I flashed to the htc release wm 6.1 but accidentally did a foreign version. I flashed it again with the US release and it works fine except the symbols E, D, X, W, S, Z, Q, and A are not working correctly. They input a different symbol.
I went to do the keyboard fix...
"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)."
...and the value was already 132105 (20409 in decimal)
I went ahead and changed it to 132104 and then back to 132105 but it is still not working.
Is there such a program that would allow me to easily re-map the keyboard?
Any help is appreciated!
schaps advanced config 2
Thanks!
I ended up just finding this fix a little further down the page...
"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)"
...it works, but now the keyboard will not light up.
Is this an unrelated problem?

No it doesn't fix the problem, any other place in the registry do you know....? Thank you!!
Apologies for jumping onto this thread, seems the best place really.
I've just bought a HTC Hermes, and it has WM 6.1 installed, using it on the Orange UK network.
My only problem is, when pressing ! I get @, and when pressing Y i get Z.
I've ensured all language and keyboard options are set to UK, however I just don't seem to be able to change the keyboard map to full UK, although physically the keyboard is correct, just not the SW side of things.
I was just wondering if someone could help me, if you let me know where I need to look, i'll be able to help you, just not used anything MS based for the past 4 years, so its a bit of a foreign object now.
Thank you,

Hi there,
I'm actually new to Smartphones, and the Tytn / Hermes was going cheaply online (ebay unfortunately), but the phone itself is excellent and is easy to use from back in my windows days.
Most is familiar, but seeing how far Windows can go before I want to switch to Linux.
Where would I get the ACT? Is it downloadable from here as a development tool, or is it online needing payments etc?
Thank you,
greee, u can get it at schaps website here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070&highlight=advanced
galaxys,
I've downloaded the ACT, along with a pocket msn, and neither will install.
Do i need to put them somewhere for it to install correctly? Just i'm only getting access to my memory card.

Both should install on main memory.
Are you getting an error when the don't install?
So far kareem, i'm getting an XML output for the ACT, and for Pocket MSN it reports:
Setup Is Not a valid Pocket PC application.
With the ACT, i've no option to install, although the setup file I have was meant to be a cab file.
Thank you,
Scratch all that, got both PocketMSN and ACT installed today! For some reason the keyboard was in German, so switched that back!
Thanks guys!

May be I am asking this question again, but I have tried to search in the forum and unable to find any help.
Recently got XDA-Orbit, I must score it a decent device. I am stuck to change the soft keyboard, I have tried 2 from BuzzDev but no joy, it is also mentioned under the instructions that "You must be running "nocert" ROM (1.60c and above)". Any advice would be greatfull.

Any ideas anyone?
I'm probably not going to be much use, but there will be a dll in the windows folder on it that has the keyboard pics. The problem is that the file will be signed and if you edit it and expect to replace it you'll need to be able to re-sign it. The windows ppc sdk can help you with this; i haven't changed any myself, so i can't sorry!
Thanks for even write something jdl1306, its seems like no one in this forum has came accros with the issue like this, is it possible?
Thanks anyway

Yea, i did try a keyboard skin which was signed and it worked on my wm5 prophet. So i guess, buzz's or the crossbow KB skin have to be signed in order for them to work
I used the "certification off" program which I found on the website below (near bottom of page), this allowed me to install unsigned keyboard skins to the wifes Prophet.
Maybe it'll work for you, let us know.

This was also discussed on a thread about Happy Tapping Keyboard,

Keyboard Mapping Fixed

Make sure you turn your phone off after this registry edit using the power button, don't use the reset button, and you'll find the keyboard symbols will be mapped OK.

the most easy way I think is d/l a program called HTCustom
Install it, run it, at the keyboard setting, pick "Japanese"
save then soft reset......
works fine
So I tried both of the cab files attached in post #3 and neither of them fixed my issue. Mine seems rather unique. There are about 8 symbols that are out of wack. Here's how my keyboard is mapped right now:
Hardware key: Actual Symbol it brings up:
! ~
@ !
? @
_ ;
- ?
" -
: _
; :
The above was the case before the cab installs, and with either of them installed as well. All other symbols, letters, and numbers are working fine though. Can any experts see what the issue is by looking at the above mapping problems? It's totally over my head. I'm on vp3G's version of LSVW's 3.30.2.1 Rom.
If anyone can figure this out without me having to flash another ROM, I'll buy you a beer.
EDIT: Ok, the formatting of the symbols above did not show up in the post the way I expected. The symbol on the left is the hardware key, and the symbol directly to the right of it is the actual symbol that comes up on the screen when you hit said hardware key. Thanks.

