Hi everyone,
I have just made this patch that allows using the AZERTY built-in (hardware) keyboard with a ROM in a different language (WWE, SPA, ITA, GER…).
Remarks:
- This works only for Blue Angel, because Wallaby, Himalaya and Andes DO NOT have a hardware keyboard.
- The On-screen keyboard won’t change. If you have a ROM in World Wide English (WWE), your Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer, Keyboard and Transcriber will be in English, ONLY the hardware keyboard will be in French.
- If you know how to use WinCE CAB Manager 1.1, it’s is possible to adapt this to other keyboards. You only have to extract and modify “Platformxxx.reg” inside the BA_AZERTY_Hardware_Keyboard_Patch_for_WWE_ROM.cab and put it back to the cab file with your own settings. I won’t make any other patch for other keyboard. I made this patch just for me, but you can use it and modify as you like.
What’s inside? How can I modify it?
The most important registry key to modify is the last key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:0002040c
You have to modify the last 3 digits (after the 00020) depending on your hardware. For instance, for a T-Mobile MDA III with a (hardware) keyboard in German you should give this value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:00020407
(00000407 is the code for the German keyboard layout.
The other keys correct the Local Settings.
The first key set the values for France
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
"DefaultACP"=dword:000004e4
"DefaultLCID"=dword:0000040c
"DefaultOCP"=dword:00000352
"SystemLCID"=dword:0000040c
The second key set the GMS Emergency number to 112 (all over Europe)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ECall]
"List"=hex(7):\
31,31,32,00,00
The third key sets the time zone: +1 Madrid, Paris
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Clock]
"GMT_OFFSET"=dword:ffffffc4
"AppInfo"=hex:\
01,00,00,00,3A,01,00,00,69,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,80,01,00,00,04,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00

Have fun
I tested on my French Qetk 9090 with WWE ROM and it works FLAWLESSLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now guys remove this stupid and incomprehensible French rom localization and jump for a WWE ROM. I wonder now why some many people got difficulties to understand how to use a PPC in France, the Menu and translation are written by monkeys…

The key for Ita Keyboard is 410.
Thanks so much

I have upgraded two more keyboards, the Italian and the German and I have also modified the Regional Time Zone settings for these Countries.
I intended to build these cabs to intall them in the Extemded ROM (I'm using the Belgium ROM BA_WWE_BelDT_12200_557_10602_SHIP.exe and I have replaced the Belgium Operators cab with my AZERTY keyboard cab ), so I don't need to personalize my Blue Angel every time I need to do a hard reset.
For those who just want to use their localized keyboard with a ROM in a different language, they only need to modify this key with a Registry Editor as explained in my previous message.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:00020xxx
New files are here:

Great work, makes it some much easier, thanks
I understand:
The On-screen keyboard won’t change. If you have a ROM in World Wide English (WWE),
your Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer, Keyboard and Transcriber will be in English,
ONLY the hardware keyboard will be in French.

Which is fine in the short term for I am sure that somebody SMART will post a fix for it.
However I still have a problem with the software keybaord.
I am in Switzerland and need the o,u,e with the dots on top.
I have found sofware for USD 29.95 that solves that:
http://pocket-pc-software.penreader.com/InterKey.html
Question: could you PLEASE post cab that will overwrite the internal keyboard ? Leaving the recogoniction ect in Engliah.
There is a MDAIII Extened rom GER (I think) posted under ftp, BlueAngel\MDAIII\MDA3 ext[1].ROM.zip
Your thoughts ?
How could I have forgotten Switzerland!!! )) When I think I lived one year in Zürich... And I will be back soon to visit some friends over there, in Wettingen.
Listen mate, for the internal keyboard is too much of a problem, because, I think, each version of Pocket PC has only the keyboard drivers for the language is intended. i.e, a ROM in WWE won´t have the drivers for a Swiss keyboard... -for the Trancriber, I'm sure 100%- and besides the drivers are in the ROM memory, so not visible. I tried many many things to make work the on-screan keyboard but I couldn't find any solution... but maybe someone else will find it in the future. Nothing is impossible. Meanwhile there´s a very good solution and reasonable cheap (developers must make some money too!)
http://www.resco-net.com/keyboard.asp
In fact, I wanted a Spanish keyboard, because you can write in Spanish, French, English, German and many other languages... even Swiss German!, which you can't do with a US or French keyboard... so I have bought the Resco keyboard
As I said before, I don't think to make any other versions of the keyboard patch, but that's the whole thing in the Open Source... I found how to change the keyboards, I explained it to the community and Í'm sure that other guys here will do more keyboards in different languages. I'm pretty sure that other Swiss people will be interested so they can also contribute.
Actually, to write this answer me takes longer than to make a patch for the Swiss (german) keyboard... but I prefer to work now to unlock this Blue Angel thing I don't think to change of provider but it's a matter of principles. I hate locked things (phones, DVD players, etc.) and everything else that takes away some of your freedom... but that´s another subject and this is not the place for that
Viel Spass!
ArtZ
Oh What a nice guy you are and I am sure that your last post took you longer to write than a patch. (grin) But I am also sure lots of pepole will be happy with what they find as it is a lot esyser than searching the forum for the reg codes.
I am a bit lost on the Unlock thing you wrote about.
I downloaded a tool of this site that unhides the Exteneded rom and unlockes the sim (I think).
The an hide works for me, and my sim swiss phone works fine on my german MDAIII, is this what you need?
There is a
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\KeyBoard Layout\Preload\1
The Active key is set to e000409
on my 1.12.22 WWE
1) Does anybody know what it is ?
2) Can somebody look at the values for ITA, FRE, GER and post the results.
Thanks

