I am using this, I have to say it is much much better when using the hard keys. No need to press Shift or Control anymore! Like typing on the Treo...
It was a chore setting up the key mapping, but it works perfectly afterwards.
Let me know if anyone want the key map to Att Tilt.
I have been looking for the key mapping forever for this app
please post the keymap for the ATT Tilt for the MagiKB 1.1 program. I came from a Treo 750 to a Tilt and it was the one program that I missed using (did NOT wanna set up all the mapping - wasn't quite sure how). Thanx
Looks nice really.
great program - please post the mapping
+1 post the mapping!!!
Att Tilt Keymap
Well, here is the key maps.
Please note, I am using a ATT TILT, with OEM ROM, without the Cingular addons, but if yours is not a TILT, then you might need a corresponding key map set up if the hardkeys are different from the TILT.
Also, I set up the key mapping so that only the keys with LETTERS will be used (when holding down, or double clicking). That means, for the symbol "," and "." and "$" you will still have to press the Fn key.
I can always change the mapping to whatever suits you, or you can do it yourself....
Install MagiKB first, then move this .lay file to your My Documents\MagiKB Lite folder. Then you can select the key map from MagiKB program.
thanks a lot - a great help
Could you please re-post the tilt keymap download link. Other link doesn't seem to be working. Thanks for the hard work on it.
EDIT: Sorry, got it. Thanks again.
you mentioned there's a difference between the Tilt? Would there be a difference to stock Kaiser then?
I have an ATT Tilt, so I don't know if the keyboard layout is exactly the same as an Unbranded Kaiser (I don't have a unbranded kaiser to look at).
If the keyboard layout is the same, then the key map should work.
Nevermind. It works.
Does anyone know how to capture the key for the left arrow/comma on the tilt? I would like to map it to the comma, but it's not in this key map file.
Adding additional key mapping to MagiKB ?

Solved/ignore; Can you explain how to map the directional arrow keys and their Fn counterparts? I like the way MagiKB simplifies capitalization and the Number Pad especially, but would like the WIN key mapped to "CTRL" - makes copy, cut and paste much easier.

OMG, this has got to be the best tip ever!
Entering items such as the "?" were always the one thing I hated about the keyboard (I came from a Treo 750). Now thanks to you I LOVE the keyboard
Thank you very much!
Thanks again!!
No problem, I came from a Treo 650, so the Tilt's keyboard bothered me too. This makes the transition to a Tilt so much smoother.
About the key maps, I am currently away from the country and unable to play with the keymaps, but I will be back home in 2 weeks.
I might get a chance to play with it here, in which case I'll post an update.
Sorry!
Anyone tried Magikb with WM 6.1? Installs, looks fine, but none of the commands work. Am I missing something?

After installation, select a proper key map from menu or edit the current key map.
Hi:
I was using this layout and program and LOVED it. The only problem is that after upgrading to WM6.1 (official ATT), The layout will no longer appear, when I go to select a layout.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!!

Yeah because the layout was stored in My Documents\MagiKB Lite in phone memory by upgrading to wm6.1 you deleted that folder with the layout in it.
Download the layout again and put it to the above-mentioned folder.
I need some special help here, please.
In older PPC models (Cingular 8125/8525 and Sprint PPC 6700), it was possible to type accented characters by pressing the unaccented character and then holding down Fn and pressing Spacebar until the desired character was displayed. On the Tilt, the Symbols keystroke has been changed to Fn+OK (I can live with that), but now instead of cycling through the relevant accented characters, we get a SIP full of irrelevant symbols and we have to scroll until we find the desired one.
This new method is inconvenient for those of us bilingual folks who frequently type in a non-English language, but more important, this method is not compatible with screen reader programs for the blind, as keyboard focus remains on the document and the user is expected to tap symbols via the touchscreen.
I've read somewhere that the TyTN II uses the old-school method (Fn+OK/Sym) to cycle through the relevant accented characters. Short of reflashing a Tilt with a TyTN II ROM, is there some registry setting we can tweak to get the Tilt to use the traditional symbols behavior?
BUMP. Anyone? Please.
yea i would like to see this happen too. it annoys the hell out of me when im typing in a web address and i try to do it the old school style to get my forward slash
Figured it out.
HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Keybd
Setting for the value CWSLayout should be changed from 1 to 0.
This sets the Tilt to use the keyboard layout of the TyTN II, which means some symbols have different placement. I'm OK with that as now I'm happily typing on my Tilt's QWERTY keyboard without language constraints.

