Hello. I've seen some threads about this, but none has helped me. So, I've a TP2 that came with a French ROM and now I've flashed it with a Portuguese one and it's working just fine. The problem is that the QWERTY keyboard is totaly mixed up, because the layout as been changed.
Assuming that it is not possible to change the hardware (if it is please tell me how!!!!!!), how can I modify the layout back to the original one???
Hope someone can help me and feel free to use this thread for the same kind of questions!
There is an easy way to fix it. You can do exactly as I did. Reflash the stock rom. Open a registry editor and export this folder
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
Then flash the rom you want and import that folder and you will be good.

So, changing the hardware keyboard is not possible, or is it?
By the way, if someone could get the folder for me, someone that has the French version, i wouldn't have to reflash the stock rom would I?
Is it is possible i would try to find someone that could get it for me...

I just don't see why you would go through the hassle. It takes 30 minutes to flash the stock, get the stuff, and flash back. It will take much more time to find manuals, wait for parts, etc to swap the hardware keyboard.
Yes, if you had someone else that can export that part of the registry, you would be good.

Quite true... I only thought about it because I'm so used with the QWERTY. But probably it's better just change the layout. Thank you for your help!!!
No problem!
I made the changes needed and it worked, by changing:
- HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
CurLang = 1036
- HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
Active = 0000040c
But there is still something wrong, like when I press:
FN + A... it should appears the "à" but it doesn't
FN + Z... should be "è"
FN + R... should be "é"
FN + S... should be "ê"
FN + D... should be "ô"
FN + F... should be "ù"
I think this are the only ones that doesn't work right... does anybody knows how to fix it?

Hello everybody.
My first post here.
I've been trying to find an easy way of typing letters like (á, í, ó, ú, ý and ð) using the qwerty keyboard.
I've found some threads, but what people are saying makes no sense to me. To technical.
So I was wondering, if anyone could help me.
Is it possible to modify the phone to type these letter, without entering the symbols menu. Also I haven't been able to find the letter ð, Ð anywhere on the phone.
Thanks in advance.

Try altering the keymap.
.-ombre-.
WOW, this looks like it is it.
However, in the other thread, it states "just move the file to the windows folder"
Should it replace another file? Is there a sub-folder in the windows folder where it should be?
The thing is, that I have no experience in working with phones in this way.
But thanks so far
hzd
Yes, it will replace the original keymap text file. Not sure if the integrated file browser will let you do that, but copying with ActiveSync or other filebrowsers such as TotalCommander will definately work
.-ombre-.
Ahh... I see... I think
I will try this out.
hzd
OK. I did this, but no change. Do I have to change anything in the regional settings. Language perhaps...
I downloaded the file in the link. Copied it to the phone and used the resco explorer to copy it to the windows folder on my phone. But the keyboard works in the same way still.
Thanks for the help anyway Don't wan't to sound *****y

I've changed the Rom from the French version to the Portuguese, but now the fixed keyboard QWERTY is totality mixed up, when I press the "a" it appears the "q", and others, because the original rom was in french and the keyboard for them is different. So, what can I do now, is it possible to change the letters in the keyboard opening the phone or what? Help please...

I did find the thread but no Finnish ROM 1.19.414.1 only a sms hotfix...
Unfortunately, you can't then.
how do i get a finnish rom then?
I am sure it exists, but I don't know where. I wish I could be of more help.
do i need to get a finnish friend to dum 1 for me? am i in a wrong track? dunno for sure what dumping a rom means..
I am sure you can dump a rom, but quite honestly, that is outside of the realm of anything I know or have done. I am sure if you post a new thread about dumping the rom, they can help you.
Hi, i been doing alot of research already and cant find anything that helps me.
im looking for a keyboard or a mod that can enable my Unicode for sending sms messages. every time i send it to some one, that person gets everything in ? marks. now if i send it thru different app, they get it right. those who have HTC Tilt 2 probably understands that we have the manila version where we can read the messages and when we click on it a whole history opens. and if i type in russian there it works good. but if i open all messages and click on one of my contacts it will open another app with all history too but if i type in russian it will send only ? marks. id use that first app. but the problem with that is that i cant copy and past in to text box... so if anybody can help me find a russian keyboard with Unicode enabled that be great.
This is a font issue. The ? is there because it is unmapped from within the font itself. You need a font that has all the unicode stuff mapped.
Where can i get that font? and do i need to install that font on my device? or the device i send message to?
I must say that I've flashed my tp2 with different roms but never encountered such problem. People get normal russian text from me. But I use original drivers for keyboard that were extracted from the stock rom by b16b, if I remember the name correctly. I could upload the cab as soon as I am home if you want to give it a try.

