BOUNTY! HTC Touch Keyboard/Keypad .cab w/Norwegian

Hi
There's a couple different HTC Touch keyboard/keypad .cabs floating about, but so far none with full support for my own language (Norwegian). I am a total newb when it comes to making cabs, but since there's already cabs out there with other linguas I can hardly believe it will be very difficult to make a cab with a few spesific languages.
So, here's deal. I will paypal this awesome bounty of 15$ aka "beer money" (not much but I'm unemployed, broke, my fiancé of 8 years and I just decided we'll go separate ways AND I'm horribly bored ) to the person who can make a .cab that installs the HTC Touch keyboard/keypad + English and Norwegian xt9 (additional languages might be an idea, but moderation please if you're really feeling like making a killer cab, size matters too) and so forth and makes it work on a Kaiser.
I will of course expect this .cab to be offered to the public through these forums.
You can find the dumped? files here that's needed (or so I believe).
www.mindovermadness.org/HTC_KeyBoard_DualOEM_multi.rar
Also, the .cab on Duttys FTP with the HTC Touch Keyboard that should be possible to break down for paths etc.
http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/Kaiser Cab Collections/HTC Touch Keyboard + Keypad.cab
I hope someone will be so kind as to look into this and become my personal XDA hero. Also I am sorry if I somehow have misunderstood the concept of a bounty, offended anyone or offered a ridicilously low sum of money. I come from a land of ice and snow, my brain is numb and thats my excuse!
/Mac

I have tried to do fix that, I got a oem package with the norwegian files, even the scandinavian layout is in it.
But I have had no success, im no coder
But I upped the package, and if any guru will look into it, that would help alot

It must be pretty basic stuff, I figured I can make it work myself simply by some creative renaming and overwriting files on a previous install from one of the existing cabs, but its hardly viable when you flash your phone every week

Think I did it
I have managed to make an installable cab with english, danish, norwegian and swedish HTC Keyboard + Keypad layout, and with working xt9/t9 dictionaries. I have installed it on my own HTC Touch (P3450) and tested all four languages with success. When nordic languages are chosen, the keyboard (not keypad) have the nordic letters on them, so the bitmap files should be right as well.

Thank you If you want the bounty, pm me your paypal!

nice work, thx
one thing or two though
keypad dont display æøå but keyboard is workin perfectly
i dunno how to explain this correctly, but in textwriting æøå works (in keyboard) but when opening them ouside like in.ex programs folder, it show only english qwerty, any suggestions?
Many has been waiting for this, great work

I've discovered a number of bugs/glitches in this .cab, see the thread at
http://forum.smartmobil.no/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=9314&sid=20a938d71af92d67e43f1ac3be4242cb
Yet, should be "fixeable" I think.

if u install this over another version, it works better

Thanks a lot! I'm close to 100% on the keyboard issue.
Ok, this is what I've done:
Installed (in this order)
Scandanavian Keyboard.CAB
-Soft reset
Nordic Keypad Mapping.cab
-Soft reset
XDA_JCEspi2005_Norwegian_Input_Kaiser.cab
-Soft reset
Now the SIP keyboard layout are OK with æøå - working fine. I Had to install XDA_JCEspi2005_Norwegian_Input_Kaiser.cab to get my hardware keyboard right.
This issue remains: Word Completion is still in english. Any fix for that?
Also in Duttys newest ROM, the Touch Keyboard and Touch Keypad are without the Norwegian letters. Any cabs for this?

If you can go with the diamond keyboard try this

Thanks to you both!

My own favorites are: Tengo Keyboard or TongoThumb ; Touchpal ; Ezinput (free available here in this forum) try them out and decide for the best for you

you can also try Resco keyboard or SPB Keyboard

Hi Bulldog and nir36,
Thanks for your input.
But my question is for real qwerty keyboard input. All your suggested are virtual (soft) input method. They do not predict or auto correction key inputs.
Let me know if I am wrong.

Sorry but I am not sure what you mean now with "Real Querty keyboard input" Anyhow Yes all the kepboards name that we have mentioned are soft inputs and yes all of them have a prediction or suggestion of words. You can have also other languages. However most of them give you option to switch on or off those T9 kind options. The Best google for those Keybords and visit their web pages to get more info.

if you're looking for something to predict words using your HW keyboard you can use the original Diamond XT9 or Opal XT9 keyboards.. you can find them in the Development and Hacking section..