The forward slash / is Fn+R on mine. It was before I made the layout change and it still is on the same place.
Not sure where exactly a post like this should go.
Anyway I have been looking all over the place for an application like this
http://www.geekandproud.net/software/keycaps600.php
For a kaiser. More specifically an ATT TILT keyboard layout.
Pretty much what it does is, if you hit the hard keyboard button once it acts normal. If you hit it twice (quickly) it does whatever function + that key would be. And if you press and hold it, it capitalizes the letter for you.
I had this on all my Treos, and it was the best thing ever.
I searched and found one application that says it can do 4 things per key, but after further investigation it seems like you can only map apps to the keys and specific macros made by the dev.
Anyone ever see an application like this for a TILT?

Not sure if it your s/w is different, mines a Vodafone v1615, if you press the Cap button quickly twice the cap light will stay lit and text will be in caps until you press the caps button a 3rd time to cancel it, if that is what your asking?
You are right you can use the fn, caps, and shift keys. However if I am typing anything that has any sort of capitals that are not at the start of words, it slows my typing down a lot. Always moving back to the fucntion key. I can type prolly 1/3 faster on my treo, then on my tytn II.

Get MagiKBLite. You can make your own key assignments. There is a Treo layout included, you can learn how to set up your own by looking at that. I have made a Tilt keyboard assignment layout, if you'd like to try it, then customize as you wish.
Thanks, that looks like exatcly what I was looking for.
I downloaded a hex editor and a rom and loaded the rom onto the hex editor.
But that kind of stuff is far above me.
I'm trying to edit the keyboard mapping, i need to switch some keys around.
I have the tilt, i would really like someone experienced to help me with this because my keyboard is basically useless right now, and ill have to buy a new phone if i cant fix it.
is there not a cab file to change from the tilt to the keyboard mapping you require?
The answer is...(drum roll please)..YES!
use the forum search option for "tilt keyboard fix" and you will be pleasantly surprised.
plz remember that unlike your girlfriend search will always be there for you. ;-)

lol i know theres that fix i just wasnt sure if it was tilt to kaiser one he required lol
no its not the keyboard fix i know about that. My issue is unique, i need to remap some of my letters. I'm fairly certain the issue involves modifiying a rom, it doesn't matter which, and to do this i would have to use a hex editor.

