Here are some files i got from my dad's Rose to get nordic keyboards working.
I have danish keyboard on my own Rose now, working perfectly with frauhottelmann's WM6.5 Rom.
Thought others might get som use from them.
What i did to get Danish working.
1. Copyied every file from the folders of attached file, to windows folder on my Rose
2. "HKLM>Software>Tegic>eT9>AvailableLanguages" add '0106' to the end of the string
3. Create Value "HKLM>Software>Tegic>eT9>LdbFiles>0106" = DAlsUN.ldb
4. Create Value "HKLM>Software>Tegic>eT9>IME>KDBFiles>0606" = dahpd.kdb
5. Change Value "HKLM>Software>Tegic>eT9>IME>KeyboardLayouFiles>07FF" = eT9.Rose.Nordic.kmap.txt
6. Reboot Phone and enjoy fully working keyboard
My keyboard isnt working. I cant press capslock or the special button key at all. I followed your instructions, and I double check'd that I got them all right. And I also copied the files from your file and put them into my Windows folder. What should I do to get my keyboard working again :<
I have the same problem as saderi...fix!!! lol
Same problem here, can we please get a fix?
You are copying the files from the folders in the zip, to windows directory right? Not the folders, but the files inside needs to be moved to windows.
Accutaly you just need to copy these 3 files if its danish language you want:
DAlsUN.ldb
dahpd.kdb
eT9.Rose.Nordic.kmap.txt
I just moved the 3 folders to my windows folder, but now that u explaned it better, it works! so dont move the folders, move the files inside them : > ty for help and fix
Yes works here also, thanks alot for the fix.

Anyone find this problem, my File Explorer not response when I try to copy or delete some file. Onely End task can stop that error, event i make soft reset still come error again.
Thanks
I have a similar problem...
However, for mine, when I copy and paste a file, the "hourglass" keeps going and going and going. After a while I just press the X and close the application.
When I open it again the file I was moving is moved and everything is where it should be (ie. copy and paste was successful)
I've got the I-mate 1.72 rom

Same problem as yours... The problem doesn't exist if using third party explorer.
I have another problem which made me decided to hard-reset it: Whenever I install an apps or game, I could not find the newly installed program shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs or \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games, I would need to soft-reset my device to make it appear.
I know how to resolve this problem
first goto Start---Program---AutoConfig-- then change network you want or leave default your system will running smooth again.
DON"T WORRY, your data will not lose.
Thanks
Actually, there is an awesome program you can use instead of the MS File Explorer. I just installed this because of these headaches, works good!
https://www.handango.com/PlatformPr...&order=desc&catalog=30&txtSearch=File+Manager
Some reasons
1. No compatible new fonts (may be for dictionary) with File Explorer
2. No compatible new themes (ppc2002) with File Explorer
Solution
Delete new font from windows/fonts
Back to theme windows default then soft reset
Anybody know how to remap the hardware buttons on the Qtek 8500 with either software or registry hacks??? Want to replace the Voice Tag ESPECIALLY - that just drives me nuts!!
AND, I'd like to replace the music player buttons on the front to answer with speaker phone if possible.
I'd be interested in finding out the information for changing the voice tags buttons also.
4 Files
This is to remap the two hardware buttons on each side of the screen...
These files exist in the \Windows directory. Create a file with these exact names, and have the contents of the file be a shortcut command.
SHORT_POC
LONG_POC
SHORT_CAMERA
LONG_CAMERA
Make sure that you unlock all the security settings in the phone. I don't remember the exact keys, but I know its a registry hack to allow modifying system files. You'll get an error about the file being read only if you don't do this.
FWIW, I replaced three of mine
LONG_CAMERA
42#:MSSYNCAPP?:syncapp = ActiveSync
SHORT_POC
19#\Windows\iexplore.exe = Internet Explorer
LONG_POC
19#:MSINBOX?:mailapp = Inbox
I left the camera button in place.
Perfect! Thanks for the information!
FYI, for those of you having trouble creating these shortcuts, this is how I do it. Create a new text file (using Notepad) with just the one line link you want (e.g. 19#\Windows\iexplore.exe). Save the file as SHORT_POC.LNK (or SHORT_CAMERA.LNK or LONG_POC.LNK or LONG_CAMERA.LNK) and then move it into the \Windows folder of your mobile phone. Once you rename the file to .lnk I don't think you'll be able to edit it anymore. And also, in order to make sure the file ends up as SHORT_POC.LNK and not SHORT_POC.LNK.txt, you must have "Hide extensions of known file types" unchecked in Folder View options (in Windows Explorer).
I know this post was a little unclear, so please don't hesitate to ask questions if you are still unsure how to do it.
OK, some Confusion here. I am using a Qtek 8500 with Qtek rom. Only the Short_camera shortcut is there. I have remapped that successfully. Where are the other shortcuts, or are they only present for a different rom? Are we talking about the same phone here ?
Just tried on my Qtek 8500, and although Short_POC.lnk is not in the Windows directory, if you create the shortcut it works a treat. Now this solved how do we get our bluetooth headsets to launch something else other than crappy Voice Dial? - Sadly changing Short_POC.lnk doesn't change this (was hoping they were related)
Thanks!
I got the Short_POC.lnk remap to work, but it only works when the clamshell is open. Is there any way to remap any of the external buttons so that it works when the phone is closed?
may be a stupid question, but Short_POC.lnk points to the voice recorder button, correct?

