Fixing German QWERTZ keyboard for O2miniS with O2 EnglishROM

Fixing German QWERTZ keyboard layout for O2 miniS with English ROM installed is very simple.
Many nomally use AEKmap, but this is not allways fine for somebody.
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.
Hope this help someone.[/list]

wooooooow!!
That's good.
I will try that NOW

Well I don't see any Locale folder under Keybd...
What next?

Dear cizake,
"Locale" is not a folder. This is a key, locating under the folder "Keybd". We have to change the value of this key. Check the path again, pls.
Hope this help.

I cannot change the vaule, I use PHM Registry editor, after soft reset, the vaule back to 0804,not 0407.....why??

I have no idea. I am using total commander. This is free at here http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm.
1. Check your programs that running each time you start windows at \windows\startup\. If they change keyboard settings.
2. After changing the registry key value. Do the soft reset by this way: Hold down the power button for ~5 seconds. When being asked to turn off the device, tap Yes. This will completly turn off the device and save the changes in registry. This method may different from taping the stylus to the reset hole.

Check the path again:
The folder: \\\Registry\\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\
The key: Locale.
If you do not see the folder. Create a new folder "Keybd", then create a new key with name "Locale".
I thing this may help.
This is a fix for hardware (real) keyboard only.

Cool. For AZERTY keyboards the value is 040C. My ROM version didn't have Locale value in the HKC\ControlPanel\Keybd, I had to create one myself. It has to be String value, not DWORD. Thank you for great hack.

GUYS! YOUR ARE GREAT!!!
Works perfect with Eng for Russian Keyboard (Russian code is 0419). Now I can switch between Russian and English

yes can confirm 0809 works a treat for english keyboard, thanks!!

Sweet!
Yup! works a treat. Have now changed WM 5 from french to English (which gave me the english keyboard problem) and thanks to you changed the keyboard layout to French. Brilliant. By the way, where could i get the new qtek 9100 ROM 1.6 WWE?

Sorry, but this nice solution is not working after upgrading to 1.6.7.1
This entry in the Registry does not exit anymore. I can only find things whichhave the value "e0010409" for english keyboard and i want to get back my german one. Has anybody that number?

Check again kbaasch
Check the path again:
The folder: \\\Registry\\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\
The key: Locale.
If you do not see the folder. Create a new folder "Keybd", then create a new key with name "Locale".
I thing this may help.

my keyboard is now ok
oainot
Its works fine, thanks.
I have T-Mobile MDA Vario from German, I have flashed it with ROM: 1.6.7.1 WWE
And, with reg file my keyboard is now ok.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"Locale"="0407"

MrBuz
Great, stunning solution! Thank you! This is absolutely BRILLIANT !
I have 1.6.7.1 WWE and Russian layout works perfectly...
But the English now lacks a "comma", as the combination "dot+comma" is assigned by the system to switch between layouts.
Is there any solution to re-assign the layout sequence, or to assign "Shift+comma" to print comma (currently Shift does not have any influence on that button on my system...)

Awesome solution.Works like a charm. Can not imaging a better solution. A++++

Fixed permanently?
Cool!
Will this work after hard reset? If not, anyone dare to create a new ROM so that we can flash it and fix it permanently?
Rocks!

hebrew

does anyone knows how to get hebrew on the wisard please?

How do you mean - hebrew rom or hebrew font?

just so i can browse my ie and read herrew sites.thanks.

Try putting this hebrew font in windows\fonts on your device (after unzipping it), then soft reset. Dont know whether it will work, cant see any registry hack that can change pie font in that way.

thanks, but it didnt work.

thank you very much for your help and your files.
Do you think this file can revert hebrew?
http://www.jewishcontent.org/pda/pocket-pc/arm/ReverseHebrew.exe

The problem is not from right to left. It is a mirroring problem
The correct hebrew looks like on the right end image.
Your hebrew looks like letters are backwards.
Take a look a the START text or at the left bottom of the screen you will see what i mean.

i guess this can effect just for their own allications fromJewishCOntent.org.

