Remap keys on Tytn II / Kaiser

I just flashed my Tytn II with a new rom and some of my keys are now wrong i.e. press fn Q and get ! instead of @. I've searched and cannot find a fix for this. I tried putting on Alex's keyboard fix and it didn't work. Does anyone know where I can find the file that has to be edited to the right characters or a cab that will do it for me. Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been searching for 2 hours and can't find anything. Thanks

Use Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool to change Keyboard Layout parameter.

Thanks, but I tried that too and it doesn't work. Is there not a txt file or something which I can edit?

I created a virtual keymapping for the difference between the HTC Herald & T-mobile Wing. Maybe this will work for you because it sounds just like the problem we had over in the Herald forum....
So try this :
KEYBOARD FIX for WING / HERALD & ROM hardware keyboard (keybddr.dll) mismatch
Use the Herald keyboard Fix ... because i think the herald & kaiser have the same keyboard layout.

Thanks for the response... But it didn't work either. I appreciate the help though. Any other manual ways to do this?

OK, I got it working thanks to a great member who had already dealt with this so I copied and pasted from the other thread and here's the answer:
4) The Rogers ROM changes the hardware keyboard layout. The layout is the same as used by the AT&T Tilt and so some of the keys behave differently (for example pressing @ brings up a ! and visa-versa). To fix this problem I needed to delete the registry key HKLM>HARDWARE>DEVICEMAP>KEYBD>CWSLayout

Hi,
I've recently bought an HTC TyTN II and am having problems with the keyboard. The "alt" keys are not how they are mapped on the keyboard, and I can't get a comma.
I've tried the above methods apart from the Rogers ROM, the link supplied isn't active any longer and googling the rom there are loads to choose from.
Can anybody help me?
Cheers,
Craig

try to install Tilt keyboard fix

change Keyboard Layout

Hello everybody,
i use the Open Touch V6 rom and its very good But i have one problem...
The rom is englisch and my herald is a german one. This means that i have a german keyboard layout. so my question are:
a.) It's possible to change the key assignment to adapt to my german keyboard?
b.) It's possible to change the touchpad-Keyboard (that on which can fade in) to a german layout?
Thanx
SuperElmo

I think your best bet is to check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
Exhaust the possibilities. If not then it most likely doesn't exist.

Thanx, but i have tried out the forum-search and i have not found a solution for my problems. All founded threads are solutions for WM6 but my used rom is WM6.1.
So have anybody else a solution?
Thanx
SuperElmo

I found a solution
AEKMap works fine also on WM6.1.

Same old question about keyboard

UPDATE:
Solution found - see post #6 !
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have searched this forum now for over an hour but couldn't find a solution yet!
I do not have the TILT! I have the original Tytn II.
After flashing my US ENGLISH Tytn II with the official GERMAN WM6.1 ROM, I encountered the QWERTY <-> QWERTZ problem.
I thought it would be as easy as on the HERMES by just changing a REGISTRY entry from 407 to 409 but it seems it is a bit harder than that! Can anyone help me out or point me to the right thread? I really would appreciate that!

Yup I believe this is covered in the Kaiser FAQ Wiki. Link In My Sig.
There are two issues. If you have a Tilt and Flash a TytnII based ROM your keyboard gets messed up. Vice Versa as well.

Nope,
it is not covered in the WIKI!
As I said: I do not have the tilt and I am not using a Tilt ROM either! The Tilt keyboard fix is just not working in this case.

I must have been mistaken. My apologizes.

Well, if I add in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD] the "CWSLayout"=dword:1" value, I at least get "z" / "y" reverted (which is a good thing) but my symbols are still messed up.

This Solution Final Worked
After 2 days studdying all the posts dealing with keyboard issues, I now have found a simple registry solution which worked just fine.
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\00000407]
"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 have tried the above solution on several WM6.1 REFLASHs and it worked every time!

