1. Install the registry editor like Total commander ( http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.exe ) or Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/downloads.asp ) to your Pocket PC
2. Open the program on your device and go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd].
3. Create New String Value (if you already dont have one with the name Locale)
4. Type in Value name: Locale
5. Type in Value Data: 0407 (as i have an german device. NOTE: You've to look in the "LCIDHex" column on this site: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx for fourther area codes)
6. Close the window by clicking on Ok
7. Exit the program
8. hold your powerbutton for a few seconds until you'll be asked if you really want to switch your device off, click on YES
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RESET DEVICE WITH STILUS BY PRESSING RESET BUTTON
9. Turn on your device and it should work.

This method does not work on my AKU2.3 ROM (the "Mr Clean" ROM). My local Qtek distributor has a CAB available that changes the keyboard layout to Swedish - that fix worked on the older ROM versions but all it does now is to inactivate all the buttons on the Wizard (!).
So I really need to find a way of setting the keyboard to Swedish on my WWE ROM.
Any ideas?

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 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.

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.

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!

Blue key + sym and german umlauts

With my "old" ROM v1.3.7.11 german (RUU_Prodigy_1030711_120_10410_Qtek_GER_Ship.exe) I got german umlauts by pressing the blue key + sym after entering one of the letters a/o/u. Now with v2.8.7.1 (RUU_Prodigy_2080701_101_11310_Qtek_WWE_Test.exe) it works, but I always don't get the german umlaut as the first selection, e.g. for a I get à first and after pressing blue+sym four times I get ä. Does anyone know how to change this so that I get ä at the first time like in the german ROM?

In your \Windows folder there is a file sym.txt is specifies in which order the characters are used with the Sym key. Change it to your liking or copy a sym.txt from a German rom.

Uah, fast like a greased lightning! Many thanks, works like a charm.

Dutch language XT9 with 16 key's

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?

HP iPaq HW6915 with UK ROM, need keyboard remapping

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.