what keys do you need to remap and maybe someone will know a fix.
ok my k,n, i m, and period keys are unresponsive. this is a hardware issue, ill explain further if u want. this makes the keyboard quite useless without these keys functioning.
I never use my arrow keys so I would like to map each faulty letter key (K,n,i,n,.) to a corresponding arrow, and maybe the "ok" or "tab" button.
basically when i press left arrow, the letter p would pop up...etc
i would be truly gratified if u guys helped me fix this, because ill get a cheap unbreakable phone if the tilt wont fully work. Its been really frustrating,
how old is your kaiser?
do you have a warranty on it still?
could be easier to have it replaced.
well thats where i mentioned i could go into depth further. I cracked my screen, and replaced it myself. In the process I accidently nicked the side of the ribbon wire connecting the keyboard to the main unit. This resulted in those 5 keys becoming unresponsive.
I got the phone about 6 months ago, but the warranty was voided when i took the phone apart to replace the screen.
AE Button Mapper use google..... "Not AE Button Plus"
ok i downloaded it and got it installed but i have no clue how to use it.
theres some buttons to reassign keys however u have to press the key you want to reassign and that it not possible being that those keys are disconnected.
ok little update, i think the AEK program will work, however the first step is it has to create a chart by logging all the keys. You have to press all the keys individually and it logs them with a four digit number. For example pressing the letter "d" logs key 0044. Once all the keys are logged you can type them up in a text document and mix and match accordingly.
My obstacle is that i cannot press my keys that are unresponsive, for them to be logged. I tried to find a pattern by pressing keys around these and saw nothing that made any sense.
I'm not sure if the numerical values attached are standard for every application in the phone, or specific to the AEK program. I can't find a thread, that would list the value for those letters i can't press.
Does anyone know if there is a chart with all the values assigned to each key of the tilt?
Snowman, give me a link to this AEK program and I'll use it to log all my keys on my tilt, then perhaps we can compare them to what you have and hopefully get the missing codes for you
Moved to General.
Hex Editing a ROM file won't get what you need. I've seen people trying to patch the keyboard driver for this, but no success. Sorry, couldn't be more help .

ok thanks for the info
any news on working and which program/driver you need for it?
found one cheap and maybe could get it if it works nicely on HD2
gimme your recommendations or hates!
Yes it works,i use them both regularly.
You don't need any soft/driver,just pair it over bluetooth and you'r good to go!
how about in android? anybody know how to use the BTKB under android???
I tested on my hd2 with android ... the dinovo mini paared but not connected :-/
I will try today more ..... the dell striked works with the keyboard but I don't know how.
I think there's a solution with "BlueInput for Android" but this cost 9,99
I test the demo version .... no connect to the keyboard :-/
The Dinovo mini works perfectly. I personally use it. although i don't know about the mouse, i had an issue with a few key mappings in the start but when i flashed another rom, they disappeared and now works like a charm
It would be good to know how well the mouse works too, and what needs to be done to get it working along with the keyboard.
how do you get the dinovo mini work on android ???
With Samsung galaxy S work really fine, you must pair the device pushing the red button in the back of the keyboard(dinovo) then search for bluethoot peripherical, and select the keyboard. The phone will provide you the pin, that you will insert in the dinovo keyboard (now they are paired).
Automatically all will work, the only trouble is that i don't find any combo for activate the "menu" function. the combo ctrl-alt-canc work also as reset, now functionality of multimedia buttons.
with the fn+OK (right button) you will emulate the "back" button of the phone.
Really good product, worked fine in linux, windows and macos, without any driver or external software.
P.S. is funny to see the mouse icon in the phone
I hope that those small suggestion will help you in use this, and sorry for my bad english!
I wish somebody could tell me that this works with hd2 android..

Use BlueInput Demo or BlueKeyboard JP =D
ive been looking into this on the captivate forum and found this about changing keymappings for dinovo on android.
they changed keymappings for several android keyboard languages and an ADB script to push it to the phone. its for QWERTY dinovo and QWERTY, AZERTY & QWERTZ android layouts
http://android.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=321868&mode=linear
they mapped
Working :
- Vol Up / Down
- "Vol off" is mapped to "HOME" key
- "Record on" is mapped to "MENU" key
- bottom-right key mapped to BACK
- "Windows" key is mapped to "HOME" key
- "Control" key is mapped to "Alt left" key
- "Alt Right" key is mapped to... "Alt right" key
- "Maj left" is mapped to "Shift left" key
- "Maj right" is mapped to "Shift right" key
- All other keys should be mapped as shown on the keyboard layout.

Yes you can use, it's perfectly, but I only try in Win 6.5.

My Atrix 4G suggests only to try 0000 or 1234, but neither of those work. Further, I use the screen keyboard on the phone to insert the PIN-code, not the diNovo, since it isn't paired yet...
Did someone manage to pair their diNovo Mini with an Atrix?
read the documentation that came with the dinovo.... or download the pdf guide from logitech support,
