Since I had severe problems getting the swedish characters to work after upgrading to WM6 (Pandora 3.2) I thought I'd provide the other swedes here with my sollution.
For the hardware keyboard:
Open a registry editor and locate
HKCU >> ControlPanel >> Keybd
Change the string from 0409 to 0414 and save.
Turn the wizard off by using the power button. Do no soft reset. If you soft reset sometimes the registry is not saved.
Turn the wizard on. You should now have swedish characters.
The value 0409 is for english. I could not get it to work by replacing it with 041d which is the code for Swedish according to Microsoft (all country codes can be found here http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx )
However, one user in the forum used 0414 which is really Norwegian_Bokmal but they also use å, ä and ö. Tested this and it worked.
Some threads tell you to also change the value in two other places:
HKCU >> keyboard layout >> Preload >> 1 >> Default and
HKCU >> keyboard layout >> Preload >> Default
Do not change these settings. It will do nothing except disabling the auto complete function. I also encountered problems starting the wizard after changing these settings.
To get swedish characters on the onscreen keyboard I installed SkandinaviskTastatur5 which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1150091&postcount=97
Hope this helps!
thanks.
Good job.
Just helped a friend.

I dont understand how to change the langue on the harwere keyboard, plz help me!! // Michael
Tackar! Usally I use Registry Wizard for this, but with this method I don't have to install any 3:d-part programs
Perfekt!
Tack för hjälpen
Didnt work for me.
I tryed this at my Kaister with 6.1 but it didnt work. did try both 0414 and 041d.
For the hardware keyboard the only way I've ever got it to work is by using a proggie called "skandinavisk tastatur". Comes as a .cab- just install and it lets you choose which nordic keyboard layout to use. It's a bit tricky to track down (I think it is freeware though), but nothing half an hour on google will fix

Thank you so much for the information, I've been looking for a way to get Scandic letters working for quite some time now. Finally I can use my Wizard normally.
I can also confirm that this works for Finnish. As stated in the first post, just navigate to HKCU - ControlPanel - Keybd and change "Locale" to "0414", hard restart via the power button and you're done.

in fact, i suggest you to use the EZIMPUT from cracing, there is swedish as well.
i have a wizard with swedish characters on keyboard, if you want i can take a shot and send via email to you, so you can easily figure how to "design2 the characters on your keyboards....
Jag kan inte pråta på svensk, med jag vill hjelp (hope is the correct way to write in swedish)

Hi all ...
we need some (maybe a lot) help from programmers to try to remap the hard keyboard keys from mda3.
As many guys know, we are a lot that we buy the mda3 with german hard keyboard layout... and now that we all have an english os, we must remap the key and symbols.
Any idea will be appreciated, we have all files from german os an english os.
Nobody want to broke the keyboard to glue the buttons in other place...
Nobody now how and where can order another english keyboard and replace it phisically.
Remain two thinks:
1. find the file with the layout and remap the symbols via hex edit
2. recompile a new layout (and here may be usefull for future progs)
All idea wiil be apreciated, all guru's invited
Please help us ... we can not take advantage of the new hard keyboard in this mode.
Thanks all before and...
COURAGE FOR ALL NEW POSTS THAT MUST BE UPDATED(POSTED) !!!

Actually, keys and numbers are fine. It's punctuation that is almost impossible to use unless you have a good memory
From what I remember of the old thread that got wasted, a few things were looked at but it seems harder than it should. You would think one or two files transferred from the PDA2K to the MDA III, like a keyboard dll and a mapping data file, would do the trick but, as usual with engineers, they made it harder than it should.
I can suggest another way for this remapping: just writing a kind of program lookind for keypressings and substitute them with another keystrokes.
I've already done it for Russian keyboard (project home page is http://ae.inc.ru/bahrus.html , but it is Russian only). Current state is "beta".
I can do some key remappings this way. But I need to know which of the keys should be replaced with which one. Or replacement table may be simply saved in config.
I'll do a tabel with the replaced hex value ...
You need only the xex value for this or need more ?
Thanks a lot
Denis
Let's try (before find all remapping simbol) to remap only the two letters z and y.
Symbolic constant Value (Hex) keyboard equivalent
VK_Y 59 Y key
VK_Z 5A Z key
like ... if '59' then '5A' and viceversa...
If we can remap this two letters, we can remap all we want.
Thanks a lot
Denis

Go here:

and look for Bluangel folder.

