Hi everyone!
Many people out there from all over the world have upgraded their Artemis to Windows Mobile 6, thanks to people who are working hard on cooking nice ROMs for us. These people are used to a specific keyboard layout, many languages are using special characters too.
It would be nice to have a way to change the keyboard layout : something like easy installing CABs or a how to on what to change in the registry, what to remove on the storage, or whatever way to have our own keyboard on theses WWE ROMs.
Is it possible?

Hi Romano2k,
The only thing that i have found was this regkey:
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Windows_Mobile_5_Registry_Tweaks
But afaik does this regkey only work for the 'hard-keyboard' and not for the software-keyboard, so this answer won't help you a lot...
On my P3300 nothing changed with these keys and nothing happend when i changed the keys in 'HKCU\Keyboard Layout' In another forum i found a thread and they are saying you need a third-party software to change the software-keyboard...but for me it's no problem to use the english keyboard...but french keyboards are much stranger (i think french keyboard are the strangest keyboards that exists) and so i can understand your problem
Cheers
Peter
Love your reply's title
I agree with you, the french keyboard is strange, I wish they were only DVORAK keyboards all over the world! But I need my "é" "à" and so on... I'm sure there's a way to change the software keyboard!

As far as I know it's a dll file that you would have to change. Never tried in WM6 to replace it, in WM 2003 it wasn't possible. Resco Keyboard would be an alternative if you don't want to try to change the layout yourself.
ups...
My french isn't that well....long time ago since school
I found a cab for the german keyboard, maybe you will find out more when you take a look inside this cab ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321236

Hi, and first of all, as I said in a previous thread, thanks for this marvelous release !
I'm french and if I can work in english, it is more comfortable for me to use a frech interface So, does someone want to work on a french release ? My contribution can be the translation for all texts you would submit.
Anyone interested ?

Hi,
I agree, I love WM6, english doesn't bother me nevertheless a french version would be cool.
I use lvsw's and it works great with SFR in France (radio 1.35.00.11 catches UMTS nicely, the voicemail icon works etc...)
Can someone estimate the time it would take to cover all files to translate ?
Would be quite interested too. Having to wait for the official release of WM5 (to have a security backup) or even the WM6 French edition (apparently Q2 2007 as for HTC France) is too bothersome
But I think translating everything would be also a pain in the a..please wait 2 seconds for an uncompressed image
I made a small cab which at least change the input settings and spell check into french. The ROM stays in English of course.

Virtual keyboard layout dll
I've seen that virtual keyboard layout is based on two dlls... Does someone have those ?
French Kbd Layout
Hi all,
Cool that this thread leveraged some interest
Based on everyday use of both french and english layout, I think it could be smart to create an hybrid layout, mix of azerty and qwerty, ie :
- Use azerty 1st row accents but invert shift behavior to have digits without shift
- same thing for commonly used characters like @ ' to also get them without shifting (1 click instead of 2)
What do you think ?
Hi!
I've searched through forum and wiki, but it seems that this question always revolves around the Hermes Hardware Keyboard.
I've installed Schaps WWE English 4.30 WM6 ROM, and it works really great, the hardware slide-out keyboard is also in the desired layout (german QWERTZ) for me, and I don't mind the english OS otherwise... except:
The soft keyboard for entering text with the stylus has the english QWERTY layout.
It's not a huge issue, since I prefer typing with the hardware keyboard anyway, but I was just wondering if it was possible to use a german-layout SOFT keyboard on an english ROM, and how that would be done. Is there any way to do it, or is the soft keyboard tied to the OS language version?
(all the references I've found via forum search, wiki and Google seem to all revolve around the hardware, not the software keyboard)
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! Ihave The taxist´s ROM 2.03 on my magician. It´s verygood, only the keyboard+ integrated in it i don´t like, because i need german signs like ä,ö,ü,ß, that are not supported. Does anybody know a soft keyboard (Freeware if possible) with a german layout? Need it badly!

Keyboard for Magician
Thank you so much!!! This keyboard is exactly the tool i´ve been searching for!!
Hi all. I am looking for a Greek Keyboard for the same ROM (2.03.TX WWE). Could you please make any suggestions.
Greek Keyboard
Try this one
Thanks a lot Mister B, the keyboard is working fine.
The keyboard (KbdDe.cab) is fine, BUT it is increadible slow on my magician (WWE 2.03 TX ROM). I've searched the forum for a solution, but most threads are about problems with XT9, i don't think I've installed that. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot...
Problem solved: After a softreset everything is ok.

Which S620 Version?
I'm not sure which S620 version I have -- it is European and has the QWERTY layout, with the symbols for the British Pound, US Dollar, and Euro on the J, K, and L keys respectively.
I have the latest KAVANA WM6.1 ROM installed (GREAT!). However, I believe I mistakenly installed the US English Dash key map, which works great for the letters a-z, but some of the symbols do not match the keys (FN-Q is % instead of !, FN-N is & instead of @, etc.). I'm guessing this is a UK English keyboard, since I bought this S620 from eBay and it has a 220V charger. Anyway, any ideas how I get the map to match all the symbols on my keyboard?
I've done quite a bit of searching different threads on this forum but have not so far been able to find the answer.

It looks to be a UK or British keyboard. The British pounds symbol is on one of the keys. That's a sure sign that it's not a US keyboard.
Any uk keyboard mapping support
hey all, is there a uk keyboard mapping cab file yet?
Check in your \Start Menu\My Tools\Extras
do you have a file called "Excalibur eT9 Changer" if you do....click on it and choose the respective layout you need.
You can pick from:
UK Excalibur KeyMap
USA Excalibur KeyMap
Spanish Excalibur KeyMap
Portuguese Excalibur KeyMap
German Excalibur KeyMap
Italian Excalibur KeyMap
If not i can upload the the files needed.

Which Rom are you using??
Key mapp works
i installed the full mapping cab and all is good now. Also, i have no 'my tools' in the start menu. i installed the kavana 6.1 rom.
When I do a long press-and-hold on the period and comma keys, I don't get a semi-colon or colon... just a period or comma. But when I do alt-period or alt-comma, then I do get the semi-colon and colon. I think these are the only keys this happens on, at least that I've seen so far. Anyone else?
Yes, it's a fairly common thing with the new ROMs. Neither of the t9 fixes will help you with it.
thanks guys worked like a charm
Hello,
I have a Touch Pro 2 with a QWERTY physical keyboard and I have flashed a french ROM to sell my phone because I have upgraded to the HTC Desire.
The problem is that the ROM think my keyboard is in AZERTY.
I know there is some reg change to change it to QWERTY but I want to know if there is a CAB that can do this.
Thanks a million times in advance for the one that can help me.
If You cannot find it, I would propose to convert from .reg to .cab. There are programs out there who can do this for You, although I do not have experience with them. Sorry not even a name, cannot find it. Just do some searching around here.
