KEyboard Layout

I updated today my SPV M3000 from ROM version 1.3.1.11 FRA to the new official version from Orange 2.16.1.3 FRA.
All worked ok. But now the keyboard layout is wrong. When I push the key A in the screw shows the Q.
I need help to now where I can change that.

Not 100% sure if it applies to the newer rom:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Changing_Device_Language

I do that and the key "A" and "Q" work well, but the key "Y" and "Z" are wrong. And also the symbols on the keys, like @, *. etc....
I check with a lot of diferent codes but nothing positive.
I have really a big problem!!

So the reg edit there for the Locale -did- change something, at least?
If so - I guess you just need a different Locale than the 'French' one. What is the physical layout of your keyboard itself? i.e. the three rows of letters on the slide-out keyboard

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"Locale"="0407"
reset device after that.

use AEKMap

...sound logical - but where I can do registry settings on the WIZARD ? Which prog is needed ?
Hints are very welcome, cause I flashed my german version (VDA II from Vodafone) with the QTEK eng ROM and have the same problem with the keyboard layout now !
Thanks,

look for...
- PHM Regedit
- Tascal Registry Editor (TRE)
which are the two popular free ones
- Total Commander CE
has a registry editor built-in. does fast searches, but I wouldn't use it for editing much. also free
And there's a few commercial "does everything" ones that include registry editing
Other than that - if you're familiar with the registry on your desktop machine - you should be ready to go

Keyboard layout and T9 function

Hi all, just got the diamond last week, damn its nice, just the battery life sucks.
I used to own a UK T-Mobile Mda 3, loved the calender as i change shifts a lot, was looking to replace it a few months back heard tell of the diamond so decided to wait.......however...
The sms full keyboard on my old MDA3 used to allow predictive words (t9 i think) but the diamond does not seem to, I like the keyboard layout over the qwerty or comapct qwerty as they both take up too much for the screen for my taste.
The t9 does not seem to work in the keybaord layout, i think i have all the settings correct, as it works in the other 2 setups but not keybaord.
also, is there a website that lists all the compatible 6.1 programs? not sure what i want, but more like teeter would be nice, or even a different sms prog that allows predictive text!!
Cheers
Lepak

The same for me. T9 works only using qwerty layout. If you use keyboard layout predictive text doesn't work. Someone has an idea ? My rom is 1.37 from HTC official italian.
Thanks in advance

Found it ! Thanks to newtonmj in modaco forum
You must chaange the registry key XT9SupportMSSip in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\ from '0' to '1'.
This allows the predictive text to work correctly in standard keyboard too.
I don't know if this mod can "damage" other settings but I don't think. It allows the predictive input to work using microsoft standard keyboard. In my device now works !

Very nice. I think I'll try it. But I wanted that worked correctly standard keyboard without adding third part software. What is standard in my device MUST work correctly. Then perhaps I'll not use it, but this is another thing
I'm paranoic. But I can't accept that a phone worth about 500€ does't go in the appropriate way......

Texting with one hand

Hi, do you have a problem when you need to type text message but only one hand is free? Standard on screen keyboard has to small letters, for me it is impossible to use hardware keyboard with one hand. It will be great to install keyboard which will mimic standard mobile phone keyboard one click on 1 will type a, two clicks b, and so on… and which will cover half of screen similar to keyboard which pop ups when you are calling someone.
It will be great if someone posts link where I can download that additional keyboard for wm6.1
Thanks

Your Solution

Have Fun, Its free.
Just install cab, restart phone and then select PCM Keyboard from drop up menu for keyboard.
Any Probs, Message Me.

there are a lot of keyboard you could use for your device. All you have to do is a small and simple search with google, altavista or if you prefer in this forum too.
btw, you can look for Cooteck Touchpal, PocketCm, Resco Keyboard, Spb Keyboard and of course the one extracted from Diamond (P1TATER or similar)
good luck and sorry for bad english.
fausto

Sorry to say it, but for one hand operation I don't think anything beats the standard cell phone hardware keypad.

there is this HTC keypad.cab..that looks like the conventional cellphone keypad hardware..im still looking for it too

Check out the Touchpal keyboard before you make your decision once you get used to it you can type faster with one hand then some people with two.