Ok, I decided to implement more general solution for this problem and develop customizable hardware key-remapping software. This application wil allow to remap not only BlueAngel built-in keyboard but almost any hardware keybord connected to wince (some of my friends use Luch or Flexis external keyboards with PDA).
Hope first beta version will appear next week.
thank you!, sure i'll be back with more questions though!
Fantastic!
I'm excited about this

Wow, that's great news. (exactly what I wanted to hear!) Keep up the good work. (you rock)
AEKMap is available at http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.html
To make "remapping" you need:
- install the program;
- run Start - Programs - AEKMap Settings and choose "AZERTY MDAIII with English ROM" in first combo box
- set three other optional layouts to "unassigned" and/or unassign "switch" key.
If you want to create specific layout, you may start with editing one of the existing. Use \Program Files\AEKMap\AEKMapScan.exe to define keyboard pseudo-scan codes.
To find unicode character codes use Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map on your desktop
This program may be closed with popup menu on system tray (lower-right corner of today screen).
And I'm definitly sure that some bugs are in this utility now. Let me know if you find them
Also send me with your layouts to be published on site (will appear in a days)
P.S.: AEKMapper may be used to remap almost any external or built-in hardware keyboard recognized by system.
AWESOME!
Thanks for doing this. If i understand correctly, what's needed now to get the German MDA III keyboard mapped correctly, following the imate english rom installation, is to:
use AEKmapscan.exe to identify all the keys that need remapping
then look up the correct unicode characters for the desired keymapping
enter them into a .AEK file and put into the Program Files/AEKMap directory on the MDA III.
If i get some free time today, that's what I'll do. If anybody beats me to it, please post!
thanks again, AE!
So here is a mostly working layout file for the MDAIII German. The only thing that seems to be not working is the semicolon/colon key just to the right of the space bar. that key seems to have no shifted mode, according to aekmapscan.exe
also: if aekmapscan.exe is running, this appears to stop the keyboard from working at all in applications. it needs to be stopped entirely.
Thanks again for this great tool!
It is always nice to know your job is needful to someone
As for the problem with semicolon: changing CapsLock/Shift processing flags should help:
HookShift 1
HookCapsLock 1
Probably I'll find a better solution for this later, but now I can't...
Official project home page will be available at http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.html
thanks for the tool, works great. Can you add an option to not have the mapping name on the bottom, i.e. DenisJ Layout? It covers up the wireless icon that I use to turn Wifi on & off.
thanks again for the app
you already can turn it off. that's the "hint" option in the settings.
A parts from thanks the great job from AE, i wan't to try to ask a question:
In the registry there's a part...
HKCU/Keyboard Layout that have a profile value..
Could it be usefull..
My German Mda3 have... preload/1 set to e0010409.
Can anyone post the english Pda2K value...
Rups..
Bug report
AEKMap works quite well, thanks to the developer!
But...
I noticed that, when AEKMap is on, you can´t adjust sound/volume levels from the external button on the left side of the screen. Is that a bug or a feature? :roll:
Second thing is that if you switch the AEKMap off, you can switch it on only by softreset. Is that ment to be?
Can anyone confirm those features, or is it just in my MDAIII?
-Jigi
Sorry guys but i just arive from my fisrt (this year) snowboard weekend
AE many many thanks from me and (as can you see) from all other guys with the same german mda3...
I just tryed some days ago to begin something like this using EVC++ 4.0 ... but it's too much to study for an as400 programmer
This will be surrely in my startup programs for a log live time of my mda3...
Surelly we will ask you some options in future ...
Another lot of thanks

