like?
The key must look something like this (exported from Reg Editor):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Import my old reg keys for links.

lol, i just recently got finished messing with my reg files because they weren't importing correctly. from what i can see from your registry snippet, and what fixed it for me was that i used mobileregistryeditor to export my keys, and it didn't add double \\, so it would import WindowsExplorer.exe instead of windows\explorer.exe. It was only once i exported with resco and compared the two that i noticed the missing extra \ in the exported files.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\ CAppointments]
"ICONPATHS"="\windows\cal_s.png;\windows\cal_s.png "
"LocName"="Appointments"
vs.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\ CAppointments]
"ICONPATHS"="\\windows\\cal_s.png;\\windows\\cal_s.png "
"LocName"="Appointments"
I used the same program.
I think i will be using resco to export them from now on.
Thanks, had the same problem, this works well
Solved my problem, thanks to both of you.

thats really weird
I have encountered another problem. I made the ervius package and had the initflashes.txt. I did everything but when I start the phone, the only shortcut I can find is in the startmenu -> Programs and thats one of the places where I wanted it,but, I also want it in the startmenu and its not coming there. I think its not working because u can only put 7 items and I dont know how to remove one item and plug in my software shortcut..
HELP ME OUT!!!
hello,
you write "... initflashes.txt" --> i think, you mean your own packeges/programs.
have a look to OEM_Lang_0xxx-folder. you find there a file "initflashes.dat"
edit this file without wordwrap. this is the file, where the folder-structur will generate and some registries for one time ... and the startmenu.

It will, however, not give you the full TAB funcionality. If you're used to using the TAB key for jumping from one field to another this doesn't work.

If you are using the english keyboard layout, you can edit the file eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt in the windows directory to map one of the keys to TAB.
I have attached a copy that maps "fn + T" to "Tab" if that's all you are looking for. Just copy it to a folder in your TP2 and use resco/total commander to copy it to your windows directory.
P.S: If you are going to edit it further, remember to save it as unicode or else your keyboard will not function correctly. To revert back to the original keyboard settings, just delete the file from the windows directory and it'll revert back to the original file that came with the ROM.
The up/down arrow keys send you from one field to the next
I use PQzII (http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQzII.htm) to map "Ctrl + Q" to "Tab", I also installed HookMgr from (http://www.mobiion.com/)

Go to HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFiles and look at what file is registry key "07FF" is pointing to. That's the file that is currently being used to define the mapping rules. Copy it out to your pc and amend it using notepad and save it as a unicode txt file.
There are instructions in the txt file itself - you can amend the mapping of other keys if you desire.
