I was just wondering if anyone was having the same issue. I upgraded to CRC's 6.1(Which I love, by the way. Thank you.). When I go to type text all my number and letters work correctly, but the characters are off. For example, I have to press the 2 to get a question mark, when it should be the @ sign. Any suggestions?
Use Advanced Config and change ur keyboard layout
To elabrate a little further....
Settings/System/Advanced Config. go down to keyboard layout, change there. If you're on AT&T change to Cingular. If Advanced Config isn't there, search WIKI Hermes section for keyboard layout. I'm on my PDA right now so I can't give you the exact reg key. This is a very common question, search and you'll find the answer you're looking for
Was this the correct ROM to use for the Cingular 8525? I tried about 3 different regestry tweaks and none of them worked. I looked at another phone and realized that the symbols are in different places than on my phone, and are in the place that my phone thinks they are. i.e on the other phone the @ is on the q, the ? is on the e, but on my phone it's supposed to be the ~ on the q and the @ on the e, but when I press it I get the former. Please help!!
did you try this here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
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)
Thank you very much.

For the life of me, I can't get this to work since upgrading to WM6 (Black Edition 2.0). Whenever sending a text or email, nothing comes up in the To field when typing. I've already tried searching. Any ideas?

A long shot since you come from US... but even though... have you somewhat changed any of these reg entries in order to change your keyboard mapping - in case, change them back to what it was:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
edit: and you have checked 'Suggest words when entering text' under Settings -> Input -> Word Completion ?

Yes, I have. I'll give it a shot.
That did the trick. Thank you very much!
Keyb mapping ok + autocomplete
Thanks!
It works so the only tweak to do is (read from wiki) :
Modification to keyboard hack. The above solution does not work for the Hermes the following new settings are required.
Goto the following registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
The default value of English ROM is 20409, and Chinese ROM is 20404 (both are in hexadecimal).
The suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 (132103 in decimal).
The suitable value for Spanish Hermes keyboard is 2040a (132106 in decimal).
Probably Hermes use 20+country ID (409=WWE, 407=German, 404=Trad. Chinese, etc...) format for keyboard layout value.
Great ROM but I am having an issue with slide-out keyboard layout. The letters themselves all type correctly (both in small and CAPS) but when I use bottom left shift key to access punctuation some of the symbols are in the wrong place.
For Example:
Top row letters are:
QWERTYUIOP
Symbols listed on these keys are:
[email protected]/#123()
Symbols typed actually are:
[email protected]?/#123()
Thus the first 3 key symbols are incorrect in first row, there are 4 incorrect in the second and one in the third. Software keyboard works correctly.
Has anyone else had this problem?
OTHER QUICK UNRELATED QUESTION:
I really like the HTC Today Home Screen with the weather but my city is not listed on drop-down menu list. Is there a way to add a city not on list – on accuweather.com you can add city by zip.

the layout needs to be changed to USA.. load HTCustom 1.5 and change the layout to English or search on here for a 8525 WXML keyboard.cab
Thanx Jakeypoo
I am a bit of a newbee here. Can you give me more spicific instructions including where to find the correct cab file?
install, softreset, bam
No change?
At the risk of being stupid...this is what I did:
Extracted files to desktop
Moved them to a folder in my documents in the 8525 (8 total files)
clicked on setup file
I saw a list of characteristics run
softboot
bam...no change?
no... copy the .cab file to your phone and click on it thru file explorer on the phone and it will install..
Worked!
Thank you so much!
Wow
Says a lot for this site when someone is able to get a rom, and flash their phone without even knowing how to run a .cab file. I am impressed.
Second that one bro. Cab file? well ive never heard of such a thing.
lol for real

I am sure this has been covered somewhere before but I was unable to locate the thread.
I just flashed Pro Black 3.0.1, wonderful rom by the way, and I have found the symbols on the keypad are confused. Is there a fix for this? I still haven't found my question mark.....
Thank you
Steel
Flames for my ignorance are welcome if they point in the right direction...
This is a known bug with the Cingular 8525.
You need to change the keyboard layout in registry: Go to registry editor program and find the key LOCAL MACHINE--->Software---->OEM--->Qwetry. Over there change the keybaord layout key to 40409 (hex value radio button should be selected). Then reboot the phone (turn it off and on) - and you all set.
Or if you have program HTC Custom: go to start>programs>system> htc custom> keyboard> put cingular.
Thank you, that is what I needed.
using att 8525...ROM upgrade seemed to have gone ok, but now my keyboard second row symbols have been remapped.
Example: My "@" symbol over the letter "E" now produces a "?" instead of a "@"
how do I remap my 8525 keyboard?

use Schap's Advanced Config (should be installed) to switch the Keyboard layout to "AT&T/Cingular" or just "Cingular" if its an older version of the program.

