Schap's 3.30c on AT&T 8525 keyboard Problem

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

But whats a cab file, and you want me to put that where?!?

Softkey Remap not possibly!

Dear Forum,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond. Successfuly Flashed to: 1.93.407.1 GER
Everything works fine, just the 2 Softkys on home are phone for the left and programs for the right.
I have tried to change with different Programs, also in registry, but in registry there are no values for the keys. So I would have the contacts on the left and com manager on the right.
Anyone could help me please to change the remaps?
I have tried almost all, the search have shown me, but without success!
Please help

Try SSmaPA

I Installed the program, but have no idea, how to change the softkey settings... How this will work?

I think SSmaPA is not intended for that. I use it to remap the tabs of HTC Home Touch Flo (for example, i prefer to open IExplore instead of Opera, when licking on Browser tab)
To do waht you want search the forum for a thread named somithing like : "manila teaks" or similar
You have to work on registry: HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila ... and then writing what you want for HomeLSKPath, HomeLSKText, HomeRSKPath and HomeRSKText
You find it on that thread. Good luck

set the path to link to the comm and contacts shortcuts in your start menu. Device/Windows/Start menu/... something like that.

keyboard thread...

I was wondering if there had been a thread dedicated towards various keyboards or not.. so I thought I would start one. I've read a few things spread out about keyboards but nothing dedicated.
on that note: is someone who is capable of creating a keyboard, much like the iphone style (keys spaced out, not cramped together for people with fat fingers [like myself] and fewer buttons) be willing make one for all of us to benefit...?
thanks!

I have had the PCM keyboard (v0.14) installed, but it messed up the default HTC keyboard. Still don't know how or why that happened.
Turned out I liked the HTC better, so deleted all other keyboards I had
Still waiting for a Swype-like keyboard to try.
Grtz,
Thijs

you could try the resco keyboard. It is great... apart from it having no comma and period on the first page, making it still very slow to work with for me.

that swype looks great
i like the Yota keyboard, looks ideal for people with sausage hands like me

I'll have to give those a try, it seems there are too many buttons on the reg qwerty pad.
next question, how do I change it?

Yep, but that Yota keyboard hasn't been extracted yet.
Hope somebody is capable of doing this!

Try the Shapewriter...works on same technology of swype...although i didnt like it personally...numpad was too cramped...but u might like it since u mentioned swype...swype does look appealing

right now am using SPB and Resco pretty good but sometimes when you tap a letter it doesnt appear.. its like it has a delay or something! but i do wish someone makes sometimes that works good!

PCMK kills them all. Without a doubt.
Tene is also adding gesture support in the next version here, and you can add cursor buttons (left right up down) as in HTC keyboard for navi. Easily the best, I have tried I think just about all sips.
Fully skinnable and you can also change the layout to just how you want. Would highly recommend it.

I found it a bit slow and the autocomplete shows only one option. plus the feedback didn't appear instantly as it should.

How recently have you tried it?
.23 has none of those issues...

Swype seems cool, does anybody have any idea on when the public version will come out? It seems like you can have them contact you when the beta version comes out...

Save attached exe to the same directory on phone, where fingerkeyb.dll exist and run program. After successful registration keyboard must show in keyboard list.

TAB key missing

Hi all
I've come over from the TP to the TP2 and I'm really missing the TAB key on the keyboard. Used it a bit. Is there anyway to map another key (maybe via FN) to perform the TAB function?

If you are just looking to move your text cursor between fields, the directional arrow buttons will do the job.

I must maybe try that again... I've tried it before but it didn't always work.

Nope it doesn't work... problem is that when I'm in a block that has figures in it it will go forward in the same block instead of going to the next block. Anyone else with same other ideas?

take a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/ChangingKeyboardLayout
edit the file eT9.Rhodium.409.kmap.txt this way:
change this row:
{T T T T T 0x04}
in this row:
{T T T 0x09 0x09 0x04}
save the file as unicode and copy it to windows folder
now for tab key just type FN + T

Think I'm missing something. I've looked at the registry key and it says I'm using: eT9.Rhodium.www.kmap.txt but when I change this file absolutely nothing happens?? Should I still be chaning: eT9.Rhodium.409.kmap.txt although this is not the one according to my registry?

i did this mod time ago, but in my old touch pro the tab key did change between input fields, in touch pro 2 it only add a bounch of spaces (like when in text insertion) and doesn't switch fields...
is there a way to change the behaviour?

Need a Tab Button on touch pro2...
I have the same problem i need a tab button. I read in another thread how they remapped the Fn+t to = the tab but i dont think it is for the touch pro2
when i load the (eT9.Rhodium.www.kmap.txt) file nothing happeans. i did read in the text you have to change it to a unicode file but i couldn't figure out how to do that. Also many people have replied that you can use the arrow keys but as stated by "pieterbotes" if you are in a field for Example "typing in your name" you cannot move to another field for example " your password" with the arrow keys it the same thing on a Pc Keyboard only a tab button will allow you to do that. So if any of the great minds on this site have a answer it would be greatly appricated.
And does anyone agree that fn+q would be better than fn+t since the q is close to where the tab would be?
Thank You.
Duane

Don't know if you're interested, but i've found that Keyboard Config is pretty useful for stuff like this.

Could you please copy and paste here the eT9.Rhodium.409.kmap.txt file content?
This .txt file is located in /Windows folder... check also if it exist another eT9...txt file...
I'm interested notably in this row: {T T T x x 0x04} (what's instead X?)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

it' {T T T 0x09 0x09 0x04}
but i edited it.
in that way you have the tab key but it add spaces and does not change fields..
using the key remapper instead and sendink the keystroke to the os works as expected...

That program works brilliant. Thanks.

Touch Input problem

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.
