I have a Touch Pro with a UK keyboard.
All I want to change now is to add the German umlauts to the fn+key of the characters.
I tried this in eT9.Raphael.wwe.kmap.txt:
{A A A Ä Ä 0x0a}
Works ok for the umlauts, but my SHIFT key stopped working.
The CAPS LED lights up but i still get lowercase letters.
The CAPS key pretty much works as expected but changes the SHIFT key to something else, popping up menus or closing the SMS program when combined with some keys.
With the FN key only 1 through 0 work, the rest either does nothing or calls other functions again.
Maybe I just messed up the file somehow.
Does anyone have an original WWE or 407 file for the Touch Pro?
What I also tried is this:
{E E E € € 0x02}
Doesn't work but pops up the symbol map.
Where do special keys like € and £ come into play?
Entering random characters into *.kmap.txt seems to work only for certain characters (or keys?).
All I need is the 4 cursed umlauts added to my standard keyboard layout.
Has anyone done this before or am I the first crazy enough to try?
Your input and ideas are highly appreciated.

I don't want to change the keyboard layout.
That one has been asked and answered before.
My phone doesn't have the German QWERTZ layout but UK QWERTY.
Looks like this: IMAGE
So I just want to use a few additional characters with the FN key.
Does anyone know if the UK keyboard layout is different from the WWE and how I can use it?
I was never able to get the € and £ (printed in green on the E and W keys) to work.
you must search the forum with the keyword: "ezinput". click the first item in the search results -its caption is "[30-Nov-08] HTC EzInput Keyboard Suites - QVGA and VGA RC2 and ..."-
i think this will solve your problem
ps: i would like to give you the direct links but forum administrators don't allow some members to add links in their messages

Hi all,
I have now spend whole night browsing these (and other) pages and tried to found answer to my problem - without any luck.
I have Cingular 8525 which, ofcourse, doesn't have ö and ä letters in the keyboard (like Swedish, Norvegian and Finnish versions have).
Broblem is basicly this: I have to write quite a lot messages / text files with also Ö and Ä letters and it is REALLY slow at the moment. Getting ö or ä letter takes 6 pushes! First push A, then hold the blue dot (what is it called?) and then push four times space-> extremely frustrating!
Is there any way to remap individual keys? Like if I normaly get PgUp if I push blue dot + up arrow, but after remapping I would get letter ö instead of PgUp. And if I would push blue dot + shift + up arrow I would get big Ö and so on.. (I could sacrifise PgUp and PgDn for letters ä and ö).
Or, even better, if I would push long (like one secong or more) letter a, then I would get ä etc..
If somebody could help me with this it would be great!
Soo....... ... .. this isn't possible?
Do I have any other choise than start to look other phone (or find somewhere scandinavian keyboard to my phone)?

I am in a good mood today, but please click on my signature below to search with google or read the mrvanx guide if you need info.
Here is the cab you need, do not forget to power off and back on after installing for it to work.