Issues with Software keyboards on my Tilt

hi everyone,
I have an AT&T tilt, with ROM HyperDragon IV IOLITE OS 5.2.20765 Build 20765.1.4.4 (Also try with HyperDragon IV Rhodium OS 5.2.21040 Build 21040.1.6.0) and Radio 1.65.24.36. I have installed many keyboards but anyone have worked with my phone. I install them with any issue but when I select it in the drop down menu, the original keyboard is still there, nothing happens.
I try with:
FingerKeyboard2 FingerKeyb-2.1-QVGA-arrows-Giannis86.cab
Gollum's Diamond XT9 OEM pack gullum diamond keys.cab
EzInput 1.5 Keyboard [Full Keyboard] - phones with full HW keyboard fro QVGA
XDA Atom T9 Phone Pad phonepad_atom_wwe.cab
Please help, and excuse me for my english...

Try searching for SIP Change.

thanks! but I already try with SIP change, still the same problem.

Keyboard
Hi there, I'm using FingerKeyboard on my Kaiser. When you install the cab. make sure you install it onto your device when your phone give you the option; do a soft-reset. Then go to the bottom of your phones touchscreen where you press for the keyboard to pop-up. On the right side of the "keyboard icon" there's an arrowhead, press on again, now navigate to the text bar that says "FingerKeyboard" make sure it's selected. There you should have it?
Device: TILT (unlocked)
Rom: PDA Ultimate V2
Radio: 1.64.24.36
SPL: Jocky3.56

Thank u very much. I already did that but when I pressed the arrow and select any of the other keyboards, the default was still there.
Last week I changed the ROM with the newest PDA Corner, that includes EzInput Keyboard by default, and now is working flawlessly, so my problem might be a Hyperdragon ROM issue with my phone. I'll try to contact sakajati to inform about this.
Thanks for your attention.

my experience with hd2, mini bluetooth keyboard and german layout

Hi @ all,
i want to share my experience with the mini bluetooth keyboard PX-2563 from Generalkeys (ordered at www.pearl.de) and my hd2 running WinMo 6.5 orig. Vodafone german ROM 3.14. First of all i have to say this keyboard is low-priced and in my opinion this is good It makes a cheap impression and i will see how long it will run. The keys are made of soft rubber, but you have to press it relative hard. So for the first time i am not faster than with the on-screen keyboard.
The keyboard is delivered with a driver-cd. Don´t touch it if you want to use it with your hd2! There is an old version of blueinput on it but this is useless for me.
My solution to get it running and have the german layout:
1. Install Fingerkeyboard 2.1 from this great forum and only activate ger as language in the options.
2. Install AEKMAP 1.3 (it´s free, you don´t need to activate it)
3. Use the .aek-file with the correct layout (attached to this post)
4. pair the keyboard with your HD2
5. have fun
So you will have in round about 20 min. this keyboard running with a nearly perfect german keyboard layout
Infos about my attached keyboard-layout:
This is my first version for this keyboard. Most keys/characters are working. The ALT-Key is NOT working. Use CTRL instead of ALT! (CTRL+q for @, CTRL+e for €, CTRL+m for \). Umlauts and special characters are also working.
regards, interceptor

Thanks a lot for this post! I received my Pearl keyboard today and was very unhappy with the delivered software and the keyboard layout! I am using it right now with a HTC HD2 and the suggested software...
Unfortunatly the "€" is not mapped as it is not mentioned in the .AEK file. I'll try to get a clue how this mapping file works and maybe the ALT key will work some day
Best regards, CN

OOOPS! My fault. Now the attached aek-file in the first post has the €-sign and you can use it via CTRL+e. please download it again.

Hi,
I know this is an old thread but i'm actually running into the same problem with a French-layout Logitech Dinovo which, when paired with both my HD2 or HD Mini running WinMo 6.5, is recognized as English (qwerty).
I'd be curious to know how to proceed:
1/ choose fingerkeyboard as phone keyboard (?)
1'/ make sure AEK has the right layout selected
2/ pair with external keyboard
The only problem would be: i don't have the french layout compliant with the Dinovo (and support seem unable to help me with this matter). How could i make one ? Does that need special skills or a special software ?
Many thanks in advance...
