Change keyboard mapping

Hello, i will receive in few days an MDA Pro.
I'm French, and first, i will flash the device with a WWE ROM.
But after, when it will be available, i think i'm going to flash it with a French ROM.
My question is: how remap the physical keyboard ?
I think the keyboard will be a QWERTZ mapping.
But if i flash with a WWE ROM or a French ROM, the physical keyboard will not be mapped correctly.
I've seen the tip for the Qtek 9090 (i'm a 9090 Owner), it was a key in the registry to modify, and it was ok.
but, what is the procedure for the HTC Universal ?
Thanks a lot !!!

ok i've found the answer myself, sorry for the mistake...

@deathknight - please share your knowledge, i want to do the same!
best regards, lutz

Brazilian Portuguese Keyboard
Anyone know what's the registry code for Brazilian Keyboard? Portuguese will to too. Thanks.

Spanish keyboard
And the registry for the Spanish layout?
Let's see if we can resuscitate this threat.
Would be a good idea to post the diferent registry settings for the different languajes.

how did you fix this?

I found it somewhere in the net (may be buzz developers)
Spanish layout code:
Registry\LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Qwerty
And the value should be: 68617
Now I only have access to my UNI. Somewhere in my desktop I have codes for other layouts too; I'll post them when I find them again.

On My universal with WM6 Rom, sym key and word completion no more works.
My sym.txt is ok and was working before.
My Keyboard is map to French Azerty and I put french dictionnary (.lex) in windows directory .
Is there something to do on registry for sym key and word completion ? WM6 no more suggest me words

I ported rom from kaiser to vario and now I have exactly the same problem - word completition is enabled and doesn't work and sym key on my hardware keyoard does nothing - still nobody found the solution?

check sym.0409.txt (or other codepage)
that works..

I tried sym.0409.txt, sym.0405.txt and sym.txt but no success - sym file is ok, I used it on WM6 ROM without any problems

Sounds like one of the Vanila Roms. Find out what ROM your using. Its possible the rom being used has it removed (Vanilla ROM).

If you're talking about hardware keyboard, look at the Hermes Wiki or install Advanced Configuration Tool by Schaps.

Is this corectly i must only change the registry to use German Hardware Keyboard nomore files needed
Great Thanks
Restore local language support for sliding keyboard after upgrade to a different language ROM
This has been reported not to work, see below for another hack
You need to create Registry value of name "Locale" and type of "String" and data of "Localization ID" within
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
Localization IDs:
German = 0407

no. you have to read carefully the wiki. you will see there that you have to create it in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
the name of the key is Layout
the value (hex) of the key is 20407
do a soft reset via switching the device off (long button press of the on/off button) as it keeps your changes. otherwise you will loose your changes.

Thanks that works fine

this CAB does the registry entry for a german keyboard and installs the file (\windows\sym.0409.txt) for the german umlauts (that you get ä first and not á when you switch via dot + space)

Vielen Dank

Hello,
i've installed the rom HTC HERMES_CE OS 5.2.19949 Build 19949.1.2.0. and your tool doesn't work with this rom. Do you know what I can do to have the german Umlaute (äöü)?
Thanks a lot.
Greetz.

edit the file \windows\sym.0409.txt yourself. it is very easy.
have a look into it and you will see what i mean.

Goto the following registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
The suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 (132103 in decimal). =qwertz

Thanks for the posts. I installed the rom, then I installed the tool of stan23. I looked into the registry and the value is 20407. When I want to use the hardware keyboard I can't write a "ä, ö, ü" not even an "á". I can't understand it.

check the following:
- is the file sym.0409.txt still there (maybe you have deleted it?) and have a look into it.
- is the value of the reg.key 20407 HEX
- when typing: make sure you press "a" then "dot-key" then "space-bar".
if this does not work, hard-reset.
if this does not work, try a different rom

CAPS not working on language rather than ENGLISH
I installed the Karvana ROM, and the eT9 full cab. Works all but the CAPS in foreign languages (rather than ENGLISH)
I am Having the CAPS problem too using the PORTUGUESE layout.
BUT, the CAPS works just fine in the ENGLISH language... with the ENGLISH keyboard layout. I tryied to replace the Porgtuguese layout with the ENGLISH, but it seems this is not a "virtual" key map issue. (CAPS still not works).
It appears to be other configuration thing... maybe any other WINDOWS registry conf? any ideas?

