I unlocked and flashed my T-Mo Dash with the new HTC WM6. I set all the regional stuff to US English, but something's not quite right with the keyboard.
The '@' symbol key creates a kind of cursivy 'L', I believe it's a British Pound symbol, but I'm not 100% sure. The '=' key creates a sort of capital C with a equal sign through the middle of it.
I use the '@' key a lot, and I can get that symbol now with the '&' key (for which there is no longer a key).
I checked currency settings, regional settings, etc -- and it all looks right, maybe I missed something -- or -- maybe I need to find a registry setting for key mapping?
Place the attached text file into your \Windows\ directory.
Thanks -- tried, but can't seem to delete or rename the original. Tried unselecting the 'read-only' status in the file properties, but it wouldn't allow it. My device is application unlocked...
Hmmm...mine is listed as et9.Excalibur.407.kmap.txt instead of et9.Excalibur.409.kmap.txt and I cannot delete or rename or copy over it either.
edit: I should note that I installed the German rom
Ok, here is how I fixed it with mine.
use regedit and go to:
HKLM/Software/Tegic/eT9/IME/KeyboardLayouFiles and change value 07FF to 0409 from the 0407 in there.
Conceivably you can name the map file posted above to anything and change its value in that key.

Glad you worked it out, but that's not what's going on with my device -- I've looked at both .txt files and the one posted by OutPhase has the correct mappings -- just can't use it (yet)...

use TotalCommander or Resco Explorer to overwrite the file during a copy/move

change HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang to 1033 (Dec) 0409 (Hex)
use a reg editor to move the attached file into \Windows
reboot
I've already made the CurLang change in the registry, it 'took', but no change in my keyboard mapping.
I've no idea how to 'use a reg editor to move the attached file'... I'm using the registry editor that comes with Resco File Explorer, see nothing in it for file-move operations -- something I don't ever recall as being part of any registry editor, mobile or PC-based. Thanks for trying though...

I didn't say use the Registry editor to move it. Use the normal Resco Explorer to move it. It'll ask to overwrite the existing file.
Thanks, it worked. Not sure why, but I could copy/move and overwrite it with Resco Explorer, but not rename/delete it. It's all working now, thanks!!!

No, you didn't -- Johnny Lavah said it (as was quoted in my reply). What you said worked -- thanks again.

another solution
There was already an "eT9.Excalibur.0409.text" in windows that was in the UK English version of the keyboard. I renamed the attached US version as below and put that in the windows directory. Then I mapped the registry to it.
I like Outphase's solution better -- no registry edit required, once he explained to just copy the file over it's all good now. Thanks though.

keyboard layout files
Hi all
My device is french, but I'd like to use the German keyboard layout.
I can change the contact search keyboard layout but not the layout that's active when writing messages.
As I understand from the above thread, I need the german layout file, eT9.Excalibur.0407.kmap.txt. Can anyone provide me with that one? I don't see a single reference to it.
Any other hints?
Thank you, Michael
anyone know how to setup the # butting to changes your profile to vibrate and visversa? (worked on the t-mobile wm6 rom)
I miss that one too -- it's actually a part of all TMobile WM ROMs -- kinda handy, would be great to have that back!

Thank you. I tried outphase's solution and it works perfectly. Didn't have to edit the registry at all.

Yeah there must be a registry setting some where that enables it. it's not t-mobile dash phone's only. I got a s621 (Rogers) and it worked with all the t-moble ROMs. hopefully somone will figure it out.
where is the \windows dir and how can i go there?
Hello guys, I want to open a different program with the contactbutton on my today screen. I did this before with a change in te registry, but I cannot find it anymore in WM6. Can anyone help?
i don't know the registry key (if anyone knows please post) but there is an application called SoftkeyChanger
Google for Schap's Advanced config or soft key applet. Bot can change app assignment for soft keys.

