Keyboard Registry entry for QWERTZ Keyboard?

Does anybody have the registry entry at HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Terminal Server Client/ for the Keyboard layout for a QWERTZ keyboard from the UK? I have an english ROM on a Mini S and need the original registry key so the keyboard is mapped properly.....

Also looking for this!
I have the same issue, and am also on the lookout for a solution. Will let you know if I find anything. And I know there are several others who are in the same situation too...!

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.

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.

thanks for your help

Hang on while I check mine!
Mike

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;

Symbols in Hermes Keyboard Got mixed up? help!!

Hi guys! It's my first time to post here. I,ve got a problem with regards to My Hermes Softbank X01HT with a DOPOD Asia WWE ROM. The symbols in my sliding keyboard got mixed up. Like when I press the @ symbol the ? appears, when I press ! in my sliding keyboard the @ appears, press ? the - symbol appears and so on and so forth. I tried to tweak the registry using the method in the "Known Issues of Hermes Thread" to no avail. Is there a solution to this problem? or this is a harware issue? Could you help me please!!! Thanks in anticipation of your help.

I have this same problem. Did you resolve it yet???

Theres a keyboard fix somewhere around here... you just gotta look for it.. or find the registry setting to revert your keyboard back to normal.

Its in the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
When applying a non-cingular ROM to an 8525 its default keyboard is different than the 8525.
The Fix:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=263177 (decimal)

Dear All, does anybody know how to read Japanese text on HTC DIAMOND? Please, help

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 ..
