You can change the order of the characters when using the Sym key!
I'm Norwegian, so I use ÆØÅ a lot!
Normally, I'd have to press "a" and then "Sym" 9 times to get "æ".
Now, I press "a" and "Sym" one time!
All you have to do is edit the "\Windows\sym.txt" file..
Here is the original one:

I guess you understand how to edit it?
I just moved "æ" from the end of the line, to the second place on the first line..
Now, I can't take credit for this..
I got it from Dangaard!
But I though I'd share it anyway, because Dangaard requires you to give a valid IMEI number to get such info from them..
Very nice find, comes in handy for the german umlaute too.
It's worth mentioning that this file is Unicode and must be edited with a Unicode capable editor. You can't do that on the device.
Before copying the new version you also need to remove the read only flag from the original file (And ignore all the Warnings about overwriting ROM files...)
Takk for det
Tnx.. and I think if you save a word doc with a norwegian dictionary the JasJar will be able to use that for spelling sugestions ?, someone tried this ??

SYM function for special Characters
Great Find!
I aften have to write in Portuguese which means I need ç, ã é à and all other odd characters. BUT, I have a question.
Can you just copy the SYM.TXT file from the device to your computer edit it and copy it back? Does file explorer grant you access to do that or does one need a special app to do that?
Cheers
You can use the normal file explorer on you pocket pc. Just copy the sym.txt to another name to edit it, then put it back in the windows folder under the sym.txt name. It will overwrite the original until you delete it, where you get the original settings back.
Thanks for a great tip! Is there perhaps some similar method for editing symbols on the on-screen keyboard?
Thanks a lot for this tuning.
I´ve one more question to symbols in documents like the german umlaute. I use the transcriber in my MDA pro. But its only the english language chooseable. Is there also any possibility to change this input program to german/greek...?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!
In this days i'm writing a scientific document.. And i NEED of Greek Symbols.. I solved the problem with your tip!
Thank you to share with us!
The input method come from official 1.11.531 WWR ROM
I just ctreated a cab file which can automatic install.
If you are english user using my rom.
you can use this to go back to ET9
It was not fully tested, because i dont have a shadow.
If it work, please send me a reply
Thanks for the Chinese rom. Though the T9 does not work. I can only type numbers after installing this one. Was trying to use the * button to change
input method in messaging, but the * button always just lock the device.
The Chinese input method works, though it does not match the keyboard layout at all. I guess a mapping instruction would be helpful if fix is not possible.
Thank you for your testing.
I will repack the Et9 and upload again
Hi, HiKey. I tried something else and this is an interesting thing I found.
I found this language pack and installed it. Funny thing is, none of the 14 languages showed up. BUT, now when I press and hold the *key, instead of locking the device, it now give me choice of Pinyin, Bihua, Number, T9, ZiMu(ABC), and I can choose and use each fine. So I guess that your rom may already have a few input options, but may need a reg change to the *key from lock to switching input method. Just my 2 cents.
http://www.modaco.com/content/htc-j...1925/modaco-shadow-xt9-language-pack-14-in-1/
Well, now I can input everything. Just not matching the Shadow keyboard layout. But still a great improvement. Thanks again for the great and stable ROM.

Testing now and thx for the contribution.
Are you sure it fits the 20 keys keypad of C750, also known as Shadow, Juno?
Use their new Shadow. His in Vietnam. How can turn off the default text from the T9 to ABC?

hello guys,
the hardware keyboard on my i-mate K-JAM is QWERTZ but when i updated its ROM version it became QWERTY i.e. when i press z on my keyboard it displays y
and the other symbols too have messed up
pls help!
thanks in advance!
-Evil Eye
Maybe you got a wrong language rom from the one you had, try installing your old rom again.
If not it may be a hardware issue, maybe have a look for the keyboard mappers if there are any and remap your keyboard keys back to the way they were maybe.
Hope this helps.

Hello XDA
I have just noticed that the "?" key (FN P) is not typing the ? but an ";". Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Fn P on my UK QWERTY X1 has ; on the keyboard. ? is at the bottom and doesn't need the Fn key.
Wierd,
Mine has the ? mark on the P key in blue. There must be a setting then for this somewhere in the OS
Austrian QUERTZ has the "?" on "Fn"+"P" and the ";" is "SHIFT"+","
Seems you have an English ROM installed but you would need a German one.
ok my keyboard is:
"?" on "Fn"+"P" the ";" is on "SHIFT"+"," the "+" is on "Fn"+"N". Any ideas
You have flashed UK rom on non UK device, that is your problem. Most of non UK X1 have localized keyboards and they will work ok only with org language rom. The only way for you is to find keyboard driver and swap it to your X1 orginal language.
Ok I just did a hard reset and it flashed itself. So I need to reload it somehow?

