Change keyboard layout - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hi,
I just flashed to NRGs rom, and as far as I can see - everything is working fine.
Anyhow, seing how I'm Swedish, I need to be able to write special letters like äöå.
Is there a special reg. key for the Rhodium for this?
Or a cab to install?
Thanks.

I would be also interested in such a cab (if this is possible?)...
German keyboard layout would be nice too ...

To change software layout
1. start
2. Advanced Config (if not installed you have to...)
3. change to the right layout under Input
To change hardwarelayout special key's
1. open a registry editor
2. browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]
3. change "07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt" to "07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.807.kmap.txt" (standard country code) files are already in windows folder
To change qwerty to qwertz
1. install Keys remapper ( here)
2. Start -> Settings -> System ->Keyboard Config
3. Menu -> add key -> press y -> Action -> Emulate key press -> z -> ok
4. Menu -> add key -> press z -> Action -> Emulate key press -> y -> ok
5. update config

thanx for the instructions - worked perfectly for me!

you're welcome

ok great and here is the cab file for nordic softkeyboard and swe hardware, the hardware might work for other nordic lang to, otherwise follow the above steps in earlier posts

To change hardwarelayout special key's
1. open a registry editor
2. browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]
3. change "07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt" to "07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.807.kmap.txt" (standard country code) files are already in windows folder
Do you know where can I get a Country list. Or do you know "Portuguese Brazil" Code?
TKS a lot.

Is it possible to exit the .kmap.txt files themselves (or copy and edit the copy) to change the behaviour of 1 key? I want the mail-key to behave like a Tab (just like on the Kaiser) but don't want to go through the trouble of replacing a driver for just that 1 key.

Sorry to jump in with an unrelated question but I was wondering if you could point me to the link(s) that will help me better to understand how to change my VPA Compact II to English. I have a few tools which I got here and I am really not sure if I am going to do some damage or not and thought I would ask. Your post is the only one that directly refers to this VPA and any help would be greatly appreciated.
So far I will:
1. Change some settings with the hex editor?
2. Load ROM: K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe onto the storage card?
3. Reset the device?
4. Drink a beer & try again?
Please notice that they are all questions as I am unsure of the exact process for the whole ordeal.
Thanks and have a great day,
ITTIA

After changing the locale code don't SoftReset device, you should turn Power Off and On.
Anybody know what the locale number is for the US keyboard layout?
Thanks!
Cheers...
For those who would like to know: US layout = 409.
Cheers!
If you don't want to edit the registry manually try using Registry Wizard. It's available for download in the regular Wizard forum and has an option for keyboard layout.

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,..)
look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43680&highlight=german+language

Usefull tips for your new official wm6

(Please dont post to many questions here, lets keep it simple so that we dont get overflowed with questions probably answered 50 times before in other threads)
Ok, I want us to stick to one post if possible, for tips on how to in.ex make the HTC Home to work on our native languages.
If you have sollutions that works, post it here. (If you find the sollution in another post, give credits, and link to the post)
I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107
Here it explains how to rename the mui files in windows so that the HTC home will work:
I did following
Installed Total commander
I went to windows folder, I selected all files and folders, then properties, unchecked "read only"
Then I renamed
HTCHome.dll.0409.mui -> HTCHome.dll.0414.mui
HTC HDlg.exe.0409.mui ->HTC HDlg.exe.0414.mui
HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml -> HH_0414_WeatherCities.xml
htcbtql.dll.0409.mui -> htcbtql.dll.0414.mui
(0414 is the norwegian countrycode)
then voila, HTC Home on my norwegian wm6
New 26.08 The mfrazzz_CommManager_8button_wizard.cab
This commManager works great and I have no problems at all with it
New 26.08 Tips from fultotop regarding problems with installing the touch dialer in wm6 :
To Install reTouched Dialer you need to :
1. Delete delete this registry key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas
2. Install Wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer2.cab
New 26.08 Fultotop have provided a reg fix.

just import to your registry with a reg edit program (total commander, link provided further up in this post)(see attachments for the reg file)
Great work Fultotop
I will post more about things as I go along..
All the files im posting here are tested and working on my norwegian wm6 HTC P4350
where do i find these codes? for the country?
mm, Its on microsofts website
I dont have the link, but I suppose you can find it by using google
or searching this forum
what country are you from?
Netherlands, Dutch.
I can't find it with Google?
Omg tnx!!! Its working!
I have just downloaded the 10 button comm manager, but my wireless isnt working. Can some post the right device code from the following registry key?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager \WLAN] = " \\ Windows \\ WLanMgr.exe " "DeviceName" = " {98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} \\ TNETW12511 "
I would be really gratefull!

I can't even install the 10 button comm manager, not enough rights?
Anything I can do about that?
Now, thats weird. I could install it without any problems. Just accept any security warning and install it to the device. Don't know any more ways to "fix" it?
Which one did you install?
Do you have a link to it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320239
that one
Doh!
I forgot i had my cable attached to my Herald, thus enabling comm manager, thus not installing.
With no cable attached installed perfectly.
Could you please please please look at that registry entry for me? I need it for my WiFi button to work
I installed this and changed the codes to 041D (Swedish) and my Herald wouldnt boot again.. I had to reflash it with the Wm6 RUU.

u need to kill Comm Manager before u install it. If Comm Manager is still running in the background, itll give u that error. Close it properly first.
Btw the 9 button with 3g comm manager seems to be working fine. Wlan works on my herald (htc wm6)
8 Button Comm Manager with working wifi
If you don't want the Comm Manager with 3G use this one here.
Updating my first post
I'm using these cabs for HTC home on my P4350.
Five Tab HTC Home
HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.5Tab.schen.N2A_WeatherPatched.cab
Six Tab HTC Home
HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen.N2A_WeatherPatched.cab
More info here.
I've tried the Wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer2.cab for the new dialer, but could get it to display correctly, but it uninstalled fine.

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.

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.
