WM5/WM6 has build in on-screen keyboard which works OK when typing in English.
Now lets say I activated another "Locale" in registry to be able to type in e.g. Russian (0419).
Now I can type in Russian, but ... if I look at on-screen keyboard, it has no russian characters It has some weird characters instead.
So ... is there any way to do this ... when I'm typing using on-screen keyboard and I change language, that on-screen keyboard layout will change accordingly and display Russian characters layout ?
I know about Resco keyboard, but it is kind of heavy and consumes a lot of resources. I'm looking for lighter solution
what would be more interesting to switch it completely ... say an english rom with a russian keyboard instead of the english one.
Well ... when I click two buttons to change between English and Russian layout in hardware keyboard, it would be nice that soft-keyboard will display proper symbols TOO.
I think MuNs keyboard has something I need, but I believe it is bundled with numeric keypad (where you dial phone numbers)

Hi,
I would like to ask if someone knows which dll's needed in order to work the builtin keyboard?
Actually i have the original Greek rom which support to write greek letters in 160 charct. SMS and also in general with keyboard.i suppose that some custom specific dll's are used for this and now i needed to import in WM6.
Thanks
I don't understand, are you looking to change your keyboard layout? In this case, you just need to edit a registry key. I can't remember the exact key so you'll have to do a small search; one of those contains a list of values for the various layouts with it stating that the UK keyboards hava a "locale" value of 0809...
Hi,
Not the layout of keyboard.
I am looking to change the character of each english letter of keyboard
hardware of software keyboard?
Hardware keyboard.
Edit \Windows\sym.txt
Or just install AEKMap and put the Greek Keyboard .aek file. There is also one for 160 chars sms. Pm me if you want it
Hey,
Do u think that there is a way to change the android source to support input of more lanuage directly from the keyboard and not from on-screen keyboard?
Like in windows when clicking on alt+shift it change the keyboard input from english to other language.
Hi,
I have spent the last week trying to get a greek keyboard with T9 on my AT&T Fuze (Raphael/HTC Touch Pro), and for the life of me, nothing has worked. I see Greek characters (say on Phone Pad layout) but when I tap on the screen, nothing gets displayed. Only spaces do and symbols.
Once I get that, I am hoping to find a way to enable 160 characters (convert message to capitals).
I am running RRE HTC Fuze Rom 4.4.5 Special Edition. I am willing to give any other rom a chance provided I can type Greek and English using T9 (but English UI please).
I have tried, or at least I want to believe, everything on the forums.
First, I tried NitroGenious's Greek-English cab (I used his Rom on my T-Mobile SDA (Tornado) and worked amazingly well). -> No Greek on menu, probably because this was for a smartphone.
Then I tried T9 Input 14 Languages Update (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402121) and that gave me greek symbols on the display (software) keyboard, but when I try to type a word using Phone Keypad or other keyboard layouts, I don't get suggestions or anything (of course I have turned on all T9 options: Spell Correction, Word Completion in T9 mode, Word Completion in ABC mode, Auto-Substitution).
Then I tried using some other (non HTC) keyboard layouts and their T9s.
First I tried whc_SM_Keyboard_+_eT9_M_v1.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3057424&postcount=1). That gave me Greek as well, but no T9 for Greek.
Then I tried HTC Phone Pad (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312235), and this one worked but the VGA version only has English. The International version keyboard was 1/2 the screen in width, which made it very difficult to press buttons. I would prefer to stick with default keyboards in ROM but if this can work, I would be ok with it.
Third, I tried MoDaCo_Vox_eT9_Language_Pack.cab, and that didn't five me T9 either.
Last, I tried fingertouchpro_2.0_rc7.cab and that was just wrong (+ the greek didn't work).
And I wouldn't pay for T9 in a million years.
Obviously, I had to hard-reset my device many times already, which I am ok doing until I can find a solution.
If I need to make any changes to the registry (point to png, kdb and ldb files), I am fine with doing this if anyone knows the keys and values.
All I need is T9 in Greek that works with my HTC Touch Pro (English T9 works fine). If I can see the Greek characters, even better. If not, I'll use my intuition.
If I can get that, then it would be awesome if I can get something to be able to write 160 greek characters (Capitals). In the past there used to be something called SMS160, but that was quickly removed because it is owned by Ace Hellas. Any alternatives?
Any help would be wholeheartedly appreciated.

Hi,
After I have installed ICS, I cannot use any other input language with the hardware keyboard. It is always English. No matter what keyboard I select: Android (Russian), Smart Keyboard or whatever I have english letters appear on key presses. On Honeycomb I had ASUS Keyboard which allowed to switch language using Ctrl-Space combination. Now I don't have the ASUS keyboard anymore. Have anyone been successful in typing non-English on the dock keyboard?

I have already made a quick hack keyboard to produce russian characters on dock keyboard key presses and switch to english using Ctrl-Space. It should be pretty straight forward to add other european languages if some one would like me to. Chinese, Japanese and Korean is tough and I have no plans to support them.
If anyone is interested, here is the hacked by me standard ICS android keyboard, which allows to type both russian and english on Transformer's dock keyboard. Left_Ctrl+Space changes layout. All other features should work correctly - soft keyboard, voice input...
Here is my moded keyboard discussion thread:

I'm Spanish, and so is my keyboard dock. However, I often type in English with it. Under HC, it wasn't an issue, I used Asus Keyboard in Spanish, and since word suggestion was disabled while using the keyboard, I lost no functionality. This is important because I need to set the Input Method to Asus Keyboard (Spanish) to get the right key layout for my dock keyboard (It mostly changes where some symbols are, such as the @ symbol, and punctuation, on top of adding dead keys for accented letters)
Come ICS, and everything works exactly the same. However, now ICS includes auto-spellcheck independent of the word suggestions, and uses the language of the keyboard to identify the language of what you typed. This means that while I'm typing, and getting the right keyboard layout via the Asus Keyboard (Spanish), every word gets a wiggly red line underneath (and performance suffers a little). When I change to Asus Keyboard (English), I can use auto-spellcheck, BUT it's cumbersome to type (mainly punctuation and symbols).
If there a way to tell the tablet that it should use the Spanish keyboard layout while using another language for spellcheck? Is there any free or paid Input Method app to help me here? I'm not rooted, but feel free to suggest some root only apps and solutions if it's what it takes.

Same problem here. The only custom ROM which works well with my PT dock is Revolver 4