Are you kidding me?
Does not changing CurLang value work on X1?
Go to HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD and there find CurLang value. You need to open the file and change the 1033 to the value of your device. I do not have the values here, but they are on XDA, please search the forums for the answer.
Where is your device from?
I assume that Austrian and German layouts are the same.
Go to the key I posted above and change it to 1031, close your reg editor and there probably is not even soft reset needed...
EDIT: If that gives the wrong layout try 3079 after that. (I do not know of this code is supported)
Under the device settings it shows GENERIC_UK... Other then that no idea, I do know the manuals came in some other language.. so not sure.
Use registry editor program, like the free Total Commander and do as I posted earlier.

I just tested this and it does work. Changing CurLang to 1031 changes the layout to QWERTZ and "?" is under "P" etc... Soft reset needed after change.
People please use the SEARCH on the boards. All these type of problems most likely have been addressed in other devices.

I got total commander installed, where do I find the registry at? Currently I am seeing a directory listing.
go to \\plugins, there is registry folder...
Well we are close! now the z and the y keys are backwards. Any other numbers to try? Thanks!
Ok then your device is not with German layout?

Bought it brand new from someone on Amazon, not sure what country it was from other than the booklets where not in English.

Best thing would be that you find out what country your device is from, the booklets should give you that info...
I think that you have bought a device that had a English rom installed by the seller and he did the right localization for it. Now that you did a hard reset everything went back to the original rom setup.
This will be no problem when you find out where your device is from.
Does it have a carrier branding?
Ok it looks like the manuals are in Swedish Language... Viktig Information is written on the main manual.

Hello,
Is it possible to extract the new Greek keyboard (SIP) and T9 from the newly released WM6.5 ROM for htc Topaz and use it in Leo?
I've tried - unsuccessfully - to do so, in order to install the Greek keyboard and T9 LDB to my Leo. The Leo comes with ROM 1.43.405.1 WWE.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello again.
Is it possible to include a Greek T9 dictionary with this Greek keyboard?
Keep in mind that there is a limitation on that. You can not send 160 greek characters per sms with this keyboard yet, it is limited to 70. We are searching for a solution on that.

The greek keyboard as well as the greek T9 are already pre-installed in your device. Some image files are missing however, and as a result of that you can not activate Greek language unless you either install the missing images (tsipistri's post) or modify the greek xml files to link to the english images.
These 2 solutions are posted here
I have not tested T9 with tsipistri's solution yet, but with the changed xml files T9 works flawlessly.
Regarding 160 sms, it seems right now that there is no ability for the ezinput application to write in GSM encoding. So, if you need 160 sms you can use Finger keyboard.
Hmmm Greek affiliates from Cosmote and from Chios island....
Well the Greek Leo ROM is out on my hands lads...why such an effort for extra cab files...

This will be possible with either a new SMS-oriented on-screen keyboard or a in-memory solution patch (like the one used by ACE Hellas) where non-GSM characters are swapped with the correct ones.
For the time being, I have no problem sending Greek SMS of 160 by simply employing some common logic: typing always in UPPERCASE English and switching to Greek uppercase only for the non-latin characters.

Amazing idea! It works. I know how to fix it now.
Stay tuned for a working version with 160 sms. I will release it very soon.
English - Greek ezinput keyboard with ability to send 160 characters in greek sms
Instructions
1) Uninstall any other version of this or tsipistri's keyboard
2) Install the attached cab file
3) Click on the white box next to the space bar in order to change between Greek and English Unicode letters.
4) From either English or Greek keyboard click on 12# box in order to write sms with 160 Greek capital letters
5) All removed symbols have been relocated to ABC menu or to page 2 of 12# menu
I am now working on an alternative version that will include 3 different keyboards (Greek, Greek SMS & English)
Great job Step2p, I will try it when I'm back home
Thank you very much for your efforts.
A red skin version with some bugs corrected.
If you haven't noticed it yet, long press entries are already activated in the sms keyboard. If you long press the capital letters you will enter the symbols that normally appear above them.
The file size is larger due to the included skin images.

Hi Step2p.
Many thanks for providing this nice keyboard.
There seems to be a problem when using it though, described originally here. The thread suggests that the problem is related to a registry hack, however, I have confirmed that I have the same problem irrespective of the registry setting. I am only noticing this behavior when using the greek keyboard.
Do you think you could have a look?
