HP iPaq HW6915 with UK ROM, need keyboard remapping - Sable

I will keep posting this question until some guru gives me some help
I have an iPaq 6915, was swedish, is UK ROM now.
I need the registry values to restore the accented characters on the keyboard.
Today when I press circle button + W I get @, but according to the hardware keyboard I am supposed to get ö.
If someone can tell me what values to put in the registry or make a .cab file for this I will be forever grateful
What I have done already:
Based on what was written in the Registry after a hard reset (would be the UK mapping), I have revised the values to the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"Locale"="041d"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]
"Default"="e001041d"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
"Default"="e001041d"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
"Layout"="132125"
I have then performed a soft-reset (small pin-hole) I have tried lowe case and upper case Of the 041d/D value.
the keyboard is still in UK layout!
What am I missing here??
Please please help me someone.

Would someone please please help!

A fellow Canadian !
I will look into this then, it seems that you would not need this for the people that ported German iPaqs (QWERTZ), I have read posts where they just change the values and perform a reset.
see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337975&page=13
But I will investigate why it does not work on mine more.

No such luck, the DLL's pointed out does not exist in my registry, not sure why.
The main thread is that all other languages are changed with updating the key values I specified.

How come the other ppl that converted their german, french, spanish SABLE can swap the keyboard layout by messing with the registry and not me?

I installed it and then performed a soft reset. (stylus in the bottom).
The keyboard is un-affected, but maybe you got my issue wrong?
On the HARDWARE keys in the QWERTY line, the keys read
Ä Ö € Æ Ø Å
Q W E R T Y
But when i press this I get
~ @ € % _ -
Q W E R T Y
So basically I have a swedish / eurpoean keyboard but an English Softlayout.
How can I change this? A new CAB perhaps?

reinstall then set power off for 10 sec (power button only)
now sr your device
the reg velue of eng is 409 and the cab set all location i know to this velue
if it dose not work you can always use afreeware called ae keyboard and map the keyboard to eng
if the off/sr didnt work 4 u sorry ... anyway good luck

Could you possibly make another CAB that set's the value to 041d as this is the value for Swedish, (at least this is what the table tells me).
Then I can try the method.

Crap, no changes. to sum up what I did.
1- Factory reset (UK Rom)
2- Install CAB 1
3- Press Off, wait at least 10 seconds
4- Press the reset hole with stylus
5- Once rebooted I open a notepad and try the special keys.
No change, CAB 1 or CAB 2.
is there a step I am missing.

Thanks, I will look at this as the alternative.
It really bothers be that I cannot change the keyboard layout by simply changing the registry keys like everyone else in this forum does.
Is there a secret trick to this>?
I mean I use a registry editor, edit the value, choose save, wait a few secs, perform a rest (stylus in rest hole) and it should take no?

WOW
Your Circle key is stuck most likely. Press the Circle key hard several times, if that doesn't work do a hard reset. If the problem continues, the you w this is not a software issue.

No, that's not it.
WHEN i press the curcle key and Q for example I am expecting a swedish character (since the keyboard itself is this) but I am getting what the UK hardware keyboard layout has.
I would therefore want to tell the iPaq that I have a euro keyboard.

Fixing German QWERTZ keyboard for O2miniS with O2 EnglishROM

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 :
a) software keyboard layout and
b) hardware keyboard layout

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".

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!

How do you mean - hebrew rom or hebrew font?
just so i can browse my ie and read herrew sites.thanks.
Try putting this hebrew font in windows\fonts on your device (after unzipping it), then soft reset. Dont know whether it will work, cant see any registry hack that can change pie font in that way.
thanks, but it didnt work.

Your hebrew looks like letters are backwards.
Take a look a the START text or at the left bottom of the screen you will see what i mean.

Keyboard input in CKE or CEdit

Hi
I have written about it in thread of one ROM but I decided to try to change ROM and problem still exists so I guess that problem is not about ROM, and that is the reason why I'm making new thread here. Nothing changed from last time I wrote about it so let me quote myself
I've got one problem. I want to use my Wizard to edit c++ code so I've installed CEdit trial and CKE but I have got same problem with both. When I want to type < in Word or Notepad I simply press Blue+K+2xSpacebar(while holding Blue) and I got it. But this way doesn't work in CEdit or CKE. I can write ( in this programs but when I try to modificate it with Spacebar nothing happedns (by nothing I mean that no character nor free space appears). I hope someone can help me with this, please.
Sorry for my English.
EDIT: Included applications, like Total Commander, works fine.

XT9 Fix released on HTC asia :-D

Well, after I installed it, it doesnt default to Xt9 any more when I go to new messages
Sweet!
can't find this, can you send the link?
this is fantastic!
what ROM are you using ? will this work with any ROM (and ROM language) ?
i would appreciate the link also!
here is the cab file, it's actually just a registry setting fix.
HTC-DUAL-TOUCH-XT9-TO-ABC-FIX
The registry concerned is:
Code:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME]
CarrierDefaultTextMode=dword:0
(0 for ABC / 1 for XT9)
A friend gave me this link as I am also having a problem with the HTC site.
Enjoy!
oh my god it works !!!!
i cant believe how simple that was !!! thank you so much for the registry entry, i can use my phone to text again !!!
it's great!
this was the most anoying thing on my new dual.
tx a lot,
pirlone
Doesn't work for me
in fact it screws my device up!.. it shows the ABC being as the default input, but I can only type the first letter in each key, multiple presses just repeats the same letter
I guess I will have to reflash the OS.. otherwise I now cant use the text input on the keypad anymore!
works on mine. thanks, dtm for letting me know about this.
Maybe doesnt work on mine becos Im running the WM6.1 Nikki project OS ??
Anyone else that has installed this using this Version?
Can you help me? I am begiiner having Dual 2 days. XT9 is really anoying esp for NON english users.But I cannot fix it as it is described. Can you show me step by step what to do? Thanks
It does not work for me!

