I just noticed that the file is available on the FTP too! ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Misc/
Thank you but that is the cab that kills the buttons with the new rom. It has worked with all other roms but with new one the buttons stops working. And I have hard reset the phone three times and then installed the cab and every time it kills the buttons if I enable any of the buttonlock feantures. The only button working after that is the powerbutton.
I think I will go back to the test rom from Qtek - at least it makes a working hardware keyboard
I have the same problem. I even downloaded and installed Norwegian version of this new i-mate rom hoping that there is a new CAB for nordic keyboard in the extended ROM, but I was wrong Seems that it is done in some other way now.
Re: How to get swedish hardware keyboard with new Imate rom
I too had the same problem with buttons and keyboard not working after flashing the I-Mate ROM. However, after some fiddling around I found out that changing "Buttons/Lock" settings from "Lock all buttons except Power button" made everything work again...
Cheers,
Christer

Re: How to get swedish hardware keyboard with new Imate rom
For me they work fine with that setting untill I install scandinavian support for the hardwarekeyboard - then they stop working independently of what setting I use.
Have you installed the scandinavian hardwarekeyboard cab ? Can you write swedish characters with it ?

Ok, I installed the CAB again to get swedish keyboard working. Again - hardware keys do not work. I did set button lock to "Do not lock buttons". Buttons really work now, but of course these are not locked any more. And another bug found now - when I turn off the device (sleep mode) it turns itself on in couple of seconds. Really annoying. I have to hard reset now again to get rid of the keyboard CAB
I haven't upgraded to the new ROM yet because of this..
But, one question. Have any of you guys tried just setting the proper registry value? The cabs also contain a keybddr.dll which seems to be a system level keyboard driver. I'm thinking this could be causing the problem.
The registry key I'm talking about is HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and the String value "Locale" changed to "0414" for Norwegian layout.
edit: Priit. You said you installed the Norwegian version of the ROM, and the hardkeyboard worked? Could you try extracting the keybddr.dll from \Windows and replacing that file when/if you try out the English ROM? Or even better, attach it here so others can try.
I tried again, did a hardreset and installed the cab. When I have the option set to "Do not lock buttons" all buttons except the D-pad works. But without a D-pad the phone is useless. The other two lock options kills all buttons except powerbutton.
Shall try the registry thing
Tokay, I just found out also that locale ID 0414 works (CAB also creates the same registry key).
Previously I tried with 041d (Swedish) and that did not work.
huh. So all keys work, including the D-pad?
Sweet. Guess this ROM will be installed after work today.. still hate that silly battery indicator on the task bar, though.. :?
Yep. Reinstalled and configured all my software and doublechecked: hardware keyboard acts as it should, all hardware keys ok, including D-pad.
I don't have Norwegian version installed any more but you don't probably want that file any more either

I have no idea how you pull this off. I've modified my registry numerous times, using several different editors (resco, total commander) and the results are very odd.
My keyboard never writes åöä like when I installed the CAB fix with the original ROM (I'm now using the KJAM Rom).
And the strangest thing is, that the changes I make to the registry only "stick" 10% of the time. The rest of the time, my original registry value is restored when I soft reset. I am now stuck with 041d for Swedish. I've also tried (and had the following values stuck):
040b: Finnish
041d: Swedish
0414: Norwegian bokmal
Nothing seems to make any difference though. I can write ä, if I press <blue ball> + symbol four or five times after writing the letter A, but that's probably not the "fix" you guys are cheering about
EDIT: I seem to have found the reason. If I immediately soft reset after editing the registry, it won't stick. That makes "sense" in a weird sort of way, but it still won't fix the order in which åöä appear when I press the blue ball+symbol.
-JJ
Try this CAB I've made. And don't press reset button, but hold down power button until you see a warning "Device will be off, and ...". Press Yes then.

