First : hello everybody
I've been lurking around here for a long time without taking the time to register..
My primary phone is a nexus1 running CM7, but I recently bought, for work purposes, an Azerty HTC chacha because of its well-made hardware keyboard
I quickly decided to S-OFF it, mainly to be able to root it and remove memory-exhausting bloatware & unneeded apps such facebook etc..
So i got an XTC clip and S-OFFed it successfully, then flashed CWM following the adequate thread, then rooted it.
But I soon realized that the XTC clip had also set my CID to 11111111 (superCID) (previously : HTC__203 which is a French CID) and removed backupCID.
And from that moment, I've completely lost my azerty keyboard!
What I tried so far:
- pressing FN key + space bar and selecting French -> still on qwerty
- getting keyboard layout files / edit manually in /system/usr/.. -> didn't work (still qwerty layout),
- tried changing the CID with "fastboot oem writecid HTC__203" -> chacha fastboot seems to be unable to do that
- tried changing the CID with misc_version (misc_version -c HTC__203 from adb shell or terminal emulator with root permissions) -> didn't work ("error on input file")
I also tried to flash CM 7.1 from the "android developpement" thread but I still got qwerty layout although I selected a French layout on the CM welcome screen.
(I then reflashed to this ROM to come back on a sense ROM)
So, for the moment, my physical-Azerty-but-logical-qwerty chacha is quiete broken for me. I think the point is to succeed in changing back the CID from 11111111 to the french one (HTC__203), but I'm short of solutions so I call for help
Thanks a lot
Hello,
I finally managed to get my azerty keyboard back, thanks to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182776&page=2
In case someone needs some precisions:
I took "clavier_azerty_chacha_s-off.zip" from geek78 (huge thanks), extracted it and put the 2 files in /system/usr/keychars and /system/usr/keylayout.
Then I made a chmod 644 (that I had forgeotten before ) , and after reboot, azerty is back
My main problem is now solved
But I'm still stuck on SuperCID so I probably will miss next OTAs and still have problems the day when I need to flash some-coming alternative ROMs such a future stable CM.
Do some of you know a way to restore back the french CID other than "misc_version -c XXX" or "fastboot oem writecid" methods?
hello,
I have the same problem than you, riorim.
I wonder how did you made "chmod 644" and where ? Did you used "rootexplorer" and can you explain me the whole process ?
Thanks a lot.
Hello,
- open root explorer
- change permission on the 2 files on rw-r--r-- (read/write for user, read only for group and others*)
- reboot and the job should be done
(*in the Unix world that means 644. 4=r, 2=w, 1=x. so 6=4+2=rw, and so on)
Hello,
It worked very well so a big thanks tou you riorim, it has been one week I'm on it... :s

Well, i've flashed the X50v and HTC Touch Elfin before, however I seem to be having some problems with the Wizard. I'm trying different ROMS and none seem to be working. Once a flash appeared to go through correctly, and the splash screen at startup was changed, but it still booted into WM5.
Now even though it is CID unlocked, it says that the RUU is out of date and won't update the phone.
IPL is 2.21.0001
SPL is 2.21.0001
have you downloaded and flashed with Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 first if not then do. using the SoftSPL-V0.1 just extract then copy over the nk.nbf file after which do the same for the wm6 rom you wish to use. i advice using the TNT.20273_Professional_Wizard_HTC_Home_FREE rom or the TNT.20273 Professional Wizard rom. either are good roms.
i have the same phone and it worked a treat

