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!!!!

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!!

Changing keyboard language (and dictionary)

I have just installed a new rom for my S730 (from thread called NEW ROM FOR s730er(20279) )
Works pretty nifty (after changing language to english), but I got some other problems.
My old Æ, Ø, Å (danish letters) dosn't work anymore. Before they worked fine with the fn-key.. I guess it's some registry fix I have to make it work?
Also, is it possible to install some danish dictionary?
Thanks

My guess is that that ROM doesn not contain Danish xt9 ldb files (and probably it doesn't contain keymap as well). You'll need the 0406/1030 files. You can extract those from a WM6.1 rom that does, then copy the Danish files over to your English ROM, add registry entries and you're settled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360126 would be a good starting point, since the Vox (S710) and the Wings (S730) are more or less identical (for this matter, that is). Also read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319353.

I followed the instructions in the latter link above. The only thing to watch-out for is that in the registry you may get "Vox" instead of "Wings". Either rename the file or change the registry.
I've attached the keyboard data.

French
I read this :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...Mobile Smartphone Internationalization Issues
and succeeded to make the cabs for french, you can find the cab's here :
http://dl.free.fr/B4Dd7F/HTC-S730
attached the cabs because the link doesn't work anymore

Russian
Need russian keyboard for S730. Any suggestions/files? Even without xT9...

I've managed to get Danish keyboard and dictionary just fine. One thing though. Before the 6.1 upgrade word-suggestion would suggest words with æøå even if I just wrote eoa. Example: If I wrote "star" it would suggest "står" too.
Any way to get that functionality back? Kinda of character alias function or similar.
Thanks for any input.

I would like to hear if it is possible to get original scandinavian "HTC WINGS S730" Keyboard settings - in a cab - ready to installation, so letters like æ ø å would be listed in their original places, on the HTC keyboard, like fn + arrow right = Å etc.
PS. I had before a working version of the WM6 on a S730 ..
Then i installed 6.1 US English(flashed version) and the danish keyboard layout suddenly disappeared.
Thanks in advance.

1plus1is2, I followed this to re-enable my keyboard.

ok 4th post updated!!

Thank you Perfect (Merci). Thanks for the T9 as well exactly what I needed

Norwegian QWERTY keyboard does not work.

I have put in radio software:1.65.17.56
I have norwegian wm6.1 on the tytn2.
(QWERTY keyboard) What is wrong?
Thanks

You'll need to add more details than that. The buttons don't work at all? Some work/some don't? They all work but don't type the same characters as shown on the buttons?
If it's a Norwegian 6.1 rom from someone on these forums then ask the question in their thread. If not add more details to your post here.

All of the Fn keys does don't type the same characters as shown
on the buttons.

WM 6.1 have i downloaded from htc.com

You changed the "Regional Settings" to Norwegian?

Moved as not ROM Development in my thread F.A.Q is 2 ways to change hardware keyboard to another layout worth a ganda.

Regional settings is in norwegian...

What is the original radio software that comes with the norwegian kaiser?

Open registry editor and change that keys :
HKLM/Hardware/device map/keybd/CurLang change value to 1044
if key not exist go there :
HKCU/MUI/CurLang and change value to 1044.
I must always do this after HR or change ROM.
Reboot, and all will be ok

I did not find it... Where???

What didn't you find ? Please be more precise you have been handed 2 x REG keys one of which may not be there as it depends on ROM, i did point to my thread F.A.Q to which holds same information.
