If you want to easily customize your own keyboard AND you're using the MDA Vario, the .xls file has the keyboard codes. I don't have the I-Jam or Qtek so I don't know what's printed on their slide-out keyboards, but it's possible that the key position and its corresponding code are the same across all branded HTC Wizards.
The creator of AEK has a bunch of layout maps for the MDA Vario on his website:
http://ae.inc.ru/aekmaplayout.php
I based my own custom layout on Peter Kaszanics's "Greman, HTC Wizard with QWERTZ keyboard" layout. Basically, I added:
; QWERTZ --> QWERTY
; transposed _ and -
; added \ symbol, mapped to SHIFT+DOWN key
; added ° degree symbol mapped to SHIFT+OK key
; ' apostrophe mapped to SHIFT+LEFT ARROW
; ?smiley face to DOT+OK
; ^ to SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW
; ± to SHIFT+BACKSPACE
Now, if anyone has a Vietnamese character layout, that would be da bomb! AEK is a really cool tool - I'll probably activate my copy.
Enjoy!

I made this Wizard Italian Keyboard Layout for AEKMap with accented characters mapping because I installed an WM5 AKU 3.3 Rom in my Italian Wizard and i could not use accented characters.
I hope it is bug free, only two characters have strange mapping now:
- = (shift+win)
_ = (AccentKey+X)
Other characters work well, you can continue using Ok,Win & Tab.
Make me know if is there any bug.
Bye
Revision N.1
Bug found/fixed: you could only use X & _ but not x.
Hello,
could you please help me out with a problem that you clearly solved? Since there is not much documentation on AEKmap, I can not use it.
My desperate need is for the Excalibur (Dash, Cosmo). It does not have German Umlauts on hw keys. I want to reprogram it like this.
Best case: Use FN-key (code 00EC)
Key "a" pressed: a, Key FN, then "a": Umlaut-a (ä), Key FN twice, then "a": the symbol that is blue on key "a".
If that can not be done, I have a keycode (00F1) of another hw key that I could use to get Umlaut-a.
I have trouble defining this stuff, it does not accept Accentkey2 to be defined. I do not know how to load, when I need soft reset, how to switch between layouts etc. In fact, I can not even do the simplest remapping.
I know this is asking a lot, but there is no description on the web how to use this potentially powerful tool. Could you please write a few lines? I take it from there.
Thanxx, Mixx

I don't use it anymore,anyway try writing this in a .aek file:
Layout yourLayout
Hint YourLayout
AccentKey 007A ;Blue dot + space
AccentKey2 007A ;(Blue dot + space) x 2 times
key 0041 c0061 c00E4 c00E4 ; a ä ä
In this case I use "ä" two times, you can substitute the second one with the Unicode key of that symbol,i don't know what do you have as blue symbol on "a",on my layout I have "!" that is c0021.
The syntax is c+Unicode.
The first one, without the c, is what do you want substitute.
Put comments after ";" .
Try this or modify it and let me know.

Hi there!
I've been searching the 'net for a few hours now and have read various posts on the subject but nothing seems to work on my O2 XDA Stellar (Tytn II)
I'm trying to get the UK layout on the software keyboard...
eg.
Numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 with 'shift' becomes
UK Symbols ! " £ $ % ^ & * ( ) instead of the US version which is
US Symbols ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )
I've created the Locale DWordValue 0x809 (2057) in HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and have selected CurLang 0x809 (2057) in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI.
I've also copied the contents from HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts 00000409 and e0010409 keys and pasted them into new 00000809 and e0010809 keys, changing the LayoutTest in 00000809 to 'UK' and changing KeyboardLayout in e0010809 to 00000809.
I then change HKCU\keyboard layout\Preload (default) setting from e0010409 to e0010809 and then HKCU\keyboard layout\1 (default) setting from e0010409 to e0010809.
When I soft reset, I can enter my password and SIM passcode with no problems (the software keyboard displays the standard US layout), but when the home screen appears, all hardware buttons cease to work and the software keyboard is still is the US locale.
This didn't used to be so bad on my previous XDA (Mini S - Wizard) as it had a hardware mapping for the UK pound (£) sign on the V key on hardware keyboard, unfortunately the Stellar (Tytn II) doesn't have this
Any idea's?
Kind regards
Paul D
<Bump>
Surely someone on here has some experience of this???!!!
Kind regards

Hi Paul,
You could try this
If you use the "Default" skin you get a keyboard like the one below

