CAN ANYONE HELP ME CHANGE MY VIRTUAL KEYBOARD BACK TO THE ENGLISH (QWERTY) RATHER THAN THE FRENCH (AZERTY) LAYOUT? Thank you in advance for your help and Merry Christmas!
Hi I have an ATT Tilt 2 and have recently encountered an issue with my virtual (onscreen) keyboard. I am not sure how nor exactly when the issue occurred but my virtual keyboard now has the FRENCH AZERTY keyboard layout rather than the normal QWERTY layout. The layout is now AZERTY :
# A and Q are swapped,
# Z and W are swapped,
# M is moved to the right of L (where colon/semicolon is on a US keyboard), etc.
Most of the characters are in the same place as the ENGLISH keyboard with virtually just the above exceptions.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
I have gone to SETTINGS > PERSONAL > INPUT > Input Method (Touch Input) > OPTIONS... button and I see there that the Language is FRENCH!
I have searched and have found no available method to change the LANGUAGE within the SETTINGS.
I have also used ADVANCED CONG. Utilizing the INPUT Selection. However ENGLISH was already the chosen option though the FRENCH LAYOUT is what is portrayed. I have tried changing the language to FRENCH then rebooting - then changing it back to ENGLISH then rebooting again. Nothing has worked.
Again I don't know what changed the layout or exactly when it changed. I believe the last few Software items I downloaded and installed prior to the change are:
DivX Player - SpooNotes -Diamond Tweak - Airscanner Antivirus -Airscanner Scheduler -Wolf's Translator - Irecway RushHour - Photoshop.com Mobile -Writer - and MPlayer .
CAN ANYONE HELP ME CHANGE MY VIRTUAL KEYBOARD BACK TO THE ENGLISH (QWERTY) RATHER THAN THE FRENCH (AZERTY) LAYOUT? Thank you in advance for your help and Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the response JoeBob. Is there any software that you downloaded/installed just before you saw this happen? Or maybe a website you visited?
Hello All Experts,
my HTC Desire Z was bought with a Netherland/Belgium Firmware but i operate it in german Language. It came therefore with a AZERTY Keyboard Layout which would't be a problem if i was able to change the prediction language of the hardware keyboard typing to german. But the problem is that this is only possible for french and english in the installed OS.
I read a lot of posts talking about the following solutions:
1. Change Hardware Keyboard Mapping (Still prediction missing)
2. Run some other firmware (Not sure if original firmware or overclocking is done to that firmware)
My Questions:
Is there a possible way of adding german spell prediction by a file to the system? If the mapping is only a file this should be possible.
Can someone point me to the original german 1.72 firmware which is still able to be updated (german delivery OS - without any modification).
Thank you all

Unfortunately I don't believe without a custom ROM and / or a third party software this is possible to get working.
Looking online it seems like most HTC Android phones have a missing profile in the HTC Bluetooth Deployment. You could always look into installing a custom ROM that supports this?
Hope this helps
Thanks ashleyayling...Kind of halped but didnt cheer me up...if I understant well its all about missing HID in official ROM, right? With it it should be working? And all the third partys Roms do have the HID?

Can I ask what Android version and software number you are using?
Menu > Settings > About phone > Software Version
Sure - its version 2.2, SN - 1.32.405.6
for completeness - my reason for not changing ROM isnt that dont know how, but simply dont want to...but if its required...been using WM for years and now jumbed to Android and dont know all stuff. So your iterest is very kind...and appreciated...
Same problem here. I bought Freedom Pro bluetooth keyboard, I managed to connect it TO DHD official ROM with third party drivers found on otadrivers.com. However these drivers have limitedbuiltin keybord layouts (English, Deutsch, Korean), but I need Czech layout with special characters and there is no way user can create customer layouts. For me the only way is CM7 ROM with working HID profile, and then editing keychar files in order to create Czech layout for the keyboard.
Hopefully guys from Revolution HD ROM will implement bluetooth HID profile into their ROM.
My 2 cents.
iGo keyboard works fine for me...
Hi all,
I use an iGo keyboard with my Desire HD; it works a treat. However, it won't work with a stock HTC rom; I run Cyanogen however and this works without any extra software required.
I recently tried the keyboard on my sisters Desire HD; she's not rooted or the like and has via OTA updates got it on the latest official HTC rom. Still won't work there, so evidently still an HTC stock limitation...
Connect Bluetooth keyboard to Desire HD via HID
Finally I found a way how to natively connect bluetooth keyboard to HTC Desire HD.
I was looking for ROM with Sense with bluetooth HID support, but there were only CM7 ROM without Sense. Also Revolution HD ROM was with Sense, but doesnt include HID support.
Finally found it, this ROM
[ROM][Aug 29][ACE] Virtuous Unity 2.35.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid is based on official ROM from Pyramid, includes Sense, and I was able to connect my bluetooth keyboard via HID.
Voila.
Now I will be able to change keychars files in order to change keybord layout from English to Czech.
bluetooth keybord czech layout
So finally made it to change layout of external bluetooth keyboard to Czech.
In case of Virtuous Unity ROM mapping of external HID keyboard is located in the following file
Code:
/system/usr/keychars/BT_HID.kcm.bin
.
In the attachment you will find edited file for Czech keyboard - QWERTZ including mapping of all czech characters. What i didnt make is Acute - when u press a key "ˇ" - and keyboard is waiting for next character (for example D) and then outputing acuted character (Ď). Acute characters (ˇ´) are mapped to keys but after pressed they dont wait for next character. I have to work on that.
You can push it to device by adb
Code:
adb push BT_HID.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/
I m using Freedom Pro keyboard but any bluetooth keyboard should work.
Can somebody do something about hw language support?the only language you can write is english and you cant select another one using hw keyboard,in cm i had the choice to change but i got too many issues so i restore to stock.
