Change Keyboard
Hey Pal,
just use an registry editor; go to HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Keybd and change the key CurLang to value 407 (should be 409 for english)
Cheers.

hi
thanks for your answer
but it didin´t work=(
in my device there was 1033 in the box
when I put in 407 then nothing happens...

sitch value from dword to hex or vice versa, I can't remember.
after that enter : 407 and everything should be fine.

Change it to 1031, not 407.

thank you very much
the 1031 worked

QWERTY problem after flashed O2 Xda into K-jam English!!

Hi all,
After reading some good topics on this forum, I flashed my German O2 Xda into K-jam English sucefully. The Qtek_9100_RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship & the i-mate K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110 files
are 100% working.
But when using the slided out keyboard,the differnt letter & symbols mapping cause some problem. I always got
the wrong buttons!
When I press "Z" , I get letter "Y", when I press symbol "@", I get "+".
Can someone know how to resolve this?
Big Thanks!
Have a look at this app. It might work on the Wizard.

Thanks for your suggestion, mitchello. I have tried it yet. I visited the website, but I think this mapping does not quite solve the problem, because it is a bit complicated & cannot solve the symobls layout.
TRY THIS
4. for the german keyboard on english ROM
4a. get a registry editor (like Resco)
4b. search the Change the key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
4c. edit - Layout in decimal to 66567
I have changed the value 00000409 into 00000407 in the registry : \\currentcontrolset\control\keyboardlayout
active > 00000409 , but still nothing happen.
Could there be some extra files are needed?

Tried as you said, but could not find oem\Qwerty or similar. It only has a \\currentcontrolset\control\keyboardlayout
active > 00000409 , changing 00000409 into 00000407 did not help.
I gusess some more files are needed!
Hello,
i have also search the registry for 00407 or 00409 and i found
entrys, but nothing changes are working.
Nobody has an solution for the keyboard problem ?

So what is your physical keyboard layout?
(i' don't know if there is a german layout)
Is it a QWERTY board?
I have upgraded my dutch (QWERTY) wizard to the 1.1.9 K-jam rom.
And it works fine, so the default key layout for that ROM is QWERTY.
i have an german keyboard and the imate k-jam rom and now
the keys z and y are not right. (and all the other symbol keys)
Other people has the same problem.
regards

my German O2 XDA's physical keyboard layout is QWERTZ, but K-Jam English Rom require a physical keyboard layout of QWERTY. So there is a Z & Y (also some symbols ) mis-placing problem.

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.

Qwerty issue after Qtek 9100 GER -> ENG (registry)

after upgrade...
as expected , the keyboard Y and Z button are wrong
But because I have a Universal Before
I thought It would be done by Registry
But I cannot find the qwerty folder in registery
But find out something interesting
in the Registry
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard layout\Preload\)
any GER ROM user can tell what is yr value inside ??
thx for yr reading and support !!

Hi,

keyboard
i also have problems after flashing rom, my keyboard works fine, but the symbols aer now different, i am talking about THE EXTERNAL keyboard, can anyone help me to fix it ?
for german layout pls do the following:
Change slide-out keyboard layout
If you have a Device from one country, but would like to use the keyboard layout of another, you can change the keyboard's language setting to do so...
For US layout (QWERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0409 (REG_SZ string)
For German layout (QWERTZ):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0407 (REG_SZ string)
For French layout (AZERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 040C (REG_SZ string)
For other codes, see: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
Note that the values are STRING values, not DWORDs!

Howto: Change keyboard layout

This is how you change your hardware keyboard layout, if for example you've flashed your X1 with another language, and your keyboard layout is messed up. I flashed my Swedish X1 with a UK rom, and I'm now using the Swedish keyboard with this registry change.
Change the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang
to whatever you want your layout to be. The default is CurLang=409 (hex).
English - 409 (tested - works)
Finnish - 40b (tested - works)
Swedish - 41d (tested - works)
German - 407 (tested - works)
Italian - 410 (tested - works)
French - 40c (tested - works)
full list of codes
Make sure to edit the value in hex!
Program to edit the registry in Windows via ActiveSync: CeRegEditor
Program to edit the registry with the phone: Total Commander
Note: This doesn't change the on-screen keyboard
Instructions for French layout later in the thread.
Thanks for this

I'd like to have "FN+C"=copy, "FN+p"=paste, "FN+x"=cut, "FN+A"= mark all, "FN+Sym"=Bluetooth on/off, "FN+àü"=wifi on/off.
Any chance to get this?
Thank you for this, I included it in my tweaks topic I found this setting two days ago in the Raphael topic too and am now very happy to use the german keyboard of my X1 with the UK rom
Don't know why my computer posted my reply to another thread in this one...
Sorry guys.