It is NOT a driver issue. This has NOTHING to do with hardware, and EVERYTHING to do with software.

I’m pretty sure it’s not the hardware issue ether. Eternalsinner if you can send me that ROM I could try it out… maybe that will help. Question is. How come the receiver gets the Russian font when I use the manila version of text messaging, and when I use regular windows version they all get “?” marks. So its gata be settings or software issue.

Thanks gehzumteufel. what if i install a Russian ROM will that change the settings to read unicode (UTF-8)?

It isn't that it can't read it, but a font file will have mappings for unicode values. So if the value for я is NOT in the font file, you will get one of three characters. A "?", a box looking character, or a blank space. This is just the way that fonts work unfortunately.
Thanks gehzumteufel. i guess ill be googling for fonts now. if i find something ill let you know.

Hi all!
After searching the wide web of the world I didn't find anyone who cared to program the special characters for nordic keyboards (æ,ø and å). The norwegian stock ROM has got these mapped to own keys, but I've never liked to use stock ROMs, so I was stuck with the "long press method".
New! Now Spanish is also supported!
If you screw up your phone trying to adb push, cp -f these files I'm not responsible yada yada yada (nothing wrong should happend, really)
What I've done is taking the modified files from teferi, and added my own editing for the quick keys (as I had to make place for the chars I removed from jkl) and the special chars of course.
Confirmed on my G2 (running the Sense ROM from MoDaCo), but should work for the Desire Z too! Any guinea pigs out there?
Code:
*Norwegian*
version 0.3:
-Fixed issue with , and ; didn't work on hardware keyboard.
version 0.2:
Quick change to the "Z" button, since "`" is used in command substitutions.
-alt-z is still "^", alt-shift-z = "`"
version 0.1:
-alt+j,k,l = æ,ø,å (alt+shift gives capitol letter).
- make ".com" a TAB key, as it ought to be
- left softkey is now "\" "|" "/"
- right softkeys are now "[" "(" "<" and "]" ")" ">"
- alt-z is now "^"
Code:
*Spanish version*
Version 0.2
-Corrected filenames for the new files, and included the right "originals".
Version 0.1
[Key] - [Shift + key] - [FN + key] - [Shift + FN + key]
a - A - ! - á
e - E - 3 - é
i - I - 8 - í
o - O - 9 - ó
u - U - 7 - ú
n - N - = - ñ
? - ¿ - " - ¡
. - < - : - >
INSRUCTIONS:
*Add -wwe after "keypad" in the filename for both files if your running a Desire Z based ROM. CM and G2-based will work without -wwe*
- download file
- unzip *.zip
- adb push vision-keypad.kl /sdcard/
- adb push vision-keypad.kcm.bin /sdcard/
- adb shell
- su (if you don't have ro.secure turned off)
- mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
- cp -f /sdcard/vision-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/
- cp -f /sdcard/vision-keypad.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/
- reboot
Btw... backup of original keymapping is included... just rename them without .orig, and follow the procedure above
Code:
Guide to make your own keys:
Download a hex editor (i prefer xvi32), open the "kcm.bin", and alter the symbols shown in the attached .jpg. If you wish to alter the "main" char of the key, you can change that in the .kl file with notepad (check the difference between esp and nor to see an example).
Thanks to teferi for the base files

I can make files for other special characters if someone wants that... or you could simply HEX-edit the files yourself

