Swedish characters on keyboard

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:

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

But I like the sulotion in the first post more

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)

Change of Hardwarekeyboardlayout on WM6

Hi all,
I've still tried to change the hw keyboard layout to german with the following tools...
- German Input (Crossbow).cab
- German Input for WM6 by ZakMcRofl.cab
- German Transcriber by ZakMcRofl.cab
- Hades German Language Pack for WM5 v1.3.cab
But nevertheless the Hardwarekeyboard never changed.
Does anybody have a suiteable idea how to change the settings in WM6 to use a german Hardwarekeyboard?
Kind Regards
Seppl

Hi Seppl
Install Registry Wizard and select Keyboard Language "German".
I selected "Norwegian" on my Qtek9100, and it works fine.
Best regards
Rosseha

I know what you need to do, but I haven't done it in a while, so I can just explain it to you. You need to go into the registry and find the key for the keyboard (if it is currently english, it will say 0409). Once you have found that, change it to the language for the keyboard you want.
For German layout (QWERTZ):
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0409 (String) (ORIGINAL)
Change to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0407 (String)
-Nstefanelli-

okay...
in HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\
are only the values
DefaultKeyLock 1
EnableIndicatior 1
InitialDelay 375
Muteswitch 1
RepeatRate 8
ShowWarningMsg 1
There is no string value Locale.
By the way, where can i get "Registry Wizard"

I have an Italian hardware keyboard and an English OS. I use AEKMap to remap the hardware keys. It work great! You can find the software at http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php with a lot of free remap files from users.
Remap files are here http://ae.inc.ru/aekmaplayout.php

Hi,
you have to create the key / value..
best regards

I've already created a new string.
Are you sure that it is a string value?
The Problem is I created it, rebooted (checked if the key is still there) but there is no change. When i press "Y" a "Z" appears ;(

XDA RegistryWizard
...it's a perfect solution!
it's simple, useful for tweaking registry and free
Tommaso

Where can i get the "RegistryWizard"

here u r!
RegistryWiz + Framework
hi!
tommy

Registry wizard
here you find it
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Upload/cabs/RegistryWizard_PPC.ARMV4.cab
That will work, I do it all the time!
Bye

Hey AEKMAP is great
I had a Swedish keyboard and made the Swedish file remap.
If any one needs more details will be happy to explain or to make any file for your keybs ;-)

Hello and thank you for the hint!
It works for me with all the standard keys, like 'Y' and 'Z' and the punctuations. There is one thing left open though: when I need to type a German 'Umlaut' I was used from WM5 to type the letter, let's say 'a' and then the 'Sym' key, and it was creating a 'ä'. Now when I'm doing this, it creates a 'à'.
Hope these characters make it to the posting correctly
Is there any additional hint on this?

in wm6 roms the sym.txt is named sym.0409.txt
so just rename a german sym.txt in sym.0409.txt
or take mine.
just use the hades german language pack and copy the sym.0409.txt to the windows folder.
steph

Thank you! Will try that ...
I have found another approach which I'm going to try.

How to Enable Cleartype in the Dopod C730?

Hi there,
----------------------
Well, after searching a little more on the Web I found it, and would like to share the method with you (since I couldn't find it here).
You need to create the ClearType key unde HKLM\System\GDI and under it create a new DWORD named Quality with a value of 4 (some sites say to use 1, I didn't try it). Reboot and voila, ClearType for you. It works under WM5 and WM6.
To disable it again just remove the ClearType key.
I Hope it helps.
----------------------
I managed to change the system font from the Nina (wich I don't like) to Segue UI, but I cannot find an option or registry key that allow me to enable Cleartype.
It works perfectly inside applications that manage this (mobipocket reader for example) but not in the User Interface and other applications.
Thanks agains,

hello there what app did you use to add the reg key? .. i tied using phm regedit and the resco regedit apps but none of them sees to allow me to add a new key to my registry .. thanks in advance

