Soft keyboard with special national characters - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hi,
I am going to flash my Swedish Rhodium to one of the excellent ROMs found here and I've found the wiki page describing how to change the system to make use of my hardware keyboard language, but what about the soft keyboard?
I cannot seem to find any reference on how to customize it to include special national characters.
Cheers.

I use this one:

it's customizable, you can even set different sizes for different keys (numbers smaller than letters, things like that). There are skins too.
I paid for it, it's worth it.

Chinese Font on WM6

Does anyone know how to get the chinese font to appear on a WM6 device, i have the font on my device, i modified the registry but the fonts still dont appear. i think it has something to do with the reg key entry maybe? does anyone have a guide on how to do this?
regards,
There are many threads about this in the Diamond area.
Make a thorough search. Tips for keywords: asian fonts diamond
Have a look at post #2 in thread from link below:

SWISS-FRENCH Keyboard layout development

Hi you guy out there!
I recently bought me a Raphael from our beloved Swisscom and guess what: it was crap until I flashed ROMeOS2.
But I was a fool not to backup the entire Windows folder before flashing. I have 2 problems now:
1st I lost TomTom. The maps are still available on storage card but the installation has gone an no cab file to restore it :-(
2nd I'm stuck on an French AZERTY keyboard! To solve this I beg you:
Backup all language files on your Raphael before flashing and send it to me via e-mail so that my task to cook us a Swiss-French keyboard would be much easier!
The important files are, I think, the PQwertyxxxxxx.txt located in Windows folder. But the best, in oder do fix both the problems would be to backup the entire Windows folder.
PM me or reply to this thread it you are interested in helping or send me mails!
Here is what I have so far:
http://www.modaco.com/content/smart...obile-smartphone-internationalization-issues/
Every help is very welcome!
I have more or lesse the same problem, but I would need the swiss-german keyboard. Especially the settings to get the hardware keyboard working with äöü and éàè etc. would be nice.
About TomTom. You can get the installation cab for TomTom from the extended cab collection for ROMeOS2 from Monx here
http://monx.aplace4u.biz/ROMeOS2RAPHAEL/GER/EXTENDED/
This is listed under the german version, but I think it's multilanguage. Got it to work with the maps that were still on my SD card after flashing from swisscom to ROMeOS2 rom.
All right, sounds interesting. I Know that swiss-german keyboards are quite similar to swiss-french. The only difference is in fact this damn éàè and öäü.
Do you know any one who hasn'f flashed his Raphael yet? I basicly don't want to start on an empty base. As I said I'd like to have the PQwertyxxxxxx.txt files to modify...
Have you been on poketpc.ch forum and checked there for solutions? There are many German speaking guys how use Romeos. I don't have many time this month to do research.
Many thanks for le TomTom cab link, I'll check this out soon and keep you updated.
[edit]: TomTom Install worked great. It is multilingual indeed. Thanx noigear!

I only know somebody with an original diamond... that won't be much help for the hardware keyboard
I might still take a look at it when I get a chance to do so. I'll check out pocketpc.ch in the meantime.

If you're talking about the Hardware Keyboard, you can change it easily to any map you like. To do that, using a registry editor, navigate to HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD change th value of CurLang to 2055 for CH-DE
For any other keyboard mapping referr to http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/r...p/xp-lcid.mspx and get the value listed for the desired language.
Don't forget to softreboot and you're done.
Hope this helps
And what about remaping not full keyboard layot but some buttons in any stations? (With Fn or Shift pressed).
Are Hardware Keyboard is sensible to PQwertyxxxxxx.txt files, or this mapping info is only for touch screen layot?
Owww god damned, I don't beleve it, the solution is sooooo simple (Sorry for my swearing, it's just emotional, lol)
Thank you a lot bluenote77 for this advise.
Unfortunately for vip77, I do not care at all for the touch screen keyboard so i'm not gonna spend more time as necessary to find an answer to the question. May be on my next vacation...
The absolut luxury at the moment would be if you guys knew a tweak for the SMS/MMS button on the keyboard, to call the SMS application by default...
Mr. HD, I'm talking about hardware keyboard, not screen virtual.
I want to remap digits from 1-9 in not english layout, because input of digits avilible only in english layot and not avilible in other language layot.
It's not useful.
@VIP77
All right, in that case, you might be able o perform a remap within the PQwertyxxxxxx.txt files. But I didnt figure out how they work and what kind of data (HEX or ALPHA) they contain.
I'm alway glad to have inputs about that.
Chears
Mr. HD thank you for this information. I spend alot time to find solution for this issue. My primary language is Russian, so every user of HTC TP have this issue. Also we can't input "." symbol. "Trick" is switching layot every time, when i need input digit or dot. It's owful.
Some peoples made new firmware, that have this fix, but they don't want talk about solution. And i don't want go to this version for some reason. I was trying change KbdNopAll.dll to new, from this firmware, but digit input disapiared from all layots.
So i have opinion, that some files or dll's may contaion addition info, not only KbdNopAll.dll driver.
Also i find program, that scan codes and can remap them from buttons and they have similar form. Like codes from PQwertyxxxxxx.txt
It's called AEKeyboard Mapper.
http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
Problem - this software scan codes only in english layot. In russian on all keypresses returning only one code.
So i think I can scan button codes, find them in PQwertyxxxxxx.txt files and change or alias.
Something like this )
This sounds like a painfull job. I hope you will get an issue. in case you didn't see here's the link from my first post, maybe it will help you.