Great work! But, since I'm not Norwegian, I'm not going to try it
However, I'd love to see a modification of the original English Desire Z Sense keymap with just a few modifications.
Here's a picture of the Desire Z keyboard
http://www.theunwired.net/media/news/htc_desire_z_front_open.jpg
1) Getting á, é, í, ó and ú by Shift + FN + a, e, i, o, u (I think it's Shift + Alt in the G2 keyboard). Currently I have to long press the vowel key and then touching the screen. Not efficient.
2) Getting ¿ by using Shift + ? , and maybe ¡ by pressing Shift + FN + ?.
Would it be possible?
If you need the original files or whatever, just tell me
Thank you in advance.
I would need to get the original desire z keymapping files as I've just the g2... they are a little different with the non-letter keys.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Here it is
I've just uploaded a file with the two directories, keychars and keylayout.
I think it's interesting that there are several kcm.bin files and several kl files, for different languages, but I don't know how to select them.
Thank you again.
Actually... You can't keep both ! and "á" at the "A" key.... or at least you can't get the "á" capitol that way...
It would then be a, A, !, á available on that key.
Do you want me to remove the !, or...
I don't mind having to long press A to get the Á, I don't use it that often
cool. this is useful for me. I don't got the Nordic version so thanks

I would like to state that these files /system/keymap/* and /system/kaychar/* might be affecting the capacitive buttons belove the screen also. This will not brick anyone's phone (probably ) but will make it hard to do anything unless fixed.
What I understand:
everyone should use only the files that are meant for their specific DZ version and modify that.
I.E. G2 files on Scandinavian DZ renders capacitive buttons useless. And if u dont have adb access nearby it can be hard to do anything
Novek, I hadn't seen your private message. I already answered and I'm willing to try your alternative files
By the way, does anybody know why there is a lot of different files in /system/usr/keychars and keylayout? I mean, there's a vision-keypad.kcm.bin and a vision-keypad-esn.kcm.bin.
It would seem that the esn file could be useful for us Spanish speakers, but I don't know how to use it.
Hi Novek.
Thanks a lot for the Spanish version, but I'm afraid I'm doing something wrong.
I substituted the original files for the ones you have uploaded (I tried both doing it via Root Explorer and following your guide using adb) and when I press Shift + FN + N I still get = instead of ñ. The same with the rest of the keys.
I think I've read somewhere that the Desire Z uses the vision-keypad-wwe.kcm.bin and vision-keypad-wwe.kl file instead of the ones without wwe, could that be it?
I would assume that you can just rename the files I posted...
/edit
If it works after renaming to wwe, I'll change the uploaded files..
I'll also re-do the norwegian keymapping with the DZ-files tomorrow - removing the files for G2 now.

I just renamed the files and it worked. Thank you very much
Edit 1. Mmm.. it worked at first, but now when I use Shift+FN+key I get Á, É, Í... instead of á, é, í.

In the first posting, it pretty much is a step-by-step guide. Is there any particular part that's confusing you ? Don't be afraid to ask specific questions about things. It's not dumb to ask questions, it's dumb to just try something when you don't understand what you're doing and it could mess up your phone !
Yes, as far as I know this should work with the original ROM.
It's not really clear for me, how can I make my own layout?
So which file included "which key is which letter" table, and how can i edit it?

The fix is easy
Know original CSC....get strings of that CSC
Compare Strings from original CSC with Modded ones
Find the bug and fix it
Place back new strings files via CSC flashing
Done !

A little up here.
I got the same problem with Turko v6 for S8530.
One other strange thing is that I can't delete my e-mail "basket". But no restart.
I will investigate a bit and send something if I find something.
I set debug level to high and I succeeded in deleting the "e-mail basket".
I got blue screen when trying to deleting messages
Seven. I took photos of them as much as I could as I was obliged to go 2 pages by 2.
By the way how to upload the content ? I found that I must press Home button during blue screen but which program should I use after entiring in upload mode ?
Rest is here
Sorry I had trouble with one I couldn't shot.
