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,..)

Keyboard
You need to remap your keyboard. You can use a registry edidtor, but I don't remember the reg. value. It depends of your wizard. Where is it from. For example i got mine from france and the letters are not "qwerty" but "azerty" That thing don't bother me tough, coz I have english keyboard and I know where to find the keys.
Edit registry key \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\ and change String Key called "Locale" to "0409"
mine is form germany o2 xda mini s. and i use english rom and have qwerty keybord on my xda.
have you seen remapping registry in any forum offcourse about keyboard pls tell me
sorry i saw reply by baarod a little bit late. im trying whay you say tnx
tnx baarod but it changes nothing. still same
What AKU are you on now? If >=3.0 then you must use the new IME reg patches. I don't have a WM5 device here now as all mine are testing WM6 but from what I remember this patch should work.
aku 3.3 installed on my device. i added all in text to regestry. but still same.
when xda mini s came to me a german rom was installed but i dont know did i have same problem in german rom. do you think installing any german rom can fix it
use aekmap to install the german keyboard settings
http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
they have free layouts for the wizard in german.
And did a soft reset?
That should change the keyboard layout for either AKU. You could also try to download http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php but I'm pretty sure it does the same things.
yes i did soft reset after all changes. bye the way i installed aekmap but
now im downloading a german rom if it fix or not i inform you tnx a lot
i cant believe this. i installed german rom everything ok. then i installed english rom i have same problem still keyboard error. im hating bill gates much more then before
ok i used the reg wizard, use the english tab. but now the damn clock wont show on the screen. help
hustle can you send reg wizard. coz i dont need clock on screen
Hi
Thxs to Pencilcase,
I read this thread as I have a German T-Mobile HTC PU10 MDA that I upgraded the rom to 1.30.68 WWE. This worked quite well for me but mapped my Keybaord to QWERTY rather than what it is QWERTZ. ie Y and Z swapped along with variuos FN kys changed. I have been luiving with it for almost a year. I just follow Pencilcases instrcctions below and downloaded aekmap (free) and the English-Gernan Key borad and now Z and Y are in the right places (still some FN not were they should be but I am ging to work on correcting that. Do it yourself instructions for modifying layouts are included.
Thanks Pencilcase
Nigel

I want to put my keyboard in Spanish under WM6 and the old locale string in registry doesn't work.
It seems it uses this new IME reg, so I think applying this should work... the only thing is that I don't have the kbdsp.dll for the Spanish language.
Somebody know how to get it? I have found a version of it, but for XP. Do you think it will work in WM6?
I have a tilt and it seems that my fn is not working properly.
what i mean is that when i use the fn + another key it never corresponds to the key that is on my keyboard...
ex:
fn + E = ? in my case it always give me something different than what in blue on my keyboard.
can anyone help me fix this problem
thank you for your time in advance
Have you flashed a different rom to it? possibly one written for the Kaiser? is so look for the the keyboard fix there is one I've seen it I just don't know where it was but I know it was here.
This is where you want to go if you have an AT&T Tilt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
For Example:
This will make my Fn + X to be "

ive intalled the cab fix you guys suggested and still no luck
btw ive flashed the duttys v3 rom
does anyone has the same problem???
it requires a soft-reset... have you done that?
Having just seen an image of the AT&T branded TP2 at engadget, I see they messed with the keyboard layout compared to the HTC original. Other carriers have also tinkered, such as moving the FN key and including or not the Ctrl key.
I've only ever flashed roms before on an Athena (Dopod U1000) and Ipaq hx4700, which didn't have this issue, so I never thought about this before. If I get the AT&T version, will there be compatibility problems when flashing cooked roms for the unbranded version? I know that cdma versions need their own cooked roms. Will it be the same situation for users of the AT&T and T-MO USA versions?
Thanks.

The same problem occured on the Kaiser, once Cooked ROM's appear I'm sure someone will make a CAB to set the keyboard layout right for your device. Just install the CAB after flashing each ROM and you'll be fine - put it in your UC / SASHMI script so you never forget .

Thanks very much, Dave. That's great news.
I think the Hardware Keyboard Layout is defined with that Registry entry:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]
For german TP2's it is:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]
"07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt"
and for WWE TP2's it is:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]
"07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.WWE.kmap.txt"
After dumping the official ROM and making Packages, I found some interesting files inside the IME Engine Western package:
eT9.Rhodium.0C0A.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.040C.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.0410.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.0414.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.0419.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.Cingular_US.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.swiss.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.TMOUS.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.wwe_ara.kmap.txt
eT9.Rhodium.wwe_rus.kmap.txt
Thanks animelover! This works in the new 6.5 NRG ROM for my german layout!
In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KDBFiles] I changed the entry 07FF to "eT9.HQD_GER.kdb"
while in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]
I changed the entry 07FF to "eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt" (as stated in the post above).
I'm not sure if the first step is 100% necessary, especially for other layouts, but it worked for me.
Note for users with the german layout: The kmap file needs to be edited by switching Z and Y in the VK column. My kmap is attached...
Has anyone gotten the T-Mobile TP2 layout to work?

no luck so far
I opened the eT9.Rhodium.TMOUS.kmap.txt from my \windows in notepad, but don't know how to fix it - the ALT key does not work (its called the FN key in the txt file - which makes sense since in Fuze and kaiser, it was FN key) and the CTRL key does not work - the txt file - leaves that as blank.
This is what it says:
___
// Row 5
{0xEC 0xEC 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xff} // FN - 0xEC = FN
{0x11 0x11 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xff} // CTRL
{0xF2 0xF2 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xff} // MSG - 0xF2 = MSG
___
Any ideas?

Ctrl + C - copy
CTRL+V - paste
just like on a desktop
<post deleted; wrong thread, sry>
on tmobile touch pro2 US with any cooked ROM (Fursion Power or EnergyROM) - the ALT and CTRL are switched on the h/w keyboard - anyone know enough about kmap.txt to be able to switch it out?
would be a great help!
Thanks!
load stock ROM, use Remote Registry to export all settings that have to do with keyboard, load custom ROM, copy registry settings over and your control key should work. If anyone finds the right keys then post so everyone knows the fix.

Hi all,
I'm having problems getting my Sweish/Nordic keyboard to work as it should now that I've flashed the NRG ROM.
In my original stock rom the registry entries were [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KDBFiles] 07FF as "eT9.HQD.kdb" and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\Keyboard LayouFiles] 07FF as "eT9.Rhodium.0414.kmap.txt". Withese settings in NRG all that happens is that the FN and Shift keys stop working. The basic characters work fine but any capitals or "special" characters are shot.
Any ideas on what I should try next?
Thanks/McHan

You exported the wrong keys. These aren't what is the issue. Download my reg fix for the TMOUS TP2. I forget the exact location, but it is in that reg file.

Thanks gehzumteufel. Naive question, but do you have any idea where I might find the correct registry values for my Nordic keyboard?
Thanks/M
Hm, I had hoped that changing the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD] "CurLang" value to 414 (which was the local language I had on the original SW-KB) would do the trick. But no, no such luck The key that's in the T-Mobile"fix" but which I don't have now is "LayoutID"=dword:00000213. Any idea what this does?
Norwegian keyboard layout file
Hi, thanks to the guides on here, I made a norwegian layout file for the Rhodium. It worked perfect with the NRG 6.5 ROM.
It is attached, either copy it to the windows folder using Total commander and then change the registry value to "eT9.Rhodium.wwe-nor.kmap.txt" or simply rename the original wwe file first and then copy this file in using the standard name (eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt) to avoid editing the registy.
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.