Just wanted to say thanks. I hated this type of keyboard with it no individual key layout when I tried a similar version before. BUt this one is great.Takes some getting used to but I going to give it a week and see how it goes.
Many thnks!

No problem once I got used to it there is no comparison I hardly even use the hardware keyboard because it is slower than Touchpal. Good Luck
-McMex

what do you guys think about the Resco Keyboard Pro. I have been using that and seems ok.

All apologies for the unintentional hijack, but I installed PCM Keyboard and also Touch Diamond Keyboard, but now word completion no longer works. They work great, but I checked word completion settings and it is set, but no longer suggests words. Is this normal?

I found it to be the best. I downloaded some nicer iSkin layouts

Every time I try to use the PocketCM, nothing happens when I change to it in the menu where I can select which entry type I want.....what am I doing wrong?

I have used all other keyboards including Resco etc but I have found that SPB Keyboard is now the best. It has an option to have the keyboard in landscape mode and it becomes very big, enabling one to type with one hand very easily. Try it out. It also has many skins available for download from SPB's site.

i agree spb keyboard is great, but how do you make it as the default keyboard? it seems that after a soft reset the keyboard goes to the orig. one and have to select spb KB again.

I tried all keyboards and didn't like any. Then I found "EZ input". It works best for me.

try/google for SPB KEYBOARD v4.x
in my opinion, the best keyboard i've ever tested (and i've tested a lot of..)!
unfortunately it isn't freeware.. but the money worth(?) it

If you activate the Spb Keyboard, Tap on the sip arrow, go to Spb Keyboard Options>System tab then check box to make it default keyboard. Then it is always there even after soft resets. There are also several different skins to download for free from Spb's site. My favourites are skin4 and stainless. I use skin4 all the time now because keys are nice and big for my fingers.

hi, thanks for the response.
i did that already and even in the input method but every after soft reset the keyboard is the one appearing and not the spb KB, i have to select it again.

FingerTouch v1.0
I found FingerTouch v1.0 and I think Is´s better then SPB Keybord, because FingerTouch have relly big buttons and with this keybord is relly possible to write with one hand during walking. If I were you I would try It because It´s excelent keybord. It has 4 or 5 types of keybords and you can download a lot of skins.

Hardware Keyboard - Keymapping is COMPLETELY off...

I own an AT&T Fuze but since I'm not with AT&T and I'm with T-Mobile, I flashed to the HTC 1.90.405.1 ROM. Now don't get me wrong... With few exceptions, this ROM is actually almost exactly what I was looking for.
My main MAJOR problem is that my hardware keyboard mapping is completely off. I can type text but formatting characters such as "-" and "?" and "_" and the Fn and Caps keys and even numbers (0-9) are not mapped correctly and so I can't figure out how to type properly on this keyboard.
My question: Does a cab file exist that fill fix this so that the keyboard will be mapped correctly?

you need to install the fuze keyboard cab. Search for it.

Thank you so much. I'm going to use this until I can get the money together and then I'm just going to change the hardware keyboard keys to the ones from the actual HTC Touch Pro.
Then I will never have to worry about it again.
Thanks again bro.

lol your welcome. I dont know i like having this keyboard layout better than the original touch pro because i noticed that i used the symbols a lot more than i do numbers when i am typing a text or email or notes.

Finnish/Swedish keyboard layout for HTC Touch Pro

Hi.
If you need Finnish or Swedish keyboard layout for your Touch Pro download it here.
Install to device -> soft reset.
- ä = Fn + a
- ö = Fn + o
- å = Fn + p

IMBA! ill try it out now

Thats for t9. It does not help making the Hardware keyboard make åäö.
Im using Nrg Rom and if your nor suplied with the swedish flies this does not work...
t9 works fine thoe. but nothing allse.