I'm clad that you are in good mood today, so am I. Unfortunately you just didn't answer my question at all.
I can't use any nordic keyboard cab-files, because they chance the whole layout of the keyboard. And if you didn't happen to know, every special mark (marks which are in blue colour in the keyboard) are at completely different places in those nordic keyboards (which has Ä, Ö and Å letters). So that makes them quite useless for me..
I have know modified the file which assign the function of blue dot + space. This means that now I only have to push three buttons to get letters ä, ö and å. I still would like to know how to get rid of the third push.. How to map letters ä and ö in the way that I describet in the first message (to the places of PnUp and PgDn)
Ps. I can use Google too, believe or not.
I dont think there's a way. I've been trying to find a way to remap the Dot + right arrow to Resco Explorer instead of the ****ty ass built in File Explorer. But still haven't found a way. Checking within the registry. But the thing is that i dont know what the built in File Explorer is called. YOu have any idea? is it fileexplorer.exe or explorer.exe?
It has something to do with this.
HKLM/Hardware/Devicemap/KEYBD
In there.. there are a few values. I think I'll have to do it manually. Take out the keybddr.dll and edit it. Or maybe the Keyboard Function Keys. Not sure about this.
i'm looking to do the same and currently tweaking (trying out) a prog called AEKMAP. you can google it to learn more
Copy and paste the attached file to your \Windows directory, replacing the existing file. Note that you can't do this with the standard file explorer as you are replacing a system file, so download GSFinder+. When the file is copied, softreset and voila! Now you can write åäö by pressing the dot then a or o. Much quicker than using the symbols screen.
This file can be modified to other languages as well, however, make sure that the file is exactly 498 bytes before copying it to the device. If the file size changes or the encoding changes the keyboard will stop working until you restore a proper version of the file.
Hi,
Have a little problem with my dual. Or maybe I simple don't know.
When I want to write sms I see "touch keyboard" input is 2 letters on 1 button. But when I in file explorer for expl. I'm using "touch keyboard" input with 1 letter on button.
How could I fix it? bicause when I'm writing sms I want to see every letter on different button but I can't do that because I have to use only metod with 2 letters on button
Thanx
Sorry for my poor English
Htc Touch Dual
this is not the problem
u can see teh 1 botton keyboard only on some applications like contacts but when you try to make a new sms or email you can see the 2 or 3 botton keyboard nothing can change that unless someone here in the forum will have a tool or reg fix for it
gd luck

i would really like to have the 1 button keyboard as my only soft keyboard for ALL applications. does anyone know a way to imply this?
thanks a lot.
Or modified keyboard
Or possibly modify the touch keyboard so that the full stop & comma are on the 1st page of symbols & the word select area is more finger friendly?
Try the keyboard TouchPal ...is free to use and is great for oane hand use of the phone. I write SMS with it even when driving...
here it is : http://www.cootek.com/
don't know if this helps and if it sets the keyboard to default, but if you press on the little "upper arrow" on the right side to the "20", you can change the kind of keyboard used by the application
I like to have this keyboard too...
Hi ,
I have written a small application:
http://rapidshare.com/files/125258935/HebKeys_tog198.CAB.html
This application is designed for window mobile 6 devices that has a numeric keyboard,
one of the problems with this type of devices is that there isn't language support for them, for example if you want to write sms in hebrew or russion using this keyboard it is impossible.
After installing this application a XML file (layout.xml) will be coppied to your device containning all the translation of the keyboard. (this xml is configure to HP 600 !!! it will not work on other devices)
The xml file contains group of hardware keys (for example):
<keys>
<HWcode>48</HWcode>
<state1>0</state1>
<state2>ך</state2>
<state3>ן</state3>
<state4>ף</state4>
</keys>
in this example hardware key 48 will contain the following signs: 0-zero, "ך" - hebrew sign, "ן" - another hebrew sign, "ף" and another hebrew sign.
clicking on hardware key 48 (0 in the hardware keyboard of the hp 600) will itirate between does "states".
This application will run in the background, for toggeling it's translation use your Voice button (key 198) or configure it to different button:
<tog>
<HWcode>198</HWcode>
</tog>
you can of course configure yourself the signes and hardware keys to mach your device.
I written another application in order to help you find what is the hardware code for every key in your device:
http://rapidshare.com/files/125091730/KeyMap_13.zip.html
this two applications will not run together, so make sure you are closing one before running the other (SR is also agood idea).
Pls backup all your data before installing the applications.

