change to keyboard with diferente button positions HELP!!

change to keyboard with diferente button positions
Hello, i'm waiting from ebay an keyboard for qtek 9000(in this case, T-mobile MDA) and it was a qwertz layout.
the question is, if I change the original keyboard to a new keyboard with diferente button positions such as Ok button,video call button and others, will pda recognize the diference and atribute right function to each button?

no i believe it will not.... the keyboard replacement you bought are just button pads... external only and does not contain the board that corresponds to the button press.... this means it will still follow the original keyboard format even if the buttons say otherwise... you could use a software however to remap these buttons to suit your new keyboard layout.

Universal Keyboard
Hi!
I have a Universal with a German keyboard running WM6 in English.
There is no need for any sort of special software to map the keys when you change from German to English. When you load a WWE WM6 your device will automatically have a US QWERTY layout. It will be then up to you to remember your Touch Typing 101 lessons.
It's generally not that bad with letters and numbers--just swap the Y and the Z. Punctuation is harder. When I first got my phone I printed out the keyboard layouts from both a German Vodafone manual and an UK manual and carried them around for reference. After two months I don't even notice anymore.
Good luck,

Hi,
Why are you suggesting that??? It's much easier to fix the registry for the german layout. That's what I have.
1. for the german keyboard on english ROM
2. get a registry editor (like Resco)
3. search the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
4. edit - Layout in decimal to 66567 (from 66569)
5. softreset
(thanks to macznik)

Hardware keyboard incorrect mappings w/ custom roms?

Ever since I've started using custom roms (and even the HTC published WM6 upgrade rom) I've noticed that, when using the slideout keyboard, a ton of the left special character keys dont map correctly to their corresponding screen output.
For example, pressing the special character key and then the dash '-', it corresponds to a " quote on the screen.
Doing the special character key and then the '_' underscore on the keyboard corresponds to a colin ':' on the screen.
I have a cingular 8525 (unlocked). Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

you need the .cab file for cingular keyboard layout, try schaps adv config or htcustom

thanks man, didn't see that option in advanced config until you told me about it

i780 - Switching between Languages

I have installed another language on this device on top of English (based in ROM).
As you know, the hard keys have English letters on them.
I wanted to know what is the key combination to switch the hard keys between English and other languages?
As of now I am using the virtual keyboard only...which is a bummer.
For example in Tytn is was Fn+Space...

Try PqzII and you can define alt & control combinations and map yourself a new keyboard - switching on alt would give you access to what ever you would map to the keys.
What language did you put on? Hebrew? Did you succeed with sending/recieving sms correctly? What language solution did you use? Thanks.
Peace.

In the i780 the function FN+Sapce of TyTn and others is made by the key at right side of Shift, the second one from left on the last line.
Foe example, when i write a A, and pressing it change to Á À Â Ä...

I will try it, but I just don't know what command to execute on this key combinations for changing the language...
I am using hebrew lang, and I can see SMS ok, no interface translation though.
I used Leng Extender for this.
I know that Eyron and PDAC will support this as well.

It should be doing that, but for some reason it does not find the hebrew font I added and does not change to it

keyboard (qwertz/qwerty)problem

Hi. I'd just bought HTC touch pro2 and I believe it's for the german market. It has qwertz keyboard. It was flashed with WWE 6.1 ROM ( as far as I can see it's official ROM not cooked) When I press y key it turns out z, symbol keys are all mixed up... I tried keyboard mapping software, but got messed up... and gave up. I need help...some people on other forums suggested that I can flash it with german ROM, but I don't speak german. Anyway, is there a way to fix it in my present software (except keyboard mapper) or can you tell me what to do...maybe I can try cooked software in english with qwertz keyboard view? If you can reccommend me any... Thank you in advance (sorry for my english)

Anyone, please? In service center they proposed to change the keyboard and to replace it with qwerty but it is very expensive

Ok, I have a German device (So QWERTZ hard keyboard)
I loaded a WM6.5 WWE so English version, that changed my keyboard to QWERTY, so when hitting the Z on my hard keyboard, it showed the Y.
Changing below two keys with a reg editor will make your keyboard back inline. So Z will show Z and Y will show Y, but you can keep your English ROM.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles
"07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt"
HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\
"CurLang"="407" (HEX)
Good Luck

Hello! I've the same problem with a pro2 taken in swiss. i've loaded wm 6.5 and now i've keys z and y inverted and many simbols too. I've tried to change my reg but I can't change the second parameter (Curlang) 'couse reg editor doesn't allow me to do. Any ideas?
Thank you

language switch
hey i have the same problem with switching btw japanese and english i solved it by maping the change input to [ctrl + shift] then typing is the same as on the desktop it is a pain for the touch pro 2 bc there is no ctrl button but i just hit it on the virtual keyboard and then switch

thanks for your reply,
I mapped it just like you said (using Rhodium Keyboard Controller..thank you tarkim for this wonderful app) but did not switch the language...actually it did not do anything...
