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...

Hi All,
I've recently installed the HTC Diamond Keyboard on my TytnII. Its great but, there is an issue with the old standard keyboard.
The issue being that the diamond keyboards cannot predict more that one word, whereas the old keyboard can predict a lot more. However since installing the above, the word prediction no longer works on the standard keyboard.
Please help. Thanks

Ok First Thing, this post would be more useful in the Thread in which you got the Keyboard CAB.
Secondly, Yeah it does that. The Diamond Keyboard installs XT9, which I personally think is utter crap. So maybe, if you want, you can find the Disable XT9 Cab and install it on your device. See if that helps.
Hi all, just got the diamond last week, damn its nice, just the battery life sucks.
I used to own a UK T-Mobile Mda 3, loved the calender as i change shifts a lot, was looking to replace it a few months back heard tell of the diamond so decided to wait.......however...
The sms full keyboard on my old MDA3 used to allow predictive words (t9 i think) but the diamond does not seem to, I like the keyboard layout over the qwerty or comapct qwerty as they both take up too much for the screen for my taste.
The t9 does not seem to work in the keybaord layout, i think i have all the settings correct, as it works in the other 2 setups but not keybaord.
also, is there a website that lists all the compatible 6.1 programs? not sure what i want, but more like teeter would be nice, or even a different sms prog that allows predictive text!!
Cheers

The same for me. T9 works only using qwerty layout. If you use keyboard layout predictive text doesn't work. Someone has an idea ? My rom is 1.37 from HTC official italian.
Thanks in advance

Found it ! Thanks to newtonmj in modaco forum
You must chaange the registry key XT9SupportMSSip in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\ from '0' to '1'.
This allows the predictive text to work correctly in standard keyboard too.
I don't know if this mod can "damage" other settings but I don't think. It allows the predictive input to work using microsoft standard keyboard. In my device now works !

Very nice. I think I'll try it. But I wanted that worked correctly standard keyboard without adding third part software. What is standard in my device MUST work correctly. Then perhaps I'll not use it, but this is another thing
I'm paranoic. But I can't accept that a phone worth about 500€ does't go in the appropriate way......
Hi,
I don't know what I've done, but when I'd like to write some message, or whatever, the original keyboard (full qwerty, or compact qwerty) keyboard starts up with the symbol pad and it's not possible to switch it back to alphanumeric mode. The only way is to invoke keyboard switch menu and select the same keyboard again. then it works as usual. Does anybody have the same problem?
as I said, I don't know, what I've done, or installed, bud I think, I've installed Advanced config 3.0 recently
I have the same problem... I also don't know what is wrong.
I also tried to disabled T9 with some tricks... that's all...
Some suggestions??
Thnx
Since yesterday I also have a problem with my HTC keyboards.
All 3 options, Qwerty, Compact Qwerty and the phonepad only gives me numbers.
I have tried all the settings.
It does not make a diverence if i turn of T9.
On the keyboard i can see the nummbers and the letters.
This is very irritating, can somebody please help?
Or is there an original cab version, al the cabs i can find are Qvga.
I have tried the Touch keyboard and it gives letters in stead of numbers, but its Qvga.
Thanks
Same problem here on the CDMA Diamond, I tried two different ROMs already the Sprint Stock ROM and a Telus Custom Juicy's 2.0 ROM. I can't use it at all and I hate doing a Hard Reset. Someone shed some light on this please.
Same problem here, have tried everything
Well I solved the problem by uninstalling PCM Keyboard... Too bad, I really liked it
Does anybody know if it's possible to run pcm keyboard without having this issue on the diamond?
since day 1 my keyboard did not show predict text ? anyone can help me ?
I had the same problem , it appeared from nowhere ..
After also trying different tricks , i solved the problem using Resco Keyboard
Pro ... It also responds much better to my taste with the touch screen
interface of the diamond.
I have had this problem on the Touch Pro too having used PCM keyboard.
Unistalled it and all back to normal.
Pity.
Same here, alas PCM's copy & paste was cool, but not if I can't use the other keyboards...

How do you use copy & paste with PCM? Which version of PCM keyboard are you using?
I have recently updated to a fairly stripped down ROM (it only included the bog standard Keyboard thts way too small to use with finger).
I really like the HTC Keypad as it's easy as hell to use - but I've just tried to install it by installing EZinput and its showing about half the proper resolution - I think its QVGA. This has been a problem now for about 3-4 days and I absolutely despise having to use a QWERTY keypad. Currently got SPB keyboard on it (tried Resco too but its rubbish).
Can anyone upload their original diamond keypad or even an installation cab with all the VGA keyboards in? (qwerty, phone keypad etc).
Would be a great help!
Thanks guys.

download the keyboard of your choice (with arrow or without arrow)
That should work for you
does this have a keypad as in standard with * and # keys?
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
* 0 #
That style? Thats the one im looking for!
Thanks btw! didnt even know that site existed
This is the alternative if you want it in a keypad format
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
The difference between that and the previous one is there is no XT9 which is similar to T9 but with word prediction. Hope this helps
You my friend -
are the biggest legend in the world. Thats the stock VGA diamond one - and thats what I wanted!
Thank you so much.
p.s the damn no-arrows diamond2 one wont work... any idea why?
it wont let me select it :-(
Try this one: http://www.everythingdiamond.info/downloads/Savage25rcracer_TD2_K_NA.cab
That's the one that I cant select! :-(
Think I'll just need to change ROMs again.
Woooo. :-(
Just tried to install that keypad linked - wont work. Also wont uninstall.
The one with the arrows works but its damn annoying.
Hi there!
I have a problem, i just flashed my wing to OTV7.
It works great, BUT heres the thing.
My keyboard is swedish (has öäå). But the english herald
don't have the same hotkeys like my keyboard.
Is there a way to change the keyboard language or any rom that's
using the swedish keyboard?
If it's is impossible, is it hard to get the windows software back that
i had in the first place?
thank you for helping me
Kind regards
Pontus
No matter which rom I put in my Herald, I always install the attached cab. Don't know the source of it. Found it on a second hand Herald I bought a while ago.
Always works though, even with 6.5 roms.
Lycka till!