Help with MS Voice Command
Creating a "SHORT_POC.LNK" file to work a program within the windows dir is fine but, I'm having a problem scripting for MS Voice Command.
I've tried using it's exe within Program Files and even created a shortcut inside Windows dir. Could someone please end my confusion?
TIA
Bringing this thread back from the dead,
I would like to ask a question:
How exactly should I edit the LNK file in order for the voice dial button
to launch Bluetooth settings?
I mean, I know HOW to edit etc, but what the command should be?
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE 12-21-08
There is some talk that you need to also install the Sdcerts cab before this process will work. Freezing the phone sucks so i would do this first. I will add it to page one.
After bricking my phone three times-I finally got it right. I have a HTC Touch Pro-nobody really explained it to me like I was a two year old-so I decided to break it down. You have to be careful or you will freeze up the phone and then be forced to hard reset. That sucks. So this worked for me. You should extract your own shellres.dll.0409.mui using rom extractor. This is not difficult if you follow these directions. All of the programs are free and I am making a zip to include them all. I included my own shellres.dll.0409.mui. The 0409 refers to the language. It is the code for English.
1. I installed the cab -icon demarrer. It makes a couple registry changes that help the process.
2. Then I used a the rom extractor to get my shellres.dll.0409.mui and copied it to the storage card you have to enter path:\windows\shellres.dll.0409.mui and save to \storage card\shellres.dll.0409.mui To install the Rom extractor You just put the Rom extractor into active sync
3. Then drag the file to the desktop of your computer use unsigner-just drag the file over the unsigner and it is unsigned
4. Then drag the same extracted file over reshacker and navigate the file to change string 321 in the shellres.dll.0409.mui to whatever you want it to say
5. Then open msigner and navigate to your saved file shellres.dll.0409.mui to resign the file
6. Then go to settings/today/items and uncheck to turn off touch flo and then copy the new file from your desktop to the storage card.
7. Install Total Commander on your device-you do this by opening it on your home computer. Then open total commander on your device and navigate to the new file shellres.dll.0409.mui-in the storage card. Then press the stylus on the shellres.dll.0409.mui file and save to clipboard
8. Then use Total Commander to search windows directory for the shellres.dll.0409.mui that is still in the phone. (If possible-rename the file shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak or if not possible press the stylus on top of the shellres.dll.0409.mui that is in the phone and selected for the drop down menue that appears-Paste Here.
9. Then soft reset. Here it is. I included everything you need in the Zip file! Here is where I started-but it is vague-great start icons in the thread though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264
The HTC start icon is on the zip entitled shellres.192.dll
Just say thank you if any of this helps you
language codes
Your can use the file I included in the zip if you do not want to extract. just change the numbers
shellres.dll.XXXX.mui in place of the XXXX It is 0409 for english-if you want another you can use one of these codes. If you don't have an htc touch pro the file may be named shellres.dll.96.XXXX.mui
0404 CHT Chinese Traditional
0804 CHS Chinese Simplified
0405 CSY Czech
0406 DAN Danish
0413 NLD Dutch
0409 USA English
0407 GER German
0408 ELL Greek
040b FIN Finnish
040c FRA French
040e HUN Hungarian
0410 ITA Italian
0411 JPN Japanese
0412 KOR Korean
0414 NOR Norwegian
0415 PLK Polish
0416 PTB Portuguese Brazil
0816 PTG Portuguese Portugal
0418 ROM Romanian
0419 RUS Russian
041b SKY Slovak
0c0a ESN Spanish
041d SVE Swedish
041f TRK Turkish
You can also change the Start Icon which is really cool. In my touch pro it is in file shellres.192.dll under icon group 4609-
1. Download shellres.192.dll to your storage card. Use total commander to search the windows folder for shellres.192.dll
2. Press the stylus on the file and select copy to clipboard
navigate with total commander to the storage card and press the stylus there and select "paste here"
3. Use unsigner to unsign the file
4. use reshacker to open the file and navigate to "Icon Group" 4609. You will see your icon in the program.
5. Select menu "Action" and replace. Navigate to the icon you want. Select it. Save the file.
6. Sign the file with the Msigner
7. Place the file in the Storage card
8. Use Total Commander to locate shellres.192.dll and rename it shellres.192.dll.bak
9. Use total commander to find your new file in the storage card, and move it to the windows folder of your device.
10. Restart with a soft reset adn enjoy your new icon.

