How to Edit the Dock Keyboard Layout on JB? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Is there already any methods to edit the standard keyboard layouts of the dock on JB? And if not yet, what can be done for it, and how can it be done?
I have purchased my TF300T hoping to create a new layout for my language using the solutions described here and here, but it came with 4.1 preinstalled, and it turned out that these solutions do not work with JB. Moreover, I know that currently I cannot go back from JB to ICS, so please help to understand how the layouts can be edited and modified.
I am pretty sure that if a solution cannot be found here in XDA Developers, it cannot be found anywhere )) Let's think about it a little in this thread, dear gurus, and find a way to fully "own" our tablets.
Please reply and keep this up, it is crucial for me to be able to make a keyboard layout for my language and be productive on-the-go; otherwise it is $400 spent for nothing ((
Thank you.
P.S. I will upoad here the (possible) layout files and paths, as soon as I have my tablet with me.

First, be careful with using threads relating to other tablets for things like rooting and such.
The only reason I find for having ICS was to gain root. Motochopper is popular on our tablet and appears to work for root on JB.
I am on JB also 10.4.2.20 and I find the keyboard mapping in a different directory than listed on your references.
/system/usr/xt9/databases/kdb is the location on my tablet.
Obviously I have no idea if this will work but you should now have enough to give it a try.
Good Luck!

Keyboard Asus P750 only numbers

Hello
I updated my Rom for my Asus P750, I quit happy about that but now the keyboard is useless.
If I want to write a sms I can only write with numbers and no letter, so I have to use a stylus, but this Asus has a Keyboard which is made to use if you don't want to use a stylus, but now the keyboard is only for numbers.
If there is somebody who can help me, please.
Thank you in advance
Is there nobody who can help me?
I would appriciate if somebody could
It seems that you have some missing drivers. Unfortunately, I do not own the device so I can't help you. Try to flash the older rom back in the device (which obviously had the drivers in it).
Moreover, please keep in mind that this site provides support for HTC phones only. While we are happy to help whenever we can, sometimes it is best to go directly to the manufacturer, especially if you cannot find too much information online.
Sorry I can't be of any more help...
Thank you for the info, I a sorry if I posted something wrong.
Appricate you trying to help

[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

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 ???

[Q] Keyboard international layouts

maybe the answer is here somewhere, but although I tried hard... I wasn't able to find a satisfactory answer.
I'm deciding to buy the TF, and my target is to use it instead of a laptop, for writing e-mails and processing text, etc.
However, being from Slovenia I'm not sure I'll be very happy with it as I understand there are problems with the dock keyboard layout which does not support slovenian specific characters.
Also, I suppose if I buy it now I'll get a newer version which can not be rooted atm so in this moment I could not remap the keys manually.
Or is there any other solution that you happy TF owners can share with me?
Which layouts are supported that can be used with the dock keyboard?

Multilinguage ICS advice

Hello guys. I was recently given a MT4G Slide to flash with any custom ROM (preferably ICS), with key criteria being stability and availability of various languages (not just keyboard, but change the whole OS). The phone will be used in Russia, therefore that's the language that needs to be added. I did look at most ROMS and no one really specifies which languages if any are in the ROM. I assume most slim ROMs don't have anything other then basic english/spanish. I wanted to ask if anyone with good stable ICS ROM can check if they have the Russian in the language selection menu. I understand it will be hard to come by as this is a US-only variant, but has hoping that many one of the cooks used stock google with multiple languages pre-installed.
Also, how hard would it be to remap the hardware keyboard or has anyone seen or knows where to purchase cyrilic keyboard for the device? Thanks for any info anyone can provide.

hate to be the negative nancy but this should be in the general section not the dev section
Blasphemous noob may the heavens rain down on thee with the vengeful hatred for that which we call ignorance and inability to follow forum rules!
The FBI has been alerted. Any second they will kick down your door and proceed to charge you with crimes that "you did not commit"
Yea we know, you're innocent.

Hi there!
I've already adopted the keyboard for russian locale. I'll provide you some instructions a bit later, when I'll be at my home computer. I use Russian Keyboard app with Virtuos Infinity beta1 mod, and I like it a lot - it supports custom layouts via xml, language toggle with sym button, and some other perks. Stay tuned
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using xda app-developers app
First of all, this is the wrong section for creating this kind of threads.
CyanogenMod (CM 9.1) supports all bunch of languages including Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, many Asian languages and a lot more.
SKAm69, CM out-of-the-box does not support localization of the hardware keyboard - a third party app is needed for that. As for UI translation, I personally prefer English UI anyway.
So... here we go.
The archive includes: keychars/keylayouts - put it to corresponding folder in /system/usr and fix permissions (root is a must!), xml file for RuKeyboard and xls table to understand which letter goes where. Everything is made and tested on an ICS rom.
I usually switch languages with single press of the sym button, shift+sym does the symbol selection popup, alt+sym gives the smiles popup window.
www./com button is mapped as a tab, alt+www. gives a "www." input, shift+www. calls web popup window.
Every keymap can be customized using these files - just lurk a little bit and make a try.

Is there a way to add languages that are not listed in the options?

Hello. So my issue is: My dad bought himself a Gigaset ME unfortunatly the Smartphone has very limited language options and doesn't support my dads native language. Which is weird since all the android phones i've had always supported 30+ languages. Now i'm looking for a way to add or enable a language in android since it would improve the useability for him by alot.
Unfortunately i haven't found anything useful on the net how to accomplish something like that. I would guess it could be possible with a custom rom? But given the phone isn't very popular i can't find much on that either and i'm not very knowledgable about stuff like that (i can barely manage to root a phone).
Hope someone has a idea and can help us out or confirm if there is no way to accomplish adding a language to the phone. Thanks alot!
