[Q] Need to replace/alter Hard Keyboard Mapping - help? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hey Guys,
I flashed my HTC 8925 with a new ROM, but the hardware keyboard mapping is now all off. Can you point me in the direction of/does a repository exist of Stock Hard Keyboard CAB's?
Or can anyone tell me how to make my own CAB so I can fix it?
Thanks!

Keyboard config for AT&T ROM on HTC-branded Kaiser

Anyone know how to switch the keyboard configuration? This is very much the same problem as many TyTN users experienced when installing an operator ROM: my keyboard has symbols in the wrong place (e.g. ! and @ are reversed - I have an @ over the Q and a ! over the W).
The instructions posted in the Hermes wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Problems) and in various threads (like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283881) don't work, as the registry key ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]) doesn't exist. Maybe this is because it was written to help Cingular 8525 customers install HTC ROMs, which is the opposite thing I want to do. In fact I can't find the string "qwerty" in the registry at all. Creating the OEM\Qwerty key and populating the suggested value doesn't work.
Anyway if someone knows how to get the HTC symbol mapping back please let me know. Alternatively if anyone has the release version of the HTC Kaiser ROM, that would probably do the trick for me too.

I assume you've already tried this ROM?
Here is the cab fix for the 8525 keyboard being messed up. I'm attaching it below.. but I don't know if it just uses the same registry fix.
If the above Image isn't the latest release for the kaiser I wouldn't worry too much as people are starting to get the HTC RTM kaiser right now and I'm sure the official rom will be posted soon.
I've tried 'em all. Because they're AT&T ROMs they all have the AT&T Mappping. Why do carriers have to change the mappings of their keyboards at all?
thanks anyway.
I'm sure you've already found this solution...but was trying to find it myself and had to deduce it from reading how the forum people were able to do the reverse (assign AT&T layout to non-AT&T ROM).
Try this:
delete the registry key HKLM/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/KEYBD/CWSLayout
Note that this works for correcting the keyboard layout problem when flashing a Rogers ROM on the HTC-branded kaiser

I think you ment THIS post
Still Nada here for this guy.
Tried,
Keyboard Fix WMXL 8525.cab
WM VI 8525 Keyboard Patch.CAB
Ive looked in my registry for the CWSLayout
Tried the reg edit for the qwerty key and the suggested edits were the values I already have.
Nada...
Ive got a Rogers Tytn that Ive upgraded using a ATT 8525rom
everything works great, other than the 8 symbol keys.
Any more suggestions?

Hello
i think i posted this in various locations already.but i really need this fixed cuz it's driving me crazy
and i need the help of all u gurus
basically after i installed Dutty's Final rom2, the keyboard letters are screwed up in the phonepad screen
i was told to install the keyboard fix for the TILT and ya it DID work,
the phone pad screen is working, but the thing is, the function keys aren't working... they're all misplaced and jumbled up.
i been lookin for methods to fix this and until now, no cure
i played with the registry, the KEYBD code and all that, nothing work
PLEASE GURUS

What country are you from? I have a Tilt, from USA, with a non-ATT ROM. I had the same issue you describe but as soon as I applied the TaurusBulba Keyboard Fix my keyboard was working appropriately.
UK
ya i used that already.
like i said, it did fix the keyboard in the phonepad
but it screwed up the function keys
i tried to set the keyboard layout in registry to the UK setting
still no change

Remap keys on Tytn II / Kaiser

I just flashed my Tytn II with a new rom and some of my keys are now wrong i.e. press fn Q and get ! instead of @. I've searched and cannot find a fix for this. I tried putting on Alex's keyboard fix and it didn't work. Does anyone know where I can find the file that has to be edited to the right characters or a cab that will do it for me. Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been searching for 2 hours and can't find anything. Thanks
Use Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool to change Keyboard Layout parameter.
Thanks, but I tried that too and it doesn't work. Is there not a txt file or something which I can edit?
I created a virtual keymapping for the difference between the HTC Herald & T-mobile Wing. Maybe this will work for you because it sounds just like the problem we had over in the Herald forum....
So try this :
KEYBOARD FIX for WING / HERALD & ROM hardware keyboard (keybddr.dll) mismatch
Use the Herald keyboard Fix ... because i think the herald & kaiser have the same keyboard layout.

Thanks for the response... But it didn't work either. I appreciate the help though. Any other manual ways to do this?

OK, I got it working thanks to a great member who had already dealt with this so I copied and pasted from the other thread and here's the answer:
4) The Rogers ROM changes the hardware keyboard layout. The layout is the same as used by the AT&T Tilt and so some of the keys behave differently (for example pressing @ brings up a ! and visa-versa). To fix this problem I needed to delete the registry key HKLM>HARDWARE>DEVICEMAP>KEYBD>CWSLayout

Hi,
I've recently bought an HTC TyTN II and am having problems with the keyboard. The "alt" keys are not how they are mapped on the keyboard, and I can't get a comma.
I've tried the above methods apart from the Rogers ROM, the link supplied isn't active any longer and googling the rom there are loads to choose from.
Can anybody help me?
Cheers,
Craig

where did u get the file? show me the link

This is where I got the cab file from. (Cab Installer WWE version).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336587
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=55596&d=1193351352
After installing, the contact autocomplete feature seems to be disabled.
Also, the predictive text feature for both hardware keyboard and soft keyboard seems to be disabled as well instead the xT9 menu will appear.
Can this issue be resolved?
this cab disables XT9 in my dual, maybe you can give it a try..
Cheers..

Somewhere you can find a .cab named "tilt keyboard fix" (for example at page 1 in TPC's V11 thread): it will map your tilt keyboard.
HTC Kaiser and AT&T Tilt have some differences in keyboard layout
Just search the Kaiser section for tilt keyboard fix.
This might help you
