Hello everybody.
My first post here.
I've been trying to find an easy way of typing letters like (á, í, ó, ú, ý and ð) using the qwerty keyboard.
I've found some threads, but what people are saying makes no sense to me. To technical.
So I was wondering, if anyone could help me.
Is it possible to modify the phone to type these letter, without entering the symbols menu. Also I haven't been able to find the letter ð, Ð anywhere on the phone.
Thanks in advance.

Try altering the keymap.
.-ombre-.
WOW, this looks like it is it.
However, in the other thread, it states "just move the file to the windows folder"
Should it replace another file? Is there a sub-folder in the windows folder where it should be?
The thing is, that I have no experience in working with phones in this way.
But thanks so far
hzd
Yes, it will replace the original keymap text file. Not sure if the integrated file browser will let you do that, but copying with ActiveSync or other filebrowsers such as TotalCommander will definately work
.-ombre-.
Ahh... I see... I think
I will try this out.
hzd
OK. I did this, but no change. Do I have to change anything in the regional settings. Language perhaps...
I downloaded the file in the link. Copied it to the phone and used the resco explorer to copy it to the windows folder on my phone. But the keyboard works in the same way still.
Thanks for the help anyway Don't wan't to sound *****y

Hi all
I have a couple of problems with Opera Mobile and I was wondering whether anybody knows a solution. Firstly I can't seem to enable Opera to open more than two tabs at a time, which I find annoying. Secondly, does anybody know how to enable flash from websites within Opera? I did notice that this question had been asked before but that there wasn't an answer. I've installed the Flash 3.1 which was taken from a 207XX build of WM6.1. Should I install the official Flash Lite 3.1 Distributable instead? I understood that this was a stand alone player.
Despite my signature I'm using the HTC TP2 with a stock WWE ROM from HTC Europe.
Cheers

Opera Mobile 9.7 open beta should be out tomorrow (Monday).
If you can, please install it and let us know how tabs & flash work?
I think that's just a rumour. No official confirmation.

To change the number of tabs
From within opera go to
opera:config
select User Prefs
Maximum Tabs - choose your preference
Then scroll down to "Save"
Hope that helps.
to watch flash vids with opera(embedded videos) you need to add text string to axobjects.ini(axobjects). i have done it and it works. you need to go to app data,opera9 and use a text editor and enter this string of text:
go here in file explorer - \Application Data\Opera\axobjects.ini to support flash
CODE:
[Shockwave Flash]
Allow=Url|Embed|Object|Scripts

hmmmmmmmmm very strange as it works with all versions of opera. what text editor did you use. you need to go to app data-opera9 and edit file axobjects with a text editor. enter the text string for shockwave player as is. i usually put it in the middle of all the text. also have you installed dvhaflashlite 3.1 as that one works best

Yes, I found this; it would keep ignoring the setting, or reset it. Eventually my TP2 decided that it would use more tabs, after a few restarts and device resets where I doggedly kept changing the tabs up to 5. Very odd, but persist with it. I had to do this twice (once after a hard reset), it was a struggle each time, and I still have no idea why it eventually fell in line.

Hi ianjd
I found that the answer was to manually edit the opera.ini file in:
\Windows\Opera9\
Find the bit with Max Allowed Tabs.
Cheers

Ah, thanks; that'll be useful the next time disaster strikes!

Hello. I've seen some threads about this, but none has helped me. So, I've a TP2 that came with a French ROM and now I've flashed it with a Portuguese one and it's working just fine. The problem is that the QWERTY keyboard is totaly mixed up, because the layout as been changed.
Assuming that it is not possible to change the hardware (if it is please tell me how!!!!!!), how can I modify the layout back to the original one???
Hope someone can help me and feel free to use this thread for the same kind of questions!
There is an easy way to fix it. You can do exactly as I did. Reflash the stock rom. Open a registry editor and export this folder
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
Then flash the rom you want and import that folder and you will be good.