That's normal. In every language is the same. You shouldn't change that value... and if you do, there will be no difference.
I think windows just preload the US keyboard when it starts.

Thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks!!!!!!
Solved it!!
Solved the date problem going to "regional configuration".
And solved the keyboard problem changing to 0x...409
Thanks again.
International characters could be entered on hardware keyboard by typing basic letter (u, i s, c, etc.) , press and hold Lock/Fn key and rotate through variations by typing "sym" (space).
Does anybody knows if something similar could be done on software keyboard?
Hello, I am writing because I am a bit confused.
I have
WinCE cab manager open on the patch
platformxxx.reg open in notepad ready to be edited
phm registry editor open on the BA on the "querty" reg key
and this microsft pageopen,
but I am lost.
First:
Keyboard=ENG (t-mobile UK)
ROM=BA_DT_Swisscom_ITA_14004_8006_11200_SHIP
I understand that I have to change the QWERTY value in the REG KEY inside the PLATFORMXXX.REG. I save the whole thing and the install on the BA.
Now, the current value on the unpatched reg key is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty] "Layout"=dword:00020809
if I go check in the Microsft page, 809 is already UK (0x0809 en-GB English (United Kingdom) ).
I was expecting this value to be the Swiss-ITA (0x0810 it-CH Italian (Switzerland)
I am totally lost, what am I supposed to do?
EDIT:
SOLVED
trial and error:
I will answer my own question:
you have to change the language of the keyboard to the one of your rom and not viceversa.
Thank you for your help, I am a happy camper now that the keyboard works.
EDIT:
JUST ONE NOTE:
I had to change the REGION SETTINGS: date was in FRENCH.
NOW IS PERFECT
Thank you so much!
Hello Everybody !

Hi there !
Since I installed Asukal's e-china for Diamond, my compact AZERTY keyboard and my phone keyboard got stuck on numeric and T9 isn't working anymore (even on the full AZERTY keyboard)
I checked some solution on the forum (i.e. : here) but those registry values are correct.
Could anyone help me for this?
Well, actually I just only need to have Asian languages support on my French ROM but CE-Star does not support non-WWE ROM (and I don't want to flash it) so hard keys are not working even if I add the registry value
Code:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010411 "Keyboard Layout" = "00000409"
Any help for this or the problem above is welcome.
Thanks in advance ^^
Does this e-china include Chinese typing support via the standard Diamond Keyboard !
I have asian font files & keyboard SIPs for asian languages, have Thai working on my Diamond with no problems so far !
The font file I use supports chinese, Korean & Thai
I also have font file for Japanese but have not tried it on WM6.1
Well, it does not have typing support (or I haven't seen it). Actually, I don't need this. I just want to read Japanese, Chinese, etc. characters and still be able to type my messages with the French T9 (and so, using the phone keyboard and the full/compact keyboard).
*bump please ^^"*
Ok... Found out the solution here.
Hope no other bugs will show up ^^"
Is a Nordic Keyboard available somewhere here?
If someone can tell me how to extract keyboard (possible?) I can dump it from my ROM. Bought from Finland and it has all nordics.

In theory all the keyboards should be available in all phones, it's the registry setting that would be nice to know, so if you could post the tegic reg it would be nice.
You would find it in HKLM/software/tegic
Thanks

