Enjoy!
Fixed to remove predictiveness when using the hardware keyboard.
it works good, but its a little bit laggy..
I really like the simple qwerty keyboard without XT9. How do I keep this one? When I select a text area, it defaults to the 20 key pad with T9 and I don't like it.
any screenshots?
Good stuff TLR - works very nicely on my device. Cheers
When i switch to german the keyboard and pad are not working. couldt somebody make this version to support german language
Works great but I noticed that when using the 20 key keyboard the keys don't light up.
figured out the problem. the files L20-map_down.png and P20-map_down.png included in the posted cab are corrupt that's why the keys don't light up when you select them. In order to fix this problem, you have to download the OEM version of the keyboard and replace the files I listed above with the one located in the OEM version. Copy the files to the \windows directory and overwrite the corrupt files.
when installed, i can not use predefined symbols (ď, ť, č, š, í, ...) on hardware kbd (fn + spacer). any solution for fix?
I have the same problem. Help

National Lithuanian for standart HD2 keyboard (Ezinput) Full QWERTY Layout.
Cursor keys swaped (up, right etc..)
Cursor keys moved to left side of the keyboard
Vibro reduced to 1
National keys added (long press).
TAB key instead of XT9
Click volume reduced
No more need for FingerKeyboard or other if you do not demand much from the keyboard
Unistallable, so you can easily revert to original.
Haven't tested without policy disabled (unasigned apps). Perhaps you need to set this option with BsB Tweaks to install the cab.
v2.3 Landscape cursor keys on left side.
v3.1 Landscape cursor keys location something like on fingerkeyboard

It's not a problem to make better english version!!! If someone needs it is possible Just ask.
What I did - everything exept "national keys" are useful for everyone- lowered vibro, lowered sound, space moved to right, cursor key placed in first row. It is more comfortable for me.
I do not understand what the guys who made keyb were thinking about - in original layout space not reachable with right thumb, vibro too strong sound to loud - in 10 mins that things become anoying
And whats funny if i rotate screen 270 degrees - keyboard rotates also - but the keys that pop on press a not rotated, I mean they stay as on 90 degrees rotation layout ha ha ha
Why I'm telling that- on HD2 default layout would be more comfortable using 270 but not 90 as is .... Strange why cursor keys are on right side because that position is more comfortable to be on left..on 90 Try...
Is there anybody who can help/give me information about that damn HTC keyboard. I have some ideas but still didn't find out how to do (eg. how to make space of bigger width - where is the png that is used for space button ?)
Thanks in advance.
linuxis,
it's nice to see your work.
I'd like to know how did you make it, because I'd like to make something similar but I'd like to experiment a little ... and probably make a full Bulgarian layout.
What's required to accomplish this?
Updated to version 2.3 - cursor keys moved to left
I would be cool if you could make a keyboard with easy access to "æ, ø, å" for us danish users... I would seriously call you my god if you could pull that off

If you have a tool look inside the cab. Basically these files are modified.
0C09.xml
0D09.xml
1C00.xml
LQ_Bg.png
LQ_Bg_Inv.png
PQ_Bg.png
PQ_Bg_Inv.png
LQSym_Bg.png
LQSym_Bg_Inv.png
All layout is in xml files, they inside has links to the images.
By the images you can say what layout they represend.
LQ - Landscape
PQ - portrait
LQSym - numeric keyboard layout
xxx.xml xxx - code of the language you modify.
xml structure is very simple, just layout tag/ page tag (several pages eg in numeric layout)/ key tags with coordinates. You can find key by key ID, and change the key or the values on long key press.
I think that is enough to start.

I just need to know what symbols shoud be placed where and what layout is the best for the danish symbols because I do not know danish . I mean - first row-long press (like lithuanian layout) or "æ" on "a" longpress ? And the symbols also needed.

Has anyone made a Swedish keyboard?
i'd like a german layout with the € symbol at the e key, the arrows in landscape on the other side, disabled xt9 key and the rest standard would it be possible?
or could you share the base files so i can mod them myself ?
nice i managed to do the mods for myself, at least the mods with changing the keys!
but as i saw the layout editing isn't that hard either, just redo all coords and the png file
nice linuxis for your inspiration!
but i asked myself, if it is possible to do smiles on a long press function, as i understood the xml code, it's not that easy cause a normal <char> tag prints all the keys while a <LP_char> tag gives the option to choose ...
Thanks mate for a long awaited LT keyboard.