So, changing the hardware keyboard is not possible, or is it?
By the way, if someone could get the folder for me, someone that has the French version, i wouldn't have to reflash the stock rom would I?
Is it is possible i would try to find someone that could get it for me...

I just don't see why you would go through the hassle. It takes 30 minutes to flash the stock, get the stuff, and flash back. It will take much more time to find manuals, wait for parts, etc to swap the hardware keyboard.
Yes, if you had someone else that can export that part of the registry, you would be good.

Quite true... I only thought about it because I'm so used with the QWERTY. But probably it's better just change the layout. Thank you for your help!!!
No problem!
I made the changes needed and it worked, by changing:
- HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
CurLang = 1036
- HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
Active = 0000040c
But there is still something wrong, like when I press:
FN + A... it should appears the "à" but it doesn't
FN + Z... should be "è"
FN + R... should be "é"
FN + S... should be "ê"
FN + D... should be "ô"
FN + F... should be "ù"
I think this are the only ones that doesn't work right... does anybody knows how to fix it?
Is there a way to add more program shortcut tabs on the new ROM home screen? I have looked through the threads and have not found any thing I would recognize along this line. If I didn't look far enough or just missed what I was looking for please kind and help with a link or directions.
Thanks.

If you are using Co0kie's Home Tab, from the home screen, tap Menu > CHT Editor > Quicklink settings. In there, you can change the grid layout to show more links per page as well as increasing the number of pages up to five.
I'm using the ROM update from htc.

Update to .NET Compact Framework 3.5.
Make sure to install to device and not storage card. You'll then need to restart, if it doesn't ask you to do so, and force it to use 3.5 over 2.0. Use a registry editor and navigate to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Then change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.
For a decent registry editor that can be used from the PC side, check out CERegEditor if you don't already have an editor of choice.
Hi all!
After searching the wide web of the world I didn't find anyone who cared to program the special characters for nordic keyboards (æ,ø and å). The norwegian stock ROM has got these mapped to own keys, but I've never liked to use stock ROMs, so I was stuck with the "long press method".
New! Now Spanish is also supported!
If you screw up your phone trying to adb push, cp -f these files I'm not responsible yada yada yada (nothing wrong should happend, really)
What I've done is taking the modified files from teferi, and added my own editing for the quick keys (as I had to make place for the chars I removed from jkl) and the special chars of course.
Confirmed on my G2 (running the Sense ROM from MoDaCo), but should work for the Desire Z too! Any guinea pigs out there?
Code:
*Norwegian*
version 0.3:
-Fixed issue with , and ; didn't work on hardware keyboard.
version 0.2:
Quick change to the "Z" button, since "`" is used in command substitutions.
-alt-z is still "^", alt-shift-z = "`"
version 0.1:
-alt+j,k,l = æ,ø,å (alt+shift gives capitol letter).
- make ".com" a TAB key, as it ought to be
- left softkey is now "\" "|" "/"
- right softkeys are now "[" "(" "<" and "]" ")" ">"
- alt-z is now "^"
Code:
*Spanish version*
Version 0.2
-Corrected filenames for the new files, and included the right "originals".
Version 0.1
[Key] - [Shift + key] - [FN + key] - [Shift + FN + key]
a - A - ! - á
e - E - 3 - é
i - I - 8 - í
o - O - 9 - ó
u - U - 7 - ú
n - N - = - ñ
? - ¿ - " - ¡
. - < - : - >
INSRUCTIONS:
*Add -wwe after "keypad" in the filename for both files if your running a Desire Z based ROM. CM and G2-based will work without -wwe*
- download file
- unzip *.zip
- adb push vision-keypad.kl /sdcard/
- adb push vision-keypad.kcm.bin /sdcard/
- adb shell
- su (if you don't have ro.secure turned off)
- mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
- cp -f /sdcard/vision-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/
- cp -f /sdcard/vision-keypad.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/
- reboot
Btw... backup of original keymapping is included... just rename them without .orig, and follow the procedure above
Code:
Guide to make your own keys:
Download a hex editor (i prefer xvi32), open the "kcm.bin", and alter the symbols shown in the attached .jpg. If you wish to alter the "main" char of the key, you can change that in the .kl file with notepad (check the difference between esp and nor to see an example).
Thanks to teferi for the base files