I got my hands on the Greek firmware from qtek.gr with a friend's IMEI and installed as is desribed in the forum with the use of MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. (from French to Greek)
After the upgrade was finished and I resetted the qtek I got a message saying something about Illigal ROM and this the property of ACE HELLAS....
Now everytime I turn on my pocket pc it just resets after a while. I don't even get in the main interface. It resets after it shows the little red numbers on the right corner. (WWE etc)
I would really appreciate some help in this matter. I was given the s100 as a gift from a French friend and haven't been using it for a few months now because I was trying to translate it to Greek. (the greek company could not help either )
Basically you're scr*wed. The Greek firmware has some extra checks in it & that's what you're experiencing now. You need to revert to another firmware to get your device functioning again. To do this download a shipped-rom, put your device in bootloader & flash. See the wiki for more complete instructions.
M
Thank you very much for your answer!
This place is huge!! is there a chance you could provide a link to that?
Thanks again
Sure explore the magician part, especially the howto on rom upgrading via exe-file via this link http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Magician on that page are links to several shipped-roms (exe-files) too, just pick a current one. WWE mean World Wide English & 1.13 is the most recent one.
Good luck,
M
Thank you very much!
I am downloading a shipped rom as I write and got my qtek bootlock!
Let's hope this works!
Btw I couldn't find version 113 at the xda ftp.
This is a WWE 1.13 rom, only the ext-rom network settings are Netherlands T-Mobile: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/NL_11300_131_11200.exe
M
Hi again.
I installed this: WWE_11200_152_11200.exe
And the whole menu has some strange pink and grey colours and stuff like that.
Can I revert it back to windows?
Thanks again
So it's alive again
Just change the today theme 'start -> settings -> today' to Windows default. You can delete the T-mobile theme *.tsk from \windows on your device to spare some RAM afterwards.
M
Yes!!! it's alive and all thanks to your help!
Many thanks again!
You wouldn't know how to get rid of all those T-Mobile logos from everywhere or bring the little icons (for contacts etc) that T-mobile put in my phone now would you...?
They came with the ext-rom. Did you notice the Customizing pop-up just after you finished the initialization? You can skip that part by soft-resetting your device just before the pop-up shows. So hard-reset again & after the message 'tap the screen to begin using your device' you soft-reset when the default blue Windows wallpaper shows.
Now you got a plain 2k3 device!
The T-Mobile today-plugin can be switched off via 'start -> settings -> today -> items' & uncheck what you don't like. Doesn't work for the intelli-dialer though.
So start resetting...
M
Thanks again.
Do you by any chance know how I can write Greek in SMS?
The keyboard gives me some wierd characters!
Sorry besides a vacation I haven't done anything in Greek for 20 years.
Can't help you with that. Is there a Greece t9?
M
:lol:
I have set up Greek in the localization option and the date appears in Greek.
This little button appears on the left side of the keyboard near Shift that looks like it should have Greek on it. When I press it all those wierd symbols appear.
And yes that is the Greek t9 I guess.
btw how do I soft-reset the phone? by just pressing the reset button underneath the phone?
And hard-reset by pressing the On/Off button and the reset button?
You're right about the way to soft-&hard-reset. The opt.symbol button is for special characters, not all necessarily Greek.
Probably the true Greek rom gives you proper Greek, but then we're back to the beginning :-(
Is it still good enough to use for you?
M
I can live with it
I will just have to SMS ppl in Enlgish.
I found a software from microsoft that translates and offers Greek keyboard. i might buy that.
Thanks again!
You're welcome
greek sms
try paragon's software (http://pocket-pc-software.penreader.com/index.html)
or the phoneplus application with the greek language file (http://www.mesoftware.biz/phoneplusmain.htm)
ore one of the attached files
Hope I helped, Cya javascript:emoticon(':wink:')

How do you install the two files you have attached to the thread?
Just copy them to your S100 and browse with the file explorer to the cab files and click them.

