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!
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

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!

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.

Thanks for this. I needed this tip as well.
Please go easy on the beginners.
It is impossible to find something with keyword search unless you happen to know the exact right keywords (and not some synonyms). I know -- I'm an expert in not finding stuff
you're very welcome
Guys what about software keyborad< original Touch? can we change registry for russian? or insall some cab... I thinnk I tried cab from Dimond 2...but it didn't work
I've changed the sym.0816.txt file and replaced it in \windows!
but somehow I can't type the characters with Fn+Sym key? Am I combining the keys of the keyboard wrong??
I've done it before with Touch Pro with success! It had a physical Sym Key on the HW keyboard and TP2 has a FN+Sym... perhaps that's the problem?!?
thanks
Hi all, I've been digging in xda-developers for some time for a software to input Chinese characters, let it be in SMS, or even composing emails in WWE rom.
So far I learned that Droid can only read but cannot write.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469199 this link here is either dead or no people know the answer.
I even tried the msjh.cab but I don't know how to input in sms.
So I brought this here, maybe anyone can show me something?
do you want to input Chinese by pinyin or strike? also, do you want to input simplified or complicated Chinese? I have a few software like A4, PlumSIP6_1008 for you which are for Chinese simplied.
finally there's reply
I need pinyin simplified input. But so far I haven't see anything that can input Chinese Characters in eg SMS.

is it? I tried HelloNasty's rom before. But XannyTech still the best (personal opinion). Anyway, is there any other ways?
Chinese Input
You should try - CE-Star Standard for WM5/WM6
http://www.mobem.com/products/Personal.php
Various versions available, which include Pinyin, Stroke, Handwriting recognition (which I bought, but don't use).
Has worked perfectly on WM6.1 and WM6.5 Xannytech ROM.
Switching between WM6.5 keyboard and the CE-Star keyboard is a little slow, but works well. Also toggle between CE-Star English mode and pinyin mode sometimes a little irritating. Suggest that once Pinyin Mode is working then switch to WM keyboard for English and not use CE-Star for English.
Chinese Input PS
PS When you install CE-Star it will change your language settings to Chinese, so things like GoogleMaps will start to display all menus in Chinese, Just set Language to English in Regional settings, and everything is back to normal.
Is there a way to WWE type keyboard switch to non WWE?
Since I, only, guess that my keyboard layout is German, could someone confirm if it is German (it could be Sweede, Finland, Denmark...).
Here is pic:
Thank you.
P.S. I think that (after switching about 5 smart-phones, HTCs, Samsungs, QTeks, all with WM) it would be helpful if there could be a section dedicated to keyboard layouts. It would helpful for me...
