Cyrillic layout support

Hi to all,
I am just curios if I set Russian keyboard on my device, how can I use it. I put "Locale" key in "HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\" branch, set string to 0419 (Russian keyboard), shotdown the device, wait 10 seconds. Switch it on, make soft reset, open Word and type using HW keyboard - no efect. I still typing latin symbols instead of cyrillic ones. When however I did that exercise for German keyboard I notice swap of "y" and "z" symbols. Any ideas why this tweak works for German layout, but not for Russian?
Thanks in advance

this setting just makes using cyrillic possible. To switch keyboard layout, press dot button and then [,.] button (right from space bar).

better try to instal resco keybord with bulgarian phonetic

Sliding keyboard layout change

How do I change the keybord layout from english to a layout of my choise like danish?
And how do I modify sym.0409.txt in the windows dir (read only and located in ROM)
I've alreade tried the tips on localisation of keyboard in the wiki and can't seem to get them to work.
I'm new to wm6 so please be gentle...

Welcome to WindowsMobile
I think you could give a try to :
"Restore local language support for sliding keyboard after upgrade to a different language ROM"
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry

I've tried that with little luck. I've managed to modify sym.0409.txt to a more userfriendly version. This is however only possible via PC and not directly on the device as originally tried due to the fact that I'm currently nowhere near my PC.
It seems that the hardware keyboard control is managed slightly dirrerently in the Kaiser relative to the Hermes.

Replace Virtual Keyboard with SPB Keyboard

Greets,
I have been trying to figure out how to change the regular on-screen keyboard from the Tilt to the SPB Full Screen Keyboard.
Since I do not want to change from the real keyboard (as an option), the "Input" control panel isn't the right choice.
I just want to make the SPB Keyboard come up when I hit that little keyboard icon which comes up on the bottom of the screen.
Any ideas?

This should allow you to change the default keyboard.

Try this directly. It's a keyboard that works as default properly. you don't need any external tools.

Fn - Space. Help needed!!

I have been looking in the forum for a solution for the Tilt keyboard. Everytime I ask, someone usually responds pointing me to the Tilt Keyboard Fix cab, that was posted by Taurus Bulba. Installing the cab results in the keyboard being mapped with the ATT layout (enables the CWS layout in the registry). This makes every fn key work as it should, but it kills the Fn+Space combination.
When you key Fn and Space after a character, the characters changes as per what is defined in sym049.txt (or whatever symxxx.txt file you have in the windows directory, depending on your language).
For example, if you type an "a", press Fn and Space, you get an á, then à, and â, etc. Same with other characters. This is important for those that write in foreign languages that require accents or special characters like ñ, ç, € (Euro currency sign), "£" (British pound sign), and any other letter with an accent.
I think the issue is with the CWS layout (CWS being Cingular/ATT). That layout doesn't have the Fn+Space in it; the Hermes keyboard had a blue "á" and "ü" written on the top left corner of the Space bar, indicating that Fn and Space will result in accentuated characters. The Tilt doesn't have those and in fact, when you install an original ATT Rom (no need for keyboard fix there), the Fn+Space combination doesn't work.
The only way I've seen to get Fn-Space back to life is NOT to use the CWS layout. Using any non ATT Rom will allow you to get Fn-Space working, but at the cost of getting many of the other Fn keys mapped wrong: for example, the "!" and the "@" are swapped, the ";" gives you a "%", and so on.
Sounds like the solution would be a keyboard layout that is 99% like the CWS layout, but that adds the Fn-Space combination.
Any suggestions?

You could have just used the other thread my friend.

Yes, but not getting any attention on that one...

Fixing "Fn Space" feature
This kills the word suggestion feature, but enables you to use the FN-Space function again:
SOLVED!!! - HTC WM6.1 ROM : Missing "Fn Space" function?
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see you responding there aswell

Get MS keyboard back in WM 6.5

The HTC keyboards don't have a "Ctrl" key so I can't copy or paste in some programs - how can I get the default MS keyboard back?

Has it ever had a Ctrl key?
Cheers, Rob.

Yes it has a Ctrl-key.
I want the keyboard also back

I have searched a long time for this, tried many regedits but never succeeded. Your best option is to pay for Resco Keyboard Pro.

TouchPal keyboard also has copy and paste functions.

Hey guys, I was looking for the MS keyboard too! I cant copy/cut paste or Ctrl z anymore with the HTC qwerty.

The free Finger Keyboard 2.1 has copy and paste facilities: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122.
Make sure you install the WVGA version.

Iphone like keyboard (HTC Topaz)?
I am looking for a keyboard that works well with fat fingers the iphone board is so much better then the one I have on my TOPAZ

To get MS keyboard, I do this:
Modify this registry first:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSIPInputMethod]
"Default"="1" (by default it is "0")
Then install this program in phone memory:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414422
Then modify the registry as follows:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HtcExtFun]
"StylusOutSipName"="Keyboard"
"StylusInSipName"="Touch Input"
Finally restart.
This way, when stylus is in, it will switch to HTC's Touch Input (Full, Compact or Phone pad depending on your last selection) then when you take out the stylus it will switch to the MS Keyboard.

Why use a keyboard for copy/cut/past?
Here is what I've done...
Install the keys controler from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555821
Change the behavior of the volume keys:
VOL DOWN :
- single click : default
- double click : Emulate CTRL+C to OS
- long click : Emulate CTRL+X to OS
VOL UP :
- single click : default
- double click : default
- long click : Emultate CTRL+V to OS
And it's working with all the applications....

And I quote:
This is for Topaz only! Do not try to install this on other devices!
Do not ask me to make a version for other device since my remappers are driver dependent and this can be very and very complicated without real device (if possible at all).
Nice one though romualdrichard, But I'd use it if I had a Topaz or a program just like that for my MDAcIV

If you go to Menu>Settings>Personal>Input and from there select "Keyboard" from the drop down menu.
By the way, the gestures will also work on the small buttons.

I know they also work on the small kb, but my point is that I like the layout with the other two options on. The row with numbers is gone so it leaves more space for the letter buttons.
The reason I cant turn on these options is because I'm using Benko's v5.0ROM (6.5) and that ROM has only the Touch Input kb. I think the chef took out the settings from the drop menu. Also there's no input settings in the personal settings, so I cant change the ks settings.

Can I just add MS Keyboard without installing the additional code? I want MS Keyboard whether stylus is in or out.

Use the same procedure, but put "Keyboard" for both registry strings.

Thaks for this....
Also I was thinking to go for WVGA version of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122
Which one will be good for easy????

Can't really give an opinion on that... I always have prefered the MS kb. Other kb's that are finger friendly are the latest HTC kb's. Or the EzInput kb's which is simular to the HTC kb's.