I have an idea... use Rickwyatt´s... Portuguese layout works great. It only needs to change 6 bytes of an TXT file. If you want i may post it here. As far as i know, Ricky´s rom is the only one that works great with portuguese (brazilian) layout. I´ve decided to give up Kavana´s because i was almost going nuts with all the keyboard issues.

yes there is.
Guide yourself to the \windows folder, find the file "eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap"
Drag it to your desktop.
Open it with Notepad.
replace existing with this:
Code:
{0xBC , ; [B];[/B] 0xff} // 0xBC = VK_COMMA
{0xBE . : [B]:[/B] 0xff} // 0xBE = VK_PERIOD
, towards the bottom.
Before saving it, you might have to check the properties of the file and remove the read-only attribute.
Then save and transfer it back to your phone.
Reboot

Just insalled kavana rom, and et9 full, caps don't work! No one knows a solution?
I use German layout-->QWERTZ
All is perfect except that
------
update---> reinstalling it solved (firt time on storage, second time on device... maybe is this)

How to get Samsung i780 Keyboard Qwerty to Azerty driver ?

Hello all,
i have read through a lot in the forum and have alerady flashed and tweaked a lot my i780 with my readings of your Forum. (after doing the same for my TyTNII !))
Bravo to all BTW.
I have a French i780 with an AZERTY keyboard.
I have flashed with the DXHC4 PDA & Phone ROM found here. Since then I have a QWERTY keyboard when the physical keyboard is AZERTY
I have tried the registry edition in order to modify the keyboard mapping to 040C code in the 3 locations described in the different posts without success as it rendres inactive the keyboard.
I tried the different combinations etc...
Here are the exact lines :
in hkey_current_user\keyboard layout\preload string default e0010409 changed to e001040c
\\\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\Active to 0000040c
Is there an issue with a dll or someting in addition ?
Also, I do use RealVGA in 96dpi with an English pack as the french pack is trashing the i780
Any idea is more than welcome !

Hello the i780 specialists ?
Any Idea what registry key to update ? or which driver ?
do you think a cab like the one for the Kayser can be compiled ?
Thanks

While youre on it, please get us the key for Swedish keyb as well
I flashed with the english ROM as well, and....

I am pretty sure there must be a way and it would be great to know the right registry location - would like to change mine over to QUERTZ as I am having an English rom with a German keyboard...
And ideas anyone?
Thanks
Alex

Yes it work but i creates a very irritating keybaord lag when using the keys that is mapped with AE keyboardmapper.

Yep, I have seen this tutorial, but I must admit that I am not at all interested in the software emulation. I 'd rather wait for a proper OS / registry / hw solution

No news guys ???

First of all, I'm no export in this and want to apologize for my english, cause I'm german.
Me too wants to change the keyboard layout as I have an english rom with qwerty and want to get back my german qwertz-layout.
As far as I've found out there is an registry entry under "HKLM/Hardware/DEVICEMAP/KEYBD/DriverName" which with my device maps to a dll named "zylonite_keypad_us.dll"
This file seems to be located in the ROM. I couldn't copy it for editing. Maybe someone can develop an idea how to deal with this.

Do you have an I780?
If yes, which of these mentioned steps did you do?
This is not yet working for me. At the Moment the hardware keyboard doesn't work at all...
Edit: So, keyboard is working again. But "z" and "y" are still "swapped". So still not the German- QWERTZ

Same here, ive got an azerty i780, but this tip does'nt work for me

It doesn't work at all
The keyboard is rendered NON active by modifiying these reg keys / strings ...

When I change the settings like that thread, my keyboard stopped working
I use the code: 041d for Swedish.
Mind helping out what I need to do? I followed the instructions from that page but the keyboard just stopped working, the hardware keyb that is.

In my humble opinion the problem is that when we change the registry keys we are telling windows to use a different dll that simply is not there, and so the keyboard becomes inactive. The solution is that someone with a German WM6 gets the german dll and shares it with us.
Regards,
Luís

Before flashing my azerty orange fr i780, i saved HKLM sytem tree, and the dll is the same.
The only difference in HKLM tree is :
\\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\Active
040c for azerty french
0409 for US
But doesn't work on my device

Or a Swedish ROM since there are a few of us that would need the swedish dll then

I still got the German phone and intend to upgrade to UK ROM. What dll exactly do you guys need?

dll is : zylonite_keypad_Us.dll
But totalcommander refuses to copy the file

Do you have a registry editor on yout I780?
Then look at: HKLM/Hardware/DEVICEMAP/KEYBD/DriverName
There should be a .dll listed.
I guess thats the one we need. But I fear, as webise said, that you can't copy this file from your windows folder. As far as I've seen this file is in ROM.
