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,..)

AZERTY keyboard for Qtek 9100 ROM

Hey guys, I have an Orange SPV M3000 with an AZERTY keyboard. but I've flashed it with a Qtek 9100 ROM. Obviously, the keyboard in Qtek ROM is qwerty. Can someone post here a CAB file for azerty keyboard, cause this way it would be much easier for me, as I wouldn't bother remembering that when i want to write "w" i have to press "q" and so on.
Thanks

dimushor, please search the forum before ask something. this topic has been discused many times. however, here's the solution: create new string value called Locale in \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd with value of 040C. that's it! you'll have AZERTY layout.

it doesn't work :x

did you soft reset after making the change? If you didn't.. dur
did you wait a while before performing that soft reset ? (easily checked by checking that registry value - if it's back to the original, you didn't wait (long enough))
for further information:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Changing_Device_Language
( note that "1036" in decimal is the same as "040C" in hexadecimal )

thanks, i managed to do that, thanx to zoki

This does NOT work on my 9100 with the 2.24a Mr. Clean ROM. The value is getting written into the registry but the keyboard layout does not change.
/politby

it works with Mr. Clean's ROM. don't forget: do not soft reset with the stylus. soft reset it with a program.

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.

I've also got a German Device with english ROM...
I managed to change y to z and vice-versa - but all the FN-Combinations (on the hardware keyboard) (i.e. FN+a --> ä) won't work - the combinations are those of a WWE hardware keyboard...

I attached you a file made by driftar - I haven't had any success with those files (from German ROM) but maybe you're luckier...

Try this to get a German keyboard!
Hi,
have you ever tried to change:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFiles\07FF
to
eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt
Here you go
Cheers,
D

I have made a .cab for you (German Keyboard with WWE ROM).
I have key enhanced with FN-T for tabulation and FN-E for é.
You can edit the file eT9.Rhodium.spec_chfr.kmap.txt in Windows directory after installing and rebooting to match your custom special key.

Thank you

otherwise for the std keyboard
