Hi everyone, I am having a small problem with my HTC Desire Z. Its rooted, with Virtuos V.2.0.0 on it atm. Since I rooted it, I am encountering weird problem with my hardware keyboard. Since mobile was bought in Switzerland it comes with QWERTZ keyboard. My mobiles language settings are English(Switzerland). If I try to type something not only that Y and Z are swapped, most of secondary symbols are too. I tried pressing Fn and Space to change to German but there is only English under default languages and I cant find way to add additional languages in there.
HBoot version is:HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC10***** )
Any thoughts or ideas?
PS
I found some other post which mentions Y <-> Z problem, but since I have other symbols swapped too, its not that much helpful to me

Hello all,
I have a problem with HTC TP2 since I bought it, few months ago. I think device is made for Swedish market and I'm running WWE ROM. Keyboard is standard qwerty and all the letters work OK, but after I press FN key to add a symbol (above number) it's not displayed correctly. Do you know how to change it?
Thank you in advance (and sorry for my English)
Hi guys =)
I recently bought a HTC desire Z (European Version).
Everything is perfect except I have problems with typing Chinese.
Actually, I can , of course, type in Chinese by activating the CHinese keyboard and then type with the touchscreen.
But the problem is that I can't type Chinese with the physical keyboard...It's always stuck in French/English.
Anyone has ideas on how to solve this ?
Thanks =)
But the physical keyboard doesn't have Chinese letters
FN + Space
@omarsalmin: We can use Pinyin as input method to write chinese characters
@n3ph thanks for your reply but I did try that too...
the problem is that I only have English and French available for the physical keyboard...
So it looks like I'm stuck...
Is there a way to add Chinese ?
You could try installing Google Pinyin IME from the market. It adds another keyboard to the phone
I have the same problem
Did you found a way to type chinese with the physical keyboard? I have the same problem.
Hi All,
I've got a brand new hTC WildFire S, I'm feeling like I moved from a country to a country, I'd a Tytn II first ages ago (WM) then a blackberry and along with now, I'm having this WildFone , the fone is nice, battery is ok, moving apps to sd improves the memory situation...
I just don't want to take risks, does anybody have an idea about how to make the Arabic Keyboard visible like the English one (like the IPad or something, there is a button like "Earth Planet" beside the Space Buttong ?
Especially, I bought it from Egypt and it's Arabic Enabled...
Simply you can long press the text field on phone ans select INPUT METHOD and then selected desired keyboard.
That was very useful...I've been trying for 3 days to work it out
Same issue, didn't work
Hi, I've just got a brand new wildfire S as well, but from the UK. It has 2.3.3 installed. I've searched the settings for international keyboards and arabic is not there, and when I tried the solution above (long press the text field) it didnt work.
Is it because my phone is not arabic enabled? When I receive text from family the arabic is shown as separated letters (arabic letters are supposed to join always). Are Egypt phones different from UK phones? How is your phone "arabic enabled" and is mine arabic enabled too?
Thanks in advance.
actually as your phone is from UK you will not be able to get the Arabic ROM for it which will make the Arabic letters connect any how if you can S-Off it you will be able to put an Arabic ROM on it otherwise no solution for this.
Dear,
Previous year I bought a desire Z in Belgium. It came with a french hardware keyboard (in Belgium and France, we use a AZERTY keyboard).
So the device is equipped with a AZERTY keyboard.
A few weeks ago I bought a completely new motherboard for this phone.
I replaced the board (it is a 'revision' board I think, some Chinese ROM was installed).
I rooted the new phone/motherboard immediately and installed Andromadus Mimicry.
Now I have a problem that the hardware keyboard is 'programmed' in the ROM as a qwerty layout.
So if I type a 'a' on the keyboard, the motherboard interpretes this as a 'q'.
How can I change this?
Anyone have an idea?
I know that there is a folder /system/usr/keychars and also a folder /system/usr/keylayout.
Maybe I need to replace files stored in this folder, if so, what files do I need to replace and where can I find them?
Thx very much 4 assistance!

I have managed to remap my hardware keyboard with the help of this guide There a couple of threads about this sort of problem with Mimicry,That guide works on gingerbread and hopefully it may be of use to you.
I have find the thread with the guide, thx.
But it is quietly impossible to change all the keys (including characters, using FN and so on)...
I have in the /system/usr/keychars a fome vision keypad fra.kcm
This is the layout I need to use.
Does anybody have an idea how I can 'activate' this layout?
Hello there. I'd like to use physical keyboard and mouse(with OTG) while I chatting or surfing with my phones, however I faced a problem at G3 while doing this. G3 doesn't support to Turkish characters(Ğ,Ü,Ç,Ö,Ş,ı) while using the physical keyboard. It already has Turkish language pack(LG Keyboard) and more keyboards which include our characters. Htc gives an option to physical keyboard like ''Choose input mode'' when it connected but LG Doesn't or I can't find it. Could you please help me how I switch the physical keyboard's language? Thanks..
Software
I know that this an old post, but I got the same problem with my G2, and found the only solution (I guess). I had to download a app to change lay-out. Since I got a Logitech, there was no problems finding one. Might be far more difficult if you are using other manufacturer.
Unfortunately, I've got the same problem.
I can 'switch' languages with Ctrl + Space (or was it Shift + Space?), but the keyboard layout doesn't change (even though the language icon changes (DE -> EN -> FR in my case).
I hope they'll fix that when Android 5.1 comes out for the G3 (if it ever does).
No solutions to this?
