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.

add keys to keyboard?

I'm an amatuer web designer, and so therefor I write HTML and other languages on my MDA. for anyone who has looked at HTML before, you will know that the language uses < and > a fair amount. guess which characters the MDA keyboard doesn't have...
what I'm looking for is an app that will program fn+g and fn+h (or any other keys, doesn't matter) to < and >. it might have been done before, might not be possible... but if anyone has a bit o' spare time and feels like having a go, I'd be very grateful
thanks in advance
Hi there,
The solution for your problem is quite easy: look for the file "sym", in windows folder, opened it with a text editor, and you'll see a list of characters. The first in each line is the key name, and the default character for that key.
After that one, you can enter any character. When you're typing, you can scroll for the characters of each line using "sym" key.
One detail: as you want to add symbols that don't exist in the keyboard, you need to copy the "sym" file to the PC, edit it there, and then copy it back to the PPC.
thanks! i'd forgotten all about the Sym key...
I edited sym.txt with Total Commander's text editor, and it didn't work... when I was copying back from sd card to Windows/ I noticed my file was 248bytes, and the original was 418bytes or something like that...
I did, however, use the PDA in question to do this... I think i'll now follow your advice and edit on my laptop

Touch Keyboard autoswitch between 40&20 keys (Help)

Has anyone figured out how to prevent the Original "Touch Keyboard" on the Sprint HTC Touch from switching between the 40 key version to the 20 key version?
It's anoying whenyou need to type something it chages to the 20 key.
I've looked in the registries and I can't find anything related to that.
i know there was a cab released that hacks the touch keyboard to stay only on the 40key mode but it disables the xt9 in the process, if you can live without it
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146118&page=2
look at post #25 your just interested in the registry hack to make it only 40key
Hi,
Thanks for the Reply. But I didn't see a CAB file there. There is a more.zip files that looks like a full keyboard installation. not really a fix to the existing keyboard.
Is there anything else?
Thanks,
suggestion: get touchpal www.cootek.com
ya its a registry entry i typed it out wrong
teste2.zip contains the reg entries to turn the 20key permanently to the 40key

T9 Editor...

Hi, This is my first post so go easy on me....
So, lately, my T9 is getting full of words that i accidentally have misspelled... For example, every time i write the word don't, the word font is displayed on the screen. It's really annoying
I Have looked under the keyboard input setting, but the only setting that is useful is the option to delete all of the dictionary that i have added.
I'm just wondering if there is a program out there that will let me edit my dictionary? I've tried a few, but, none of them use the existing dictionary of my HTC Elf.

Auto word suggestion

My elfin auto suggest words when using keyboard on a black horzontal line above the keyboard. How can I switch to the original WM vertical list method? Is there a reg key to change?
Thanks!
I think thats build into your SIP.
Which means you cant change it, you can try googling it though.
I'd really like to get rid of that black bar as well.
Is there some way you can change the SIP?
A solution
Ok I found out how to do it and it just requires a couple of small registry changes.
Change the following entries under registry key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts
Ime File: compime.dll (compime.dll was in my Windows directory so I didn't need to copy it)
Layout Text: COMP IME
Soft reset and the old autocomplete that we all know and love is back, e.g. a small box with all the suggestions.

May not be as the keyboard is the standard WM keyboard, not the HTC one. Additionally, for some time, I managed to make the black bar go away and revert to the drop down list. But recently, I did a deep registry celarning using memmaid and somehow something was changed and it caused the blacj bar to appear again...
Wondering where in the Registry should I look for this....

I see entries under the Layouts: (Which one to change for normal Windows Mobile Keyboard?)
00000409
Layout File kbdNopAll.dll
Layout Text US
PS2_AT kbdNopAll.dll
e0010409
Ime File \windows\eT9ime.dll
Keyboard Layout 00000409
Layout Text eT9 IME
e0010804
Ime File xime.dll
Keyboard Layout 00000409
Layout Text Mobem IME
Which one should I change? Or do I creat a new entry? Thanks for your help!
--------------------
Found put that I should change e0010409 from eT9ime.dll to compime. Problem is that I can;t find this file on my elf.... continuing to look
