Problem with Touch Keyboard & Keypad

Hello folks,
I have installed the HTC Touch Keyboard & Keypad (from Duttys CAB repository) on my Kaiser. It has the standard german HTC ROM. The device has not been flashed or otherwise modified.
However, I can not input anything with the Touch Keyboard or Keypad. They do not accept any input, not even the touch of the screen is registered. Nothing! The standard WM6 keyboard works just fine.
What could that be?

Could it be that the Touch Keyboard and -pad only work properly on English ROMs? I have a german ROM after all.
Any thoughts on this?

I noticed that this happens once I select a different language from English.
Probably the dictionaries are not available.

OK, can I somehow get the Touch keyboard to work? Can I disable the dictionaries somehow? I would really like to test the touch keyboard...
Or can someone provide a german CAB file?

Thanks, but unfortunately that does NOT describe the problem I have. The guy there can not change to any other 3rd party input methods. I can do this.
I can select the Touch KB and KP as default input method. I can also open it with no problem. I just can not input anything using the Touch Keyboard or Touch Keypad!
I suspect this is due to the ROM version. I have a german ROM, the Touch KB seems to be a english (?) version.
Does someone have a german version I could try?
Or other ideas? I am open for pretty much any advice!

OK, I have my answer.
I have set up two emulated WM6 Professional, one German, one English.
--> In the German ROM I experience the problems described above.
--> In the ENglish ROM everything works just fine. The Heyboard behaves as expected.
=====> Therefore, the HTC Touch Keyboard found in Duttys CAB repository does NOT work with non-english ROMs.
Can someone cook a CAB that works with german ROMS?

I encountered exactly the same problem on a HTC Kaiser with German ROM - inputs work fine while having selected english, while selection of german doesn't give any reaction at all while typing. Interestingly, number input DOES work even "in german", thus I also suppose it must have to do with the english CAB version.
Therefore I'd also be glad to see some solution to this problem.
Thanx!

Hi! Does anybody have a solution to this problem jet?

It does not seem so.
I have "solved" the keyboard problem unconventionally: I have sold the Kaiser. Now I am waiting for a Touch Cruise from amazon.de

Thanks for the quick reply! Have fun with your Touch Cruise!!

Keyboard Layout WM6.1

Hi there!
I have installed WM6.1 (english), wich supports the qwerty keyboard (software) , but i have the qwertz keyboard (hardware).
i tried all methods to get this changed (registry, cabs and so on...) but nothing worked on wm 6.1 (changes in registry worked in wm 6.0)
can anybody help me please??? i'm searching since 1 week in the forum, but didn't find anything that helped me... perhaps i'm too dumb...
thanks

Hello! We have already a fresh german thread. Have a look at this, i think you will find what you a looking for.

Would this work ? Language issue.

Hi all,
I am still using my old universal, a device which is with me already 3 years now.
It is used with WM5 and I am using the Resco Keyboard to have Cyrillic next to my Latin keyboard.
Would I be able to buy a Raphael with WM6 and an English ROM and then install the old Resco Keyboard Software on there to get my Cyricllic ?
I could buy the device in Russia, means I get even a double character set on the keyboard. Perfect would be if I could use the keyboard for both languages in my mails.
What I do not want is the OS to be in Russian, that's why the usual firmware is not an option. I understood from the HTC hotline that changing the OS language normally is not possible, as it was impossible with my Universal.
Anybody have experience with WM5 software from Resco on this WM6 device ?
Best regards,
Ruud

So many of You are here, is there nobody You can help answer the question, PLEASE.

Keyboard problem!

Hi!
I installed "HyperDragon IV IOLITE CE OS 5.2.20765 Build 20765.1.4.4" on my Kaiser and the phone has a Swedish keyboard. I tried to find a tutorial how to get the Swedish key board both on the screen and on the "hardware keyboard".
(I probably suck on finding it)
I would be grateful if some one could help me true the steps.

could someone paste a link or help me?

getting the keyboard on the screen is easy since some SIPs have swedish built into them.
you can try TouchPal, Resco Keyboard, SPB Keyboard.. maybe there's a Diamond or Opal swedish keyboard in the forum.. just search
about your hardware keyboard.. i'm not completely sure it's even possible to use it with sweedish unless the SIP supports it.

Ok, thanks!
If there's any body who knows how to get the swedish harware keyboard to work, please reply =)

[Q] External bluetooth keyboard has English layout. How to change it to German?

Hi,
This weekend I bought a HTC Flyer and I'm so happy. There is one thing though that's killing me...
I also bought a Bluetooth keyboard so I can write faster when I write large texts etc. The thing is though that I can't change the keyboard layout to German (even if the Keyboard has a physical layout of German, the software keyboard layout is still English).
I can't find anything under the "Languages and Keyboard" settings so I'm currently a bit desperate.
How can I get my German configured android system to understand to use a "Germany layout keyboard" and not a "English layout"?
I really hope that someone can support me here...
Thanks
Hirrsson
PS: Please consider that I'm really a android newbie so I don't understand all the terms etc yet....

hello there to everyone
as this is my first post on this forum, i'd like to take this line to thank all of you whom share information, knowledge, and whatnot to all others: Thank You.
posting here to request the same informtion: pairing an external bluetooth keyboard forces said keyboard to be in english layout, whatever the keyboard. (in my case: french).
In locale the bluetooth keyboard does appears, offering Three settings, but none regarding layout.
I personaly see this as a feature that is lacking due to the fact that the os is intended to be primarily used via touchscreen keyboard; but i also think this feature is needed big time. now heading to official android feature request to see if it has been added to newer versions (am runing 2.3) and if not, request it.

I did this for my Stowaway Keyboard. It is a lot of work, you need root on your device, rootexplorer and Hexeditor.
I can guide you through if you wish.
Which phone? Which keyboard? What has to be changed? öäü? y-z ???