Update OK
i have correct my german Raphael with ceregedit, and in /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/KEYBD/ i have set 2055 (German_Swiss ), and work fine!
thanks for the help!
Hi Mr. HD,
Don't know if you still need it or if it might be helpful but I have a backup of my old Sunrise stock ROM. Just send me a PM should you need it.
HTH
Cheers

My Keyboad is QWERZ (German) Any way to patch to QWERT

My Keyboad is QWERZ (German) Any way to patch to QWERT
and
Or If i flash with German language(DE) is it English available on that
Thank you
use seome registry editor!
goto HKLM/hardware/keyboard/lang and change it to 409 (english)
not sure if the path is correct but its somewhere arround there.
i flash it with normal WWE version.. it automatically ok..
my kb layout is QWERTZ, but when typing, it will show QWERTY...
is this a question or a statement?
409 = WWE (qwerty)
407 = German (qwertz)

I changed HKLM/hardware/devicemap/keybd/CurLang to 0x409, but that didn't make a difference on my dutch keyboard layout (0x413 (1043)), even after a soft reset.
I have seen a US keyboard cab floating around somewhere, but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone still have it?
I've looked some more, and changed HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Keyboard Layout/Active from 00000413 to 00000409, but that didn't work either. Looking further

I was talking about the virtual onscreen keyboard. I know there's several around, but all I can find is paid options (Resco, PocketCM) or something like the Diamond keyboard.
My onscreen keyboard has dutch layout, while the hardware keyboard has US layout. I'd like a US layout for my onscreen keyboard aswel. The letters onscreen are on the same position, but all symbols are mixed up which is very annoying.
In short I'm looking for the original US keyboard with the blueish keys. I don't know if I should change a dll and/or registry setting or if anyone has a cab ready?
ah ok,
HKLM/hardware/devicemap/keybd/CurLang
is the path for the hardware keyboard check itjes other rom threads. im somewhat sure that ive seen cabs for the other soft-keyboards arround there.

What cooked ROM did you use?
Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5?
Who is the cook?
Look for the thread of the ROM you flashed and search there. Maybe there is already a solution.
search the sunglobe patch, it works!

Doesn't work for dialer still.

buddy, would you mind having it uploaded here..?

Go to rick119.com. Such .cab can fix it. I tried the RickyMSYH6.0 there, really worked.
Guys this problem is a really simple one.
First, I haven't had a problem displaying Chinese in the dialer, but I'm still mainly using Chinese ROMs on my D2. They show fine on my WWE HD though.
Still, the problem is going to be whether or not MSYH has been mapped to the font being used in the dialer. Most likely the dialer has changed its font and msyh isn't being mapped there. For whatever Chinese font install cab you are using, look at the included _setup.xml for the current font mappings that it installs. You may be able to add those manually in the registry.

i have the same probem

有没有安装雅黑语言包什么的
Try this. I have used this on the Diamond, Diamond 2 and HD2 TMobile with no issues. Search for this file: "uhei00m-gray.cab". Copy it to the storage card and install to device. It will require a soft reset. If ALL programs do not display Chinese properly... reinstall the cab file and soft reset again. As a note: If you did not hard reset after the ROM flash this may or may not work with all programs. I have used this together with "kuruan.net_GB_PPC_v2.1.8.cab" chinese handwriting input with absolutley no problems with all ROM's I have tested. The speed of the handwriting recognition is awesome. My first post...lol. Hope it helps. I know all the posts I have read here have helped me tons.
use RickyMSYH6.0. I been using it w/ many different phones, and it works almost every time. if there's some place doesn't display chinese, and some are, then that's means some fonts that didn't remapping to MSYH, then just find out what font that place is using, and then go to edit the reg to remapping it to MSYH
fonts that already remapped can be found here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink

I have used Character Recognizer from day one... Do to a burst of frustration my HTC Diamond's life ended tragically... So opened my trunk of goodies and pulled out my old school Blue Angel..

There are cabs floating around for things like the transcriber. I believe that there was a post by motisu that had a transcriber cab somewhere in here. As far as other keyboards, check Chef's guide. he has several alternative keyboards in there. Good luck!
bump, so you find it easier.
also, while being on the topic of input options: egzthunder, did you happen to find that ezinput cab? i still haven't found the newest version.