XT9 Fix released on HTC asia :-D

Well, after I installed it, it doesnt default to Xt9 any more when I go to new messages
Sweet!

can't find this, can you send the link?

this is fantastic!
what ROM are you using ? will this work with any ROM (and ROM language) ?
i would appreciate the link also!

here is the cab file, it's actually just a registry setting fix.
HTC-DUAL-TOUCH-XT9-TO-ABC-FIX
The registry concerned is:
Code:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME]
CarrierDefaultTextMode=dword:0
(0 for ABC / 1 for XT9)
A friend gave me this link as I am also having a problem with the HTC site.
Enjoy!

oh my god it works !!!!
i cant believe how simple that was !!! thank you so much for the registry entry, i can use my phone to text again !!!

it's great!
this was the most anoying thing on my new dual.
tx a lot,
pirlone

Doesn't work for me
in fact it screws my device up!.. it shows the ABC being as the default input, but I can only type the first letter in each key, multiple presses just repeats the same letter
I guess I will have to reflash the OS.. otherwise I now cant use the text input on the keypad anymore!

works on mine. thanks, dtm for letting me know about this.

Maybe doesnt work on mine becos Im running the WM6.1 Nikki project OS ??
Anyone else that has installed this using this Version?

Can you help me? I am begiiner having Dual 2 days. XT9 is really anoying esp for NON english users.But I cannot fix it as it is described. Can you show me step by step what to do? Thanks

Please help me. I am a new user having Dual 2nd day. I was trying to install it but it does not work. Can you describe step by step for the beginner what to do? XT9 is realy anoying esp for NON english users.

Hi, just copy the cab to the phone and install it. Maybe you need to softreset your Niki. (open the battery case, the reset button is left to the USB connector).
Cheers
Michael

I love this and it is working well for me. My only issue is when using the touch keypad software, when you type it highlights the letters and take a few micro seconds to move to the next so if I am typing a sentence, and press space,it deletes that entire word or atleast the last few letters that I typed :-( So the only way to solve this is not text that fast or use the hardware keypad.

Wow I noticed so many people reposting this when this was posted a long time ago.
Anyway, just wanted to confirm this is working on my wifes elf also

Finally there's something to kill XT9

Change Mode from ABC to XT9 or XT9 to ABC.
Hey everyone!
First, I wanted to start out thanking muzikfreakah for the link to the .cab file and the posting the Registry path that needs to be modified. I used these as a base reference for the work I completed on my phone. Instead of wanting to go from XT9 to ABC, I wanted to change my phone from ABC to XT9.
Initially I used PHM Registry Editor to make the necessary change to the Registry value you noted. Shortly thereafter, I updated my ROM to WM 6.1 so I had to reapply the settings manually. This got me thinking. Why not just create a quick .cab file for myself, saving me time in the future. This is exactly what I did!
Attached are two .cab's I created a while back (just never got around to uploading them). The first .cab (SP_Default_ABC_To_XT9.cab) modifies the appropriate Registry Key, setting it to 1 (defaulting to XT9). The second .cab (SP_Default_XT9_To_ABC.cab) does just the opposite, changing the value to 0 (defaulting to ABC).
Final notes before I part -
File Sizes: The file size of each of my .cab's is 1.07 KB, as it only contains the necessary Registry Key change. The link muzikfreakah provided brings you to "HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab". This file size is 20.76 KB, as it appears to use a more complex method of making the necessary Registry changes.​Company and Application Name: After my .cab is installed, it will display in the Installed Programs list as "Seth_Polley Default_XT9_To_ABC" (or vice versa depending on .cab used). After installing the other .cab (HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab), the following is displayed in the Programs list: "Customization Customize_Tool".​
In summary, either file will work for changing from XT9 to ABC. While 20.76 KB is nothing by today's standards, you can go smaller yet by using my .cab's (about 1/20th of the file size). Additionally, my .cab's provide a more descriptive name in the Programs list. Pick your poison! To 'install' the Registry modification, simply move the .cab to your phone, execute it, and follow the prompts.
Feel free to PM me if you have difficulties accessing/downloading the files. If you are concerned about using my files, feel free to open the .cab (can use an application like WinRAR) and review the contained "_setup.xml" file to verify this .cab will only make the changes I noted above.
Best Regards,
Seth

