Running WM6.1 on my Hermes but the "y" and "z" keys on the hardware keyboard are swapped.
Is there a way to change the keys back to normal, perhaps via a registry hack ?
Thanks

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.

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.

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
Hello, i'm waiting from ebay an keyboard for qtek 9000(in this case, T-mobile MDA) and it was a qwertz layout.
the question is, if I change the original keyboard to a new keyboard with diferente button positions such as Ok button,video call button and others, will pda recognize the diference and atribute right function to each button?
url for new keyboard from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Keypad-Keyboard...yZ150774QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Tanks a lot!!!
Seriously?
No it will not. the picture shows just a QWERT keypad with no electronics so it will not re-map anything (read: it will function exactly as the old keyboard)
remap via software
but how can i do that, which software will i use?
Tanks!
can i change sym.xxxx.txt file and fix ok, start,video call...blablabla buttons?
tanks for help!
I suppose you must find the correct language code for the keyboard,nothing else.
Someone cofirm?
PLEASE????
i don't now if i install imate rom, will solve the problem?
DESPERATED.........
Hell, the keyboard is compatible all most in every button, but wen I install it, after disassemble universal...the original space button was 1 contact, and this new one was 2 contacts.so, the new space button of new keyboard is not campatible....You can see in link, on the back side os keyboard!
At least, housing for universal of the same seller is very,very good!!!

The semi-qwerty keyboard cab file is available if you google it. However after installing it, I realize the accent key on my physical keyboard does not work anymore.
This is the answer I got on the other forum:
can't be help, because the key actions are defined according to the keyboard layout, and the default layout which includes the accent key is being overwritten by the cab file. You probably can revert back to stock keyboard layout and the semi-qwerty/full-qwerty/phonepad SIP, but you probably will lose the T9 function.
alternatively, use the symbol key to type the accent characters.
Does someone knows how to solve this problem so both Full/Semi Qwerty and physical keyboard work together.. especially cause i'm using Croatian letters čćšđž
THX
I just realized I have the same problem. Maybe someone can help us have both accent letters and Touch HD virtual keyboard...
Is this only registry problem or maybe have to change some dll? anybody?
Up! Maybe someone has an idea.
nothing to do?
blackstone keyboard is the best but we wan't to resolve the accent issue...please help!!
nothing?
You could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479464
Doesn't mess with the àü key.
Ok, I tried that keyboard, but it doesn't restore the accent key functionality. Maybe after a hard reset, but I wanted to avoid it.
Same problem here. Blackstone keyboard does my "au" hardware key unuseful - it dos not work.
Also T9 does not work with hardware keyboard.
I think HR is the only way for me - and you at this moment
Would SPB Keyboard 4.1 work without messing up the accent button? Is it any good?
I have the same problem, but with the Touch Diamond 2 keybord. It's really annoying
I had to lose all my data to update the firmware. After that I tried the SPB Keyboard and it's really good. It has layouts for a lot of languages and the accent key works.
ive used version 1 of this and it did not mess with my keyboard. this is the new version that just came out. i havent tried it because version 1 is working good enough for me.

Dear all:
I have been able to convert my German X2 successfully into Dutch/Belgian language using the information contained in another thread.
However, I am now faced with Dutch/Belgian language, with a corresponding AZERTY keyboard layout.
The trouble is that the German hardware QWERZU keyboard is now also typing in AZERTY layout and the keys do not correspond.
Question: how can one change the hardware keyboard layout in such a way that it reverts back to the German QWERZU so that I can at least see what I type?
I have searched all over this forum and elsewhere on the net, but found no working solutions so far. The solutions that were offered, do not seem to work.
Has anybody managed in doing so succesfully? If so, I would greatly appreciate urgent feedback as this is really annoying right now. Thank you so much.

you should use the AE Keyboard Mapper to replace the hardware keyboard layout, for AE Keyboard Mapper intentionally a specially designed key mapping almost all external or built-in hardware keyboard or keypad is connected to a Windows Mobile device. You can use it for "localizing" keyboards (if there is no support from the OEM keyboard driver on your language) or just for the mapping of some keys (like the conversion from AZERTY to QUERTY, the addition function by disabling the Ctrl key or application key binding).
my advice, you just visit his WebSite to get more information and also download it ---> http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
Thanks for the hint. Downloaded and tried it but somehow I cannot choose any other layout than Russian. Even if I type in "German" instead of English, nothing happens.
I also tried out hints pertaining to the X1 (changing the registry etc) but these do not work either as the relevant registry lines do not appear. I guess there must be a difference between X1 and X2 in this respect.
All very disappointing I should say.
