How change keyboard layout

Hi guys - I flashed my German Vodafone VPA compact II with the new Qtek ROM (incl.AKU2) 2.17.7.2 WWE. I love it, it works perfect - but there is only one problem : how can I change to the German keyboard layout (QWERTZ; the symbol layout (reachable with the red key) is also completely different from the US one !) ???
I already tried to modify the registry keys (HKCU/keyboard layout and HKCU/Control panel/keybd) but without any effect - the device stays with US keyboard layout !
Can somebody help me ??
Thanx
Joe

same problem here
the often posted reg edits don't seem to work on new rom.
please help
Regards,
Andreas

ah well.. wait for the new German ROM then I guess
/me hates on localization some

Keyboard layout
The issue is, that I will have the operating system all in english, but change only the locale for the German keyboard mapping ! Is it not possible to extract the ROM, patch the keybord table and then flash it back ?? I guess that they have removed the other mappings due to size problems and thats the reason why the reg settings don't work :?
Joe

I hope it is possible to change with some registry edits

OK, after reading more carefully all the other postings, finally I got it !
How to make it :
Insert a new key(MUST be string type NOT Dword !!) 'Locale' under HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd. The value is then '0407' (this is for a German keyboard layout). After that do a soft reboot (switching device off/on with the power on/off switch) - works great. The only thing that remains unsolved, is the ability of typing 'umlaut'; i.e. [a]+[red key]+[space bar] should give 'ä' but results in 'à'.
When somebody has also a solution for this, let us now
Joe

the Umlaute are stated in the sym.txt in your windows folde. Just edit 'em or use my language pack for there are more "bugs" for Germans using english ROMs (e.g. Transcriber, autocomple,..)

keyboard error y and z button

hi,
i installed molski aku 3.2 rom few days ago. it was working good but i realized that when i press z button it writes y, and when i press y button it writes z. then i installed aku 3.3 but it didnt work i mean i have same problem. i also installed RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE but nothings change.
so i need your help

Keyboard
You need to remap your keyboard. You can use a registry edidtor, but I don't remember the reg. value. It depends of your wizard. Where is it from. For example i got mine from france and the letters are not "qwerty" but "azerty" That thing don't bother me tough, coz I have english keyboard and I know where to find the keys.

Edit registry key \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ and change String Key called "Locale" to "0409"

mine is form germany o2 xda mini s. and i use english rom and have qwerty keybord on my xda.
have you seen remapping registry in any forum offcourse about keyboard pls tell me
sorry i saw reply by baarod a little bit late. im trying whay you say tnx

tnx baarod but it changes nothing. still same

What AKU are you on now? If >=3.0 then you must use the new IME reg patches. I don't have a WM5 device here now as all mine are testing WM6 but from what I remember this patch should work.

aku 3.3 installed on my device. i added all in text to regestry. but still same.
when xda mini s came to me a german rom was installed but i dont know did i have same problem in german rom. do you think installing any german rom can fix it

use aekmap to install the german keyboard settings
http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
they have free layouts for the wizard in german.

And did a soft reset?
That should change the keyboard layout for either AKU. You could also try to download http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php but I'm pretty sure it does the same things.

yes i did soft reset after all changes. bye the way i installed aekmap but
now im downloading a german rom if it fix or not i inform you tnx a lot

i cant believe this. i installed german rom everything ok. then i installed english rom i have same problem still keyboard error. im hating bill gates much more then before

ok i used the reg wizard, use the english tab. but now the damn clock wont show on the screen. help

hustle can you send reg wizard. coz i dont need clock on screen

Hi
Thxs to Pencilcase,
I read this thread as I have a German T-Mobile HTC PU10 MDA that I upgraded the rom to 1.30.68 WWE. This worked quite well for me but mapped my Keybaord to QWERTY rather than what it is QWERTZ. ie Y and Z swapped along with variuos FN kys changed. I have been luiving with it for almost a year. I just follow Pencilcases instrcctions below and downloaded aekmap (free) and the English-Gernan Key borad and now Z and Y are in the right places (still some FN not were they should be but I am ging to work on correcting that. Do it yourself instructions for modifying layouts are included.
Thanks Pencilcase
Nigel

I want to put my keyboard in Spanish under WM6 and the old locale string in registry doesn't work.
It seems it uses this new IME reg, so I think applying this should work... the only thing is that I don't have the kbdsp.dll for the Spanish language.
Somebody know how to get it? I have found a version of it, but for XP. Do you think it will work in WM6?

Opal Keyboard Suite Fixed

So, I got it finaly working!!
I Wanted to use the Opal eT9 Keyboard Suite in my WWE Rom for quite some time now, but the T9 Menu with FN+Space maked it for me unuseable, because I need the function to produce ü,ä,ö for writing in German!!!!
I tried to make a fix cab but it didn't work...
So i made a cab with the Entire Suite which forwards the Original Funktion of the Fn-Space Key!
Many Thanks to DupinBJK for its original HTC Opal EzInput QVGA Project and MBarvian for his Keyboard Suite which i modified!!!

