Hello,
is it possible to switch the (german) Fire TV keyboard layout from english to german? This would make it possible to use a german keyboard and enter german special characters (Ä, Ö, Ü...) from an external keyboard, and z and y were at the correct position.
Thanks,
Wolfgang
Hello,
I have tried to send german special characters (like Ä. Ö. Ü...) via 'adb shell input text' command to my (german) Fire TV, but that does not work. Maybe this has to do with the fact that Fire TV has an english keyboard layout and so far I have not found a possibility to switch to german keyboard. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Wolfgang
Hi
i have created some german layout for the Logitech K830.
As written under hint you can try to use the kcm file as generic one or rename the files accordingly to your keyboard Product/Device ID.

Hi,
thanks for sharing the info and your files.
I am not yet decided if I want to root the AFTV, maybe I give that a try next weekend.
Regards,
Wolfgang

I develop alternative software keyboard to Fire TV and Fire TV stisk - Fire TV Style keyboard. I can add any layout on the keyboard, I also try to implement the German keyboard layout for the hardware keyboard. While you can try to modify another keyboard for a hardware keyboard. All this should work without Root permission. If you are interested in this - contact me via private messages.

Hi
If somebody has physical keyboard connected via Bluetooth to XOOM please check is it possible somehow to use 2 different languages on it. And how to switch between it.
Normally I use 2 virtual keyboard English and Russian one, but I'm thinking to buy Motorola Bluetooth keyboard to type letter and etc. I know that on Moto keyboard only English alphabet, but it's easy to make engraving on it to have 2 languages, so I need only to check is it working or not.
As I know original Moto keyboard somehow could have only English language (even when you set language strictly to russian. The on screen keyboard will show Russian keyboard, but when you will touch the physical keyboard it automatically just types the English letters). So is it possible to change somehow?
Which virtual keyboard you're using for Russian? I've tried SmartKeyboard Pro, but the layout is not that good...

I use standard virtual Honeycomb keyboard)) But know I prefer to use bluetooth keyboard
I figured out how to use native keyboard after posting
I believe the regular keyboard will work once we figure out how to set Locale to Russian as well. I know Russian is supported by Honeycomb, but by default only English and Spanish are the options. Anyone knows how to enable other locales?
Tablet keyboard
i use an on screen r virtual kwyboard on my zoom that i downloaded from the market. it is call "Tablet Keyboard" made by "Pretty Easy" ther isa free onethat i tested out and it was great. it has an option to use a full keyboard or it split the keyboad in half with one half on the left for the left tumb, and the other half on the right. it also works in connection with the build in keyboard onmy zoom. so there always the option in th lower right hand near the time where you can switch between the two keyboards if you like. you do have to check the boxx in keyboard setting to make it active. i think they even have a paid version for only ¢99.

I know such app, but I'm trying to find answer is it possible to connect Bluetooth keyboard to Motorola XOOM and use it with 2 languages. Like it's possible in virtual. Right know I got answer from Motorola support that their Bluetooth keyboard support only English language, also I got the same reply form one of the owner of such keyboard.
Now I'm trying to find solution to print on 2 languages English and Russia from any Bluetooth keyboard that could be connect to Motorola XOOM.

Try this:
Select Russian virtual keyboard as input and start typing on Bluetooth keyboard. I think it should type in Russian... But I don't have a keyboard to try it. Mine should be here in a few days, I'll give it a shot.

One owner of Moto keyboard and XOOM tired and told. Even if you have only one language Russian, the Moto Bluetooth keyboard still type on the English language(
But if you will get it, try to click SHIFT+CTRL or SHIFT+ALT (if you have such keys on the keyboard), may be it will recognize it. I read somewhere that Moto keyboard support hot command like CTRL+C or V to copy and past command. So may be it will change language of keyboard like a normal PC.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
Devices: FireTV with actual firmware (non root) and K830 keyboard.
Works flawless (keyboard an mouse), but ...
I got german keyboard layout and the layout in FireTV is english.
Its ok, but it would be much better to get a german keyboard layout.
Any ways to get that without root (or even with root, although i guess its impossible to get it for me)?
Thanks in advance.
I actually have a question about logitech k830 itself.
Does it work without any issue with Amazon Fire TV?

Hallo
an app in Kodi installed another virtual keyboard over the original fire tv one.
This layout has no signs and i see no way to change it to the original one. :crying:
I changed the layout from german to english but it has the same result.
Is there a way to get the original layout at my box?

The keyboard has changed to qwerty in Kodi, switch back to the default skin named Confluence.
And encourage the skin maker of the skin you are using to update it for Kodi.
Anyways not FireTV related at all.

Was it the overall aFTV keyboard that went blank.
The one you use in FireOS and not Kodi? Or both? And are you rooted?
The reason I'm asking is that a addon or skin change in Kodi can not break anything else but the keyboard in Kodi because these are 2 different keyboards one buildin to Kodi the other is a Android service. Maybe by accident some app disabled the Android keyboard service but that should still leave you with a keyboard in Kodi if you use a compatible skin. The reason I am asking is because I thought what happened was the other way around ie. no Kodi keyboard only. That and I'm curios because it sounds odd and I like troubleshooting.
Anyway glad you got it working, although you had to factory reset.
Hi guys,
I have a simple question. I couldn't find the the answer in google. Does amazon fire phone (with fire OS 3.6.8) support polish language? I mean both display and keyboard input. I would be graceful if you could check it for me in your device.
Thanks in advance

There is no Polish support for the system language. However, there is a polish keyboard supported. It's not available onboard but all you need is to download it from the download more language buttons
same as my mother tongue, Vietnam
