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.
I dont see Locale either .... would really appreciate any help on changing :

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.
This is a fix for hardware (real) keyboard only.
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!

I install to my BA it working very well
Text messages?
It seems like I can't get this to work with text messages (the encoding option in my text message inbox is disabled). Does anyone know how I can get around this problem?
whats language you want to get?
using this rom or CAB files with English ROM?
Is your font in your Device or ROM?
i tried text message in Japanese, Chinese, Korean. Thai Languages in this ROM
How about with check the unicode option?.
Also encoding of IE and e-mail enabled?
SMS doesnt need some encoding if the SMS service center support that.
<but almost of them suport it, within my knowledge>

I want to get Traditional Chinese on my Vodafone V1640. I also have a T-Mobile SDA (on O2 UK) which has nina.ttf installed but it doesn't show all the characters (i.e. I still get some squares) which is why I want to try to get Chinese on my V1640.
The ROM is the latest i-mate WWE ROM.
I have a T-Chinese font (don't know the actual name of the font but it is definitely no included in the Chinese Windows) placed in the Windows/Font folder, but does it have to be a specific font (like MingLiu? it's quite big though)?
I forgot where the unicode option is. Encoding options in IE and E-mail are available (I can choose the language), but IE still can't display Chinese, despite the change in the encoding option.
Please help.
1; used my CAB right?
this can install wince.nls and enabler for the nls files.
Text message need the sytem font to discribe your languages.
so it means chinese font should be register as "System font"
you have never done that., i guess so.
Ok following the sample of font registry for Mingliu font.
1;way 1 <with the cab in this page>
import this with registry editor and put the Mingliu into windows folder.
and make soft reset, then you can solve all problem.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"MingLiu="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"PMingLiu"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"Courier New"="\\windows\\mingliu.ac3,PMingLiu"
"Tahoma"="\\windows\\mingliu.ac3,PMingLiu"
2:way 2 <without the cab in this page>
Or you install my chinese enabler CAB.
(but you must uninstall previouse cab befor install thia\s)
http://www.asukal.jp/English/LocalizeCABS.htm
PLS go to the bottom of above page, then dl for the cab you wantt.
cab should be "for the WM5"
those were included registry and font. not mingliuy but chinese font in it.
I don't know any hebrew.
But I think the display hebrew on last pic is not correct,because there are so many same character in one line.

I use the PHM Registry Editor. Do I just create new "String" values? Also, do I have to create the location in the registry as it isn't there?
The font file is named HDZB_74.TTF by the way.
arabic doesn't seem correct from the screen shot... the right to left encoding isn't enabled which is making each word to print on it's own instead of getting merged
ady> Arabic "right to left", can it solve by registry tweak?
if so can you let me know??? i can not read Arabic acutualy
or the problem of font???
ft1860> i also can not know hebrew, so no way to know about the problem also.
also the problem came from Font or registry???
any way this ROM or cab just gives you wince.nls for encoding.
Hope each languages Experts tweak for detail and font link to discribe
correctly. i just put uni-code font to the demo fro other language which i couldnt read
richardrai>
yes you make new valu. if you think it is troublesum.
1:write your registry with text editor and save it as xxxxxx.reg file.
the head of registry need "REGEDIT 4"
2;use the TRE free registry editre;
http://www2r.biglobe.ne.jp/~tascal/download/pocketpc/tre_e.htm
and use import command from menu, them import the reg you saved.
then make soft reset.
if your registry is correct, your font can use as system font

Good luck.
Thank you for your effort. Finally there is a solution.

It may be solved by a registry tweak.
It is an old issue between the customers and the sponsor of I-mate. We have been seeking a convenient free solution to the right-to-left problem for a long time.
Anyway, I don't think the problem is from the font.
There is an example of a left-to-right text on the following link (the flash on the right side). http://www.imaginet-software.net/index.aspx?p=arabizer

Sorry just want to make sure whether there should be a space between "REGEDIT" and "4"?
No need Space. REGEDIT4 is ok. sorry make you confuse.
Arabic. ;;if some boday help me discribe the Registry, i will make a patch CAb for that.
too difficult to understand me that language
It works on WM5 already?! Hmmm.. the last time I checked it doesn't. Will check it out this weekend finger cross
I think it's font problem. Because even my device does not support display from left to right, my display of Arabic is perfectly correct. I use a font called DFHeiMedium from Dynalab. It is a unicode font.

Okay, this prob got me for some hours:
I updated my Universal from German ROM to latest (original) WWE ROM. After that, I tried all known hacks to put the hardware-keyboard to QWERTZ instead of QWERTY.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale=0407
HKCU\keyboard layout\Preload\Default=e0010407
HKCU\keyboard layout\Preload\1\Default=e0010407
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty\Layout=0x20407
Unfortunately, after that, the SYM-Key wasn't working.
Now after trying various things and thinking a lot, I guess I have the answer.
It seems to be important that the first 3 values don't get changed. The Qwerty\Layout is the locale for the hardware keyboard driver and if you change the locales for WM5, too, I guess the scancodes get converted once more and so the SYM-Key doesn't work. After changing the first 3 registry keys back to 409, now everything works fine.
Cheers,
-mARKUS
I did similar modifications to my registry to make it work well with my italian keyboard and I ended with the same problem: the SYM key doesn't work.
I'll try with your solution. Thanks for sharing it!
In your original Ext_ROM, there should be a file called Signed_GER_KB.CAB. Just run that, then the KB is back as it should be. No need to modify the registry. The sym key is controlled by the sym.txt file in your windows folder.
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?

Hi, guys. I am trying to cook my own ROM for wm6.5. The Problem is I can't change the default keyboard to another keyboard input. Editing the reg in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip] to another keyboard input make the ROM not bootable. Installing SIPchanger also not solve the problem. Is there any other way to forcefully change the default keyboard input??
You do it by changing the guid in the defaultIM reg key; you also need the clsid for the new sip. Let me say, I had a ***** of a time getting it to work w/ resco keyboard (worked fine w/ fnkbd). The key is to set the defaulIM key during customization, otherwise the rom won't boot. The skin files need to be installed before that key is loaded. With fnkbd, you'd just get an error when the welcomehead appeared (annoying) if the defaultIM was cooked in. But with Resco, you never see your bloody welcomehead. I'm not eve sure that the read letters appear on the splash screen.
I set the defaultIM during customization with a mortscript:
Code:
RegWriteString("HKCU","\ControlPanel\Sip","DefaultIM","{A070BE16-AD56-11D3-BC77-00C06C512035}")
It runs after the skin files are installed (also with a mortscript during customization). Again, it's important that the clsid for the keyboard is cooked in, otherwise the rom will brick when you soft reset it. Once the defaultIM is set, you don't need a sipchanger, and reboots are quick
Edit: it's always a good idea to put in all relevant info if you really want help. What keyboard? What sipchanger? What's your package look like? Did you make it yourself? Did you do it manually, or use a cab-2-oem type tool, which probably crapped everything up? My guess is that you used cab-2-oem, but that there was a setup.dll that installs the clsid for the keyboard, and you didn't get that reg key, so now your package doesn't work. I suspect this because it's weird that sipchange isn't working for you-this is probably because you don't have the clsid (you put the shortcut in Startup, right?). Cab-2-oem type deals are not a reliable method to make packages.
