i just got the dopod cht900 and it has the chinese keyboard and rom. i got it flashed to the english rom.
however, it seems that the keyboard secondary buttons (the one where you need to press the blue dot before pressing the key) are not in the right place. for example, on the keyboard it shows '!' if I press the 'W' key but instead it turns out to be '?'
is there any way to overcome this problem by hacking the registry and if so, where can i do it?
any help given is much appreciated.
This has been asked before in that forum, search b4 posting plz.

Thanks for your help. Didnt see this when I was looking thru earlier. By the way, I can only use the second solution as the first does not work right?
right, and if the second isn't good for you you can try the first and modify the wiki adding the thing that works for you giving adivse to others... that's what's all about!

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.
Hello,
I tried Search button first, so if there is a topic already, please can you post the link?
Anyway.
I'm from czech republic and I'm very used to qwertz keyboard layout instead of qwerty. Is there any posibility to swap Y and Z on HW keyboard? I already tried change keyboard layout to czech (using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446449) but it didnt help.
I would very much appreciate if someone can help me.
Thanks in advance
Don't know if you checked this (in czech):
http://forum.semania.cz/index.php?topic=19323.0
For non-czech speakers .. the post above (here on XDA-developers) says how to SWITCH the layout. Here is the method how the modify it.
There should be simple readeble text file in the phone at path:
Phone\Windows\sym.0409.txt
(replace your locale code, see the post above).
In this file, replace any characters to obtain modified layout. Haven't tried by myself though.
Thank you, but
as far as I understood this file only changes characters that are offered by pressing "àű" right after some character - I mean when you press A you get à after first press of "àű" button and á after second press of "àű" button etc.
I'd like to change the layout from qwerty to qwertz. Just swap Y/Z, nothing more.
Any other ideas?
you need AEKMap.
I did this for my i780, just check the link in my sig.
you have to do the same for the X1, but i am not sure if the keycodes are identical. just try it out.
Thanks very much, this actualy works. I only wonder if it will slow down my device in some way.
it doesn't slow down my i780 and it is super lightweight.
you can also rearrange your czeck special letters in the sym txt file like others have pointed out. should give you a fully working, localized keyboard.
If all you want is to exchange Y and Z, go to the link in you first post and change the code to german layout. it works!
Well, that was the first think I thought of. But there are too many changes in the layout. So that was no option for me. but thanks for idea
btw. this AEkmap doesnt work in text boxes on pages in opera mobile.
Hi all, not sure if I'm the only one with this problem. Initially, when creating new SMSes, under the "To", when i start to key in the first few alphabets of the contact's name, the suitable names that begin with those few letters will be displayed at the top of the keypad for me to choose, so i don't have to key in the whole name. But i notice that recently, i have to key all the alphabets of the name, before it appears at the top of the keypad for me to choose? I never install any new programs before this happened so i doubt it's a clash of software. Anyone has this same issue as me?
yeah, there seem to be a problem with the hd.. i use the classic windows keyboard and it did not show up earlier.
so i followed some guys instructions with some registry edits and its working alright now. but the large qwerty of htc still has the problem. i dont use it so its no biggy for me as long as my classic keyboard works.
and on the large qwerty, i noticed that it showed up the suggestions as soon as u hit backspace after u write the first two or three letters of the name. for example, if u wrote 'smit' and hit backspace, it would show up 'smith 7906561' on the suggestion list..
this is what happens to me on the large qwerty.. check whether it happens on urs.. and if ur using the classic keyboard, i'd post the registry edits i made.. goodluck!

I think you guys have the same problem as the Touch Pro - it's T9 getting in the way. If you disable T9 then you can use other keyboards (there's a new shiny black on in the Blackstone forums) and get predictive text working properly or use the Full QWERTY keyboard which will likely work with a few kinks. Here's a long but detailed article on what to do to fix it and what you gain and lose: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1527
since the Pro and HD have the same software and are similar on hardware I'm presuming this is exactly the same issue.
here you go op this works

Open up Skin-01-global.txt in notepad and delete the following line:
ClickSound click-0.wav
Make sure not to edit in Word, use the simple notepad you have in every Windows.

Found that in the thread. The sounds do go away in vibrate/silent mode as well.
I'm using this...love it.
Attempting to cook it into my latest ROM. Thanks for the heads up
Does it mess up the "au" key on the hardware keyboard?
my au key and my sym key don't work but i'm not sure if that is cause of me or cause of the keyboard

thanks a lot for your help.i ll try this trick.
I want to ask... does it have auto-correction of mistyped words (like PCM Keyboard and the others)?
It keeps saying "no T9" for this new keyboard, but does that mean it has no auto-guess/auto-correction for your typing? because if it doesn't, its much less powerful, even if it is prettier.
Thank you for a great keyboard!!

fingerkeyboard doesn't mess up with the hardware key mapping.
you have probably installed some other SIP/keyboard software that modifies the registry setting.
If I install this, will the hardware keyboard lose it's suggested words?
Is there a way to get a software to scrool down the documents (i'm thinking about word docs)?
I think that this is the only disadvantage of having a topaz...
Can someone share knowledge on this... please

You can scroll through allmost everything just by sliding you finger up and down the screen.

My idea was to create a keyboard with only the pgup / pgdown functions. The arrows already exist in regular querty keyboards, but if you use the keyboard to scroll, the visible space in the screen will be to small... It is usefull when you have to scrool a big document in a discrete way

I believe there are many different keyboards available for WM6 devices.
Just search the forum or Goole the web.
