8525 Hardware Keyboard messed up after upgrade to HTC WM6

So, I upgraded my 8525 to the standard HTC WM6 ROM. It's all GREAT except that when using the hardware slideout keybard the symbols are not on their assigned keys.
I must have a diferent country layout somehow?
I've tried a few of the reg hacks that are suggested but none seem to work. Anyone have a any great ideas?
Thanks in Advance

Cingular has a different keyboard layout than anyother HTC reseller, if you have Schnaps you can change the config in advanced settings (not sure about other cooked roms) or you can use a cab fix (HTC custom will let you change it to). The cab fix is attached to this post.

That is an unbeleivably fast answer! Thanks a lot ... I'll try it now.
Cheers

bricking your device does void your warranty.
unbelievably fast because most of us read for a few hours before flashing... if you do not know what you're doing you can end up with a 600 dollar paperweight ...and wouldn't 8525 be damn cool paperweight!?
even if you flashed other devices (motherboards, dvd drives, ipod...etc.) but never a pda with a cooked rom, 2 hours spent reading would be a minimal amount of time before flashing ...all mattering on what you read, how fast, and how smart, including mastering the "search feature" ... its up to you to know what you want, how to do it, and not how to destroy your device.
...and isn't the fix for the 8525 keyboard fix on here about a gazillion times?

Closing Thread.
To allow it to depreciate instead of becoming a discussion on not reading or searching..
Question asked & answered

where's the link in using ftouchflo

i found the link of dutty but its all on the links to the different versions of touchflo but i cant find on how to use it.
i'm using schap's 4.20 rom

I think with 71 views people might be struggling to understand what you are asking. Do you want to have another try?
Are you saying you don't know how to use touchflo in Schaps rom?

if you just dont have it try my cab file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1716085&postcount=13
but as far as i know touchflow is already installed on schaps rom so you dont need to install it..

I know its already installed
i know its already installed what I'm asking is how to use it as in activate it.. thanks

Just try one thing for me.
Start a program, any program will do.
While that is running, slide your finger from the left side of the screen to the right.
Does anything happen?
(try it a few times, it takes a few attempts before you get used to touchflo)

the cube is not added yet.
but you can scroll very easy with the fingers instead using scroll bars e.g.

Anyone got a resource list of available cubes?

It was for the task switcher, not the cube.
If the finger scrolling is working, that means you're using touchflo.
If you look at the thread for Schap's ROM there is a picture in the first post that tells you what the default touchflo gestures are (just about the pictures of his personalised cube).
Schap's ROMs rule
*edit* just noticed, I need to change my signature to say Schaps 4.20 ROM

thanx for that perfeck info
i have the same problem is well the TouchFLO is not working but when i filing my finger riht to left screen is changing to side and task maneger is coming

special character keys all off by one after hard reset???

Im using the RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3_1_.57.502.1_6275_1.48.00.00_108-ATT-MR3_Ship.exe WM6 install on my cingular 8525 and all has been well for months.
I was having problems with internal storage space and pie was acting funny so I decided just to do a hard reset and start fresh. All was well except a couple weird things. My E edge icon no longer had the animated arrow syncing thingamabob and more importantly the keyboard works fine but all the special characters seem to be mapped wrong. They are all off by one key (for instance the ! should be the W key but is now the Q key)
What happened? I tried a second hard reset and still the same problem. Im not able to do a computer assisted flash from work at the moment so Im not sure if that will resolve...

You may have to flash the Rom again, which would basically be hard resetting (I'm retarded) or go to a cooked one. If you use schap's make sure you select the Chinese keyboard since you're using cingular. He mixed up the Chinese and Cingular keyboard layouts.

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]
"Layout"=263177 (decimal)
this should fix it.

does the file "sym.0409.txt" in the windows folder exist?

hey thanks for the tips, I'll look for the file and check the reg asap
the thing is that Ive been using this rom for months without any issues. I also just upgraded to the latest official ATT rom and it didnt work either lol
what about the little arrows that animate from the E symbol that I used to have ?
I dont understand why I had these things after first flashing this rom and now they're gone lol

You RULE!!!!

I had a similar problem, and I had to go to the keyboard options, where you choose which keyboard you want to use, and there should be an option for what language you want your keyboard in. Yours is probably set to "English", and it should be set to "Cingular". I can't remember if this is in the default settings menu or if it's in my "advanced configuration" menu provided by my Schaps ROM.
But try it, I think it will fix ya.

question about keyboard layout

i have a cingular 8525 and i installed tnt rom but now the special characters of the hardware keybord are missplased. for example ! should be under letter w but when i press the dot and after the letter w i get @ and some other characters are missplased. does anyone have a solution? i installed something called, 8525 keyboard fix but nothing happend.. thank you

I'm going to answer your Q kinda fast, just don't tell anyone, guys around here don't like answering questions that can be easily found using google.
To the point, You can edit your registry and change it. But the easiest way is installing Schaps Advanced Config. and changing your Keybd. Layout to Cingular/AT&T (or something like that, it's the last option in the list). Current V. of Advanced Config. can be found under the Development subforum.
Good Luck.

thank you very much!

Problem with Honk Kong World-Wide English (WWE): easy install, Courtesy ChunkyMonkey

I installed this ROM referenced above (from here) and i have two questions:
1) is there an add on to allow the network wizard to config for Tmobile (US)?
2) I have some text input problems and I'm wondering if they are because this ROM is for Asia
* in notes and text messaging (maybe other places), the ALT symbols that show up do not correspond with the indicated symbol on the keyboard
* occasionally it reverts to UPPERcase automatically, as if the normal mode was CAPS-LOCK ON.
thanks

Basically mate, don't bother with any of the roms on that thread. When 6.1 first started to appear on hermes there was a rush of separate threads with links to different versions appearing around and about. I just colleted them into a single thread.
It's really old now and probably should be deleted.
The network config app you want is by schap's and you'll find it attached to lots of threads in this and other forums on xda-dev.
The text problems are probably because, although a WWE rom, it's for the Honk Kong market so yes, designed for use in Asia.
There are much better rom options in this forum, so reflashding with a much mofre recent one would be my advice.

which clean and stable ROM would you recommend? touchflo interface would be nice, even if i have to add it later.
thanks

Ah, now there's a question and a half. I use one I cooked but it's got loads of my own stuff cooked into it with paid-for software so I can't give it out.
It's actually based on an older, WM6 ROM (Pandora 6) from matt_kr's kitchen but heavily edited. It's very stable but doesn't have the stuff you'd want. One good way for a noob to to get an idea of which roms are already popular just at a glance is by looking at how long some rom threads become.
