X-perts please?
well I'm niehter portoguese nor english, and barely use touch keyboard, and I'm not sure what characters you're talking about, however, if you long press "a" or "o" new symbols with accents and stuff will appear, keep your finger pressed and slide it to the desired letter. you can see how it's done by viewing the tutorial:go to the settings tab, choose "locale & text" then "text input", the tutorial is at the bottum>
hope this helps

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
Hello,
I tried Search button first, so if there is a topic already, please can you post the link?
Anyway.
I'm from czech republic and I'm very used to qwertz keyboard layout instead of qwerty. Is there any posibility to swap Y and Z on HW keyboard? I already tried change keyboard layout to czech (using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446449) but it didnt help.
I would very much appreciate if someone can help me.
Thanks in advance
Don't know if you checked this (in czech):
http://forum.semania.cz/index.php?topic=19323.0
For non-czech speakers .. the post above (here on XDA-developers) says how to SWITCH the layout. Here is the method how the modify it.
There should be simple readeble text file in the phone at path:
Phone\Windows\sym.0409.txt
(replace your locale code, see the post above).
In this file, replace any characters to obtain modified layout. Haven't tried by myself though.
Thank you, but
as far as I understood this file only changes characters that are offered by pressing "àű" right after some character - I mean when you press A you get à after first press of "àű" button and á after second press of "àű" button etc.
I'd like to change the layout from qwerty to qwertz. Just swap Y/Z, nothing more.
Any other ideas?
you need AEKMap.
I did this for my i780, just check the link in my sig.
you have to do the same for the X1, but i am not sure if the keycodes are identical. just try it out.
Thanks very much, this actualy works. I only wonder if it will slow down my device in some way.
it doesn't slow down my i780 and it is super lightweight.
you can also rearrange your czeck special letters in the sym txt file like others have pointed out. should give you a fully working, localized keyboard.
If all you want is to exchange Y and Z, go to the link in you first post and change the code to german layout. it works!
Well, that was the first think I thought of. But there are too many changes in the layout. So that was no option for me. but thanks for idea
btw. this AEkmap doesnt work in text boxes on pages in opera mobile.
Hi all, not sure if I'm the only one with this problem. Initially, when creating new SMSes, under the "To", when i start to key in the first few alphabets of the contact's name, the suitable names that begin with those few letters will be displayed at the top of the keypad for me to choose, so i don't have to key in the whole name. But i notice that recently, i have to key all the alphabets of the name, before it appears at the top of the keypad for me to choose? I never install any new programs before this happened so i doubt it's a clash of software. Anyone has this same issue as me?
yeah, there seem to be a problem with the hd.. i use the classic windows keyboard and it did not show up earlier.
so i followed some guys instructions with some registry edits and its working alright now. but the large qwerty of htc still has the problem. i dont use it so its no biggy for me as long as my classic keyboard works.
and on the large qwerty, i noticed that it showed up the suggestions as soon as u hit backspace after u write the first two or three letters of the name. for example, if u wrote 'smit' and hit backspace, it would show up 'smith 7906561' on the suggestion list..
this is what happens to me on the large qwerty.. check whether it happens on urs.. and if ur using the classic keyboard, i'd post the registry edits i made.. goodluck!

I think you guys have the same problem as the Touch Pro - it's T9 getting in the way. If you disable T9 then you can use other keyboards (there's a new shiny black on in the Blackstone forums) and get predictive text working properly or use the Full QWERTY keyboard which will likely work with a few kinks. Here's a long but detailed article on what to do to fix it and what you gain and lose: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1527
since the Pro and HD have the same software and are similar on hardware I'm presuming this is exactly the same issue.
here you go op this works

Hi everyone...
I'm new in the WM world so i'm asking for your help:
How do I get PCM Keyboard to work in Portuguese?
I tried the 0.14, with a portuguese layout I found on the web (the only one I found!!!) and iphone skin... it works but... it has some bugs:
- missing the "_" in the layout
- when I try typing the name of a contact in a SMS so I would normally get the contact suggestion, the list only appears when a click on backspace button (ex.: I want to send a SMS to John, I type "J" (nothing appears), I continue typing "JO" (still nothing), then I click on the backspace button (and ONLY THEN, a suggestion list appears).
I installed the new version (0.24) but it's impossible to find a portuguese layout!!!
Any portuguese in the room (or others you may know where I can find the files I need...)?
Thank you so much!
Hi,
I originally uses the stock rom (localized for hong kong).
The difference between this variant and the European version is that the "sym" button is also the key for swapping between chinese and english input method when using hardware keyboard.
When I flash to Virtuous 0.9, the sym button is used as ".com" function so I'm not able to change the input method.
I've also tried the european swapping method of "alt+spacebar" but failed.
Can anyone suggest a mod for that? Thanks and sorry for my poor English!
I can provide a dump for the hong kong rom if it helps.
go into setting refered for keyboards and select touch input..find the submenu for hardware keyboard and select the 2 languages you want (in your case english and chinese)..close everything and go to any space that you can type, to test (e.g sms) then start typing..probably the default language to type would be english...now hit the magnifying lense button which is near the bottom right corner of the hardware keyboard (looks like a search button)..try typing , and you will see that the language has changed
now i dunno if this is a bug or snything else, but if you REtry to switch the same way back to english it seems to stuck..you can just tap anywhere in the text and then try to type and everything is great...really,not an important issue..Sorry if i am not being very detailed right now but i am currently on cm , not virtuous, so i just told you what i remember from heart..
Give me feedback if this worked for you or not and i can go for a quick nandroid to see it out myself..
Enjoy Spring Festival mate
Thank you for the detailed reply!
In the hardware keyboard settings, I could only find "Default language" and "Prediction".
The "default language" has three options, "English", "倉頡" and "拼音" respectively, where the last two are Chinese input methods.
It just pop out a search menu when i pressed the magnifying button.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Okay..some things i might forgot..make sure android keyboard is un-ticked and you are using the htc ime..also did you try typing into an area that you are supposed to type text in, or like in browser url are, sms contact name input field , email address input area?if you use the lense button in one of these it is mapped to do other things, like check ur contact list, or your email address favourites..
try a notepad..or a reply in this forum for example..or an sms typing area.
Sorry but there's no option for "android keyboard" in sense-based roms.
I've tried the magnifying glass in sms typing area. It just pops out the "search message" screen.
While the address bar comes out when I tried to press the button when replying forum messages.
Appreciate your help very much! Thank you!
bump for advice.... thanks!
Hey,
There could be an other way. You could try to get your language change button back.
In /system/usr/keylayout you'll find the layouts of the keyboard. If you have a copy/backup of your original keyboard layout, you could just use that one instead.
I havent tried it myself, but there is a change to TAB. But I don't know which value it should be in your case.
Mybe it helps you, good luck