The hardware keyboard is a easy regedit to make it swedish,
HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\
Change CurLang to 1044 and softreset for swedish hardware keys.

your not lissning. even thoe i do that with the nrg rom you still dint get the åäö to show upp! like i said. in all the software modes when using the screen too klick it works without a problem.
But as soon as a switch over and open upp the hardware keyboard it will not typ åäö. If i do Fn + O for exampleall it does is make a normal o...

no problems for me using the same rom, you did install the touch pro keyboard cab right?

Or my newest creation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3512681

Hi there m8. Even with your program it still does not help me. If you open upp my Phne and start using my Hardware keyboard with the nrg rom it wont make Ö when i do FN + O....
I just get a normal o.
So im not doing anything wrong and what it seems is that everyone does not understand that this is not the REGISTRY that is the problem. Or if the keyboard is set to fuzz or HTC keyboard.
It seems as if the Swedish files are not in Nrgs rom so ÅÄÖ wont show no matter what registry fixes you do.
So i think that what is needed is the Swedish files in order for this to work. NOT any registry fixes... Do you understand my problem now?
Cause i used your program. I have tried about 5 diffrent regfiles witch realy does about the same thing
and as i see your program is allso just a reg changer that changes the curlang 2 = 41d
Witch beliave me or not its set 2 and i still only get a o when typing FN + O witch should then become a Ö

what version of the nrg rom are you using?
i have ran 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.0 (1.8) and all of them are fully capable of running the Swedish hardware keyboard.
install the touch pro keyboard cab located in the nrg rom thread softreset, change curlang to 1044, softreset and thats it.
Im not sure what files you are after, i can´t recall that i have ever read about any language files for the hardware keyboard, T9 yes not not hardware keys.
if you are running the 2.x series im am fully willing to flash my rom and try the exact same think since im confident that it will work.
Please answer this question:
Did you or did you not install the touch pro keyboard cab for the nrg rom?

Use 2.0 and used the keyboard changer thats in the rom.

???
Hi.
I have used that cab with almost every EnergyROM version there has been (including betas) and that cab has always worked fine. I also tried one 6.5 version and this cab was not working with it - allthough, I did not try very hard...
Things I do:
- change regional settings -> Finnish
- change keyboard layout to Touch Pro
- install the cab
- soft reset
=> now it should work...

@6sto
Tried to do exactly what you wrote, but without success.
I am using EnergyROM Series 2.0 Build 32409

Ouch
Sorry to hear that it didn't work. I apologize but I can't help you any more with this. I hope we have much better helpers here in XDA-developers. Can you help with this issue? Everything is working OK with my Touch Pro!

Hey, have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496876

I figured it out.
The danish keyboard layout and norwegian is the same. So if I choose norwegian it works

not sure what to say, just flashed the latest nrg 2.0 as i promised, changed keyboard with the provided tool, power cycled like i was prompted to do, changed curlang to 1044 and softreset, and now i have my Swedish hardware keyboard.

Do you realy have ÅÄÖ visual when typing FN + o on the hardware keyboarD? i failt do think you do that. on t9 yeh. but not on the hardware keyboard.

And with Nrg rom 2.0 i changed to nor fin swe dk well all but still when typing fn+o i get = o.
And used the keyboard program so its Htc keyboard and not fuzz. Nothing will do it it seems.

Yes, i dont use T9 at all, only hardware keyboard.
Please write in detail what you are doing after you hardreset your device.
follow the steps like both i and others have written in this thread, dont skip any steps and it will work for you.

you do change the regkey to 1044 in decimal value and softreset after you change the keyboard layout to touch pro right?
in the 2.0 all you need to do is change to touch pro keyboard and then change curlang to 1044 decimal value and softreset, that is it.
im not sure how to help you, i even flashed the 2.0 to test it for you, no problems at all, i honestly suggest you start looking at what you are or are not doing compared to the guides.
Follow the guides we wrote for you and it WILL work.
Good luck.

It is acualy as you say. If you direcly after installing the rom do as you say it will work. BUT here comes the tricky part.
What if you want both the hardware keyboard to work. And the t9?
Cause id realy like to have the phone as it is in the swedish vertion. Were both are working.
Cause as of now i know how to get either t9 or hardware keyboard working but not both.
Anyone that knows a solution to getting the t9 in swedish when you have hardware working?
