Keyboard setting german? - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

Hi,
is there a way to change the soft keyboard (displayed when clicking on the keyboard-symbol) from qwety to qwertz ?
I do NOT mean the setting to change it on the hardware-keyboard (registry entry) which works.
I assume the settings are in the registry as well. Any hints?

i also want to know the answer.
i guess it need some new resource file for the setting?

I'm not sure but i think i know the Prob!
I use an external Keyboard with German Layout, the Softkeyboard works with some registry changes.
The external Keyboard use maybe the Registrykey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
The important Values are:
"Keyboard SubType"=0
"Keyboard Type"=4
Type 4 is for english, and i don't know the german value, i think it is dangerous to change it to any value, without know how.
Maybe also the prob is the Key:
"DriverName"=keybddr.dll
If it is the problem you must generate a german driver with the SDK!
As i said before, i'am not sure but this are my results and i'am also looking for a solution!
I hope that was a little help!

You could also try Resco Keyboard Pro

I mean Resco Keyboard is a a Softkeyboard,
i have described the problem about german qwertz layout support, for external Hardware Keyboard and that is not the same registry settings like softkeyboard qwertz layout!
The Prob is still the same!

I don't think that the solution for the softkeybord will work on Athena too, but maybe you can find a similar way.
This works for Trinity and Hermes devices, but both have only a QVGA screen.

Looks good, but it don't solve the Problem with an external Keyboard, i mean Hardware USB-Keyboard!
Still qwerty!

I am also very keen to find a solution to this. I am using a Finnish usb:n keyboard and need to have the 'ä' and 'ö' working.

Change keyboard layout in WinMo 6.5?

Hi guys,
I just updated my HTC Touch Pro to 6.5 with one of the made roms from here.
Works very nice.
The problem is, there ain't any danish keyboard layout.
So i can't use the following letters: æøå
Though i can see the letters no problem if i receives messages with em'.
I just cant type them my self.
Anyway to solve this? Ive look around the forum but can't really seem to find anything useful.
Thanks guys.
Hy, there is a registry entry that changes the layout of the keyboard and you have to change the value to 0407 (engl.) or 0409 (germ.) or the number of your country ... Sorry that i cant say more at the moment, but im sure you will find that by using the search..

Hi Borisku,
I have now tried with all the .reg's and stuff around the forums, scandinavian hardware keyboards etc.
The closest i got, was with Scandinavian Keyboard by Fraction.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496876&highlight=swedish
Then i get all my FN buttons to work ( those that are highlighted with green color ) EXCEPT Æ Ø Å.
This is really confusing lol. :-(
Try this:
set
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Keyboard Layout\Active]
to 00000406
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang]
to 1030
do a soft reset
Maybe you have to choose danish in the settings anywhere

Language Inputs for WM 6.5

As a foreign language student I often find myself looking for ways to use the language I'm learning/have learned on my winmo device. At first this can be very daunting as there are a lot of options out there, so I wanted to make this thread to consolidate any freeware or other options there are working for the current builds of winmo.
If people think this is a good idea I'll link this thread on the wiki. Please post any language inputs you have with a cab or a working link and I'll update the thread to include them.
INPUTS:
Chinese
Pinyin inputs
ZTA4 - (by far the BEST free pinyin input out there)
Non-Touchscreen
QVGA Touchscreen
VGA Touchscreen
WVGA Touchscreen with HTC skin (Recommended)
Handwriting inputs
Samsung Handwriting Input - VGA/WVGA Fullscreen input
Korean
Multiple Input Methods
Moakey v2 WVGA - Includes hand input, keyboard input, etc.
Japanese
Multiple Input Methods
Handwriting + Kana Input VGA/WVGA - Not touch friendly [Original Thread]
Touch Friendly Input - This is a cab I made combining touchkeysip + gesture10key SIP. NOTE: This is not an IME, you must separately install a japanese IME and use 411 japanese keyboard for it to work, but if you do it is an excellent touch friendly layout for something like the HD2.
Handwriting
Careace Japanese Writing Input - Includes font, original site here
Edit: If you have any stable working input methods for any language, please let me know.
Whatever language input you decide to install you will need a display font to go along with it. If you might be using more than one language its best to go with one of the multiple ones listed at the top, but if you are sure to only use one language a dedicated single font will provide more robust support.
FONTS:
M8 CJKT Doggold v2 - Supports Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Thai
Ko_jp_cn - More robust Chinese/Japanese/Korean support, but no thai.
Sunglobe - Small Chinese Simplified font with Trad support
Microsoft Yahei - Supports all simp and Trad Characters and most Japanese, it is supposed to support Korean as well, but I can't get it to display.
Korean Font by Careace - Original website here
what about japanese ?

I don't want to post anything I haven't either A) personally tested or B) been recommended by another forum member.
I'll work on finding some japanese input solutions later today, as well as expanding the chinese inputs to include zhuyin, wubi, and maybe cangjie methods.
If anyone out there has a reliable input method, please share. In particular I think we need to find a korean method.

There you go, japanese input added. Still need one that is touch friendly at WVGA though.

But can't make it works, even with PQzII on my HD2

Ok, I'm working on a solution. Can you tell me exactly what it does? Can you bring up the keyboard at all? Will it type, or is it showing boxes, or only typing english?
can't find japanese keyboard. (the shift - ctrl - ctrl - shift can't work... don't have ctrl key )
and with pzqII when i lauch it, i have a white square in the middle of "start" word on top left, and can't activate anything.

If you look in the original thread that I posted next to the japanese input, you will find that you have to go into the registry and manually change the keyboard to 411 instead of 409 (english).
I'm trying to find a way to avoid doing that, as both the chinese and korean inputs I have don't require that, but so far no dice.
nevermind, forgot to reset the the phone. hah.. 0_o
ok just tried editing peoples names in korean with moakey v2. and installed the korean font cab but doesn't seem to display any korean..
errm did I miss something?