How do you confirm its CID unlocked,as G4 device cannot be CID unlocked and with its present IPL/SPL it isn't even HardSPL ?
A G4 phone can only be upgraded to wm6,either through SoftSPL or HardSPL,you can read about them in the G4 sub forum posted as stickies.
Thanks for the help guys, for some reason the hardSPL wasn't working, but now I have 6.1 on my phone! I have another problem, however which I'm going to create another thread for later today, here it is if anyone see's this:
Since upgrading to Winmo6.1, my keyboard layout has been broken. I have an O2XDA MiniS, so it's a UK phone.
Here's the layout I should get:
QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL (Del)
(cap)ZXCVBNM(up)(Enter)
(Dot)(Tab)(Windows)(Ok)(Space)(period)(left)(down)(Right)
And with dot-shift (Don't know the actual term)
1234567890
[email protected]#$%&*() (Del)
(cap) - _ € £ + = ; : (enter)
(dot) ~ (Win) " (sym what does this do?) , ' / ?
This is what I Get
QWERTY is exactly the same, its the symbols with Dot-Shift that have changed
123456790
[email protected]#$%&() (del)
(cap) ` -_+ = * ; : (Enter)
(dot) (Tab[Should be ~]) (win) " , ' / ?
I have tried the Et9 cab file which didn't seem to do anything, let alone work.
There was a post I saw which had a link to a rapidshare file which has now expired.
Some people have tried registry settings, that hasn't worked for me.
I've spent the last hour searching, this keyboard means a lot to me.
I bought this phone for my girlfriend but ended up keeping it since I love the keyboard, sometimes do Python scripting on the go, editing word docs + email browsing is easier. So she now has my Touch Elfin (which is newer)
So yeah, i'll pretty much copy + Paste that into a new topic if this doesn't get any replies by say 8PM GMT?
I don't really like making hundreds of new topics for every little problem I Have. Otherwise there'd be one for Opera + Hardware buttons (Plus the internet button on HTC home screen)
one for it not staying in landscape mode when the keyboard is down, and one for my myriad of MiniSD card troubles
sorry forgot about this issue about the keyboard its simple to put it back to uk even if its a pain.
step 1 open regedit
step 2 open HKEY_CURRENT_USER
step 3 open ControlPanel
step 4 open Keybd
step 5 select Locale and change it from 0409 to 0809
and now everything should be in the right place
anything else feel free to ask
The problem with using the G1 for polish-speaking person is that the keyboard doesn't support polish letters (even holding keys for additional letters doesn't contain polish letters), making sometimes impossible to understand when sending sms messages, impossible to login on sites with login/pass containing polish letters etc. There is a workaround, you have to copy the needed letter from a app (virtual keyboards that copy letter to clipboard) or somewhere else and paste it, but imagine how problematic it can be.
I ask you for help in creating the polish keyboard for the G1, it will help the whole polish android community, I will share it if it will be possible to create the polish keyboard on polish android forums, sites etc.
I don't mind using my phone with english language but the pl keyboard has to be created for communicating and using the phone in Poland/polish language.
I don't know if it is possible to use the right alt as a modifier for obtaining polish letters like in the polish layout on a qwerty keyboard (right alt+a=ą, etc.) but if it can be done here are a few informations about the pl keyboard (windows: polish-programmers) Polish keyboard layout on wikipedia.
This thread (if solved) can be helpful for other non english-speaking G1 users in europe, we just need to post here the exact info about creating custom key layouts.
polish letters: ą(right alt+a), ć(right alt+c), ę(right alt+e), ł(right alt+l), ń(right alt+n), ó(right alt+o), ś(right alt+s), ź(right alt+x), ż(right alt+z)
Thanks in advance.
I don't know what changes virtual keyboards bring to the game, but I have asked a similar question about the hardware keyboard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478248 and got 0 answers. I have search other forums and basically it just does not seem to be as easy as editing single file.
Anyway, I'll follow this thread. I'd like to see Lithuanian characters. A lot of them are similar to Polish ones (ą, ž, etc.)
This should be some help. This quote is taken from a thread about someone with a French phone needing to change the key mapping of the hardware keyboard because the French layout is AZERTY, and after rooting, it's mapped as QWERTY. In the thread, they found a solution by rooting the phone without loosing the French firmware. (but that's not the point) After they were rooted they started changing the key mapping to include the " and ' symbols which are not on a AZERTY keyboard. So someone out there knows how to change the hardware key mapping.

Hello Arisme,
Thanks for your inspiring comment!
I dumped my phone with nandroid and modified the boot.img version so that the file default.prop enables root (taken from JF's modified boot.img file).
I managed to boot with it without any issue (./fastboot boot boot.img). I am attaching my boot.img file if that can be useful to others.
Update: I edited the keyboard file to include the ' key. I have mapped it to ALT+O.
To install :
1) extract keypad-fr.zip and copy trout-keypad-v3-franch-azerty.kcm.bin to your sdcard
2) boot as root using the boot image, adb shell to the phone,
3) switch the Filesystem to Writtable : mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
4) execute : cat /sdcard/trout-keypad-v3-franch-azerty.kcm.bin > /system/usr/keychars/trout-keypad-v3-franch-azerty.kcm.bin
5) perform regular reboot
enjoy!
In order to maintain a root access without the need to reboot on the modified boot.img I read it's possible to create a root access shell
Running rooted-boot.img :
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/bin
cat sh > suroot
chmod 4755 suroot
Then anytime you want to connect, type suroot and to go even further type adbd. The adp dameon is waiting for you!