I can make files for other special characters if someone wants that... or you could simply HEX-edit the files yourself

Great work! But, since I'm not Norwegian, I'm not going to try it
However, I'd love to see a modification of the original English Desire Z Sense keymap with just a few modifications.
Here's a picture of the Desire Z keyboard
http://www.theunwired.net/media/news/htc_desire_z_front_open.jpg
1) Getting á, é, í, ó and ú by Shift + FN + a, e, i, o, u (I think it's Shift + Alt in the G2 keyboard). Currently I have to long press the vowel key and then touching the screen. Not efficient.
2) Getting ¿ by using Shift + ? , and maybe ¡ by pressing Shift + FN + ?.
Would it be possible?
If you need the original files or whatever, just tell me
Thank you in advance.
I would need to get the original desire z keymapping files as I've just the g2... they are a little different with the non-letter keys.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Here it is
I've just uploaded a file with the two directories, keychars and keylayout.
I think it's interesting that there are several kcm.bin files and several kl files, for different languages, but I don't know how to select them.
Thank you again.
Actually... You can't keep both ! and "á" at the "A" key.... or at least you can't get the "á" capitol that way...
It would then be a, A, !, á available on that key.
Do you want me to remove the !, or...
I don't mind having to long press A to get the Á, I don't use it that often
cool. this is useful for me. I don't got the Nordic version so thanks

I would like to state that these files /system/keymap/* and /system/kaychar/* might be affecting the capacitive buttons belove the screen also. This will not brick anyone's phone (probably ) but will make it hard to do anything unless fixed.
What I understand:
everyone should use only the files that are meant for their specific DZ version and modify that.
I.E. G2 files on Scandinavian DZ renders capacitive buttons useless. And if u dont have adb access nearby it can be hard to do anything
Novek, I hadn't seen your private message. I already answered and I'm willing to try your alternative files
By the way, does anybody know why there is a lot of different files in /system/usr/keychars and keylayout? I mean, there's a vision-keypad.kcm.bin and a vision-keypad-esn.kcm.bin.
It would seem that the esn file could be useful for us Spanish speakers, but I don't know how to use it.
Hi Novek.
Thanks a lot for the Spanish version, but I'm afraid I'm doing something wrong.
I substituted the original files for the ones you have uploaded (I tried both doing it via Root Explorer and following your guide using adb) and when I press Shift + FN + N I still get = instead of ñ. The same with the rest of the keys.
I think I've read somewhere that the Desire Z uses the vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin and vision-keypad-wwe.kl file instead of the ones without wwe, could that be it?
I would assume that you can just rename the files I posted...
/edit
If it works after renaming to wwe, I'll change the uploaded files..
I'll also re-do the norwegian keymapping with the DZ-files tomorrow - removing the files for G2 now.

Takk veldig mye!
I just renamed the files and it worked. Thank you very much
Edit 1. Mmm.. it worked at first, but now when I use Shift+FN+key I get Á, É, Í... instead of á, é, í.
Edit 2. Nevermind... I get the capitalized version when the autocorrection kicks in, at the begining of a sentence

Hi again, Novek! Just noticed that my SYM key is now working like a shortcut key When I press it, I get the "Keyboard shortcuts: Would you like to assign a shortcut to the hardware keys?" screen.
Could you make another version with this fixed? Thank you in advance

In the first posting, it pretty much is a step-by-step guide. Is there any particular part that's confusing you ? Don't be afraid to ask specific questions about things. It's not dumb to ask questions, it's dumb to just try something when you don't understand what you're doing and it could mess up your phone !
Yes, as far as I know this should work with the original ROM.
It's not really clear for me, how can I make my own layout?
So which file included "which key is which letter" table, and how can i edit it?
