Hi
I have O2 Orbit flashed with the new O2 WM6 and have set in setting to be UK but the keyboard only shows $ instead of £ I think the whole keyboard maybe US how can I get it to UK keyboard.
Its stuck that way I'm afraid. As far as I'm aware there is only 1 keyboard layout which is made for world wide english (WWE) users. The pound sign can be found with the rest of the symbols, pain in the arse I know but thats the Yanks for you
Use pocketCM keyboard, it is the best. Make your own layout, even I did. Just look in development and hacking, you'll find it.

i just installed english rom. everything in english now but the keyboard of MDA PRO is in german design. when i press FN + a key it is writing another word.
is there a way to assign the keyborad to german style and use the rom in english ?
You could buy my MDA Pro casing with UK keyboard pattern:

Or I could supply an XDA Exec UK keyboard pattern seperatley buy it may look out of place :-(

Beloved sig. Perhaps Richard,
you forgets that I have not received nothing, perhaps she forgets that only it can ask the reimbursement from the mail, perhaps she believes that people are stupid not to understand when a person brails up, paypal ask only a copy for the receipt, she originates them to it ALWAYS remain and HOWEVER to the person whom she sends like valid test. It sure will be called to show the test of happened shipment, in court and I will demonstrate that it is denying my right to me to having a reimbursement for the goods never received.
It is calm, I am already obtaining the better thing, to make to see that dishonest and strafottente person is she. In court I will have other satisfactions.
I add:
it must have shame with this behavior with the customers.
I honestly did not understand the ansers I saw until now.
I use a German origin with an english rom, change
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Querty to Value 66567 and You are back to Gerrman KB.

thanks for the helpful info. could you please inform in MDA PRO wm5 where can i find that registry file ? with which software can i find that file ?
Hi fuhayer,
this is not a file, but a registry entry. You will need a registry-editor.
I use Resco Explorer for this purpose, but it is not free-ware. Search around here or google a little to find a registry-editor for your pda if You do not have one.
Good luck

By any chance, is it somebody who can help me with the value for the Italian Keyboard?
Tank you anyway!
re-locate buttons to itself
install this file and SR then
Does anybody know a way to install T9 or the newer version from the Dash on the S620? I really like the word-completion feature of my other smartphones and PPC's.
Thanks!
we'll probably have to wait until someone extracts the extrom of the dash rom
Careful what you wish for
why did you buy the S620 if it is to put T9 on it?
The only benefit of this smartphone is the full qwerty keyboard, it sounds a bit strange to want to restrict yourself to the numeric pad to type your messages?
It's actually the newer xT9, you're not restriced to the numeric keys -- it predicts as you're typing words with the qwerty keyboard. Future versions might be more useful, but I find it more of a hinderance now. There's no way to configure it or edit the dictionary, it kicks in when you don't necessarily want it to and memorizes passwords, as well as showing them while you're entering them. Where ever the dictionary resides, mine is full of typos and passwords. Would be nice if you could uninstall or just shut it off. You can press ALT then SPACE and switch to just letter entry, but at some point it'll come back...

I understand that T9 is directed more towards standard phone keyboards, but I use it on my Hermes all the time. When typing a long email, the word completion can save time.
T9 dictionary edit
I am super annoyed by wrong words being added to the T9 dictionary!
I tried using the msT9Ed.exe, but it seems to not find the correct file.
I did find a file called "eT9Cdb.cdb" in the Windows folder, but don't know if this is the right thing to edit.
Anyone found something lately to edit the T9 dictionary?
newer xT9

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?
vive le france
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!
Vive LA France
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

And for us in Greece?
Hi all,
Is there any way to change the keybord to contain Greek characters???
I have upgraded to 1.33 ROM but my keyboard has now lost £ sign.
All my searches seem to pop-up US folk wanting their keyboard corrected to US, but I have not found correction to UK keyboard.
anyone know how to do it ? I tried UK cab from 6.1 Kavangh but this does not work as it sets the numeric pad on permanently.
thx
Thanks to HKBoySiR for this fix:
This .cab fixes the keyboard problems for the english language version of WM 6.1

I've just put together a cab file that replicates the original T-Mobile Dash's keyboard. No oddities so far. Hope this fixes some of the stranger keyboard issues.

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