Hi, just copy the cab to the phone and install it. Maybe you need to softreset your Niki. (open the battery case, the reset button is left to the USB connector).
Cheers
Michael
I love this and it is working well for me. My only issue is when using the touch keypad software, when you type it highlights the letters and take a few micro seconds to move to the next so if I am typing a sentence, and press space,it deletes that entire word or atleast the last few letters that I typed :-( So the only way to solve this is not text that fast or use the hardware keypad.
Wow I noticed so many people reposting this when this was posted a long time ago.
Anyway, just wanted to confirm this is working on my wifes elf also
Finally there's something to kill XT9
Change Mode from ABC to XT9 or XT9 to ABC.
Hey everyone!
First, I wanted to start out thanking muzikfreakah for the link to the .cab file and the posting the Registry path that needs to be modified. I used these as a base reference for the work I completed on my phone. Instead of wanting to go from XT9 to ABC, I wanted to change my phone from ABC to XT9.
Initially I used PHM Registry Editor to make the necessary change to the Registry value you noted. Shortly thereafter, I updated my ROM to WM 6.1 so I had to reapply the settings manually. This got me thinking. Why not just create a quick .cab file for myself, saving me time in the future. This is exactly what I did!
Attached are two .cab's I created a while back (just never got around to uploading them). The first .cab (SP_Default_ABC_To_XT9.cab) modifies the appropriate Registry Key, setting it to 1 (defaulting to XT9). The second .cab (SP_Default_XT9_To_ABC.cab) does just the opposite, changing the value to 0 (defaulting to ABC).
Final notes before I part -
File Sizes: The file size of each of my .cab's is 1.07 KB, as it only contains the necessary Registry Key change. The link muzikfreakah provided brings you to "HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab". This file size is 20.76 KB, as it appears to use a more complex method of making the necessary Registry changes.​Company and Application Name: After my .cab is installed, it will display in the Installed Programs list as "Seth_Polley Default_XT9_To_ABC" (or vice versa depending on .cab used). After installing the other .cab (HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab), the following is displayed in the Programs list: "Customization Customize_Tool".​
In summary, either file will work for changing from XT9 to ABC. While 20.76 KB is nothing by today's standards, you can go smaller yet by using my .cab's (about 1/20th of the file size). Additionally, my .cab's provide a more descriptive name in the Programs list. Pick your poison! To 'install' the Registry modification, simply move the .cab to your phone, execute it, and follow the prompts.
Feel free to PM me if you have difficulties accessing/downloading the files. If you are concerned about using my files, feel free to open the .cab (can use an application like WinRAR) and review the contained "_setup.xml" file to verify this .cab will only make the changes I noted above.
Best Regards,
Seth

Problem with language settings

Hi,
My LEO has english ROM and Its obvious that all of the apps and stuff is in english - and thats fine for me - i want it that way.
But when typing a message I would like my LEO to use polish language dictionary (useful to Spell Correction, to Word Completion
[XT9] and so on).
I know that it is possible to set different language for text input, but when I open the list of languages to choose from, I see: german, french, etc. but NO polish;/
Does anyone know how to deal with this? How to get polish lang on the list?
install a registry editor and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Tegic/eT9
click AvailableLanguages and add 0115 to the end of the value like:
0109,010C,0107,0110,010A,0115
then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Tegic/eT9/LdbFiles
and add a new String value named 0115 with a value of PLlsUN_xt9.ldb
then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Sip\LanguageKeyBoardIDMapping
and add a new String value named 0115 with a value of 0915
reboot your device...
It will be there CZ or SK too ?? ? ? Thanks CLEVER MAN ! !!
I think Slovak is 011B, SKlsUN_xt9.ldb, LanguageKeyBoardIDMapping 091B
but I haven't tried so I'm not sure..
Also not sure CZ is in there.. there's no .ldb file with CZ or something.. any ideas what it might be called? I think the code should be 0105.
if the ldb file is there it should be located in the windows folder

I followed Your guide but I still seem to have a problem.
I opend text editor right after rebooting my device. I set language to Polish, turned word prediction on and started typing. I entered 1 word and clicked space button to start typing second word. And from this moment my device is not responding (I had to perform restart). I tried it for about 5 times - always thesame reaction.
So I performed hard reset, set device language to Polish (previously i had English). When my Leo was ready I changed the registry according to Your instruction and restarted the device. From that moment my Leo is restarting all the time long. I had to remove the battery and do the hard reset to make it work again.
Do You know what could cause the problem?

I just checked to add Polish but it works perfectly for me.. maybe check your spelling with the .ldb file and check if the file is present in the windows folder.. is it an original ROM?
When you set your device to polish (multi language device??), did you check if the dictionary was maybe already there before you changed the registry? A polish device should have a polish dictionary standard you should say..
Well it works (wejdz w jakies pole textowe->klawiatura->trojkat przy klawiaturze->ust wprow texty->wlacz sprawdzanie pisowni) type kocham then press it to keep it save on word list then type koham and you should be able to choices between both words. Correct one will be at center in order to press space to accept(space soft key).
Unluckly you have to type words by your own to have it in xt9
It loock like not all language could be activatet.
I try to do that for Ukraine but no result.