HW keyboard working on 3rd party apps in Dual
Great news to those using Touch Dual with 20keys and are fustrated with the HW keyboard typing only numbers on 3rd party apps (like Opera, Google Search etc.) - this HebKeys app by Golum can provide a reasonable solution.
Limitations:
- No XT9.
- No Shift or Capital letters.
- No symbol window access (SYM is not active).
- Long delay is required in words that have two consequent letters mapped to the same key (e.g. REad, because R and E are on the same key). Alternatively, if an unmapped key is pressed (SYM), you can re-press the key again and get the next letter.
BTW, Golum promised to provide an update with an option to update the value of this delay through an xml file.
How to install:
1. download the HebKeys app by Golum, from http://rapidshare.com/files/125260462/HebKeys_button198.CAB.html
2. download the following key mapping layout that I have created: http://www.4shared.com/file/52928436...55/layout.html
3. after installing the app, replace the layout.xml file in the app folder (under Program Files) with the layout.xml file that you downloaded in 2.
Now what you need is to run the installed app and the re-mapping is done (need to re-run it after soft-reset).
If you run the app after it was activated, you can stop it using the "Exit" button. BTW, it is possible that the link above by Golum is for a slightly different version than the one in the link I provided, in which the default when running the app is the "unmapped keyboard" and there's no option to exit (no Exit button). Golum? I personally prefer the one with the Exit option.
If you wish to play with the mapping layout, you can edit the XML yourself. It is quite readable. Notice you cannot put less than 4 options (representing 4 repeating presses) to each key.
The last key mapped is for toggling the mapping on and off (the app is still in the background). Default is the ALT key.
The mapping of the HW keys of the 20key Dual is as follows (in the order it appears on the keyboard):
81 49 50 51 79
65 52 53 54 76
90 55 56 57 8
236 119 48 120 13
If you have a different device, you can try the key mapping app in the link from my previous post, to get the mapping.
Regarding Hebrew:
The layout file that I have provided solves the keyboard problem, but replaces the Hebrew support in the original layout included with the HebKeys app. However, I found that if you have Eyron Hebrew support installed, when the HebKeys is activated and you switch to Hebrew in the Eyron soft keyboard you can use the keyboard to write Hebrew!
If you think you managed to improve it, added the Shift or Sym functionality etc. - please share with all.
Enjoy.
Update:
Please note that I have updated the layout.xml a little, so if you already downloaded it - please re-download and re-copy to the proper folder.
If you really insist to know why I udpdated:
I found out the key I used for space is actually &NBSP, which seems like a space but is not exactly a space.
For some reason putting merely a space character in the XML does not work (not recognized, probably removed by the XML interpreter), so I added a NULL character afterwards, to turn it into a significant space.
Great App, seems to be the most awaited fix for the XDA Stealth keypad. Thanks GOLUM.

Is it possible to use the joystick or navigation pad (right) to be able to move the cursor right away to type the next character? I used to do this on my Nokia days before.
and by the way, is there anyway to do a toogle with this one for enabling and disabling? i mean there would be a toggle that would enable this and use your configured XML as the layout then a toggle OFF to use the default or original keyboard layout. That would be awesome!
The cursor key may not be the greatest idea, as it also functions to move the curser around. It depends on the application - in some it will give you exactly what you want, in others it will move away from the location of the next word.
An alternative option is to use an unmapped key or one that is mapped to nothing, as I explained (I use SYM).
Reg toggle - as explained in the posts the last key in the layout.xml is the toggle key definition. Default is ALT.
Please note that I have updated the layout.xml a little.

