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.
Search is there for a reason, USE IT...

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,

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.
i just got the dopod cht900 and it has the chinese keyboard and rom. i got it flashed to the english rom.
however, it seems that the keyboard secondary buttons (the one where you need to press the blue dot before pressing the key) are not in the right place. for example, on the keyboard it shows '!' if I press the 'W' key but instead it turns out to be '?'
is there any way to overcome this problem by hacking the registry and if so, where can i do it?
any help given is much appreciated.
This has been asked before in that forum, search b4 posting plz.

Thanks for your help. Didnt see this when I was looking thru earlier. By the way, I can only use the second solution as the first does not work right?
right, and if the second isn't good for you you can try the first and modify the wiki adding the thing that works for you giving adivse to others... that's what's all about!

Hi,
I'm using PQZII on my Universal since several monthes and I find it very useful for pda with keyboards...but it's not necessary to say...
I find taskbar icon useful to indicate ctl or alt pressed key. But I would change the background of that icone and turn it transparent. Then I'll see only ctl or alt when pressed and that square icon on my taskbar. I tried several habitualy used colors for icon's background (255 and so...) but none was the good one.
Any idea to help me?
Thanks for replies and ...thanks for PQZII for existing )
Wat's this PQZII
PQZII is the application that allows to emulate ctrl and alt keys on a keyboard pda phone... There are some treads on it on the forum...
Here is one...

And the link to the developper site...

Can I change the IE button on keyboard also .
Maybee, have a try on it, it's a freeware. On the website of the developper, there is a small app wich can give you the code of any pushed key on the keyboard. Knowing that code, you can assign any fonction or launch program or link to a key with its code. So, maybee, it's possible...
Here's a weird one... I have a rogers TyTN (it did this on WM 5 as well as 6)
The Y, U, and I keys all have weird results. The arrow keys do the same as the Y, U and I keys.
The Y key does a < key and then the Y and the U and I keys do a down arrow then U or I depending.
How can I get the keyboard layout right again? This is driving me nuts! Ican't text or email right now because it's constantly doing these weird things.
Thanks for any help!
You can try the cabs that setup the keyboard but if this doesnt work it might be a hardware problem, here are the links!

Edit: im assuming you know how to install a cab but ill go ahead and say how to. Put file onto your hermes and then on the phone go to file explorer and click on the cab you put on your phone.
FTGF
Or HTCustom and Schaps Adv Config have a options in them to change it.
Thanks for the advice. In the advanced config it was set to chinese. I switched it to english, but got the same results.
I've also tried both mappings provided as cab files and no joy :<
Must be the phone... considering it did this with the rogers firmware on it that's the only thing that makes sense... back to rogers!
maybe you have the htc touch keypad + keyboard installed. I had the same problem, deinstalled the touch keypad / keyboard and it worked fine.
Just the thing is, I'd really like to use both, touch keypad and correctly functioning slideout keyboard...
I am using the PDACorner Rom (newest), When i press the blue dot aka the fn key and the sys tab button, usually the symbols pop up but now nothing does. i tried downloading the cab files for cingular keyboard fixes but thats only fixed my other key problems of hitting @ and getting the ! solved.. but i need my symbols as well. i tried mapping with htcustoms and made it cingular keys but no luck.