Hello! Colemak typist here.
Can you change the layout of the keyboard? I don't mind about the physical layout, just the software mapping. I have no idea how he keyboard is handled so could someone kindly work out if this is possible? And if Colemak is available?
Thanks!
Nobody with a keyboard who can quickly check this out for me?
If you don't get a reply shout me tonight and ill give it a go.
hmmmm. cant see anything that allows keyboard remapping in the settings.... which is a shame as my @ and " are not as per the layout ... which is odd .....
Could always try button remapper beta off the market. I don't know if it will work on the dock keyboard but I could remap some of the keys using a usb keyboard on my viewsonic g tab. Something to try at least.

One way to do it is go to this website to get a general idea about remapping. Then download the KeyTest.apk from the author.
When you start the app you can see which scancodes are created. Now go to /system/usr/keylayout (most likely requires root) and change the keyboard layout that is associated with your keyboard. If you don't know, download aLogCat from the market. When you connect a keyboard it will show up in the log. For special characters and shortcuts modify the appropriate keychar table in /system/usr/keychars.
Hope that helps. It worked on my XOOM for a generic BT keyboard that had lots of Apple keys.
Wonderful. Thankyou all for your helpful posts! Very glad to know there is a way to do this, even if it is not an official option.
Thanks again.

You need to change the software keyboard to the ASUS one in order to get correct layout on dock keyboard.
As a follow up post - I got a transformer with dock. Downgraded to 8.2.3.9, rooted and found the keyboard layout in /usr/xt9/keylayout/qwerty-en_GB.kl. I edited by hand (thankfully it's a lovely human readable text file) and now am enjoying colemak! Woot!
I might write a little how-to so that anyone can do it quickly and easily.
Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a HTC 7 Pro online, but when I received it, I found out that it was the German version, with the Z and the Y keys switched, compared to normal QWERTY keyboards. I am able to set the software keyboard to QWERTY, but no matter what language options I have selected, the hardware keyboard seems to follow the QWERTZ pattern. Is there any way to reset the hardware keyboard so that it follows the QWERTY pattern?
I would also like to know how to change this, I bought my HTC 7 Pro from "Media Markt" in Germany, and I have the same problem.
But I'm not sure if it's a good idea to do so, because even if I did change the Keyboard Layout from the software side, the hardware will still be QWERTZ, so what I press will not be what appears on the screen :S
BTW the differences between US QWERTY and German QWERTZ isn't just the Y and Z keys, other differences include:
( and ) are at 8 and 9 istead of 9 and 0
& is at 6 not 7
* is at 7 not 8
the semi-colon (drove me crazy when coding at the university there)
and a lot of other punctuation were moved away to other buttons to clear for the "umlauts" and stuff :S
Guys, I had the same problem, I bought QWERTZ device and I was frustrated.
I used the 7-day return policy of the reseller and returned the QWERTZ device.
Later I bought QWERTY device.
By the way this is valid for the QWERTY device too:
( and ) are at 8 and 9 istead of 9 and 0
& is at 6 not 7
* is at 7 not 8

I couldn't have bought another one, because I was in Germany and I don't think they have anything with a QWERTY keboard there :S
It's weird that eventhe QWERTY keyboard on the phone also had some of the symbols mixed up, because German PC Keyboards also had the brackets at a different place that the US PC Keyboards, so I thought that's a QWERTZ thing too, maybe your phone has a UK Keyboard layout?
edit: apparently also UK Keyboards have the ( and ) at 9 and 0, not at 8 and 9.
It's not about certain layout, there's just not enough space for all the buttons, That's why they are mixed and the layout is not like a PC keyboard.
Nevertheless, this smartphone has one of the best hardware keyboards in the smartphones world.
It's nice to know that my first Smartphone has the best Keyboard (I'm assuming that you don't consider the early Symbian S60 devices as smartphones )
Anyways back on topic, is there somebody who can replace my hardware keyboard with a QWERTY one, so then I can change it from the software side too (whether via a Registry hack, or installing another ROM), so that way I can have a keyboard that I can type on without having to look before typing any word that has a Y or a Z ? :S
I have this issue too. Any solution?
The solution is get used to it. I have a QWERTZ device purely because it's much cheaper for some reason. It's no big issue after 5 mins or so.
Zes, in using zour solution too ;-)

Hello everyone.
My goal is rather more difficult than yours (I try to replace original german layout with the russian one), however I found out something interesting:
In
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MTFKeyboardMappings
there are keys for different languages with the values of hardware and soft keyboard. In my case for all the languages the value of hardware keyboard is:
804c72d2-b3a3-4f96-a568-eb8775eb4b97
However, direct change of this entry with the value of the soft keyboard doesn't work.
Can anyone publish this value p.e. for QWERTY layout to check?
And any ideas about what does 804c72d2-b3a3-4f96-a568-eb8775eb4b97 refer to, I mean, is it link to the file or language code or whatever?
Sorry, if I discover something stupid, but I can't find any information about this area of registry.

