I found it annoying that keys on the qwertz-keyboard on long press didn't give out the secondary symbol anymore, in other words: in order to show the € sign, you first have to press FN. I changed the eT9.Rose.0407.kmap.txt so it will bring up the numbers/secondary symbols on long press. Also, there were no umlauts at all. These will now appear by pressing FN and the corresponding letter (FN + a --> ä, etc.)
Just copy the attached file to your device, and then using TotalCommander, move it into the windows folder.
Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that was so easily possible. I altered my eT9.Rose.0407.WWE.txt to be able to type Slovak national character on long press. Works flawlessly.
A keyboard layout is any specific mechanical, visual, or functional arrangement of the keys, legends, or key–meaning associations (respectively) of a computer, typewriter, or other typographic keyboard.
After a little tweaking it also worked for Norwegian ÆØÅ characters! Ahh! Lovely to finally have the Rose working with WM 6.5 ROM and Norwegian characters!!!
How can i put this file into the windows folder??
it says always that the file is in use and cannot be replaced
thanks in advance

SIP Mapping lost
Hi Energy,
I tried your method and all works fine with 128dpi resolution.
One issue only: my default sip (virtual keyboard) lost all mapping keys. I think that now it show the correct italian layout but when I tap some key I get wrong typing (like " and not @).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance for your help and "scusa per il mio inglese davvero terribile" (sorry for my terrible english).
Ciao
Maurizio

keyboard problem - shift+key characters
Thanks, it works well!
Just a detail: on my i780 Real Vga has changed the keyboard and this one has not the right characters when you use the shift key (i.e.: on "3" there isn't "£", etc.)
what about you?
thx

Hey.
So i downloaded this and installed on touch X.
But it wont work. I do not get any Scandinavian keyboard :/
Anyone got this to work successfully? If so please tell me how
Hargibi
I'm just adding my voice. I hope someone can help us with this.
Thanks mate..
Gullum any change you got any idea how to get this to work ?
I have the same problem, even tried to edit the registry (a bit too much), so now it doesn't even work in english ;-)
I will post how I solved it to get swedish to work later today, when I get to my PC.
Copy the attached files, except the .reg file to the windows folder.
Import the .reg file.
Change the registry key HKLM/Software/HTC/ezsip/LibraryCount to 16 (dec)
Soft-reset to be on the safe side and then you can choose Swedish language in the Touch Keyboard settings.
For other languages you have to figure out what files to copy and change the registry settings.
Good luck to you!
Great! Thank you!

the Norwegian files are inside the scandinavian cab on gullim.4shared.com
Yes, you're right.
So there is probably only a reg setting left to get this working. Norwegian is currently not showing in the list of available languages in the touch keyboard settings.
can you help me with the portuguese language?!?!?!
Hei. The files in Gollums scandinavianX.cab is different than the swedishfiles.zip. How du I take out the norwegian files and the reg.file? Can anyone do that and make a zip of it like the Swedish files? We norwegians would thank you!
Take a look
Hey, I just posted a guide for Norwegian language here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350215
"Burde virke bra"
I can't seem to get this to work. For some reason, norwegian is not a choice in the languages dropdown menu. I have modified the LibraryCount to 16 (dec), which increased the amount of available languages, but norwegian is not one of them.
Have anyone got this to work?
Re
1.
Some keypad installers leaves a string called "AvailableLanguages"(Sorry if I misspell Available).
Where you can check if the language code for Norway is in fact there.
2.
Maybe you got more languages than 16, try to increase the number.
3.
But it sounds more like you need to get another cab installer for the keypad and try again.
Hope it helps!
Seeing as i got my mini pro from sweden, i haven't been able to use any third party input method with the physical keyboard, due to the keyboard mapping used by third party being swedish (i type in norwegian) Since there is now a way to solve the problem I would like to request for someone to upload the following file from a 2.1 norwegian or danish hard keyboard mini pro:
The file mimmi_keypad.kcm.bin from the system/usr/keychars folder
thanks for the help
Isnt there any norwegian or danish hard keyboard mini pros out there? -
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
You just need to edit one single file in the phone!
Just put mine back from English, to Danish, myself..
system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml
The passage that you are interested in changing is:
<keyprint>
<script name="cyrillic" keylayout="cyrillic"/>
<script name="greek" keylayout="greek"/>
<script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-no-dk"/>
</keyprint>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it's probably keylayout="qwerty-se-fi" atm...
I have changed keyprint.xml to qwerty-no-dk, and that fixes the problem with the built in text input application. The problem starts when I want to use third party application such as smart keyboard. The third party programs uses mimmi_keypad.kcm.bin to map the keys of the keyboard.
So hopefully some Norwegian or Danish hard keyboard mini pro will come to the rescue
I need this as well.
Only way to get rid of the fugly blue language bar and still keep the æøå.
Norwegians or danish - plz upload
How silly of me to forget about the danish. Ofc they have the same alphabet so that is quite usable aswell
Hope this works.
Well I have the file in my dropbox folder. And I have the link. But this forum won't allow me to post links without having my account verified by an administrator. I tried to send a message to an administrator several times, but the message would not send with or without a link in the message.
Pm me an e-mail adress and I'll mail you the link.
Or maybe this works.
dl%dropbox.com/u/12011877/mimmi_keypad.kcm.bin
Edit: Yes it did. Ignore the above, and just supplement the % sign with a .
Cheers for that, much appreciated. Downloaded the file. The problem still seems to be there. Would you mind zipping the folders (and the files within) system/usr/keyboard-config, system/usr/keychars and system/usr/keylayout and posting them. There might be some other files in action. Are you on a danish or norwegian mini pro?
Hope this is what you wanted!
I have norwegian mini pro..
Those files solved the problem quite nicely Thanks for your help in this matter. Now the only issue left is to get the Symbol key to work with 3rd party text input apps. The author of Smartkey has promised that it is on his todo list
Glad to help
Thanks!
(i love this forum)