When you have numbers, than change to a other keyboard and write one or two words. after this, you change the keyboard again and it works.
If have the same problem with gullum Ez 1.5 keyboard. Now i have BJK Keyboard and german language pack and it works fine

[REQ] Editing HTC HD 2 Keyboard

Hi,
Just got my HTC HD 2. And i taken liking in original HTC HD 2 keyboard. Mainly because of inbuild vibration feedback. But there is that one annoying thing. And thats emoticons. I would love to write "=*" or "=)" faster. Now i have to go to characters, get to the second screen for "=" and return for "*". So, is there a way to configure keyboard layout to have this emoticon typed when i hold choosen key?
Ofc i could get another keyboard thats supports easy remaping with touchresponse enabler and set it to vibrate only at keyboard and set my new keyboard as default with another program. But thats not so effective.
TL;DR: Any idea where to edit default keyboard layout?
Edit: Now that i think about it, is there a setting to make first letter in a sentence Capitalized?

Is there no way? Then someone know keyboard which looks like original an is editable? Thanks in advance

I have no idea if you can edit the keyboard, but you should check out FingerKeyboard (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487677) its good looking, really accurate and has most of the standard emoticons on the regular layout.

Hi!
This keyboad can not to set disable T9 also!

Well I dont use T9 so I dont mind. And yes, Fingerkeyboard is nice one i tryed it already. But still couldnt edit to my favorite smileys. If I recall correctly, there was FingerKeyboard with indepth settings, but this 2.1 only has basic stuff. Gonna look at it again.
Still its kinda lame to have to use 3 programs to have default keyboard with emoticons xD

In my opinion, FKB is the worst replacement keyboard. The default keyboard would be perfect, if someone managed to remove the arrows so that you could have a bit bigger keys, and a row for numbers.
I applaud the dev for his time and blood, though.
Again, this is MY opinion. Agree or disagree, I don't really give a damn. That would be YOUR opinion.

I'm not sure about the FKB with HD2, as I will be only getting the HD2 next week! But with my experience of FKB with Touch HD, I completely disagree with you. FKB is the best ever keyboard app to me, it is a must for me for many reasons.
And to the poster, I'm really glad of you posting up a thread with a proper title with [REQ] suggesting what your post is about! If everyone follows this basic rule, how much better and enjoyable browsing the forum for all of us!

Well I am now testing REAL 2.1 version (I downloaded bad link and got 2.0 =/ that was silly of me) Now if i get nice theme which looks like standart then its all nice (Vibration seems to be implemented which is great).
And I totaly agree with precsmo. If people really did follow rules, it would be totaly awesome for others. And posting [REQ] before request was obvious after reading this forum for about 30s. Dunno why others dont do it this way, its better for everybody.
I played with FKB a bit and found out it to be sorta buggy with HTC HD 2 and not so good as default keyboard is =/ what a shame that HTC doesnt care about smileys =/

I disagree. Finger Keyboard is good and arrows in the default keyboard are great .

Swype
Have you tried "Swype"? It's an awesome keyboard..... try it - it should speed up your typing a lot

can anyone tell me how to swap the "£" for the "$" on the keyboard. $ is on the keyboard @ the moment but I have to search for the £ key.
thanks

Find a cab in sense tweak thread, as I remember. There is a cab for currency keyboard or so called, then u can have option to choose that £ symbol when holding $

Sorry for asking in this thread, but is it possible to get a swedish layout on the htc keyboard? always have to long-press a for å and ä, and long-press o for ö... quite anoying. and i really dont want to replace the standard keyboard on my new hd2.
thanks in advance.

[REQ] SlideIt keyboard skin?

I've been searching a long time but so far still no luck.
I love the SlideIt keyboard but it looks too much like the old windows mobile.
It would be great if someone could make a skin that looked/felt a bit
more like htc sense or the great dusk theme for Swype.

Moved as not theme release.
You could PM of some of the devs who are creating themes.

SlideIT new skin
Dasur answer my mail:
Currently we are making new skin for SlideIT keyboard
It will be available in our next new version !
Great Day
Dasur Team

I just noticed that SlideIT v2.01 is now in the Market and is sporting a newer spanglier skin, and has native res on my Nexus One.
I really like its correction banner better than Swype's pop-up.
I don't think SlideIT handles punctuation and symbols as well as Swype, but it is tough to choose between them (SlideIT's correction banner may just clinch it for me since overall it could enable me to input quicker ...)

Slidit not recognising mail contacts
I been using slidit for a week and Works great on my TP2, but noticed an issue, when sending mail it ignores the intuitive contact list that appears when you input the first letters of the name and brings up the contacts mail that match, I have to switch between the full cuerty and it works then back to slideit, not a big problem but annoying.
I’m including the SlidIT demo cab if anyone wants to try it