Hi everybody. Same situation here. I would add, if this QWERTZ to QWERTY issue could be solved without any ROM installation (crazy? lazy?) I would be the happiest phoner for a while. Cheers.

See and try change "AccentTable" and "KeyTable" keys in path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MTFInputType\{804c72d2-b3a3-4f96-a568-eb8775eb4b97}"
I mean it is UTFxx unicode. May be somebody known TouchPro/TouchPro2 can help us to recognize buttons order in this key.
Hi,
with DFT rom v2/v3 no problem on HTC 7 pro, works perfect Y/Z and with my special characters (óőűá etc.)

Can you write more? Is necessary to edit registry keys manually in registry editor? What is your sequences for Y/Z changing? Or, is it possible only by any file changing/editing? M.

Do you understand it somebody? Can you explain?
KeyTable
It looks as four-bytes unicode sequences, ended by four-zeroes stop sequence. Do you know anybody more? Can you see in registry editor, if it is DFT ROM property only, or standard WP7 hardware keyboard feature? I mean keys replacing by first post can change full language keyboard to another, but changing z/y only must be realized by this long sequences analysing and changing.
Hi, i'm using now DFT V3 on HTC 7 pro QWERTZ version. (hungarian language) Character layout original, no need registry edit or other hack. HW keyboard works fine on hungarian setting. All characters and other symbols are OK. DFT V3 rom is perfect.

OK, you are happy. We (Czech people) have a problem - two usual keyboard layouts. Much people uses QWERTZ, but programmers and technicians uses usually QWERTY, which is not supported by WP7 Microsoft features. Then we must make any hack.
Hey, what kind of rom use you?

The same as you, DFT V3 on HTC 7 pro QWERTZ version.
I have bought a bt keyboard from maplin here in the UK.. And some of the keys aren't right.
I have seen a tutorial on how to do it the hex editing way.. But I am wondering if there is anything in the market?

Same problem here,
I bought an azerty bluetooth keyboard (I'm french of course) and it's in qwerty in Android.
I need to remap the keyboard and I tried to edit the qwerty.kl and it's work for some letters but I can't remap everything.
Does anyone know where can I find a solution or how can I remap everything ?
I've red the [HOWTO] topic in Xoom section but it doesn't work on the TP (gingerbread vs honeycomb).
Thanks !
I planned on trying to work on this after finals this week, but I am no expert so there is no guarantee that I will do it well or fast. I googled and found some decent how-to's so we will see how it goes.
Oh and I have searched and searched and have not found a keymapping app, though there was a keyboard (hackers keyboard I think) that stated that the would include that in a later update.
*edit, it was bluetooth keyboard easyconnect that is adding keymap support.
Thank you for your interest. I'm following you.

You should search for a qwerty.kcm.bin that has the french layout. It should work for any azerty.
For example from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3616778&postcount=178
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=173725&d=1239106569
Just use the azerty.kcm.bin and put it in /system/usr/keychars as qwerty.kcm.bin
Make a backup. You need to remount system as rw.
If that's work you can go and modify /system/usr/keylayout.kl to map custom buttons on the keyboard.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work...
BlueInput should support different keyboard layouts (http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid).

Hello,
I have make a patch for the touchpad Bluetooth AZERTY Keyboard
Install the zip file patch in Recovery Mode like a ROM.
French tutorial : goo.gl/uqypF
GoBZH
Thank you very much !!
It works very well
You can always make your own keylayout.kl and name it whatever your keyboard is named. I did this for my BT keyboard and it works well. Use this keytest app to find the key number for all the buttons, then go ahead and use the generic.kl and erase everything and start from scratch. It's not too hard, just follow the syntax and you're good to go.
Here's a link to all the possible key events too.

You need to be rooted....
You can change the key mapping using this app, but and you can also create some personal keyboard shortcuts ( which is what I do)
Hi guys.
I have a problem with my hardware keyboard.
I'm using CM 10 original, and i habe swype software keyboard.
However, when i use my awesome hardware keyboard, i dont get some of the characters, like "?" or ")" and much more, generally "alt characters" have problems working.

Make certain you are not applying ANY language selection to the keyboards in the settings. The Hardware keyboard is NOT a standard en-US keyboard, and those bindings break the special keys.

But since we can edit the keyboard's code, can't i just make it work with my language?
You can, but there's another method for that. Specifically, the one being discussed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314834
The keyboard settings application's applied layouts do not work for us.
I think that thread is dead, can you help me with enabling alt key?
I know how to edit system files etc. But I dont really know what to do exactly, and how to make the changes work.