Can you be more exact? there are like hundreds of registrys in that folder HKLM/software/tegic/eT9
None in ../tegic exept that folder
Just save the HKLM/software/Tegic registry folder as the "hundreds" of entries describe what keyboard layout, what tegic wordbook to use and so on and so on.
I actually added Danish to my HK version by adding all the registry setting for Danish in to that folder
any news on this?
I've installed duttys rom, and the first impression is great. Only played with it for half a day.
I installed the old blackstone keyboards (which I found in a xperia-thread) and the 14 languages t9-cab, and can now type with norwegian t9. The thing is that the keyboard layout is english, so I have to remeber where they norwegian keys are put on the compqact qwerty.
Anyone got a solution?
A nordic keyboard for these new ROMs would be great. Is it available?
I am using Davideuck's V3 Rhodium and the only thing i miss is the nordic keyboard layout.
To gather everything up nicely..
T9 Input 14 Languages Update.cab (2.3 KB)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=94698&d=1214149758
This only adds the option to select the language i want. When writing with XT9 enabled in the full qwerty nothing shows up on screen. If I set it to ABC it works. Keyboard layout is still english, or at least without æ, ø and å witch are the Norwegian characters I would like to get on my keyboard.
Then I will need some dictionary file to add XT9, right? Where can I get that?
Also, when my full qwerty works with XT9 I would prefer to move another step; how do I get compact qwerty with XT9 and nordic (æøå for me) characters?
I lost the compact qwerty when I flashed my ROM with some Dutty-ROM. Oh, and don't get me wrong. His ROMs are fantastic, but I would still love to have compact qwerty
Tried This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462284
I installed this reg attached as zip file in this post, and got XT9 working but no keyboard layout in Danish. Maybe the new keyboard is not meant to be like that? Its maybe supposed to be like the Iphone where you keep pressing "o" to get ø etc..? Because this is working fine.. and even the XT9 is suggest words when you use the "o" instead of ø when writing the words.
hmm
I downloaded the cab mentioned in the previous post. It's a 6MB file and it gave me an error message 5 seconds in the install process
"Installation of Touch-IT_Blackstone_Nor_swe_Den_Fin.cab was unsuccessful."
Oh well... I feel like I have searched the entire web twice for this, but finding dictionaries for other languages proves to be difficult. I could even settle for only Norwegian

This is what i use.
It's not the latest HTC version ( I find the latest much slower anyway), but it works.
Install the keyboard first, then the dictionary.
Nordic Keyboard
I think there's are still missing files needed to make the latest HTC keyboard into Nordic through registry settings.
Oh joy
Blessings.. it worked!
I have the problem that I'm a danish user, but I use dutty's rom with the new ezimput 2.0 keyboard, but no danish language exist yet to that one.
Now when I try to install the original HD keyboard, the "phone keypad" doesn't work anymore, and hence make it impossible to use T9. It works with full QWERTY, but my fat fingers doesn't work well on that one.
Anyone have the same problem, and have found an solution?
What do you mean that no Danish language exist for that.
Phone keyboard is having "ø" under "mno" button and just like normal multitap.
If it's the T9 you are looking for then use the attached reg key and you'll have Danish added to the language list.
I'm using Dutty 3.3 and it works without problems.

Thanks for the reg file.
I didn't know you were able to have danish on the new ezimput 2, as they state on the thread in "dev and hacking" that it only supports eng, ger, fre, spa etc.
From were do you get the ldb files and kdb files? Or are the danish one included in the dutty rom? Or can you please upload those files aswell?
-offtopic-
I have used my diamond for almost a year and really enjoys it, so now I thought that I would go to the HD. - And I feel like a beginner again. What rom is the best, what is the new essentials etc... :-/
I used the dic file from one of the oploads in this thread, and it worked beutifull. Thanks.
More Languages on ezimput2 from Topaz
This file enables more T9 languages on the latest keyboard.
Layout will be the same.
Did anyone find any solution to the compact keyboard?
In my opinion the compact keyboard is the best one, but in Duttys rom's it doesnt exist.. and Duttys rom is really great so I dont wanna change rom.
The perceft solution would be Dutty rom + Compact keyboard with working T9 swe lang.
please please... tell me that someone solved this...
Here's a mod on the previous Danish reg file to make it work for Swedish instead.

hello all.
i just recently bought (2 days now) a shiny new X1 and i am quite pleased with it for the most part... except for some issues
so ... some questions;
build quality is ok but it feels like a wobble when the unit is closed during tapping. is this normal? in other words the screen sort of "shifts" around in movement ... is this normal?
my rom came with arabic support (the unit has arabic fonts lettering on the keyboard) however when writing a message i cant figure out how to turn the keyboard into arabic.. only the on-screen-keyboard displays arabic.
well thats all done with cause i changed the rom and even though i backed up following the steps in the tutorial on this forum when i restored the rom the arabic applications didnt restore nor did the fonts. i dont know why...
so now i installed many roms and even though i installed Mobidev (the arabic localization) the on-screen-keyboards only display english. for example, christian's rom, the valkrye rom, and the Unoff rom. all are english however i cant figure out how to add the arabic keyboard...
any help is appreciated.
59 views and no reply?
comeon guys... ???
It's normal that it 'wobbles', there are two parts (the actual phone and the screen)attached to eachother at two points I think .. not sure why SE/htc didn't decide to fix the wobble thingy though
thanks
any ideas on how to make the hardware keyboard switch to another language ?
get the regedit program on the forums and then find the keyboard code which uses arabic as its layout then it should work.
or you can always just look for a custom arabic rom , Hard-reset + flash the rom will always do the trick too.

Non-latin languages require more work, because they need to get the IME working whereas latin charset languages just need the characters and accents. I suggest you flash an Arabic ROM to make your life easier.
The au key should be the language toggle.
