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.

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.

Help for Hermes Key

My hermes alt key mapping was changed when i flashed it with s64 2d manilla rom. Now instead of alt F for the question mark i have to do alt E. and vice versa for @ and for some other marks. Is there any way i could change this???? I have used Schaps advanced config tool v3 but that didnt work. i also tried changing the key registry. Please help. Thanx

Mine is also stuffed up. ALT Q gives ~ instead of ! all the alt keys have shifted to the right one key. Anyone else with the same problem?

This has benn answered sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many times its embarrasing to see you still asking about it.

x1 Hardware Keyboard

When i write a text and use the sym button it adds a e with two dots above it before the symbal that i have chosen.
is this a prob or am i doing something wrong to make this happen?

no one else had this?

Not seen that here ...and just tested of course -within an SMS, using the sym key and then selecting the character I want on-screen ...that character is added perfectly

Ive got a problem atm where when i try to use the blue key to get number and symbols it doesnt work so im having to use the on-screen keyboard which is a pain.
Installed the htc touch 2 keyboard and it wont let me uninstall
guess the only thing to do is another hard reset

no problem here - sym key pops up symbol sip
using jacks 2.9 rom with no extra sip's installed

Solved Morph Gear button maping Problem.

Hi,
I had problems to map hardware keys ( slider keys ) with Morph Button.
Every time I mapped a button it show the key code 229.
I read the post Key Assign Problem (Morphgear+PocketGBA) ,
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425646&highlight=morphgear ) here at XDA Dev.
It seems the HTC Touch Pro have the same Problem.
After few hours I solved the problem.
All you need to do is:
1.
- Go to button setting in Morph Gear.
- before click the assign button press and hold the Strg key
- then you can enter the hardware key you want
now you can play by holding Strg and the mapped keys
2-
- go to global menu in Morph Gear
- in the submenu Input: click Polling Method
now it works
But in Genppc 1.09 I still can not configure keys.
Hope this helps somebody
Sorry for my english

Strg key?
Hi Bub3d
Sorry to be a dunce but can you clarify what you mean by the "Strg key"?
Thanks
andrew-in-woking

The left key in the last row.

Better known as Ctrl to us non german keyboard users.
However, this doesnt work on my dutch pro 2.

That is the great news for me, I have looked for it for a long time. Thank you very much!!!

I'm sure there is a way to play without holding down the Ctrl (Strg) key all the time. I did it before I just don't know how I did it. Can somebody help me out?

Just remove eT9.
Button Mapping will work with all emulator and games now, like on my old Hermes.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409]
"Layout Text"="COMP IME"
"Ime File"="compime.dll"
Hope it helps.

Worked perfect! thanks a million. Thank god cause without multi-touch, mario is near impossible to play with the touch-screen!!!

worked for me too, thanks!

What does STRG stand for?

What were the original registry values for enabling eT9? Can someone check for me, please?

I have a sprint touch pro 2 and did the above and i still can't map keys in morph gear. Can someone post the eT9 string that i deleted so i can put it back??? Also what does deleting this do???

Not working on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 either.... any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I solved the Sprint TP2 morphgear button mapping issue. When you go to map the keys, click the little "..." to bring up the "request button to map" pop-up.
Now, click on the bottom center of the screen to bring up the keyboard. When the keyboard is up, next to that same icon is an upwards arrow. Click that and it will give you input methods. It might be on something like "Full QWERTY", but change this to "Keyboard". You should now see a virtual keyboard different from the usual one. This maps perfectly to the slide out keyboard. Use the virtual keys to do the mapping, use the slide out to play.

dont forget to set polling methot or else it wont work
srry for my english

For the record, this also works for Tilt 2 and is my preferred solution.
No need to edit registries. Also, you don't have to hold Ctrl to play nor disable eT9, which brings other problems like not being able to edit the eT9.*.txt keymapping text files.

How do you prevent the "Input Mapping" window from disappearing when you bring out the virtual keyboard? Everytime I click on the bottom center virtual keyboard button, the "Input Mapping" window disappears and then the keyboard shows up. It's like the chicken before the egg scenario!
