As I'm not from an English speaking country I have a problem that might also be interesting to such that are. I use Farias final crossbow rom on my wizard.
I would like to enable the Sym key on my keyboard so I can access special characters without the on screen keyboard. I have found some general notes about it here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/03/27/562162.aspx
There I have even learned how to change the order the symbols appear when hitting the sym key. sym.txt in windows folder.
However a friend and I don't manage to get the Sym key to work. It doesn't do anything. I have changed keyboard layout from 0409 to 0407 (German). Does it have anything to do with that? Is there a registry entry I need to change? Who can help me out here? Do your Sym keys work? I have not found one thread about this throughout XDA-dev.

i found this for wm5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283894
unfortunatley the fourth key does not exist in wm6. So how could this be done?
Also just set it back to 0409 and the sym key does work then. But thats no option as all other symbols and zy are messed up then.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale=0407
HKCU\keyboard layout\Preload\Default=e0010407
HKCU\keyboard layout\Preload\1\Default=e0010407
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty\Layout=0x20407
Ok i just created the 4th key and tried it with the others on 07 or 09 but doesent change anything.
Ok. Thanks to ppc-welt.de I found out how it works.
Only the Locale string should be changed to 0407 all other keys are left as they are in standard english. Voilà it works with Sym-Key.
Hallo,
I can use keys Sym+Space on Kaiser for national characters like ěščřžýáí, which I edit in file sym.0409.txt.
This file is in /windows directory on Raphael too, but how can I use it? I cannot write nationals chars on hardware keyboard...
Advice me, please.
Hi. Use MyMobiler to type using your computer and modify that file.
I have modified sym.0409.txt and it was copy to /windows directory. It is ok.
But my problem is, that I cannot type national chars on hw keyboard, because I do not how... :c)
Still no solution? :c/
No answer, but more questions. Would it be possible to change the layout? Would one be able to do that with a simple hex editor applied to a dll file?
I have same question as nethopper. It will be great, if we can type our national chars on the hardware keyboard (via FN key), beause previous sollutions, which works fine on Universal or TyTN II don´t work on Touch Pro :-(
I've often wondered if we could do like on a PC and hold down the Alt key and type the ASCII code
German Umlauts like ä ö ü can also not be used with the hardware keyboard.
If someone knows a way... Let me know
I wonder why they dont use the -regular character - point - space - thing anymore...
Right now I use T9 to get the Umlauts when writing sms/emails but in normal programms like the contacs you cannot use T9 so I have to use a softwarekeyboard (Touchpal)....
German layout is easy to set up.
\\HKLM\HARDWARE\DEFVICEMAP\KYEBD\CurLang
Value 1033 - English - It is default.
Value 1031 - German - I tried it. It is realy german keyboard layout. I use this settings on my Kaiser, because I neet to use QWERTZ.
Value 1029 - Czech - In device si missing kyeboard map definition. Grrr...
For example, other values are here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/229690
But you need to try it.
I've changed the layout to my liking with AE Keyboard Mapper from http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
Hello,
My problem is that I want to use Cyrillic virtual keyboard, but I do not know where to make the necessary changes. Reviewed sym.0409.txt, but did not understand what to change.
Thanks for the help.

This works an a Kaiser, Hermes and so on..
But the Keyboard on the Raphael is different.
All key are mapped differently
and the old method to get Umlauts dont work anymore...
For Example -> A + FN + Space = T9 Settings...

It's really a big problem. Why did they change it? T9 is good for tel. keyboard not for full hardware one.

Folks,
the truth is out there ;-)
In the wiki there is a page that explains all:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...Mobile Smartphone Internationalization Issues
To make it short (using german umlaute as example):
- copy \windows\eT9.Raphael.wwe.kmap.txt to your pc
- rename the file to eT9.Raphael.de.kmap.txt
- open with you favorite text editor
- look for the following lines:
{U U U U U 0x06}
{O O O O O 0x08}
{A A A A A 0x0a}
Change them to:
{U U U Ü U 0x06}
{O O O Ö O 0x08}
{A A A Ä A 0x0a}
- Save the file as UNICODE Text (Attention: this one is important!!!)
- Copy it over to your device
- Open a regestry editor and navigate to:
HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFiles (no typo here, Layou not Layout!)
Edit the value of aterisk key from eT9.Raphael.wwe.kmap.txt to eT9.Raphael.de.kmap.txt
- close registry editor
- open notepad or sms or whatever
- switch to landscape by sliding out the keyboard
- to get german umlaute (or your own changes) simply press FN + key (u,a,o, or whatever you changed in the above file)
enjoy

The mentioned wiki page is a bit too long to read. Could you explain that why you changed exactly the 4th character in each array?
I mean what happens when there are more speacial vowels in a language.
Is it enough to replace 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.. with the ones I want to use, then it'll appear in order when I push Fn + key more then once, or it has to be done in a different way?