Thanks, found the program. I does the trick.
How can I assign the CommManager function to a hardware button?
After installing the latest official WM6 ROM from HTC (version 3.13.404.1 NLD) on the HTC P3300, the CommManager app does not show up in the "Assign to:" list, neither for hardware buttons nor for the Start menu.
Does anyone know how to change this in the registry? Thanks from a noob.
Hi Bas,
You can assign any program to the buttons that is shown in programs. What is shown in programs: The so-called shortcuts which lie in the folder \windows\start menu\programs - for a localized ROM, there is a translated foldername for this, like \windows\startmenü\programme in the german version, you need to look for this in your nld-rom. So first You need to create a shortcut in this folder which points to the application \windows\commmanager.exe . The easiest way is to use SK-Tools which can handle this task automatically.
Regards,
TG.
hello
i have a question
how can i do this directly from registry?
thanks

Hi there!
I'm a beginner cooker and need some help with few things that I can't solve with myself
My ROM is based on WM6.5 build 61222 in Ervius Kitchen 8.0
1. Copying the files in File Explorer doesn't work... First I tap on specific file, then I select "copy", then I want to specific the path in the top left corner, f.g. from IS to maim memory and then it crashes...I don't know what to do
2. Opera9.exe and AlbumSearcher.exe are active all the time in Processes list in dotTask Manager. I have to kill them but after SR they appear again. Isn't it something wrong?
3. After every SR calendar and contacts are poping up... how can I solve it?
4. I want to set the softkeys (I'm not using Manila or Titanium) so I made registry key, but I don't know what is the .exe name for contacts? For sure it's not poutlook.exe because it gives no reaction. So what .exe should I put into the registry file?
Thanks in advice!
REGARDS!
1: use Total Commander
2: there's a registry entry you need to add for opera to exit on closing; google for this one
3: check your init/and-or startup
4: it's actually a link in rai; poutlook -contacts
adwinp thanks for answering, but...
1. Total Commander is an alternative program but I want to fix the problem with builded-in File Explorer. I want my ROM to be free of bugs as much as it's possible.
2. It's not problem with closeing because opera9.exe is there at the beginning, after every SR even if I didn't run it.
3. Don't understand
4.So what am I suppose to add in this registry value?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
@="Contacts"
"Open"="poutlook -contacts"
Is it correct?
Hi all
i like to play with morstcript to personnalize my Rhodium..
to import the lnk of my manila (i use maxmanil with 20 lnk), i use that :
RunWait( "FS_TaskMgr.exe", "\App\Rom\Perso\Kwanice_Manila.reg" )
i add that to be sure there is no pb with htc sense
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense", "Enabled","0")
RedrawToday
and
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense", "Enabled","1")
RedrawToday
but i have always problem.. the shortcut on the home tab are not good...sometime yes sometime no..
can you explain why?
(if i use a .cab with only the registry value, it seems to work fine...)???
thanks for your help
no idea?
When you want to import .reg? you use mortscript? or a .cab file?
Or .xml files?
Since you're relying on a third party app to actually import the reg file maybe the problem isn't Mortscript but the app your script calls. You could always try another registry editor to import the file.
Also I think this can be done using Mortscript alone (with no 3rd party apps). You could try to make a registry import script using just Mortscript (a combination of If, ReadFile/ReadLine, ForEach, Split/Part/Replace, RegWrite and a couple of tricks should do it). reg files are actually text files so if needed you could always change the file it to make it easier for Mortscript to import.

yes good idea
but i have a lot of registry... it's easier to import reg if not i need to write all .reg line one by one...little boring..
or maybe there is another way to do that more simple? (i'm not an expert with mortscript^^)
but thanks for your help
You wouldn't write each registry entry. A script can be done to do all that work: read the reg file, parse each line (root, key/subkey, name/value, type), convert the text to Mortscript syntax and write it to the registry. But it would be a somewhat complex script and would take more time to write than writing 20 reg keys...
