How do I change to German keyb. localization of Keyboard after updating to WM6 black?

Hi everybody.
I searched the forum already - to no avail...
Just updated my Hermes to WM6 Black Edition. Problem is, that I have a German Device, and now all my keys on my hardware keyboard are set to english localization.
Is there a way to switch to a german keyboard mapping in some way?
Maybe by updating the registry?
Help would be highly appreciated...
thx in advance,
trial

Have a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279158
I never tried it because its not that important for me to have a german keyboard configuration.
Keep us informed how it works

thanks for the link!
it seems to work in most of the cases - except the umlauts like 'ä ö ü' can't be accessed via the keyboard shortcut for some strange reason.
apart from that it works quite well...

I have an app that does it

you have to replace yout sym.0409.txt in windows-dir... search for "sym.04.09.txt" you will find the replacement in the same thread where you find the "German Language Changer"

adding a T9 (Polish) at Artemis Touch 3.0 and others?

Hi,
I just flashed my spv artemis with Artemis Touch 3..
All fine but... I'd like to use alpha-numerical Touch Keypad when writing texts,etc. The problem is that there are few T9, but obviously not a Polish one. I don't know how to upload a T9, where to take it from or at least deactivate the T9 feature at all...
Any feedback mates?
thanks

Polish T9 is not a problem, but Polish xT9... that is the problem... More about XT9 input, you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343106
For disable xt9 use THIS cab

Thanks a million!
You brought me some hopes accodrding to the lack of Polish XT9. The thread seems to be quite fresh.
The *.cab unfortunately messed something up, disabled the 12-buttons Keypad and turned it into a qwerty one. Strange. Even resetting haven't helped.
Anyway I uninstalled it and all fine now.
I've noticed a simple button on the keypad tha allows you to disable the XT9 Is that thanks to the cab or it has always been there? dunno
I suppose that the best temporary resolution would be installing a keypad supporting the old T9, install a POL one and wait for some tough brains to develop the Xt9 translation (as I am not a tough brain able to help in any means...)
cheers

That was happend because this cab permanently disable xT9 dictionary, and it's completly normal.

Yes, for now this is the only way to have T9. I'm also waiting for someone who can develop xT9 lang, because as you, I don't know how

Which S620 Version?
I'm not sure which S620 version I have -- it is European and has the QWERTY layout, with the symbols for the British Pound, US Dollar, and Euro on the J, K, and L keys respectively.
I have the latest KAVANA WM6.1 ROM installed (GREAT!). However, I believe I mistakenly installed the US English Dash key map, which works great for the letters a-z, but some of the symbols do not match the keys (FN-Q is % instead of !, FN-N is & instead of @, etc.). I'm guessing this is a UK English keyboard, since I bought this S620 from eBay and it has a 220V charger. Anyway, any ideas how I get the map to match all the symbols on my keyboard?
I've done quite a bit of searching different threads on this forum but have not so far been able to find the answer.

It looks to be a UK or British keyboard. The British pounds symbol is on one of the keys. That's a sure sign that it's not a US keyboard.

Any uk keyboard mapping support
hey all, is there a uk keyboard mapping cab file yet?

Check in your \Start Menu\My Tools\Extras
do you have a file called "Excalibur eT9 Changer" if you do....click on it and choose the respective layout you need.
You can pick from:
UK Excalibur KeyMap
USA Excalibur KeyMap
Spanish Excalibur KeyMap
Portuguese Excalibur KeyMap
German Excalibur KeyMap
Italian Excalibur KeyMap
If not i can upload the the files needed.

Which Rom are you using??

Key mapp works
i installed the full mapping cab and all is good now. Also, i have no 'my tools' in the start menu. i installed the kavana 6.1 rom.

When I do a long press-and-hold on the period and comma keys, I don't get a semi-colon or colon... just a period or comma. But when I do alt-period or alt-comma, then I do get the semi-colon and colon. I think these are the only keys this happens on, at least that I've seen so far. Anyone else?

Yes, it's a fairly common thing with the new ROMs. Neither of the t9 fixes will help you with it.