Download this and set keyboard style as needed. i set mine to "cingular" and all my keys work now
Really? I already had this app and tried all that. It does not fix my problem.
Beer is still up for grabs...
it's just your language setting in WM6, set it to "cingular" (if you'r eon Cingular) and it'll go away.
had the same problem for a few weeks until I figured that out.

Like I said in my post #9, I set it to Cingular, reset as prompted, and it DID NOT FIX IT. I tried Japanese too as takaki suggested above. That DID NOT WORK EITHER.
Brewski still up for grabs...
I had the same problem. I just used the HTCustom Tweak to set the keyboard to Cingular and all is fine now.
Hay guys not sure how many people are having this problem.
But this is my problem Dopod 838pro with Windows M6 Black 3.01
From a fresh rom image the symbol pad works, but i noticed as soon as i install blackberry connect, the symbol pad stops working.
So if you guys have BBConnect thats your problem
hopfully there will be a fix for this but iam willing to not deal with it at the moment

I have an HTC Tytn, not an 8525, but I tried your registry tweak anyway. No go

Hi'all !
I'm quite interested in the WM6.1 Rom, but I own a German TMo MDA Mail with a German keyboard layout...I wouldn't mind using the English ROM, just wanna know how to tweak it to the German layout...any idea?
Cheers,

Nobody? if its just sth in the registry, would somebody mind explaining it to me^^
WM6.1 running on german XDA cosmo
Hey,
I've got a german XDA cosmo (= Excalibur), running with the Kavana 080408 WM6.1-ROM.
I am using eT9 (link as found in Kavanas thread: http://movie.99msn.net/kavana/eT9 Full.cab) with the attached keyboard layout (copy to Program Files/eT9).
It's working fine. The only problem, is that the zero key doesn't work in numeric mode. But you can switch to alphabetical mode and type the zero there. I'm also not able to type a TAB, but who needs ;-) Probably it's not hard to fix, the kmap-file structure is very simple.
Good luck ..
... and to minimize the cultural shock you can set your locale to german in "settings" -> "regional settings". This affects time / number -format and currency. Feels a lot more like at home afterwards ;-)
The automatic "Connections Setup" in "Start Menu" -> "Accesoires" does also know the german operators. It has set up cellular data connections for me (works fine), but I haven't tested the MMS setup yet.
Cheers mate! So I just copy the eT9-cab with the kmap into the directory u have given there?
You install the cab, like you do with any other program (copy to the phone, and start it through the phone's file manager).
It installs to the directory I mentioned (the installer creates it). Afterwards you can copy the kmap-file there (overwrite the old). I'm quite sure it just worked afterwards, since I can't remember modifying the registry But you will probably need to reset the Telefon
I've got the keymapping from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2121806&highlight=german+kmap#post2121806
You can also do a search for "german" and "kmap" or "eT9" and "kmap "in the kavana thread.
Maybe you'll have to activate eT9 through Fn + Space in a text field.
Thx Probably was juz too lazy to scan 1700 posts in that thread... But thanks anyways! Another question concerning the 6.1 ROM: I wanted to update to rickywatt's edited ROM, but seem to get an error 270 anytime i try...any idea?
You're too lazy again .. the "search this thread" button does magic
Seems, that others had the problem, too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2154892&postcount=181
So you should make sure to have unlocked first .. (if so, I have no idea)
Haven't tried Ricky's ROM yet, maybe when the wheather gets worse
I'm afraid the ROM is full of blingbling, but slow as hell with little space .. Ricky's feature list scared me so maybe you could report, how you like it to clear my doubts
Well yea it is completely unlocked I am afraid...thats what i saw before already...
I actually dun have time in the moment myself, lots of exams going on but I always take myself time for my lil' excalibur
Does CAP key works with your kmap?
Well no..^^ it did for Kavana's ROM; but somehow for ricky's it doesnt. Quite odd actually.
Oh, and @fruchti, i got rick's OS working...if u overclock the OMAP you gonna be fine. Just disable all the panels u dun need: for me that was myfaves, internet etc...