Edit:
Replaced with the folders you provided, and now none of the keys on my phone work (including on/off,menu,settings and back) :/
Fixed by format phone (quicker than finding a real solution without backup).

Which files did you switch?
The file mimmi_keypad.kcm.bin from the system/usr/keychars folder is the one that maps the physical keys of the keyboard. I think I messed up the first time I tried to replace it or something because it didnt fix my issue. I ended up deleting the folders provided by LadieL from my phone using rootexplorer, then replacing them with the ones provided. Since it wasn't thought through I had a field day of force close errors until I had fixed the permission of all the files and folders (very important and very time consuming )
I would recommend to just delete the file mimmi_keypad.kcm.bin from the system/usr/keychars folder in your phone and replace it by the one provided by LadieL. Just remember about the permissions
Ah, the permissions!
That fixed it
Thank you!
hello!
Yesterday I restored my mobile to the version 2.3 and since then I have a problem with my keyboard (x10 mini pro). When I write something in greek everything is ok. But when I write something in english some characters are somewhere else (e.g. prefix @ is on other button). I want to place the prefixes to their correct place.
I tried to correct the file qwert-en.xml but I can't save it.
Any ideas?? How can I do it?

IMPORTANT:
Goto anywhere you need to input text. push long on the input box until the windows input methods appears chose Standardinput and now it will work. If you don't want to use the standard input method and want to use android one also flash the your hardware keyboard from the bottom this will enable you to use both keyboard input methods!. reselect your language. Do the same for Bopomofo Chinese Input method(optional download)

As for many of you having troubles with "shift" key not working. Touch the text input window and hold your finger on it until a menu appears, chose input methods, choose android keyboard and NOT the HTC one I don't know why but "shift" key will work again!
As I got a lot of requests regarding different hardware keyboards I'll like to start a thread in order I can build you guys custom keyboard layouts for your froyo or gigglebread roms. My goal is it to have all languages sooner or later updated and organized in this thread.
I need to the following from you guys so we can make the hardware keyboard work.
your qwerty.kcm.bin and your qwerty.kl from your old Sony Ericsson Firmware (/system/usr/) i need the entire folder with keyboard-config, keyboard-chars etc..
List your buttons and which button should have which character on blue/sym button and if you need capital letters as well which key should appear on blue/sym and shift button press
List you special signs, like underscore, plus,minus, etc .. even if you need a key frequently which is not on the default keyboard layout from sony we can still place it on a different button suitable for you
and last but not least any special requests, like numbers or so in the wrong place.
If you want to have an exact copy of your hardware keyboard as it is on your device (like the blue letters and number) please post a picture
As for many of you having troubles with "shift" key not working. Touch the text input window and hold you finger on it until a menu appears, choose android keyboard and NOT the HTC one I don't know why but "shift" key will work again!
I'll place all the keyboards in the second post for you once they are finished.

