Customized Keyboard - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

How can i develop a customized keyboard on Windows Phone 7?

You can't replace the SIP or modify it on WP7.

so how can i have a keyboard in different languages?

phone > settings > keyboard. what's listed there are the languages supported on your device at present. more will come as MS expands the platform and enters into other markets.

TP2 keyboard not standard Microsoft layout?

I use a third-party Asian IME (input method editor) to display Asian characters.
This IME used to work really well with other phones, but with TP2, some of the symbols don't come out well.
For example, Fn+H comes out as "\", not ";" , and Fn+J comes out as "/" not ":". The latter problem is very annoying, because it basically prevents entering web address with the sliding keyboard.
When I raised this issue with the developer, they said the IME has worked with almost every PDA-phone, including Touch Pro, but the non-Microsoft standard keyboard layout of Touch Pro2 is keeping it from working properly and there is nothing they can do about it.
Is it true that the keyboard layout of TP2 does not conform to some kind of Microsoft standard?
If so, is there any way to fix it?

Microsoft SIP Keyboard on WinCE

Maybe this is not the best group for this question but for sure this is the nest site for asking such a question...
On my GoClever navigation device (PNA) with WinCE 5.0 there's only "LargeKB" large SIP keyboard (implemented by largekb.dll). There's no "Keyboard" a small SIP keyboard (implemented by msim.dll). I'd like to have both large and small SIP keyboard on my system to be able to select preferred one. What I have to do in order to add new SIP keyboard?
I manually copied msim.dll into my \Windows dir, imported additional needed registry keys and now I'm able to select two keyboards from SIP drop-down menu (Control Panel->Input Panel) but Windows does not want to load my msim.dll and show just added SIP keyboard. Every time when I select new SIP keyboard from drop-down list Windows refuse to accept it and return to LargeKB SIP. I tried to register new introduced msim.dll using regsrvce.exe but it does not help!
same problem
I know this is a common problem on WinCe devices, so if you have solved the problem please PM, or post it here,...
And I could not find a good forum regarding the wince devices, it is so not good!!1

How to switch to Chinese handwriting on official Froyo ROM

Hi,
I upgraded to the official Froyo ROM. I see the options for the Chinese handwriting, but I can't find a way to switch to the Chinese handwriting mode.
Please help.
1. Ensure you are using HTC's stock keyboard, then only:
Press Menu, select settings > scroll down > select Language & keyboard > select Touch Input > select International keyboard > scroll all the way down > select 2nd last chinese word.
You're done!
You can configure simple chinese or traditional chinese in the Chinese Text Input option
If think he is talking about actually drawing the characters.
Hi,
The problem is that I can see that there are many different Chinese input options but the handwriting option is actually missing! Is this a know bug? Any workaround?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Any update on this? Really quite odd that the options are there yet one cannot select the handwriting keyboard.
It seems hand-writing only works in Contacts..
I have been looking for the Chinese handwriting option all over too.
In the Settings / Language & keyboard / Touch Input / Chinese Text input, there is a Handwriting options section.
Lets say I go back out and write a SMS, there is no way to select handwriting mode. I have already enabled all the Chinese input methods. However none of them gives access to handwriting.
Am I missing something? Or is the handwriting feature missing from this build?

Here what i have done to make touch input working:
Setting / Language & keyboard / Touch Input / International Keyboard / Tick English and PinYin and HandWriting (tick all the options except this one: stroke input)
and then make sure you have no other input method installed, at least if you have others installed, you can touch the input area on the screen until a window shows up that tells you to choose one of them
I got Chinese handwriting keyboard option now. It works exactly like the HTC Desire HD now. Chinese character recognition is extremely good. It is now available in MCCM's HD v2.0 Desire HD build. It got released when I wrote my previous message.
It can be found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856312
The build has some nice new features. It has a few minor issues like the default skins are missing. I always customise so that does not matter too much. It is still a battery hog. It does not seem too stable as it has rebooted back to WinMo twice so far. Overall, the build is still very nice.
Previously, I was using MDJ's v4.0 build of the Desire HD rom.

I have four chinese input options: zhuying, changjie, pinyin and bihua.
but none of them is handwriting... the "bihua" is for you to choose, not write on the screen...
Please help.
p/s: sorry for hijacking the Desire forum as my android is Desire based.

Change keyboard layout

Hello guys,
I have an Elite x3, and I have a problem with keyboard layout. Bulgarian language has two different keyboards - standard one, called BDS, and phonetic one (where Cyrillic symbols correspond to their Latin sounds) . Until August update the situation was acceptable - the layout on the phone was phonetic, but when you connect external keyboard via Continuum, it turned to BDS, where you can write with 10 fingers. So I'm sure, that both layouts are included in Windows mobile. In August update, MS made it phonetic everywhere - both on the phone and external keyboard. I write a lot, with 10 fingers, which is simply impossible with the phonetic layout - it is optimised for another language.
Is it possible to change the layout from phonetic to the standard one using Interop tools, or any other way?
Thank you in advance!