I've Just flashed the Haykuro's ADP1.5Hr1-A2SD firmware, and when I long pressed a few letters I've just realised that in the pop-up I found polish letters! Also other "special characters" are there that on the previous versions weren't there. I don't know if all the Lithuanian letters are there, but the "ą" (also Polish), and "ž" are available for sure.
Still it isn't right alt+a=ą..., but better this than nothing, if anyone would have an idea how to make it work I would appreciate any help.
Haykuro's firmware versions:
ADP1.5Hr1: http://sharebee.com/72cefebd (sha1: 44eacf11c2f3eef5c64d40c894047c4197d06dc6)
ADP1.5Hr1-A2SD: http://sharebee.com/9f0fd1b1 (sha1: 0a065a9cef188226fd35d36f8d3f345f8545cbc6)
Also, you shouldn't forget that on Android 1.5 (cupcake), the virtual keyboards are installable .apk files. The simplest way would probably be to get your hands on the source code for one of the virtual keyboards.
EDIT: The previous post was posted while I was typing. LOL. Better for you.

Yeah, I know that some of the characters were in there, but they're gone in official ADP 1.5. And no, not all Lithuanian characters are available. Probably because G1 is not even officially available in Lithuania where as it is in Poland.
Hi,
i have added such Polish programmer keyboard to the market, details in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3778319#post3778319

If you are still looking for Lithuanian keyboard with right Alt support I can add Lithuanian mode (hardware keyboard Right Alt + 1,2... and screen keyboard to do right think fr longpress on letter keys r something like that) so you can download and make sure it works for you.
Hello to everyone.
Please forgive me if you think that I'm not posting in the correct forum, but I think that posting in the general Sapphire forum would be more irrelevant.
I'm using Cyanogen's 4.0.4 ROM and I'm totally satisfied with it. I think he (with the help of many others) has done a great job, keep up the good work guys!
My only problem (and believe me it's a big problem for me) is that the HTC keyboard supports only the english language. I have tried many ROMs and some of them had other language support, but unfortunatelly I had others problems and had to drop them. So here I am with Cyanogen's ROM which I would be totally satisfied with, if I could use the HTC keyboard with my native language (Greek for my case).
I have tried everything, uninstalling and reinstalling HTC_IME.apk, HTC_IME.odex and libt9.so from JACxHERO's ROM that works with my language, with no success at all.
I assume that a lot of people like the HTC keyboard like me and would like to use it with their native language. So, if there is a solution and anyone knows it, I would really appreciate it to know.
Thank you in advance and again, keep up the good work!!!
I'm interested on the same issue. That's the only reason I keep using Hero ROMs.
I'm interested to...
Is there a way to add spanish language and T9 languages to the magics??? Like spanish for example?
This is the exact same reason why I'm still looking for an OS for my G2. Tons of kudos to whoever can tell us some about this.
+1 for me.
instead of installing other languages i wanna remove the damned chinese language in my htc magic..please help!!
you can try the following
I'm no expert guys but here is the command that activates Russian language in HTC.ime. It worked fine for me and English stays as a second language for the keyboard.
cd to the Tools folder within SDK and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell "echo ru > /data/property/persist.sys.language"
[code]
Then reboot the device.
Obviously you need to replace "ru" in above code by your respective language short name. Like "gr" would stand for Greek language I would imagine.
rubbish: thanks for your suggestion... but it doesn't work for me as far as HTC Keyboard (HTC_IME.apk) is concerned. I have French Canadian set on my device (i.e. fr set in persist.sys.language and CA set in persist.sys.country) and still, only English appears in the HTC Keyboard configuration panel.
I took a look at this page on the Android localisation topic, but find nothing really helpful to solve the problem with HTC Keyboard: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/web/localizing-android-apps-draft?version=10
As far as I know, HTC_IME.apk was intended to be used on Hero only, not on Magic. Having used Hero ROM for a couple of weeks' I can confirm that you can select any available languages for use with the HTC keyboard. So is there anything else missing (apart from libt9.so) from the Hero system stack in order to have the complete languages list on Magic?
edit
.........
so no news =( ???
All right, let's try the following method although it's going to be trial and error, you'll see why. It will only work for HTC-based firmware I think (Hero ROMs should be OK). I'm on the different firmware at the moment (SPFrance) and it worked fine adding Russian as 2nd language to the HTC keyboard. The method described in my previous post was really for the system locale (although it was adding 2nd keyboard input as well just fine).
You'll need to pull a system file called "com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml" from the device. To do that enter the following command from within tools folder of your SDK folder:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml
[code]
This is one command, just copy and paste it. You should get the above mentioned file copied to your Tools folder. Then you need to edit it with Notepad. Now comes trial and error method. To add Russian you need to do the following:
Change: <string name="keyboard_language">0</string>
for: <string name="keyboard_language">6</string>
So it's a simple change of 1 figure (0 -> 6). The thing is I don't know (and couldn't find info) what figures are relevant for other languages. But there's no risk in trying, you can always push the original .xml file back to device. Try from 1 to 9 (missing 6 obviously unless you want Russian) and see how it turns out.
To push file back to device:
[code]
adb push com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml /data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml
[code]
This is again a single command. Reboot the device afterwards.
Good luck!