Try using Schaps Advanced Config.
You can either search it in the forum or in the FTP.
After you get the cab, before installing it, make sure you have DOT_NET_COMPACT_FRAME_WORK 2.0 or 3.5 installed and then install Schaps Advanced Config.
Dependig on the version you install look for the TAB Miscellaneous or search for Keyboard Settings and change the language to the desired one.
Cheers.
wow, kind of strange...I went into the registry and did the following update:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=263177 (decimal)
then I soft rebooted and everything was fine.
Then I saw the replies to this thread and opened Schap's Advanced Config, expecting it already to be set to "Cingular" based upon my above change to the Registry, but it had the keyborad layout as "Chinese", so I reset it to "Cingular".
I'm happy, but confused.
occasionally the built in keyboard shows me a different than expected keyboard. For example, durring txt messages, it would show the phone keypad "with the 1-9, P, w keys" or it would show the internet one "with .com button". I tryed looking through the registry for it, but its a mess tryn to find the key that was changed. i have the touch input v2.0 (build 35555) on the AT&T rom.
If anyone else has had this problem and knows how to solve it, the help would be amazing.
p.s. on my previous phone, I had the VITO Zoomboard, but i like the way this new keyboard is in how it changes..but not when it changes to something that isn't appropriate for the given event
Did you install the classic word completion or word correction cab? If so,

When enabling Classic Word Correction, Opera users may experience an issue in which the soft keyboard gets stuck in web or numeric mode. To avoid/correct this, click on the web page instead of the address bar before exiting Opera.

I installed the disable xt9 file which changes registry values?
Just now I used the resco registry explorer to extract my reg files and found which keys changed:
=== normal keyboard ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000000
=== web keyboard ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000006
=== numeric keypad ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000006
now I gata find a program which will make an exe or lnk to change that value of the reg
I have the exact same issue. The phone seems to get stuck on the number keypad with the W and P and will not go back to the full qwerty.
Soft resets do nothing to reset keyboard. I did the following edits to get word suggestion:
Go to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\layouts\e001 0409
Edit: Ime File = \Windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
Go to: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
Edit: XT9SupportMSSip= 0
Otherwise I have done no registry edits except removing proxy info for Opera to get it to work on Rogers.
This is most annoying so any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
I have tried using opera page before exiting but it still comes up as a number pad.
Applies to any HTC Touch Input 2.0 keyboard

Thanks for this ... you really helped me save a lot of time!
I find that it will also flip to this input style when trying to add a contact. Once it does this I then have to go and start opera, touch the address bar and the input changes back to qwerty. Then I can exit opera. Its kind of a pain but at least I know of the work around.
thanks for the opera info - I did not install any completion cab, but this did fix my keyboard issue.
I just got this problem today. I have yet to be able to change it back.
I can tell you that this occurred in the Windows Edit Contacts menu (that is to say, go to HTC's "Edit Contacts" and select "More").
At first it gave me a simple numbers and arrow keys only keypad. I soft reset and it changed nothing. I then decided to retrace my steps to try to fix it, so I went back to the edit contacts screen and fiddled around, very shortly it switched to the keyboard as described by the OP. Numeric keys, parenthesis, a 'P' and a 'W', etc... stuff used in phone numbers, I suppose. I haven't been able to get it back to a full keyboard, yet. I've messed around with the keyboard options, switched to and back from other keyboard choices and got nothing.
Anyone else want to investigate this further with us?

Same problem for me, so I did the Opera method.
It definitely originated (for me) in "edit contacts".
I used the stock Opera (9?). I did try to just tap the google search bar with no luck.
Just click on the address bar after you start the browser and it will allow you to switch.