I was able to solve this issue for Ricky's build. I installed eT9Full.cab, restarted the device and selected German using Fn+Space.
Now it finds "für" "über" and so on. CAP works, too.
Please keep in mind that you have to reboot the device after installing cab. Without rebooting - german settings will not work.
Hope this solve your issue, too.
Really? Thats odd...i installed the et9full also...and the overwrote the old kmap with the edited one...i have the right keymap but CAP still does not work and he only finds "fur" and "uber" as an example, although the xT9 German is activated...
Maybe i should just re-install that completely...mh...
EDIT: Did u insert the new kmap as well?
Ohhh alright, no need for the kmap..thats the thing that seems to cause all the interferences But nice that it works now
After I restart my phone, the CAP error is on again and I have no idea why...the keyboard works apart from the bespoken CAP issue...it also doesnt find "uber" and so on anymore...that really sucks...

I confirm. Trouble comes back after rebooting the device. It's some kind of funny that german T9 is not inside this rom. Maybe the german guys don't cried loud enough in the past ;-).

Yea well that should be cuz the ROM by Kavana isnt actually a WWE yet, and probably only a leaked one from somewhere So either we just wait and see till the official WM6.1 WWE comes out, or Ricky finds a fix for us...so far, we have 3 guys with the problem : RICKY PLEASE HELP US
Me too. The CAP key isn't working so I have to write only with small letters...
Wish a solution for this problem will be available soon. Writing a message without caps are classified as "unfriendly" for a lot of people in Germany.
i'm too
need it for some passwords and business mails
PLEASE fix it
I can't find anyone that has posted one yet, but I have made one for all you that have one and have the screwed alt key! The registry file is attached! It is not a hack at all. Just a registry export that worked!
Enjoy
edit//Cab added to post.
edit2//Also, just an FYI for everyone, the TMO keyboard has the GBP and Euro symbols on the hardware keyboard, it just wasn't put on the key itself. It is the same keys as the HTC version for them. alt+e = euro and alt+r = pound symbol.
edit3//Make sure HLKM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFiles shows et9.rhodium.wwe.txt. Otherwise, the layout will still be messed up.
I think this should get stickied for a few weeks
If necessary. I am sure it will stay alive for a bit since a lot of us have the TMO version.
To be fair though, you get some of the credit. Your suggestion in that other thread is what made me do it. It took me about 1 hour of poking around.
Can any onecab this up for easy install? That would rock, changing values to match though reg editor does not work!
Just use Task Manager to import it. It worked for me.

Well my Rom is stock but I'll be sure to remember this if I flash a new one.
This fixes the alt key, for sure. But what about the shortcuts on the arrows? Those are still incorrect, for me. Is this a separate problem? I assumed it should be related, due to the fact that the shortcuts on the unlocked devices are different than the T-Mobile shortcuts.

what exactly does this fix ?
my ctrl button doesn't function at all but I thought it's due to the PDAC hebrew support I have.
also FN+SYM doesn't ddo anything.
my TP2 is unbranded.

As noted by the thread title, this ONLY applies to the TMO (T-Mobile) US branded TP2. It applies to NO other branded or unbranded TP2 devices. It fixes the keyboard layout changes that were implemented on the TMOUS TP2. The Alt, ctrl, and a few other keys had some changes.
To fix your keyboard, flash back to the original rom, export the same reg key that is in the first post, and then apply that to the newly flashed rom.
Hi There-
Well, I managed to get one of the ROMs to install on the new Tilt 2 from AT&T but I have a small problem. I can't find a cab to fix the keyboard mapping problem. I found one for the tmobile version but no luck fixing the problem. So, I figured I would just flash back to the original ROM and wait for some folks to modify their ROMs to work with the Tilt 2 but now I can't find that either. Am I just not finding it in my searches or is it just not here yet.... any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Titl 2's just started landing in people's hands today. It's going to be a few more days until there is a cab released to fix it.

