Newbie HTC S740 Faroese/Icelandic letters

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.

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

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

How to add Cyanogen messaging and fonts

Hi guys,
Can anyone enlighten me how to add Cyanogen's messenger and delete the default one onto custom ROM's?
I have had a look at contents of the ROM's that have it installed, but I can't figure out which .apk/odex file it is. Is it just the case of adding/installing the .apk, or does it require other things?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[Q] help editing MIUI keyboard

Hi guys. So I am working on an MIUI theme and I'm stuck at the keyboard. How on earth do I change all the orange (highlights, tips, function keys, etc.) to a different color? I've read something about theme_values?? But is there a sample you can download to edit or do you have to make it from scratch in eclipse? If so I have a hard time understanding how to make a project so I've done everything I can to avoid it. Any help pointing me in the right place is greatly appreciated. Thanks
no one can help me out? I've seen themes with it changed so I know it's possible I just don't know how to extract that part from that theme to put into my own. Please help!

Are you referring to the stock samsung keyboard? It had some swype like functionality, but was not actually swype. You can enable this via: “Settings” > “Language and Input” and then click the wheel next to “Samsung keyboard” and check “Continuous Input”. (Instructions from external website, cannot confirm because current rom does not have stock keyboard.) Hope this helps.

Custom Layout for Virtual and Dock Keyboards

Hello,
I have a TF300 (no 3G), updated to 4.2.1 stock, will root it today. I want to create a custom keyboard layout - Armenian (my native language), by editing one of the standard layouts that I don't need. If I get right the solutions described here and here, it is possible to add a completely new keyboard layout by modifying one of the stock layouts, key by key.
The question is: which files are for the Asus virtual keyboard layout, and which ones are for the dock layout? I want to modify both. I know that I should look in "/system/usr/xt9/keychars" and "/system/usr/xt9/keylayout", am I right? Is there anything else that I am missing?
Any help will be greatly apperciated, please share your experience of modifying the stock layouts.
Thanks!
Still no reply?
Anyway, yesterday I rooted my TF300, installed Root Explorer, navigated to /system/usr/xt9/keychars/, and there were no keyboard layout files (*.kcm). The folder "keychars" itself was missing. Has something changed from 4.1? Where are the files with the keyboard layouts now?
I am in the same boat as you are! My native language is Macedonian, and cant figure it out. I wanted to do it with cyrilic, but I am not able to do it.
I have been trying to do this for quite a while. If you find a solution, please PM me.