It's explained in the file itself:
// Format:
// {VK VK1 VK2 CH1 CH2}
// VK -> value from keyboard driver
// VK1 -> key mapped, interpret by IME
// VK2 -> key to interpret when for press and hold
// CH1 -> symbols produced by Fn + key
// CH2 -> symbols in 123 mode
// CH4 -> Key Index
Under normal circumstances the eT9DeadKeys.txt will be used when pressing FN + SPACE. Raphael opens (as we all know) the T9 Menu when using this key combo. This is also defined in the above file:
{0xEA 0x12 0x00 0x00 0x00 0xff} // T9 Menu - 0x12
Maybe if you comment this line out it will use the deadkey-mapping. Just give it a try and report back.
cheers

I just tried that, didn't work...
c0rnholio, you are the man! This works like a charm! Took me 5 minutes to put the Ä Ö and Ü in the file and now my TP can do the Umlaute, in T9 as well as in ABC (no other changes, just as in the original post #15). Many thanks!

So this means that if a language has more special vowels in it (say 3), than this will not help.
Hi there
any one got solution for working htc keyboard?
Ive installed files from xda, (main keyboards, language pack)
but after instalation only normal keyboard is working quite ok , in others (including samsung ones) i can only het numbers.
I was trying to make something with it, but failed (i ve made hard reset and installed it on a "clean" system but it was the same)
I was trying polish lang pack (changing ezinput.dll.mui.0409 to .mui.0415 etc) searchung in registry etc,, but nothing changed, i am fighting with it 3hours wright now smile.gif
tommorow i need to check something like that :
EDITED:
Still cannot make it work sad.gif
Be sure that HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0 - if not, change it.
Change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409:
Value of Ime File from \windows\xt9ime.dllto \windows\compime.dll
Value of Layout Text from XT9 IME to COMP IME
but maybe someone got any good solution for this problem? i really like the htc compact keyboard (double letter)
i tried:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392197
and the result is the same. think that it is a problem with polish language on omnia or something like that (people with 0409 got this keyb workig, i with 0415 got problems , still dont now why it is thesame for all keyboards even samsungs ones
Have you try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455769
that was only cab that I could install and had no problems with just numbers typing
hello,
does anybody know how to assign special characters to hardware keyboard button? for example I like to write the ñ with the function button + n instead of using the symbol-feature.
thanks

hi,
has nobody an idea?
Florian
Answer from HTC/German Rom on a english device?
Ok, due to the fact that nobody had an idea, i wrote to htc.
On the one hand they wrote that it's not possible to assign the caracter to the keyboard. But - on the other hand - I think there should be a solution. 'Cause for example to the 'o' the german letter 'ö' ist assigned, so there should be a possibility. I can't believe that that's impossible. Or is it really programmed in the hardware?
What happens to a english device if you flash it with an german rom? Do you have the special characters of the german alphabet on the keyboard that you can use? Or is it still the english layout then?
Maybe I should write in a Microsoft forum???? What do you think?

Hi!
I have a T-Mobile Vario IV and I have set it to German, but my Ä, Ö, Ü, ß, Pound, Euro don't work. All the others like the ones on 1 to = or ', ; , : work.
Can anybody help me?

Hi,
There is a file in windows directory: eT9.Raphael.wwe.kmap.txt
The file is nicely commented.
Fourth character in the block decsribes Fn behaviour of a key.
For example:
{U U U Ü U 0x06}
makes Fn-U to type Ü
Indrek
Hi and thx,
but I think it's the eT9DeadKeys.txt, but i can't edit it, cause its write protected. How can I edit?
Florian
eT9.Raphael.wwe.kmap.txt did the trick for me.
I used Total Commander to:
- go to Windows\eT9.Raphael.wwe.kmap.txt
- tap and hold on the file and select Properties
- clear Read only and System (two taps on the check box to clear)
- copied to Storage Card and then to my computer
- edited and saved back to Storage card
- copied to Windows directory
- restarted the phone
Maybe you can edit it directly on the phone after removing "read only", but the procedure above worked for me.
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 ...
