[Q] Fire TV stick: Alternate Keyboard layout/language? - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there
I successfully installed settings.apk and was able to pair a bluetooth keyboard. Now I'd like to change the keyboard layout to Korean IME.
I was even able to sideload the Korean IME from Play Store as an apk. But unfortunately the settings-app is stopping when I try to access
the Language & Input settings.
The question is: Did anyone manage to get the Language & Input setting working or does anyone know a way for installing and using different keyboard languages?
Kind regards
Tremzoff

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.

[Q] hack built-in addon dictionary

Hello, how are you?
It seems that it is possible to add news dictionaries on ICS for the built-in keyboard, but my language is not available for download.
(In Settings > Language & input > Android keyboard settings > Add-on dictionaries, My language is not available to download).
I noticed that the Galaxy Nexus available in my country does have a dictionary add-on for my language installed, thus I was wondering whether it is possible to hack it and install it on my phone.
I mean, now there is a Galaxy Nexus available in my country and It does have a dictionary for my language installed on the built-in keyboard, Is it possible to hack(find out where this dictionary is installed and copy it) to install it on another phone?
I appreciate any help you can give me
someone?

I found the way by myself
I think the other language could work also.
1. install setting.apk
2. Amazon keyboard popup disable
adb shell
su
pm disable com.amazon.tv.ime
3. Install Korean(DoDol Keyboard) keyboard from google play store
- android setting -> language input -> installed keyboard setting
4. Now I can use english and korean both...
I can't seem to use your method..
Hi kwansiky,
I was wondering if you could help me out I'm trying to use a second language on my AFTV. I've installed settings.apk as you suggested, but when I go to "Language & input" it just crashes. Anything special you did to make it work?
Thanks!