It's not too bad, its in the format of the regular tp2. number keys on the top row and all that. Kind of nice to have actually,if I can memorize the keys quick enough I might leave it that way
I agree that it is kind of messed up. I bought a t-mo version, and I plan to sim unlock it and use it on att. I freaking LOVE this keyboard! I actually thought about checking eventually at htc part replacement stores to buy a stock keyboard, and physically changing the keyboard when I sell this one one and pick up a tilt2 (only b/c the t-mo can't pick up the att 3g frequencies).
Good luck finding your KB fix!

Dude, the finger keyboard is good enough to last me a few days until one of the wizards on this board comes up with the registry update. I am so happy with this phone so far it's crazy. The improvements to Office alone are awesome.
EDIT:
CONFIRMED TO WORK.
it's usually as simple as a registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\
CWSLayout=1
LayoutID=502
update: scockman found one more key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\Keyboard LayoutFiles
07FF=eT9.Rhodium.Cingular_US.kmap.txt
if that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to play with it more when I actually get around to flashing my Tilt 2
Flash back to original ROM, export the keyboard settings using totalcommander or phm reg, then flash to custom rom, and import keyb settings.
i'm about to attach my .reg files from my stock tilt 2 rom. someone who has flashed their tilt 2 install them then soft reset and let us know what happens. also you might want to backup your HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\ just to be on the safe side.

i'm about to attach my .reg files from my stock tilt 2 rom. someone who has flashed their tilt 2 install them then soft reset and let us know what happens. also you might want to backup your HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\ just to be on the safe side.

it's usually as simple as a registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\
CWSLayout=1
LayoutID=502
if that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to play with it more when I actually get around to flashing my Tilt 2

Woo Hoo!! That fixed my issue, these were missing from the ROM that I was using "EnergyROM".
There is one other registry that everyone may be missing that needs to be set:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayoutFiles
07FF=eT9.Rhodium.Cingular_US.kmap.txt
After these were set I did a reset and everything is working.
Do you mind if i ask how did you get a tilt 2? I checked the att site and it is only showing on the business side called att and they said its not availalbe yet?

I'm an AT&T Dealer and placed an order for 1 and got it. The dealers that order 20-50 won't get their's for a while because there is not enough to go around.
* I'm currently using the energy rom and the keyboard is off somewhat like the original tilt was when it came out. The number keys are off and most of the top row keys as well. Someone suggested to flash back to the original ROM but silly me didn't back it up. I assumed it would be here. I think I'm just a little too much ahead. I will; however, try the registry fix and see if it fixes my problem. Thanks for all of the help guys...
I guess I am a little confused as to "what" actually fixed your layout problem? Did you have to put ALL of those registry entries in or just the ones you added to the message? Anyway someone could put that in a .cab?
thanks!
Tilt2 KB reg edits - mostly good
I can confirm that:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\
CWSLayout=1
LayoutID=502
helps...the OK key and others along bottom row are still not right but at least the FN and Caps are back to normal (using energyRom). an edit of the Cingular_US.txt should help. I'll try that in a bit.
Using Adv Config to set Cingular keyboard doesn't work...had to reg edit to use Cingular_US as indicated above.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\Keyboard LayoutFiles
07FF=eT9.Rhodium.Cingular_US.kmap.txt
I, too, wish i had saved Tilt2 keymap reg before my first flash.
Remember, takes both steps to get Tilt2 KB to 'normal'
Hey guys,
moved ya over to general...
peace,
Josh

Ditto can someone cab it up so I can continue to be lazy. Thanks
fire up Total commander, hit up the plugins --> registry, and then follow the structure to the specified containers. edit or add as needed.
I guess I'm confused because I can't seem to get the registry entries to work properly!

Here are all the relevant entries. Import them into your registry and reset.
Dot fred's registry editor makes it easier to just click and add registry settings.
And while I am at it, I attached the file to make hardSPL easy to run as well.