I'm using an english hardware keyboard with norwegian layout (0414).
I've heard someone complain about the swedish not working, but I haven't tested it.
Try "blue ball" + arrow keys. See if you get scandinavian characters...
The swedish characters are also on the norwegian layout (0414), so I suggest you try that if you can't get the swedish working:
I've set it to 0414 (norwegian) and it works like this:
blue+up = å
blue+left = ø
blue+right = æ
blue+down = ä
blue+period (.) = ö
note that 0414 also changes a few other special symbols:
blue+a = :
blue+g = ,
blue+h = '
blue+z = ?
blue+m = /
blue+tab = ~
(I wrote the new symbols onto small white stickers and put them on my keyboard - it's not pretty but it speeds up my typing)

Thanks Priit for your effort with the cab, which I ended up not having to use, since I only have linux at home and I can't activesync install programmes...
Although, since I got this device just a few days ago, I forgot I could probably have done it over my wlan. Takes some time to get used to.
Anyway, thanks to you too, Bredita. I can now confirm that neither the finnish or the swedish locale work with my international keyboard. I wasn't too keen on using the Norwegian locale, what with all your silly letters O with dash through it and so on.
But here's the deal: the norwegian locale 0414 WORKS for me as well.
My mistake was, that I thought I had to use it the same way as the cab I got from our vendor. With their patch, I would write the letter "a", and then press blueball+space (symbol). This would turn the previous letter (a) into first "ä" , then "å".
But this way is much faster: I get everything with only two presses, just as easily as writing capital letters with shift. So this is awesome indeed.
A word of caution about the registry editing though. I saw other people claimed that the registry would simply return to its previous value after a soft reset. This happens if you reset immediately after changing the registry. It appears the changes you make aren't actually going into the registry, but some kind of "copy" of the registry, which is synced every now and then. What works for me is, if I wait for as long as it takes until the screen turns off by itself, before resetting.
I confirmed this happens with other registry values as well: I changed the "usealternateedgeicon" to 1, then immediately performed a soft reset and the value was back to 0. So if your registry doesn't play ball, give it a few seconds before resetting.
EDIT: Just found a related thread:

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.
Cyb
Also check out AE Keyboard Mapping Software
Thanks, I have solved it in other way.
I ve changed the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty from 66569 (english) to 68617 (spanish) and works fine
hello
i have qwertz keyboard
and Italian rom
how i must change the key?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM
why I don't see qwertz key in the registry?
if
I must create new one?
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.
Hi Forum,
I installed the japanese IME as it was discribed at another forum (http://www.firstloox.org/forums/showthread.php?s=c973622a044a5a4a87c1f6099f097d74&t=4510), and it seems to work almost perfect on my qtek 9100, new German ROM installed. Only problem: the program changes the keyboard settings, means that I can't use the symbol- key (function+space) any more, so ä, ü, ö, ', ... are gone. I already tried AEKMap, when downloading the German keyboard file, it doesn't show up within the program. I inserted a new string called "Locale" to the registry-settings at HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd etc., as it was posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44489
-nothing helped. Do I miss something?? I will go to Japan next Saturday and desperately neeeeeed a Japanese IME- but also my German keyboard layout!
Greetings from Berlin,
Andreas
Hi again, some more information: It seems that the keyboard is working, the only thing which doesn't work is the "symbol"-key (the "blue dot + space"-combination). Does anybody know if there's something hidden in the registry how I can re-map it and get it back to work??
Thanks,
Andreas
There's a text file you'd need. You can easily create this yourself, though it might help to just find it somewhere.

Hi ZeBoxx,
doesn't work for me, unfortunately. As I said, the layout of the keyboard is ok, only thing is the missing function of the "symbol"-key. I played around with different keyboard settings, they all work ok BUT this symbol think doesn't. Any other ideas??
Andreas
Did you specifically read this last part?
Symbols List - Changing the symbols when using the Sym hardware key along with a regular key (select devices)
Change the Symbols List
To change the Symbols List simply find the file "\Windows\sym.txt", and edit + save this file. The structure of the file is pretty straight-forward:
On each line, type the regular letter or number for the key as it is when normally pressed. Follow that letter up with the alternative characters ('Symbols') in the order you wish for them to appear. For example, from a WWE ROM:
eèéêë
This will replace the letter 'e' when using the Sym key with 'è', then when striking the Sym key again with 'é', then 'ê', and so on.

