what is it???
Can you upload your copy of it.
Software Keyboard (seems fast)
Try FingertouchPRO, the layout is customizable.
The cab resides on www.fingertouchpro.com , just click the big CAB button.
There is a movie showing this toy in action, the speed (if it's real) is incredible!

change to keyboard with diferente button positions
Hello, i'm waiting from ebay an keyboard for qtek 9000(in this case, T-mobile MDA) and it was a qwertz layout.
the question is, if I change the original keyboard to a new keyboard with diferente button positions such as Ok button,video call button and others, will pda recognize the diference and atribute right function to each button?

no i believe it will not.... the keyboard replacement you bought are just button pads... external only and does not contain the board that corresponds to the button press.... this means it will still follow the original keyboard format even if the buttons say otherwise... you could use a software however to remap these buttons to suit your new keyboard layout.
Universal Keyboard
Hi!
I have a Universal with a German keyboard running WM6 in English.
There is no need for any sort of special software to map the keys when you change from German to English. When you load a WWE WM6 your device will automatically have a US QWERTY layout. It will be then up to you to remember your Touch Typing 101 lessons.
It's generally not that bad with letters and numbers--just swap the Y and the Z. Punctuation is harder. When I first got my phone I printed out the keyboard layouts from both a German Vodafone manual and an UK manual and carried them around for reference. After two months I don't even notice anymore.
Good luck,
shrines
Hi,
Why are you suggesting that??? It's much easier to fix the registry for the german layout. That's what I have.
1. for the german keyboard on english ROM
2. get a registry editor (like Resco)
3. search the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
4. edit - Layout in decimal to 66567 (from 66569)
5. softreset
(thanks to macznik)

I have a i780 running a swedish rom. That is full of bugs and I wanna flash it with one of the newer english roms available. But how do I keep my swedish layout on the keyboard after flashing? With the TyTn II I also have it is simple reghack but with the i780 I dont´t know.
Any of you smart people out there knowing how to do that ?

Yeah I now have tried that to but I dont´like the lag it creates - it feels even faster to type "a" and then press the "au" button untill the a changes to "å" or "ä" So I don´t like AE keyboard mapper that much
Hi. I'd just bought HTC touch pro2 and I believe it's for the german market. It has qwertz keyboard. It was flashed with WWE 6.1 ROM ( as far as I can see it's official ROM not cooked) When I press y key it turns out z, symbol keys are all mixed up... I tried keyboard mapping software, but got messed up... and gave up. I need help...some people on other forums suggested that I can flash it with german ROM, but I don't speak german. Anyway, is there a way to fix it in my present software (except keyboard mapper) or can you tell me what to do...maybe I can try cooked software in english with qwertz keyboard view? If you can reccommend me any... Thank you in advance (sorry for my english)
Anyone, please? In service center they proposed to change the keyboard and to replace it with qwerty but it is very expensive
Ok, I have a German device (So QWERTZ hard keyboard)
I loaded a WM6.5 WWE so English version, that changed my keyboard to QWERTY, so when hitting the Z on my hard keyboard, it showed the Y.
Changing below two keys with a reg editor will make your keyboard back inline. So Z will show Z and Y will show Y, but you can keep your English ROM.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles
"07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt"
HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\
"CurLang"="407" (HEX)
Good Luck
Hello! I've the same problem with a pro2 taken in swiss. i've loaded wm 6.5 and now i've keys z and y inverted and many simbols too. I've tried to change my reg but I can't change the second parameter (Curlang) 'couse reg editor doesn't allow me to do. Any ideas?
Thank you
Nothing I found worked for me so I thought I'd share my solution to fix the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 keyboard layout.
The Keyboard and Home Key Fix (T-Mobile TP2).cab being passed around fixed the Alt/Shift and Home Key problems, but it didn't correctly modify the keyboard layout. It modified the following key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"LayoutID"=dword:00000213
"FirstCalibration"=dword:00000001
"CWSLayout"=dword:00000001
"CurLang"=dword:00000409
"3PartyIME"=dword:00000001
"TaskManVKey"=dword:0000002E
"ContMoreVKey"=dword:00000000
"ContLessVKey"=dword:00000000
"CalVKey"=dword:00000000
"DriverName"="KbdNopAll.dll"
In order to get the correct keyboard layout, you also need to modify this key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFiles]
"07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.TMOUS.kmap.txt"
Mine was set to eT9.Rhodium.Cingular_US.kmap.txt. I included a copy of my eT9.Rhodium.TMOUS.kmap.txt in the attached ZIP file in case you don't have it or it was not included in the ROM you're using.
All you need to do it import the REG file, place the TXT file in the Windows directory, and soft reset. That should appropriately set the keyboard layout for the TMO TP2 and fix the Home Key from opening the Start Menu.
I don't know how to make CAB files so if anyone wants to put it all together in a CAB package, I'd appreciate that.
Thank you so much!!! I'll try to put this in a cab friendly version tonight.
This has all Reg edits from the Keyboard AND Home Key FIX.cab + eT9 reg edit with the T-mobile eT9 text file included. (In short everything from the above post, but in a cab) So I take no credit for this cab!!!!
I didn't know there was a problem with my keyboard layout (?)