I strongly recommend the M8 CJKT cab, its worked the best for me so far.
I'm using it plus moakey + zta4 on my phone right now and they both work fine.
Remember, you may have to reset a couple of times when dealing with fonts and inputs.

that's a good solution when you use for long time japanese input.. but in my case, i wont go to registry and change a key every 5 seconds! :/
but, there's nothing hurry, i finally can't use the program i wanted, so i keep searching for a kanji learner / dictionnary, with japanese inputs AND handwriting :/
Have you by chance tried this WVGA version of ZTA4?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4149571
I need a WVGA Chinese pinyin input method, one that's 6.5 compatible for my Rhodium based phone.
Nevermind, fixed this!
Hello, this thread has been incredibly helpful, thanks !
I have a little problem, I can't make Moakey & Samsung handwriting (chinese) work together... Only the last installed works and seems to disable the first installed. I think they have conflicting files or something?
For example, if Moakey is installed, then if I install Samsung handwriting, it disables handwriting in Moakey.
Any solutions? I have installed them both on internal storage, then tried to put one in internal and one in external, but no success...
You should try Mobem Software's CE-Star, and CE-Star Suite. They have keyboards, handwriting, stroke... and many others and mutiple languages.
I just tried your ZTA4, which is very nice. I think I prefer it as a keyboard Pinyin input to that of Mobem's.

hi thanks for these info. i'm really look forward to zhuyin input. coz i can only know how to use zhuyin input in tranditional chinese.
by the way, i use htc diamond 2 wm6.5 english version. are they competiable with my phone? i've tried ezinput 2.1, but it's failed. i know it'll work on other rom, but i'll prefer to keep wm6.5.

The First One ZTA4 WVGA version works well, although the keyboard seems to continuously make itself the default. I have a Blackstone, HTC HD T8282, also running a WM 6.5.+ ROM, but cannot comment on Rhodium. Can't see why it should be different though. Good Luck. BTW, I have still only found CE-Star to fully display Characters in all applications, Mail, Calendar, Home, Contacts, etc.

[Q] Changing Language in Fabulous Gingerbread Keyboard for Word Suggestion/Prediction

Hey There,
I live in Germany and type most of my SMS in german.
I flashed the "Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Keyboard" from Fabulous? under CM6.1 on my Hero. (the one from the "perfect setup guide")
it's working just fine, but the suggested words are all in english, which is actually pretty annoying, since I can make no mistake while typing.
Is there ANY way to change the dictionary/word-completion-database (whatever is responsible), so the keyboard actually suggests german words, when keyboard is set to german and english words, when set to same.
If I could only change it to one language permanently, I would still like to change it towards german.
If this doesn't work, which keyboard should I give a try? This should have a working auto-prediction in german under CM6.1
I know Swype and HTC_IME...
cheers
I don't think you can but have you tried changing your language on the phone if that does not work you might want to download smart keyboard trail from the android market then search for smart keyboard language the german language should be somewhere in the search result then go into settings then language and keyboard then check the smart keyboard trail then long press on then go into message and compose message then long press on any box and choose smart keyboard trail
phone language is already set to german. changing it to english and then back to german didn't change anything.
will give smart keyboard a try!
thanks for the suggestion.
try this one
http://www.addictivetips.com/?attachment_id=36130
guess it should work (let me know if it does )
and found this on my pc: should be multilangual.. with german if i
remember correctly (flash in recovery)
OR from android market..

[Q] [ANSWERED] how does the bluetooth keyboards work?

I have czech language keyboard layout with 4 rows (1 row is with special characters instead of numbers) so will a bluetooth keyboard work according to chosen SW keyboard layout or is it already set as any bluetooth keyboard is?
Thanks
Answer:
so....have just bought usb host and wireless Logitech MK710 CZ (keyb.+mouse 3 years battery life) works perfect with czech special letters!
So it probably depends on the keyboard. So dont need to invest in a new keyboard
So Android has no competitors ....again
bump...im also interested in this
I have tried it with a USB keyboard but I guess it will be the same on the Bluetooth one. It depends what layout is selected on the Tab - if it is Czech then you will write with this layout. This however works only using Samsung's keyboard or Go Keyboard. When I have selected Swype - the typing is with US layout, no matter which layout was chosen.
Please, could you try Hackers keyboard and set czech language??
Thank you!

Doesn't work, sorry. The top row of the keyboard is typing numbers instead of accented characters.
So,
is there any way to type these characters? Perhaps changing smthin' in the system?
I'm afraid that a keyboard itself must be built for an appropriate language

No, this is software issue. Is there a Czech layout for Go Keyboard?
Unfortunately it doesn't have
So is it an android software issue or a keyboard software issue?
It is an issue with the layout, which is in the tablet. I would try searching for a keyboard for the tablet where you can make your layout - map keys to characters. This way you can customize your keyboard as you wish.

[Q] Change Layout of Bluetooth Keyboard

I bought the General Keys Bluetooth keyboard (http://www.amazon.de/GeneralKeys-Bluetooth-Mini-Tastatur-iPad-andere-Bluetooth-Geräte/dp/B004HKQ8V4) But it has only the english Layout on my HTC Flyer.
How can i change it?
Are you rooted? If so you might be able to edit "/system/usr/keychars/", other than that I'm not sure. If you install a different language for your keyboard does it switch the character set?

I am not rooted but i'm not afraid of doing if it will make the keyboard work But i have no idea how to change the "keychars" also if I'd be rooted, you might have to explain that to me
I already used the App External Keyboard (test version) but the only thing that happened was that now some keys (e.g. "s" or "w") start apps and i can't even write with the english layout anymore
