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 support for wm6 roms?

Hello,
I'm from switzerland, using a qtek 9000 with original wm5 Rom. I've tried several wm6 Roms yet, which all were fast and handy... the only reason to go back to my original rom, was the keyboard support (swiss german uses äöiü a lot) which simply wasn't there. I've tried tons of Registry hacks and all possible combinations of them, without success.. May it be possible, that the keyboard layout settings for swiss ger aren't even on these roms? Where are they stored? Since I've no experience on cooking roms, i dont know how to solve this problem. Any Idea?
(May it be, that the keybddr.dll has a influence on the keyboard-layout? how would i get this file from my old rom into the new one?)

I have an italian keyboard profile, after each ROM upgrade I usually change the registri key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty\Layout
Write down the value of you current ROM and set it after the upgrade.
This will solve your problem about the real keyboard (N.B. this change doesn't affect the soft keyboard, since I'm not interested in that one I never searched for a solution).
Marco.

Thanks for your help, but as i wrote in my first post, i tried a whole lot of registry keys (the one you mentioned now once again) without success.. I can get the original qwerty Layout to a qwertz, but the äöü.. are not to type as i can do in the original swiss german one (a+sym, u+sym usw). Any other ideas?

You need to edit \Windows\sym.txt (or sym.0409.txt or whichever one you use).
The file is simple text file and I am sure you will understand it's syntaxe when you see it.
This solution is for hardware keyboard only. It doesn't affect the onscreen keyboard.
btw. You can of course copy the one from your old ROM with working keyboard.

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.

Thanks in advance //AzAkiii
PS. I Searched for theese things all day, and i got no luck! thats why i am posting it!

You will brick your phone if you try and load a rom not made for your phone.
Try group sms for sending sms messages to mass groups of people.

thanks!
Then i wont to that for sure!
Still wondering about xt9 for swedish on my ipac 614c

search for GroupSMS 1.4.3 in the forum.
also, try going to www.cootek.com and check their forum for a swedish language pack for TouchPal 3.5...
nevermind... saved you the trouble.. this is the direct link to their forum to the swedish language pack post with the cab file.
you will have to BUY touchpal to use it.
http://www.cootek.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=516

I don't know about the xt9 you'll just have to try some different programs, you'l just have to find something compatible. This is an htc forum and thats what i'm familiar with, i don't know to much about ipaq's (hp) (much less a swedish version )

Tytn II p4550 swedish 6.5 rom
Hi I ment it there a swedish 6.5 rom for tytn II i cant get the hardware keyboard to work with the english once..?
i tryed to change in windows directory with total command but it dosn´t work..

Registry
You just need to change language keyboard layout in the registry.
change the registry value of HKLM>HARDWARE>DEVICEMAP>KEYBD>CurLang to 1044. Reboot then it´s fixed.

Try abusalza's [PDACorner] Ultimate-X2.V11 -23017|M2D|MOTO Home|CHome|Enhanced Version.
Just make sure you flash a stock WM6 rom first.
Swedish T9 soft keyboard etc is included in the ROM but you still have to fix the hardware keyboard. To do this I use a program called "Scandinavian KB".

Tytn II p4550 swedish 6.5 rom
Hi again i have tried what you suggested, but it dosnt semce to work.
i have
Radio 1.71.09.01
Romversion: Ultimate-x2v11 wwe
what am i doing wrong
i i dont care about the soft-keyboard, but i wont the hardware-keyboard in swedish.
cause the letters on the keys are placed wrong..
please!!!

I forgot to mention that you should set Scandinavian KB to Norwegian/Danish, not Swedish. I know this sounds backwards but I remember reading it somewhere* and have done so ever since. It works for me at least!
*Found the post. It's originally a guide for Touch Pro aka Raphael, which I had for a short period of time, but point 4 apply for the Kaiser as well.