* Update Nov. 12. 2008 (missing file in zip)
I have made this thread because I spent some time searching for the keyboard mapping (kmap) of my HTC S730 phone (Wings). A guy named bigflavor pointed me in the right direction, so here we go.
The kmap is a file you use to set up the correct mapping between the slideout keyboard on the phone and the actual characters that comes out when you press the keys.
0106, 0406, 0706 - this is all for Danish, i.e. the "06" (http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx).
For Danish keymapping:
The zip file contains 3 files
eT9.Wings.0406.kmap.txt
eT9.Dis.9Keys.Danish.Kbd.dll
eT9.Danish.Ldb.dll
1. Connect your Windows Mobile to your PC via the USB-cable.
2. Extract all files into the \\Windows folder on your HTC S730.
3. Open up your Mobile Registry Editor and add the following 5 key/value pairs to the Registry of your HTC S730.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\AvailableLanguages
Add 0106
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KdbDlls
Add 00010606 = eT9.Dis.9Keys.Danish.Kbd.dll
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouDlls
Add 00000706 = eT9.Wings.0406.kmap.txt
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\LanguageKeyboardIDMapping
Add 0106 = 0706
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\LdbDlls
Add 0106 = eT9.Danish.Ldb.dll
- you're done - have fun
You should make a wiki entry, and link it off the WM 6 standard page and the Wings main page. I've been maintaining the Wings main page for some time, trying to update it as more things pop up.
Where can I find other language packs?

You'll find it (eT9 Lang Pack) at http://www.modaco.com/content/vox-vox-modaco-com/254428/pauls-vox-et9-language-pack/ or http://melgurth.ovh.org/index.php?page=downloads (T9 Lauguage Pack)
Oh, thanks, but it's the XT9 pack... I already have the other one and it works, but the problem is the QWERTY keyboard layout - when I press fn+m, for example, the apostrophe should come out - the semicolon does instead.
I've included my hardware layout pic - seems it's norwegian or something like that o.o
I'd be satisfied with working other or english layout, it's only important to me if the corresponding keys will work as they should

try using the Tilt keyboard fix to fix it! you can get it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
I have been looking in the forum for a solution for the Tilt keyboard. Everytime I ask, someone usually responds pointing me to the Tilt Keyboard Fix cab, that was posted by Taurus Bulba. Installing the cab results in the keyboard being mapped with the ATT layout (enables the CWS layout in the registry). This makes every fn key work as it should, but it kills the Fn+Space combination.
When you key Fn and Space after a character, the characters changes as per what is defined in sym049.txt (or whatever symxxx.txt file you have in the windows directory, depending on your language).
For example, if you type an "a", press Fn and Space, you get an á, then à, and â, etc. Same with other characters. This is important for those that write in foreign languages that require accents or special characters like ñ, ç, € (Euro currency sign), "£" (British pound sign), and any other letter with an accent.
I think the issue is with the CWS layout (CWS being Cingular/ATT). That layout doesn't have the Fn+Space in it; the Hermes keyboard had a blue "á" and "ü" written on the top left corner of the Space bar, indicating that Fn and Space will result in accentuated characters. The Tilt doesn't have those and in fact, when you install an original ATT Rom (no need for keyboard fix there), the Fn+Space combination doesn't work.
The only way I've seen to get Fn-Space back to life is NOT to use the CWS layout. Using any non ATT Rom will allow you to get Fn-Space working, but at the cost of getting many of the other Fn keys mapped wrong: for example, the "!" and the "@" are swapped, the ";" gives you a "%", and so on.
Sounds like the solution would be a keyboard layout that is 99% like the CWS layout, but that adds the Fn-Space combination.
Any suggestions?
You could have just used the other thread my friend.

Yes, but not getting any attention on that one...
Fixing "Fn Space" feature
This kills the word suggestion feature, but enables you to use the FN-Space function again:

You see...i'm all over the place on this issue...
It's making me going crazy...
As per my experience, there's a simple option to change in order to adapt your physical keyboard layout to you system. At least, this is easily done on my pc.
But, what about my Kaiser?
I have a AT&T Tilt Kaiser, with AT&T keyboard layout (the one with grey numpad).
But I have an Italian Rom (Shifu WM6.5 V4.2).
Italian keyboard has the same AT&T layout, except for some symbol position: as an example, when I press FN+D, I expect character ":" (double dot) to be inserted into the window, while I obtain a "%" character instead...
I tried "advanced config"and changed input->Keyboard layout to AT&T/Cingular, with no effect...
So, to be syntetic: Where is the option to change the keyboard layout?

Yeah, after a soft-reset it worked!