hi, i just want the original x10 mini pro Portuguese From Portugal(PT-PT) thanks
well as i do not speak pourtuguese do you have the original qwety.kcm.bin or something like that? or button mapping? thanks! (its in the list in 1 thread what i need)
you know what would be best just post a picture of your hardware keyboard. and i'll make the files for you
slade 87.
Good stuff man.
its guys like you who makes XDA what it is.
keep up the good work
Good thread, . I have one suggestion thought, I suggest you move all the keyboard layout submitted to the first post with thanks to the finder/inventor. That way people will easily find what they need.
yes of course i'll give the credit to the people who found it. Once there is more keyboard i'll start using external links, so we can divide languages from each other and also make it easier to give credit.
how do you get the qwerty.kcm.bin and qwerty.kl files? do u need to use root explorer or what? im new at this, sorry
hey, is it possible to put in german keyboard the old function from the sym/aü button. so if u press this button u will open the window, with smilies and special symbols?

I wonder the same about my Norwegian phone...
When I click the Sym button, it happends the same as on the blue button ...
It should be smileys and stuff there like , :-( , , , :O etc...
Thanks!
slade87 you got permission to post my files from cm topics here
i will delete the links from my post and i will link to this posted i think this is more up to date them mine are
as of now i don't think this is possible but we can map new letters to buttons so for example old german layout was:
sym button + o would make an "ö"
now i did the following blue/sym button + o makes "ö"
but not with touch input but with the hardware keyboard. so the most frequent letters we can reasign to a combo of blue/sym button and work with that.
owain thanks I'll update this thread day by day and slowly merge your existing keyboards into this thread. I will upload new version to mediafire as well and keep your old links if thats ok with you.
the why im asking that is, in connectbot for example i must use > or < but i cant find these symbols on the keyboard, coz these were under the menu witch opend with sym/aö ;>
check first post i got it working with the se menu!

what you preffer?
the qwerty.kcm...? or the picture?
if you preffer the qwerty.kcm... please tell me how to get that for you...(im new in this android scene.. i preffer symbian s60 v5 modding)
i just need the keyboard becouz im my language(Portuguese from portugal) we have "Ç" and we use ´, `, ~ and ^ in some letters like "é"(is) in "Não"(this = no) and in "A" in some cases "à" or "á" and i need the < and > for my smiles :b
please check the first post and follow the instructions of the sonyerricon.zip (first link) you should have all your keys back.
okay with the sonyericsson.zip i got the symbols back on sym/äo but it seems instable with the sms/mms programm of cm6 3.2.1 coz i get forced closes Oo
did you reselect the language?
i don't know if it helps you but use xrecovery and download one of the other posted keyboard layouts, install it and then try it again. after i did this i had no more force closes. but in rare occassions the symbol menu did not work (touch did not respond) but it didnt force close i could still write my text just couldn't select an icon (and could get the menu away with pushing sym button again).
uey, i tried it with the french one, at the beginning no sym/aö symbole table, but than i hold the finger on the input and switch from standartinput to Androidinput, closed and do it again but now back to Standart input and it works. strange things are goin on here ;>
thnx for ur help and work
i am glad it worked!
I updated the link on the first post. this should work now without luzifers work around.
Hi guys I have problem creating a customized layout for my external USB keyboard for my tablet running Android 4.1.1:
I have a English (US) keyboard and wanted to add some special characters to it (e.g. ALT+A should give me the German letter 'Ä' ...).
What I did until now:
1. I created a IDC (input device konfiguration) file in the folder /system/usr/idc so that my tablet will recognize my keyboard and use the costomized kl and kcm files
2. I created a customized kl (keylayout) file in the folder /system/usr/keylayout with some slight changes (e.g. END Button moving the curser to the end of a line instead entering standby mode)
3. I created a customized kcm (keycharactermap) file in the folder /system/usr/keychars with the changes for the special characters.
The first two points are working just perfect (My tablet recognizes the keyboard correctly and applies the changes I made to the kl file).
My problem is with the 3rd point:
The Tablet doesn't use the kcm file for the keyboard layout, although stated so in the idc file (remember that it works fine for the kl file). That means my key kombinations for the special characters will not work.
The strange thing is that if I unplug and replug the keyboard while being in the settings -> language&input menu the Tablet uses my customized kcm file afterwards. It also seems that it doesnt recognize the keyboard correctly in this case, because I can't see it in the input settings anymore. But it works AND uses my customized layout.
That means: If my keyboard is recognized correctly it uses some layout, if it is not recognized correctly it uses my customized layout.
Strange, isn't it?
Any ideas how I can make my tablet use the customized kcm file all the time?
Thank you for your help!