Hey dude,
Let me explain you what I did:
1- installed a wwe rom as you said;
2- went to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281 and downloaded [Full Keyboard] - phones with full HW keyboard (cab here http://www.4shared.com/file/65653543/320f3183/BJK_HTC_EzInput_QVGA_FullKbd_0409-RC1.html ) and installed the language from the same post (cab here http://www.4shared.com/file/65653788/aec7369/BJK_HTC_EzInput_QVGA_LPack_PT-RC1.html )
I can now use that nice keyboard, but when I slice hardeware keyboard, before if I want to do a "á" I should write "a" and the click fn-space to choose à, á, ä, etc.
After install those cabs and do the fn-space combination I get a menu to choose T9 portuguese, abc, choose language of the keyboard, t9 settings and about t9.

you can try the Fix now (first post), hope it works for you!!

Switching the hadrware-keyboard layout from German to English

Hi,
I just installed a german ROM on my english TyTN II, so the hardware keyboard is set to german. I've only found cabs to switch from english to german but not the other way...
I also found that:
changing HKLM|Hardware|DeviceMap|Keybd > CurLang to your CountryID
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But in my registry there is no 'CurLang'-value at that path.
Have I to set value by my self, or is there an other way to switch the layout back?
Maybe someone got an ideae
Greetings Oli
P.S.: I use the "M-Diamond v1.4 Full with SqlCE Mobile 3.5" (WM 6.1) ROM

Hi, welcome to XDA !
This topic has be adressed already. Addtionnaly, it is recommended to post in the thread of your ROM, as this problem could ROM specific .
If you do not have CurLang, you could try to create it (DWORD) and set the Hexadecimal value to 407 (which is the value for German layout).
Then soft reset, worth the try . If it's still not working, try searching around, you may find quickly what you want!

Yea I've been studying the keyboard related posts here before I posted the message. I only found topics that dealt with us-layout->other-layout problems and for that, there are many fixes around.
But right now I found a workaround witch worked in that post.
THIS IS NOT A TILT KEYBOARD FIX SOLUTION but a workaround for people having an original TYTN II with QWERTY hw keyboard and ROM in a differnet language. Below sample is for a German ROM flashed into a US original KAIS130:
There are few registry entries you have to change.
First set:
[HKCU\MUI]
CurLang = 1033 (or HEX 0x409) - IMPORTANT, set this first!!!
Then go to
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts]
and - to be on the save side - go through all SUB KEYS and set all "00000407" values to "00000409" (Do not rename the keys themself!)
there is still one SUBKEY which has your language written as a string:
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\0000 0407]
"Layout Text" = "German"
Change the above entry to "US", soft reset your device - done!
- - -
Just keep in mind: above sample is for a German ROM (407) - if you flashed a different language to an english device, then the "407" will be something corresponding to your language.

I don't think so - it looks like it's a full OS translation.
there is lot's of part-translation solutions for most of the devices today.
BTW, it works really good!
great work dude

moved to the HD section

will it work on the diamond?

it will work on my htc fuze???
EDIT: This is working good on my HTC fuze
p.s. must do HR to delete all the previous hebrew software!!!

Does it show Hebrew in office as well?
Is it possible to set it as Hebrew enabled (Hebrew support but english menues)?

I took a close look, it's a full translation for the Touch HD.
I think that it will work on other devices but you will have some mistakes (such as 5 mp camera in Diamond...)

hmm...

It's a FULL OS TRANSLATION.
including the office applications, the games, the HTC applications, etc...
If you need only Hebrew support and keyboard - search for the Polaris Hebrew solution.

I am aware of the polaris hebrew.
I was wondering if only installing the first cab - will it enable hebrew and keyboard but keep the OS in english.

I looked inside the cab files, the first file is the polaris hebrew install with keyboard txt files, so i believe it will install only Heb fonts, right-left support and Heb keyboard. can you confirm that for the other people who's asking the same question?
and "dude" - do you have any suggest for the dialer?

Thanks for doing this!
Using Touch Pro:
Just tried installing the first cab, not the second, and I got the Hebrew fonts, right->left, and keyboard, which is all I want.
It's not a perfect system. For example, on the Hebrew keyboard (really Italian), there is no period. Also, in some apps, e.g. Notes, it's impossible to use as it puts the spaces in the wrong places. In Word, the spaces are correct but the cursor is in the wrong place. (All these issued may not be issues if the interface is Hebrew. I didn't try that).
I've purchased PDAC, and am waiting for them to send me the program, hopefully it will work for me. Eyron didn't work well so PDAC is my only hope.
EDIT: I uninstalled it and it seems to have uninstalled fine.

regarding the keyboard - look in the polaris thread.
I posted there (posts 400 and 401 I think) mappings for the Touch HD that I made. There are dot there as well as all the long-press keys.

Thanks. I downloaded the keyboard.cab and the text file you provided, but I don't know what I should replace with the text file.

Just replace the files in \windows with the new files I provided.

TF3D isn't working at all.
I'm with 1.19 based cooked ROM, and TF3D won't load. It's saying "tap to launch TF3D", I do tap, but it won't load.
Any ideas?
Amir.
Another update: after installation the phone doesn't work at all. No network at all times. Something is stuck.

All the issues with spaces and cursor are because you didn't install the mui.cab file.
you have there the *.css files which are dealing with those problem...

nope. This was the first item to install, after HR.
The problem occurs with all Free Hebrew versions.
Which 1.19 ROM did you install?