can u provide this too on xda stealth?
Space
I cannot make a space?
HOw should I write it in text editor?
Pls Help!
space
"space" works with "0"-button, without <HWcode>48</HWcode>... in layout.xml
suggestion
tried this on my stealth, with the Layout.xml file changed to a regular eng to replace the multitap on my stealth, so far it's working fine with the exception of only 4 characters assignment on each hardware keys.. Can the maker or someone set the assignment to 5 char per key so we can accomodate the letters and number for 7 and 9..
WOW AWESOME!!
it is working properly on my stealth..
now i can write a message faster than before..
Thanks a Lot GOLUM
hopefully it can 5 char/key on the next release..
can someone plz upload the layout file for the touch dual again?
tnx
Ok, so I've been searching around and trying different things but I still cannot get this to work like I expected: how can I use the physical keyboard on my Prime to type accented words without changing the keyboard layout?
On Windows I can get this done easily if I configure my keyboard layout as "US-International" and the input language as "Portuguese (Brazil)" (which is the language I want to type in). This way, when I press the single quote key, for instance, the system waits for the next typed letter to decide what to do: if I type a letter which accepts an accent (such as "a"), Windows will add the letter with the accent (in this case, "á"), otherwise it will just add the single quote.
On my Prime, if I change the default input language of the ASUS keyboard to Portuguese, I am able to type accented words but the keyboard layout is also changed to the Brazilian standard. This causes a problem: the positions of some keys are changed (about 8 of them). I could memorize the new positions of the keys, this would be fine except for the fact that I can't type question marks or slashes with this layout! (at least I didn't find any way to do so)
Then I tried using Swiftkey X, if I choose that as the default input method (with the Brazilian Portuguese dictionary enabled) and type using the physical keyboard I don't even need to type the accents because the auto-correct feature takes care of that for me, this is very good but there are some problems with this method:
- When typing question marks or exclamation points at the end of the sentences, the last word in the sentence ends up getting capitalized since I need to hold the "Shift" key to type those marks (I can work around this problem by typing the word, then a space and then the question mark or exclamation).
- If I need to type a word which is only one accented letter, depending on what the prediction engine does I might have to manually choose the right prediction by touching the screen (it gets the job done, but it's a little annoying). We have a few words like this in Portuguese, such as the word "é" which is used often (it means "is", while the word "e" means "and", that's why the prediction engine might suggest either of them).
Anyway, hopefully you guys understand the problem and have a good suggestion for me.
Currently I think the best solution is to use Swiftkey X and live with the small annoyances I mentioned (I'll e-mail them and maybe suggest they make improvements for this), but does anyone know of any other way I could make the physical keyboard on my Prime behave like the one on my Windows laptop?
Thanks in advance!
I re-posted this on the Q&A section (because that seems to be the correct one), please delete this thread and sorry about that
I don't know if this helps, but in Spanish, if you use a different software keyboard (like Swype, or others), this breaks the configuration of the physical keyboard and you can't use special spanish keys like Ñ. The solution is to root the device and edit a system file.
By the way, my keyboard is localized to spanish language, so I have no problems with it. Is your keyboard localized to portuguese?
Do you mean my physical keyboard? It's the US version, if I try to type "é" like I do in Windows (I type the single quote " ' " and then " e "), I end up getting " 'e ".
If I switch the language of the ASUS keyboard to Portuguese, it works like in Windows but there's the problem of the remapped key layout.
I read about the rooting solution you mentioned, perhaps that might work if I use it with the ASUS keyboard configured for Portuguese, I could change the layout to match that of the US keyboard. Problem is, I just bought the tablet and I'd lose my warranty, or is there a way to unroot it if I needed to?
Maybe you could type those letters by entering their ascii code.
I don't know if there's an unroot method, you should check in the development forums.

That's a good suggestion, but I don't know if it would be too practical since quite a lot of words in portuguese use accented letters, but thanks anyway!
I think I'll root my Prime and then use the ASUS Portuguese keyboard with remapped keys...
I know, I should have searched.
But I have searched and did not find anything usable.
I have a HTC Leo with WM6.5 and Energy Sense mod.
Recently an idiot (me probably) bewitched my keyboard. Instead of my good old QWERTY traditional keyboard i get a QW ER TY keyboard with two letters per key.
Ok. let's change the input type...
Where?
On the Sense Settings menu under Locale & Text, Text input? nothing there usable.
On the start menu? Settings? Tools? I did not find anything that worked.
Could anyone give me a hint where to retreive my good old QWERTY?
Thank you
with compact qwerty open give a quick tap offset to the right half of the keyboard icon & you should get the extended menu come up with options of Qwerty including full standard qwerty.
You can also use my attached mortscript & use the .exe to launch the script which will make the input extended menu popup.
Thank you. It was too easy... I spent hours trying to find the way...