I agree. I test the buttons of my TP2 after flashing, and they're all normal (no 'problems' with the layout).
Ahh...
But, I did notice you changing something with eT9. Isn't that the predictive text input? If so, I'm guessing this deals with being able to use the hardware keyboard with predictive text turned on (Tilt2 users have complained about not having the Tilt2 format when this is on).
Maybe I never noticed because I never turn on predictive text!

This does not change the et9 functionality. All this does is modify the keyboard layout.
If you flash a stock T-Mobile ROM or a ROM in which the chef has T-Mobile, the layout of your keyboard will probably not need to change.
This is for someone who flashes a non-stock ROM whose chef uses a different carrier than T-Mobile such as AT&T.
The AT&T version of the Rhodium, for example, uses a different keyboard layout than the T-Mobile Rhodium so a ROM cooked to support the AT&T keyboard will have a different layout than a ROM cooked to support the T-Mobile keyboard.

I do flash WWE ROMs (rarely a ROM built with T-Mobile ROMs). For example, I flash ValkyrieROMs, which is made by a chef all the way from Bangladesh, hence a WWE-chef, and he uses various base-ROMs.
My keyboard layout is always good. I'm using the cab attached.

Okay so the WWE keyboard layout is the same as the T-Mobile layout. If you use a ROM by a chef using the AT&T layout, you'll need more than just the Keyboard and Home Key Fix cab.

how do i keep the startbutton?

I am missing something. I am using a ROM with the default of the AT&T keyboard. I have the T-Mobile US device. I have applied the cab file found here and verified manually that the registry edits are there. The text file is in the Windows directory and the phone has been soft reset. My caps and alt keys are correct, but the mapping of the top row is wrong. The ROM that I am using does not have Sense installed. Is there something else that I need to do? Thanks.
I did everything in this thread also and it didn't work. I found this thread forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4371350&postcount=6 and it works great... everything works great...
do anybody knows what keys to press on the physical keyboard to be able to change the input language?
i have Hebrew keyboard as well and i couldn't find any way to change the the language input on physical keyboard.
This is a limitation of the Android OS - you cannot change the language of the physical keyboard that easily - I never found a way to do it, but theoretically it would involve access to the software or a configfile for the text prediction so that it suypplies cues from the physical keyboard to another predictor for another language
Long-press individual keys for alternate letters, and there may be an app for converting the physical keyboard, but it will almost invariably require root. I would also try finding other nationalities who accomplished this and learn from them. -Ara
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
as the mapping using the virtual keyboard of AnySoftKeyboard supports physical keyboard mapping i mange to make it work only when i change the virtual keyboard to Hebrew first and then slide the keyboard out.
this is very inconvenience cos every time i want to change the language i need to close the keyboard and switch to virtual one, change the language and star over.
maybe there is a way to add input option via the power button? like using jkay deluxe or something?
I can tell, how this problem is solved in case of russian layout, but not sure, if it works for hebrew.
Root, then use an app, called Keyboard swither from market.
After that, I installed the special verison of Russian keyboard, that had a layout, compatible with glide.
This version can be downloaded from here
the problem with keyboard switcher is that he just put an icon on desktop.
if i'm using sms app i need to close it to use the switcher, so its not the solution i need.
thanks for the help tough, we need to find a way to make a shortcut via combination of keys
to achieve this, maybe a script for int.d that can apply shortcut function on physical keyboard.

Oops, sorry, i've named the wrong app, its called Keyboard manager (com.ne0fhykLabs.android.utility.kmLauncher).
How it works: it sets 3 types of keyboard for every device status - landscape, portrait, and the slide out one.
So, if you set the apropriate keyboard with a right layout and ability to swith languages via alt+space (like russian keyboard), you can use your HW keyboard with right char set (the software keyboard itself is hidden in this state).

anysoftkeyboard doesnt work for arabic
Thank you for sharing this, this method is great! it works for me with bulgarian keyboard but it doesn't with arabic.
Is there anyway I can use the physical keyboard to type in arabic?
are you on ICS or JB? cos if you are with stcok GB you wont have the arabic fonts.

I'm on ICS, I tried go keyboard with the same method it worked but its showing lots of non Arabic letters, probably Farsi or Urdu I guess, I'm still looking for another keyboard with physical support, I just looked at the language packs of AnySoftKeyboard, they say that they support physical keyboard mapping for Hebrew and Russian and probably other languages but not Arabic
If you know any other keyboards with multi-language physical support please share.
you should try it with anysoftkeyboard anyhow maybe it will work.
unfourtantly i don't know about other keybaord that support mapping of physical keybaord escpasly our right to left languages.