thanks guys worked like a charm

Hebrew Support for native HD Keyboard

Hi,
I've done some work on the keyboard cab available on the diamond forum and adapted it to the touch HD.
I've also addressed some issues that the diamond version suffers from.
Here's a list of what's been done:
Version 1.00:
- Graphics for Compact Qwerty & Phone Keypad have been recreated to accomodate the HD
- Landscape mode integrated into the cab
- Fixed kdb files for Full Qwerty, Compact Qwerty and Phone Pad
- Hebrew doesn't replace Italian anymore! Instead, it is added above Italian
- Hebrew-related files and registry keys are named properly with the correct codes and names and according to the convention in other language-related files.
- T9 works partially. It will learn the words you use and will suggest according to that. Unfortunately I couldn't find a compatible t9 dictionary (and believe me I tried!)
Installation instructions:
1. Download the attached CAB
2. Copy to your memory card via ActiveSync
3. IMPORTANT: Using Schap's Advanced Task Manager (or any other capable program), kill the process SIPGT_app.exe
4. Run the CAB
5. Soft reset
I've tested this with a UK 1.14 ROM and the free hebrew support.
I do not recommend installing this alongside Eyron (didn't try) as it also attempts to modify the native keyboard and would probably conflict.
Congratulations you have a (almost) native HD hebrew keyboard!
For tactile feedback (ala Eyron) I recommend installing snailslug's great TouchResponse (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450256) you can configure it to work only when the keyboard is open and the stylus is in and it provides very good feel without slowing down the device.
On the T9 front, I'd be happy if anyone could help me out. If you could get me some hebrew ldb dictionary files from ANY phone with T9 it might help me decipher this evil proprietary format.
I'd like to thank Alex for the original diamond cab and also nir36 and everyone who contributed to the development of the free hebrew support.
(Note that the attached cab is provided as is and I take no responsibility in case your device bursts into flames.)
Cheers!

Thanks!
how do you change from hebrew to english? there is an option to do it with the ABC->T9 button? I'm using the txt files from Eyron mui.cab to replace the Italian in my device but it seems to have some kind of bug when i'm replacing it from english to hebrew - the kbd will stuck for 5 minutes every time! and there is no half qwerty or phone pad option...
I'll try your version soon and will report back to you.

Good job!
I'll try it out today and let you know how it works.

tnx very much !!!!
daniel

Please post your skins.

Hi. just checked your files - great work!
I used to extract the files from Eyron cabs and use them on my device, but it was good only for the full qwerty - and it replaced the Italian on my device, your solution is much better.
and now - for the T9 thing - it works only in half qwerty and phone pad modes, not in the full qwerty mode.
any way - great work. you made a great solution for the free-hebrew community

*Big* thanks. Works perfectly!

No there isn't. It's impossible to implement. the only way to switch languages with ezinput is through the menu..

In full qwerty it would only suggests word completion (it has nothing else to do)

well I only needed to change 4 files. here they are

maybe you can try using this...
u could probably rip the T9 words off of it...

Does it also support HTC Touch Diamond?
If not, where can i find the native hebrew kewboard for the Diamond?
Thanks!

Thanks I already have this file and unfortunately it looks very different from the HTC files. I also have another one from Sony Ericsson which looks more like that HTC ones but I couldn't get it to work.
Still haven't given up though

Nice!

Installtion Failed
I've tried to run the cab in my HD but it says: "Installtion was unsuccessful. the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system premissions", what can i do?

Dutch T9 Working on Duttys ROM 1.8 & 1.9 & 1.9b!

I dont know if this was the right thing to do to place this thread here, but I thought it will get the most attention here because this has been a huge problem for many people..
After alot of figuring out, I finnaly got my Dutch T9 working on my sweet HTC Touch HD with Duttys Rom 1.9b.
This is the way to do it:
Download these files from my server, place all the files in your windows directory of your HD:
http://boomkamp-ict.nl/dutcht9.rar
Next you start up a Registry Editor (I used Kilmist Registry Editor), then you make the following changes to your registry:
(For the people that are not familiar with editing the registry, make sure you use the string value when adding these values)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9]
"AvailableLanguages"="0113,0109,010C,0107,0110 ,010 A"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Sip\KdbFiles]
"0B13"="spd.5x4.Dutch.kdb"
"0A13"="spd.4x4.Dutch.kdb"
"0C13"="spd.Lqwerty.Dutch.kdb"
"0D13"="spd.Pqwerty.Dutch.kdb"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Sip\Language KeyboardIDMapping]
"0113"="0913"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\LdbFiles]
"0113"="NLlsUN_xt9.ldb"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\KDbFiles]
"0613"="hpd.5x4.Dutch.kdb"
After this you do a soft-reset.
I am unable to change the language in the Touch Input Setting, but you need to change the language in the "pop-up menu" from the keyboard.
Now you can enjoy your Dutch T9!
A thanks is appreciated
Greetingz Coen Boomkamp.

didn't work for me, the keyboard is still messed up. When using abc, all is well, but when using xt9 the letters are messed. When type the letter 'l' i get a dot ('.'). And type letter 'm' i get nothing.

Same problem here. The option 'Dutch' shows, but the dictionary of xt9 isn't recognizing the words. Thanks for the effort though

My Phone Keypad..
Here you can see my Phone Keypad, with Dutch selected, and typing a dutch word with my working T9.

could you try the full qwerty keyboard to see if you got the same problem i have?

I use always this keys, not yet testet with this rom.
And I use a cab calles Dutch_XT9_for_Niki.cab.

When i turn to abc in full qwerty all the letters are ok.
all these settings are in dutch

that's the whole problem, I use t9 on full qwerty, because i can type sooooooo much faster. With all the long words in the dutch language it saves me more than 50% typing time, because after 4 or 5 words all i have to do is press space. So concluding..... no solution for the dutch t9 yet for ezinput 2.0
