Keyboard problem, Russian ROM

I have couple of troubles with my 9100.
1. Virtual keyboard has Cyrillic layout. To write in English I have to tap au virtual key for each letter. I didnt find how to switch to English layout. It's very hard to write this message using virtual keyboard, believe me.
2. I cannot use Terminal Services client because I cannot enter English letters to specify login name and password. I tried to switch layout on sliding keyboard by it enters always Cyrillic. I tried virtual keyboard too but the same result.
I supposed any third party keyboard layout utility will help but I didnt find anything that works fine on 9100. I tried qkeys and Resco keyboard.
Does anyone know something about?

Resco works fine on mine.

Which version?

Had the very same problem.
1. Tap au key twice (fast) and it would switch to english
2. Use any registry editor to change "Keyboard layout" string value in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\ from "00000419" to "00000409". Wait a couple of mins and soft-reset the device. After that ts client will be using english by default.

This is where Resco Keyboard would come in handy

Excuse me, I've found it. It appears near spacebar when shift is pressed.

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.

Thanks, I have solved it in other way.

Input always defaults to keyboard :(

Hi there,
After selecting Transcriber for my input method, after a soft reset my device always defaults back to Keyboard input method.
Is there any way of getting the Transcriber option to stick?
- Peter

You can, however, set Transcriber as the default SIP by starting Transcriber.exe on startup. (This should be moved to, or added to, non-registry Tweaks page)

This works for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289370&highlight=

CookieKid and hanmin - many thanks. I will check both of these solutions out.

Some ROM versions do not want at all to take your default choice. You may not be able to change this with the registry setting. SK TOOLS did not work for me to set RESCO as default entry.
I stopped thinking about this and set again to Resco after every soft reset. Sad but true.
I'm sure some other ROMs wouldn't be such crazy.
Mine is Jester AKU2.2. Previous ROM Dopod 2.1x ROM was OK.

Have you tried registry changes?
UK/US layout (QWERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1033 (DWORD decimal)
German layout (QWERTZ):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1031 (DWORD decimal)
French layout (AZERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1036 (DWORD decimal)
EDIT: WORKS FOR MANY WM5 DEVICES BUT NOT HERMES (SEE FOLLOWING POSTS)

Well you need a registry editor this one is free PHM:
http://pocketland.de/util/getdownload.php?regedit.Mrln_ARM.cab&id=22357
Download to your desktop (do not open it) and then move it to your Device using active sync. In active sync use the explore tab to open up your device. If you have a storage card go there and drag and drop the file onto storage card. If not put it in device main memory.
That done disconnect from PC and use file explorer to hunt for the file and tap it to run it. If offered a choice choose install to Storage Card. If not main memory. Once installed go to your programmes and open PHM.
Navigate using PHM to the keys shown in my first post and change the numbers accordingly.
Post again with problems.
PS changing registry has potential risks. There is a chance that if you d something wrong you will need to hard reset again. Are you willing to take the chance?
PPS You may need to soft reset. Do not just poke stylus in hole. LONG press on off switch until a message pops up. Say yes. Device will reset.
Mike

thanks for your help

Hang on while I check mine!
Mike

just go ahead and take your time hopefully u can help me
thanks

OK, it seems the info I gave above re keys to change does not apply to Hermes specifically. However there are registry changes you can make. The following information is taken from the "wiki" link on brown bar top of page:
Goto the following registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
The default value of English ROM is 20409, and Chinese ROM is 20404 (both are in hexadecimal).
The suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 (132103 in decimal). =qwertz
The suitable value for Spanish Hermes keyboard is 2040a (132106 in decimal).
Probably Hermes use 20+country ID (409=WWE, 407=German, 404=Trad. Chinese, etc...) format for keyboard layout value.
The above settings does not work with the latest Hermes firmware, the following is required.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]"Default"="e0010414"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]"Default"="e0010414"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]"Layout"="132116"
The last setting is the same as in the above solutionThese settings are for Norwegian keyboard, country code : 0414Tested on fw. 1.31.502.1
Note: For those with a Chinese Keyboard Layout, Changing the Preload will affect Outlook, particularly when composing e-mails. Typing e-mail addresses will not auto-load from your address book for some reason. This can be fixed but deleting the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload] folder and all its contents. As of now, no known side effects from deleting the folder has been found.
A list of other layouts:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
Note2: For those using a Japanese layout (i.e. Softbank X01HT) with newer ROMs should use 30411 Hex. (197649 Dec) as value for keyboard layout in order to get ',' and '.' properly mapped:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]"Default"="e0030411"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]"Default"="e0030411"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]"Layout"="197649" Hope rhat all makes sense

Hi Saint. Sorry it's not working but perhaps it's worth another go - and don't forget do not do standard soft reset after changes use the long press on on/off button. The reason I say this is that there are folks out there who have said it does work (though they were going Qwertz to qwerty, but still, - see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273332
Good luck
Mike

thanks alot mike it works now. it is such a wonderful that you can help me with this. thanks once again

Pleased it's working
Happy days!
Cheers

Qwertz in WM6
Though our company IT expert went through the regedit settings, in WM6 this fix seems not to work.
A cab file would be the solution (without German editing or word suggestion)
Anybody out there with a QWERTZ hardware input running WM6?
Would be very very very happy to get help

When you people make these changes to the registry it is advisable to put the phone to sleep for at least 1 minute to make sure the registry values get saved...

Great, My Trion may sleep even 24 hours if only the regedit settings would work...
They refer to WM 5 settings and not WM6. As such, no values can be set at the correct three.
Damn. I need that cab file badly...

i dont know what can i say
i really thank you so so so so much "mikechannon". i dont need aekmap anymore.
friends as mikechannon said;

it really works perfectly

use sktools much better, you can disable and enable all keyboard, or even delete them.