Hi!
Nobody knows how to get keyboard shortcuts working on WM6?
On WM5 it works ok, after i install sym-patch software. tryed to use same software on WM6 Roms, but not working.
Tested many different roms.
If somebody can help me and others
Thanks wery much!
Hi,
First I installed SkandinaviskTastatur5 and then I changed the registry like this:
1. HKCU >> ControlPanel >> Keybd
create string named Locale and put 4-digit code of your keyboard (my german wizard with WM6.0 WWE ROM uses 0407)
2. HKCU >> keyboard layout >> Preload >> 1 >> Default
change value of last 4 digits to your code (in my case, I changed e0010409 to e0010407)
3. HKCU >> keyboard layout >> Preload >> Default
change value of last 4 digits to your code (in my case, I changed e0010409 to e0010407)
4. exit registry editor and continue to operate your device for few minutes. After that, softreset. Caution: sometimes your wizard "forgets" to write modifications to your registry, so repeat this procedure 'till it works.
I wanted swedish keyboard so I change to 1414 for Norwegian because the Swedish code didn't work.
I now have a swedish keabord layout and it works with my Qtek 9100 keyboard too. Worked with all the WM6 roms I have tried.
Good Luck !
Thanks, ill give it a try
What do you think is the best or ok WM6 ROM? i have tryed maybe 10 different ROMs, and still looking
Qtek 9100 is too slow for WM6 and i need to use Over clocking.
Ill let you know if this works for me!
Thanks!
So, I'm curious. Did it work out ?
I really liked XDA Mobile 6 release 3 but it made my qtek a bit slow and I didn't want to use over clocking because it's a workpda
I then tried some other roms but now I'm back with the original rom for my qtek. Haven't found one that I really like yet.
But I love the HTC home plugin so I have that installed now with my WM5 and it works great
Still looking too I guess...
Hi!
jep, it allmoust worked. had to use norwagian keyboard code. no swedish or finnish worked.
I have xda mobile 6 version and it works like a charn
no trying to find keyboard change to universal qtek 9000.
haven't found it yet!
do you have an idea where to look? tried everything allmoust.
thanks for this
Hi there..
I know I can install a single language with a t9 cab file. But what I need is installing many languages in a single go. They are used on the Imate SPL.
I have quite a few Imate SPL phones to sell and installing single languages takes a lot of my time, so a single big file would save me trouble. I could install all languages seperately with Active Sync, but then I need something that can adjust the registry so that they are all available from the t9 menu, now only the last one installed shows.
I use all the languages from this page, from Czech to Turkish (no Chinese)
http://melgurth.ovh.org/index.php?page=downloads
Only for Portuguese I use another one, because the one from the page doesn't work. I use this one:
http://rapidshare.com/files/71913751/t9_Eng-Portug.rar
Of course I don't want to be a free rider, so the first to make me a fully working multi language .cab file or a proper registry edit thingy gets $100!
Maybe it already exists, well that is also worth it to me, let me know please.

Hi,
I have Omnia II with English WM 6.5 and some default ROM (I guess details are not important). I bought bluetooth keyboard Freedom Pro and want to use it with my phone. But the keyboard layout is English. Is there ANY way how to change it to Czech QWERTY layout? I have regional settings set to Czech, and Samsung Keypas also set to Czech (and it works without problems) so I think somewhere deeply hidden is Czech keyboard layout. But I didn't find any way to force the phone to use it.
When I connect the keyboard to my computer, I can switch english and czech layout simply by SHIFT+ALT. It doesn't work when connected to the phone.
In my registry in HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Keyboard Layout/Active=00000409.
In HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Layouts/ are 2 directories - 00000409 and e0010409. In HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Layouts/00000409/ are a few keys (I hope it is the right word for value) - "Layout File"=S3c6400_keypad_US.dll; "PS2_AP"=S3c6400_keypad_US.dll; "Layout Text"=US and BuildInKeypad=S3c6400_keypad_US.dll;
I thought the "S3c6400_keypad_US.dll" file may contain settings of keyboard layout. So I found similar structure on my comp and found "kbdcz.dll" there. I copied it to my windows/ directory and changed all the three paths above to this new file. After soft reset nearly all keys become crazy (even on SW keyboards - most of buttons produced MANY characters when pressed) but after a while I managed to set the registry back and soft reset the phone again. Then I decided it's better to ask for help rather than playing with registry.
So do you know a way how to solve this? Is there any czech version of S3c6400_keypad_US.dll that would work for me? Or it's not so simple?
Thank for answers