Sure, but as I said, it's not the problem that this text file is wrong or anything- it seems that the symbol key doesn't work at all. No matter how many times I use this combination (blue dot + space), nothing changes, no effect on any letter/symbol/etc.
In the meanwhile I did a hard reset, installed all the apps again, same issue. I uninstalled the japanese IME, back to normal. I'm pretty sure that this prog changes some registry setting I need for the use of the symbol-key- I searched the whole registry, but since I'm not familiar at all with this I didn't find anything helpful...
Andreas
got exactly the same problem. Searching Internet and all but I dont find any solution: there must be a registry entry enabeling it but where...
Yep, got the same problem. Finding it hard to search for relevant problems to do with this. Any help would be apprieciated.
My O2 XDA Mini S has a QWERTZ keyboard layout, and the WM software uses QWERTY layout, thats why whwn I type using the keyboard, Ive always misused the Y with the Z, and vise versa. Also the symbols are all rumnbled into places. Is there a way I can use the QWETZ layout using the english WM, because I believe that the QWERTZ layout maybe compatible to WM German version. (I dont understant german, so I need the english version). Please help, because I dont think I can do anything with the physical layout of my keyboard so I just need a modification with the software.
you need to edit the keyboard language in the registry. the default is 0409 for english. im not sure what the german one is, but check the wiki, i'm sure you can find out some more info in there.
look at the next post, i figured it out
-Nstefanelli-
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0407
You have to edit the registry, you need to change it from 0409 to the above.
Good luck.
-Nstefanelli-
Hi. I'm not able to safe any keys in the registry.
Done and rebooted. Edit was gone.
Maybe issue with my Registry editor?
I use the german keyboard as well. The easiest solution to that is the Registry wizard
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Upload/cabs/RegistryWizard_PPC.ARMV4.cab
There you just change the keyboard to German and done with it.
As to the other, you should always wait a couple of minutes before reboot, looks like it actually take some time for the system to write it back into the registry.
In addition, it's moire than just the one key to change.
Bye
In here any simular cab like this, but for Czech qwertz keyboard?
Thanx in advance!

But this location is not working for me
I have the same problem again....
This fix worked for me with wm5 but I just upgraded to wm6 and kb went to qwerty mode (the hardware is a qwertz).
I tried adding the above-mentioned key to the recommended location, and it did not work (that key does not initially exist on wm6).
I also found two keys: \\\registry\hkcu\keyboard layout\preload\default, and \\\registry\hkcu\keyboard layout\preload\1\default, and both of them had e0010409 as the value. I changed them both to e0010407 and tried coldboot after each (one and then both) and it still doesnt thinks its a qwerty keyboard.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks -- AshayinFLA
When I slide the keyboard out and pressing the blue dot to access the special character. When, for example, I want to press ! (s), it came out as @.
So I had to press ~(a) key and it will come out as ! It's as of the keys are one letter further. I checked the keyboard settings and it's set to English (UK) - what is causing this problem?
Thanks.
*bumpy bump*
Guess no one knows?
I'm guessing you want American settings, right? you have to change some keyboard reg value (sorry, dont know what it is) to 0409 for the american english. I think if you use Registry Wizard, that will make finding the value a lot easier.
Nope, to UK English.
I think I have Registry Wizard, will take a peek. Do you know the code for UK English?
Cheers
Right, got the registry wizard loaded up and it says thta it was set to English (UK) so it should be correct. Saved it, rebooted the phone, still the same issue.
I thought hmm, let try English (US), saved it and rebooted. Then tried again and it's all correct now.
Weird... does this seems to be right to you? or it's a bug with Registry Wizard?
