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.

keyboard messed up, registry hacks??

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.

A pre-made on is in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43680&highlight=french+german

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.

QWERTZ keyboard layout

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

You can install Let's Japan 6 from Asukal. It will install Japanese font and you can read Japanese text.
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/Localize/LetsJapanNo6.zip
grab it here and install.

Arigato!
Many Thanks, Unknown Friend!

Another (belated) question
At the risk of 'pushing' too hard: is there any INPUT (like virtual keyboard)in Japanese?
Thanks amd kind regards.

youre not pushing too hard.
You can use IME 31 and CE Star
IME is the easiest, but might not work with certain roms.
I can email it to you

Hello!
I am also interested in having a japanese keyboard.. how to proceed?
Regarding reading, I have done the cleanest solutions i.e. only putting meiryo.ttc in windows folder and then add it in the fontlink reg key in register database..
But can you help on how to write japanese?
Thanks a lot )

Look here, maybe it is sufficient to only install the IME parts (not the LetsJapan file), but I don't know since I installed all of them. If you read the thread and are worried about the T9 issue, there's a solution for that here.

Hi!
Thanks a lot, I installed Japaneseinput and it works great!!! It's also very light )

Well, it is working great for hiragana and katakana.. but not for kanjis..
I am looking for a way to write, where the software proposes the various kanjis, after introducing seom hiraganas.. Do you see what I mean?
I already have the Japanese font working. I just need the input part...
any help welcome!

Didn't the installation of the IME files bring a bunch of new SIPs with it? You should have at least:
Kana
Kensaku
Romaji
Tegaki
Then you have the same possibilities as on your desktop windows, e.g. handwriting Kanji or using Romaji or Kana input.

has anyone been able to get ce-star japanese input working on their touch diamond or pro? i used to love using it on my mogul, but when i tried installing it on my touch pro, a blank screen would show up every time i wanted to write a new text or email...

I did not try yet, I still have the Enable_IME_3 missing, do you have it?

Ok, I found the 2_Enable_IME_3.cab and then installed:
# Download and Install "IME_31J_F", no soft reset
# Download and install Enable_IME_2, no soft reset
# Download and install Enable_IME_3, do a soft reset
# Nearly all of your buttons will not work, so use a registry editor and change the following value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010411\Keyboard Layout to "00000409"
I did not install:
# Download and install "LetsJapanNo6", do a soft reset
I have a kind of small grey square on left top of the screen, what is it?

Well, now nearly everything is solved. I installed everything including LetsJapanNo6 and got it work.
Now my issue is that for the following reg keys:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]
@="e0010411"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
@="e0010411"
I get the japanese stuff working good but normal qwerty keyboards do not work
And if I set:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]
@="e0010409"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
@="e0010409"
I get the qwerty stuff working good but japanese SIP do not work..
Is there a way to make both working at the same time? )

I tried the KbdSwitch.exe (for WM5) but it does not work properly, seems that the japanese SIP does not find the font..

Sure! If you set
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Toggle]
"Hotkey"="3"
"Language Hotkey"="1"
"Layout Hotkey"="2"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]
@="e0010409"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
@="e0010411"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\2]
@="e0010409"
you can switch between the input kyeboard layouts by pressing Ctrl+Shift. Those keys aren't available on the nice big HTC-keyboards, so you have to change using the Romaji or the WM6 standard keyboard. I tried to map the whole operation (pressing Ctrl+Shift) to a hardware button using SortInchKey, but it didn't work.

No you can't. Those keys are on the Touch Pro, and doesn't work.
I have JP input and display working, but I've yet to find a way to actually switch between input languages on the fly.

Hmm thanks for your replies! But I am getting confused, Obsidian72 says it is working and Flinx1 not. So who is right? )
Obsidian75, what is the hotkey number 3 ?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\2] @="e0010409" does not exist, shall I create it?

Well you're certainly welcome to try it, but IMO there's no point in adding/changing those registry keys. To get JP input working you'll still need to switch the preload key back to 0010411 and soft reset. That's what the kbdswitch.exe does - and while that does work, I seriously don't want to reset the phone every time I want to switch keyboard layouts.

3 = disable hotkey
2 = ctrl + shift
1 = alt + shift

Well, setting exactly as says Obsidian72, I get everything ok except that in Romanji mode, no hiragana are coming out ..

Switch keyboard from QWERTY to QWERTZ

Hi.
I have just installed the phone enabled rom. Everything is fine, but it is an english version. Actually I managed to switch everything from english to german EXCEPT the hardware keyboard. I have figured out the following keys in the registry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd (this is already known and does not seem to have any effect)
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout (this seems to activate one of the defined layouts in the 'Layout'-key)
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts
Could anyone, who has a german keyboard layout running, check what his/her entries in these three keys are?
If anyone has another solution for this issue, I would be happy to hear from you.
Thanks alot.

Don't know wether this is the solution, but there are lots of keyboard layouts listed in:
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Keyboard Layouts
The German Layout has the key number 00000407.
Maybe you only need to enter that number as value in:
HKU/Default/Keyboard Layout/Preload
Good luck

Hi
Thanks for your reply. The country code for German is known, I have tried that, but it caused some major problems including not working keyboards (not even the virtual keyboard). Only transcriber was still working.
That is why I thought the registry keys
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts
would have more effect.
If you look into the "layouts" you will find "00000409" which defines the US keyboard layout. There you will find a "Layout File" that is called "KbdNopALL.DLL" and another value called "Layout Text" containing the value "US". I was wandering if changing any of these keys would enable the QWERTZ layout of the keyboard. So if anyone that uses a QWERTZ Layout could check what settings there are in these keys (e.g. "Layout File" is the same, but "Layout Text" is "DE" or "GER"). Does anyone know anything about the "KbdNopAll.DLL"?

Looking into "00000409" I find the "Layout File" 'KBDUS.DLL' and the "Layout Text" 'US'.
By contrast in "00000407" the values are 'KBDGR.DLL' and 'German'.
I've scanned the whole registry but didn't find any KbdNopAll.dll-file on my German version Shift.
Hope I could help a bit.

hmm, maybe someone should make a Keyb.cab or REG file, that switch automaticly the right Language codes into registry.
I remember, that this issue comes up all new releases of a WWE ROM, I think there is the solution in some older posts ;-)
Anybody knows how to make a *.cab file or a Reg file for pocket PC´s?
If I know that, I can make a "batch" file for easy changing to german Keyboard layout ;-)

got it
i finally got it.
i had a false entry in
HKLM/hardware/devicemap/keybd/CurLang
the value 407 was entered in Decimal which results in a wrong Hexadecimal value. Now I have entered 407 as a hex value which equals 1031 in decimal. now the layout is correct.
damn complicated that is....
thanks for your help everybody

I've got the same problem with my German Treo 750. Hardware keyboard swaps z and y. I've changed all registry entries, but what I need is a kbdgr.dll to change the contents of my new created 00000407 to Layout File KBDGR.DLL and the Layout Text to German.
Has anyone got an idea where I could get this kbdgr.dll for WM 6.0?
I googled my fingertips bleeding, but only found the dll for xp - and I'm sure that this wouldn't work with my Treo.
Regards and thanks,
Reiner

Is there really nobody with a German Treo 750 to help me?

Reiner
