I wrote this Guide, cause I experienced that Keychars on my Hardware Keyboard of my Desire Z changed in some CustomRoms (for example in CM7) and I couldn´t write chars like ä,ö,ü.
Attention: *** = Your language (short) like:
ger=germany
ara=arabic
and so on ....
1) Pick up your keychar:
What you have to do is to pick up your favourite keyboard Layout of your language from a Rom you want, located under:
"/system/usr/keychars/" named "vision-keypad-***-kcm.bin"
2) Push it to your Device in Recovery with adb shell to your device :
adb push /PathOfYourFile/vision-keypad-***-kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/
3) then type in ADB Shell:
chmod 644 /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-***-kcm.bin
Now Reboot and let me know if it worked for you

Funzt einwandfrei, besten dank
Didn't work
I have a T-Mobile G2 running on Virtuous 1.0. I tried to copy the "vision-keypad-wwe-kcm.bin" from the original G2 system in order to get back the www/.com and SYM keys. No luck for me.
Please reply if anyone has been able to successfully get the www/.com and SYM keys into Virtuous!

I use the app buttonremapp. Nice easy way to change the layout with that.

Hi,
do you think there is a way to bind the SYM key to a popup symbols like on stock Sense ROM ? Or maybe using the onscreen "prediction line" ?
I'm on an AZERTY Desire Z running CM7 RC1

Is that the one on the Market that costs about $1?
I think they specifically say that the G2 is not supported. Does it work?
I want to get something to work, to remap the three "shortcut" keys on the keyboard (the ones that say "...") to be something like [, ], or <
Will it let me do this?
hi,
i have italian Desire Z, the smartphone must be in recovery mode? with cwm? or else?

Hi all
On my phone (after rooting) this guide didn't work. The file was already there, but not used. I found out much later that my phone had after rooting the wrong system setting for my keyboard.
To find out the actual one, install http://www.appbrain.com/app/setprop-free/com.jiaofamily.android.setprop and check hw.keyboards.0.devname. The one listet there is the used one. In my case it was vision-keypad-wwe, but I have a german phone. So I changed it to vision-keypad-ger, also for hw.keyboards.131073.devname (no idea if the second is also needed) and rebooted. Sadly it was reset to wwe after reboot.
So I simply renamed the -ger file to -wwe and pushed that one on the one (and replaced the old one). But it's still not working, any other ideas?
I updated to the newest firmware for the note 2 the n7100xxxxJ1 update so that I can have split screen and that part worked but after reinstalling input languages I found that typing in Chinese still works but it does not have the handwriting feature any more.
All the other input languages that I activate the handwriting feature still works just not Chinese. I use that feature everyday as I live in China. Also I do not want a 3 party app to use the handwriting feature for Chinese due to the fact that everyone of my friends who has used my phone cannot believe how accurate the handwriting feature is for Chinese. Please help I have searched and downloaded and reinstalled and re flashed firmware and i can not figure out how to get it back. Thanks. Phone is rooted has adb, busybox, cmw. I does not work unrooted or rooted not that you think it would make a difference just thought I would say.
thanks for you help
same same~~
if you do find out the solution, please let know too....
same as you

Hi all,
I am a newbie in this forum. My phone has upgraded to Android 4.1.2 (6.2.B.0.200) previously, without root & without unlock boot-loader.
I would like to buy a set of Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to use with my phone. But I heard somebody said Xperia S does not support Bluetooth mouse and keyboard previously (seems talking about Android 2.3.X or before).
So I want to know how the Bluetooth devices supported by Xperia S after upgrading to Android 4.1.2 ?
And any recommendation for Bluetooth mouse and keyboard ?
Please help. Thanks all.

Hello! I've searched the forums multiple times, but I haven't found anything that can help with my specific problem.
I have tried my Fire Stick with several physical keyboards: 1byone Ultra-Slim Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard (bluetooth) and Logitech K520 (wireless). I also want to try it with a Logitech K400 Plus but I expect the same results.
Both only write with English layout, despite everything on my Fire Stick being set to Italian. Both keyboards write correctly in Italian when paired to other devices.
How can I change the layout? Please note that I am only talking about physical keyboards here, the on-screen keyboard works fine.
Can this method help me? https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/prevent-android-keyboard-to-start-usb-t3380368
Do I need to root my device?
Thank you!
No one?
Have you read my answer to your pm? If you have root you can use a custom keylayout. But i assume you don't have root right?

No, I don't have root, and I have the latest version and firmware which I assumed cannot be rooted. Am I wrong?