For spanish i could recommend an application called Better Keyboard, it is available though the market... it comes with english and spanish support... also has a language pack with some languages i don't remember ...
Great great tip Rubbish!!! I tried number 5 and I guessed portuguese right on first try! I was looking for this for months and couldn't find it anywhere.
Thanks again! You didn't save my life but will save me a lot of time typing

Yes, you should get it. I got Russian predictive and there's no reason for Spanish to work differently.
To all. If you succeeded with above method please post what number worked for your language. For now we know that 6 adds Russian and 5 - Portuguese.

To get English environment with (in my case) Czech prediction keyboard on 32A with CyanogenMod 4.0.4, I just set the phone locale to Czech (important step, doesn't work without it) using standard phone locale settings - which switches both the environment and predictive language to Czech (note that the keyboard preferences still only show English as the only visible language choice, but it's not actually selected - the list just doesn't show the other choices) then I change the /data/property/persist.sys.country file to contain CZ (that should really be capitalized) and reboot phone. Works like charm (tested on multiple wipes). You can of course do the exact opposite, too - have the keyboard language set to English and UI language to your preffered language.
Basically - the persist.sys.country file controls your regional locale (including keyboard prediction) - in uppercase characters - and the persist.sys.language file contains your UI messages locale - in lowercase characters.
Tryied it out with no succes... Everytime I change the number I got english again =(...
My phone is 100% english xD...
There should be another way to put it in spanish I think right????

This one's gonna suck.. You can't. You will have to flash back your stock rom, because that containts the appropriate keyboard layout in /system/usr/.
Unless you are S-OFF and have my cwm port installed, in that case please try

I have no idea, I don't own the phone. If it doesn't work, try renaming
Code:
/system/usr/keychars/
chacha-keypad-ger.kcm.bin -> chacha-keypad.kcm.bin
Code:
/system/usr/keychars/
chacha-keypad-ger.kl -> chacha-keypad.kl
now signed the update.zip, forgot to do that before
update.zip
That doesn't work for me, Z and Y are still switched.
And the button next to enter, (normaly "?" and with fn ":") doens't work at all.
How can i correct and reactivate them?
Edit:
I flashed back to stock ROM, but Z and Y are still switched, but all keys work again. the special-chars are still on the wrong place, and the umlauts(ä, ö, ü) are nowhere.
Does anyone have an idea, how i can get the standard-qwertz-layout back?
I have the same problem.

Need American HTC Status QWERTY layout, please
Hi! I have HTC Status (U.S. version) with stock ROM, with S-OFF and root. I have a similar problem with the keyboard after I rooted the phone (using instructions on this forum).
I have the following issues:
* alt+Y used to show @, now shows euro
* alt+P used to show ~, now shows @
* alt+. used to insert ".com", now goes to camera app
* alt+N used to show :, now shows "
* alt+B used to show ", now shows '
* alt+V used to show ', now shows lb symbol
Other similar discrepancies...
I think I have the UK English keyboard layout now, which is still QWERTY but the alt+ functions are off. I need QWERTY with American English keyboard layout that comes stock with HTC Status in the U.S. I have searched the forums but the only link I found to an English layout did not work (I copied the chacha-keypad.kl and chacha-keypad.kcm.bin provided in the post I found to /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars, respectively, but I still have the UK English layout).
Can someone please provide the keypad and key layout files for me to change it back to American English keyboard? And also the file(s) needed to change the alt+. command back to ".com" instead of going to the camera app?
Thanks so much!

* alt+N used to show :, now shows "

Can anyone help us please?
I have searched the forum, but either i'm searching for the wrong thing or I can't find anything.
Thanks in advanced
I have unlocked my chacha via HTCdev, rooted it and then flashed CM 7.2.0 from this link:

Then, i installed the greek keyboard (el keyboard) that i found in the above link. However, i cannot write in greek using the physical keyboard. If i try to switch between languages as i did with original rom (fn+space bar) it returns either www. or .com (depending on whether i use it at the begining or later). Can someone help me find a way to write in greek? Thanks a lot in advance