Dutch language XT9 with 16 key's

Can someone help me to install the xT9 Dutch on a HTC TOUCH DUAL 16 key version?
I tried several options and none works.
I have tried adding the Dutch Language pack, but I am not able to make it work cause the IME file hpd.5x4.Dutch.kdb is for the 20 key layout...
When I install the cab the hardware keyboard starts working like the 20 key keyboard.
If I set the language to Englisch, it works (XT9 and ABC), but I want to use the Dutch-libary.
Can some help me with this?

Here you can find the files and registry settings.
An more step by step instruction in dutch you can find here. With those settings I managed to get my Dutch xT9 working on my 16 keys Dual.
Good luck.

I've installed this CAB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343106&page=5
This afternoon I want to set the registry settings manually and copy the files you give.
Tnx!

The problem is changed, after I manually set the registry values and after I copy the files manually, I could only type numbers in Dutch.
If I set the language to English, all works fine, but if I set it to Dutch I can only type numbers (this is in xt9-mode and ABC-mode).
Anybody knows how to fix this?

Problem with language settings

Hi,
My LEO has english ROM and Its obvious that all of the apps and stuff is in english - and thats fine for me - i want it that way.
But when typing a message I would like my LEO to use polish language dictionary (useful to Spell Correction, to Word Completion
[XT9] and so on).
I know that it is possible to set different language for text input, but when I open the list of languages to choose from, I see: german, french, etc. but NO polish;/
Does anyone know how to deal with this? How to get polish lang on the list?

install a registry editor and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Tegic/eT9
click AvailableLanguages and add 0115 to the end of the value like:
0109,010C,0107,0110,010A,0115
then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Tegic/eT9/LdbFiles
and add a new String value named 0115 with a value of PLlsUN_xt9.ldb
then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Sip\LanguageKeyBoardIDMapping
and add a new String value named 0115 with a value of 0915
reboot your device...

It will be there CZ or SK too ?? ? ? Thanks CLEVER MAN ! !!

I think Slovak is 011B, SKlsUN_xt9.ldb, LanguageKeyBoardIDMapping 091B
but I haven't tried so I'm not sure..
Also not sure CZ is in there.. there's no .ldb file with CZ or something.. any ideas what it might be called? I think the code should be 0105.
if the ldb file is there it should be located in the windows folder

Thanks for help.
I followed Your guide but I still seem to have a problem.
I opend text editor right after rebooting my device. I set language to Polish, turned word prediction on and started typing. I entered 1 word and clicked space button to start typing second word. And from this moment my device is not responding (I had to perform restart). I tried it for about 5 times - always thesame reaction.
So I performed hard reset, set device language to Polish (previously i had English). When my Leo was ready I changed the registry according to Your instruction and restarted the device. From that moment my Leo is restarting all the time long. I had to remove the battery and do the hard reset to make it work again.
Do You know what could cause the problem?

I just checked to add Polish but it works perfectly for me.. maybe check your spelling with the .ldb file and check if the file is present in the windows folder.. is it an original ROM?
When you set your device to polish (multi language device??), did you check if the dictionary was maybe already there before you changed the registry? A polish device should have a polish dictionary standard you should say..

Well it works (wejdz w jakies pole textowe->klawiatura->trojkat przy klawiaturze->ust wprow texty->wlacz sprawdzanie pisowni) type kocham then press it to keep it save on word list then type koham and you should be able to choices between both words. Correct one will be at center in order to press space to accept(space soft key).
Unluckly you have to type words by your own to have it in xt9

It loock like not all language could be activatet.
I try to do that for Ukraine but no result.
