About the keyboard.

currently i am using O2 Xda Exec, and i installed the chinese font patch, so that i can see chinese ( except for the IE and isilo)
and i installed monster chinese 'input' , so that i can type in chinese words.
but i only can use the on screen keyboard to type in chinese, everytime when i want to use the actual keyboard to type, the on screen keyboard will disapper and i only can use the actual keyboard to type in english
does anyone know that how can i use the actual keyboard to type in chinese by using the monster chinese ' input' ?
really thx..

oh..no one know?

Can i change O2 Rom to work correctly with spanish keyboard?

Hi,
In the office I have a qtek 9000 spanish version (spanish keyboard). I have upgraded to O2 english rom. Everything is fine but the keyboard. Some specials keys (colon, semicolon, etc) doesnt match keyboard because the rom "thinks" my keyboard is an "english keyboard". Is there any way to change it? maybe remapping the scan codes? may be applying a pach)?
Thanks

Was just looking into this...
I was just checking the other forums on this and came across some interesting posts in the wizard section on remmapping keyboard by way of a reg edit. Here is the data pertaining to the wizard. You can probably do the same with the Universal. CREDIT GOES TO OAINOT for this.
Now we need a small registry hack.
1. Use a registry editor like total commander.
2. Go to \HKCU(HK Current User)\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale.
3. Change the value of the key "Locale" from "0809" to "0407". "0407" is the locale ID for Standard German. You can find other Locale ID suitable for you at: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx.
4. Do a soft reset and enjoy. All the keys and symbols have fixed right.
Try this.
I found this info by doing a forum search for "QWERTZ" (the german keyboard layout).
Good Luck and let me know how it goes.

o2 mini XDA S Keyboard layout wrong after I-mate ROM update

So i bought myself an o2 mini xda s - Wow it ran like a dog when i first got it. So i updated the rom with the latest imate ROM, after first unlocking the device. Works great, superrr fast!
However now my keyboard is mapped wrong. Physically on my "A" key i have also the "!" on "S" i have the "@". Now, after ROM update, pressing "!" will give me "~" pressing "@" gives me "!" - everything is shifted right one.
I was pointed at the shareware app AEKmapp, but its another app that has to load, and i dont like that. Its also not free, is there another solution to restore my keyboard?

i had this problem as well. The O2 mini S is a ENGLISH (UK) qwerty keyboard which is actually physically different from the K-Jam and 9100 keyboard. I have been using the registries tweak program in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725 which allows you to choose a UK or US keyboard layout. I assume there is a registry edit for it somewhere as well. but this is a good way to solve it as well.

Thanks for the thought of why the keyboard 'dot' characters are messed up. Here are the registry changes ....
16. Keyboard language
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
Key: Locale (string)
Value: 0809 English UK
0409 English US
0407 German
0419 Russian
040C French
0410 Italian
040A Spanish
Thanks to "nicodekker" for publishing the list of hacks in the link above.

i had the exactly the same problem as ferrerpheonix. now everything is ok. thank you very much guys.

Change Keyboard QWERTY to QWERTZ

Hello,
I would like to know whether it was possible to change the hardware keyboard QWERTY to QWERTZ ?
Do you know a website for detached parts for the HTC Shift ?
I'am the english version of the HTC Shift
Thank you very much.

Same problem here, any ideas?

if you want to change the keyboard layout you find here some registry hacks.
(if you use a english rom with german hardware keyboard layout)
or you want to buy a new hardware keyboard with german letters? maybe I have a contact to HTC in germany where I can order a new german or Swiss Keyboard..

I have already searched for registry tweaks, but none of these works for HTC Shift hardware keyboard.

Do you try that?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424136

Yes, but it does not work (on HTC official ROM).

hmm.. do you try with search function on registry editor (you can use the free total commander registry editor) to search for your at the moment installed language code (maybe 409??) and change all entrys that you found to 407?, then you do a soft reset..

same here, i am on a wizard. tried everything. its only new rom's!

Portuguese keyboard on WWE ROM

I have a WWE ROM and I would like to keep it. However, I do kneed the portuguese keyboard, because of the accents and characters specific to the portuguese language. Is there a way to change just the keyboard, like in regular windows? Sorry if this question is silly, but I'm new to Windows Mobile.
Thanks.
UPDATE: found out the solution

please share your solution with everyone. I am in similar situation, but need danish keyboard layout for WWE ROM

I also need the Portuguese Keyboard and don't want to install 3rd party keyboards. I like HTC's. Please share your solution.
Thanks.

I found a workaround, if not a solution. I have no problem with the US layout of the keyboard, just needed Portuguese special characters. The workaround is to tap and hold the key then the special characters appear. For instance, if you tap and hold "a" you can access "á, à, ã" etc. So this works for Portuguese and Spanish at least. Don't know about other languages. Hope this helps others.
PS: of course there still remains no T9 beside English.