{Solved} Kaiser harware keyboard keys remapping

All keyboard layouts are hardcoded in keypad.dll.
Look any any hex editor at offset 0x1d8c0 (in current version of this dll, but can be easily found in newer released - see screenshot).
It contains national characters in unicode (like russian ones), FN+ combinations, etc.
Now you can map keys the way you like.
Hi! Does anybody know how to remap keys in english layout the way you like (for example, dvorak layout?) Also I would like to change some FN+key to my very own. I know there is AEKMap software, but I'm curiuos is it possible to make it editing some files (dll or configuration or registry) and flashing them with ROM (or just overwriting in \windows folder). The first and simplest task to start with I would like to remap FN+Q to print @ symbol (instead of !), and FN+W to print ! symbol (instead of @). Who knows how to do that?
p.s.: and what cwslayout=1 registry key is actually for? i've googled for "CWSLayout" and found nothing but links to our forum

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"CurLang"=dword:0000040c
"CWSLayout"=dword:00000000
this is for french vesion, so "CurLang"=dword:00000409 is for english, and "CurLang"=dword:00000804 is for CHS, OK, change it to what ever you want.

i'm not talking about layouts... I'm talking about mappings. imagine i want to make a dvorak mappings for wm. this is what i need to do... imagine i've opened my device, and changed all keys in hardware- so instead of qwertyuiop you will see poiuytrewq for example. and want WM also print correct characters as i made in my new hardware keyboard...

i'm going to take my first step into hex editing. can you recommend hex editor freeware and setup-free ?

I also have dutty's rom which is in English, but my Kaiser hardware was bought in HK, meaning the original OS was in Traditional Chinese. Whenever I type Fn+S, do not print _ , but print " , i want to fix it so that i type Fn+S Kaiser can print _, just like the keyboard shows.

im gonna take a stab at it and CWS probably stands for Cingular WirelesS... Even though its now att the CID is still CWS
SO, if you dont have an ATT tilt, then i would suggest either setting that string to 0, or deleting it!

I think that I have the same problem.
I am completly new to this, and I appreciate any help.
I live and work in China, and I just bought an HTC TYTN II (it is the Taiwan version) and some of the keys are different from my friend's Vodafone 1615. I am trying to figure out how to flash the phone into English, and it seems that when I will do that, that some of the keys will not do what is printed on the key itself. Can anyone tell me what to do? Is there a specific English Rom flash for my phone, or will I need to learn how to re-map the keys after I flash it to English, or should I just take the phone back (My phone is still brand new.) and trade it for the Vodafone 1615? I like the look of this TYTN II that I picked out better, but if I am going to have to put up with keys which don't match correctly, then I prefer to just trade it for the Vodafone.
Thanks for any help.

but it's just solved the problem of "FN+Q to print ! ...". I got FN+Q to print @ since I set CWSLayout to 0.

I had a similar problem, just that FN+Q would print @ and not ! even though ! was what was printed on the keyboard.
i didnt find a CWSLayout string so i made one and set it to 1 and now it finally shows up on the screen just like how its printed on the keyboard.

Hi, bringing up the old post, but it might shade some light for others with similar issues:
I have a QWERTY layout, but it appears that although "Y" was in its place - some of the "Fn+" characters were not:
Q W E R T Y
@ ! ? / # 1
As I see from the posts above - you guys has "!" mapped to "Q".
Now - on my Kaiser, although with English layout, the Function + characters are mapped differently. And you have the paramenter CWS set as 1?
I had it also, and I mistyped most of my Fn+ characters (Fn+Q = ! instead of = @ and so on...).
(thanks to you and these posts) I set CWSLayout=0, and did a soft reset.
Now - I have an @ in place of Q and all the other characters mapped according to my hardware keyboard.
Once again - thanks.
p.s. - I just wanted to "elaborate" a bit more for the guys with this issue so it could be more clear...

Make $100! I need a 20 languages t9 cab file

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.