Can you explain one point ... ?
I tried to extract the file shellres.dll.040C.mui (french WM6.0) directly into \windows, and before modifying the file with my computer, I just re-boot the device with that change (so, just a ROM file extraction but without any modification in the file) ... and then, the device is frozen on the Windows welcome page.
Can you explain that ?

Did you follow steps exactly? You have to be careful. You can see from my screen shots that it works. I change my text every day as i feel. Did you install the icon demarrer cab?
you should also be able to navigate to the file shellres.dll.040C.mui (with Total Commander) and press the stylus on it and select copy to clip board. Then navigate to the storage card and press the stylus on a blank area and select copy here. The handheld needs the dll to work-so it is not removed from the device it is just copied.
Also make sure that your computers folders are set to view hidden files. It took me a while to get this right-and there is no step by step tutorial but the one i made here-from what I found.
Ok, but the result is the file shellres.dll.xxxx.mui in \windows
Whatever the handling, from the ROM to the SD card, to the computer, ..., the clipboard, ..., the file is finally copied in \windows
So, how can we explain that a direct extraction to \windows cannot work ?
Which operation in your process can avoid the problem ?
I don't want to modify the icon, just the text...
.. and I'm sure that works on your device, I have no doubt about that. I just would like to understand.
I also use Total Commander and it displays the hidden files.
What is the icon demarrer (french word ?) cab ? And what is the unsigner/signer method ?

The icon demmarer is a cab made by a developer. i included it, and all the necessary programs in the zip file. The cab just changes a few resgistry settings to allow this. (i believe) The file once copied to your computer can be manipulated and string value 321 changed-then compile script, save and sign. all included in the zip.
I want to know that you are able to do it, as I am.

I am having the same problem as Lewis and my device locked up twice at the windows login screen. You cannot modify the file with commander no matter what you do with your steps. There has to be something you left out. I am very good at what I do and am very far from being an ameteur

Total Commander is only used to move the file-not modify it. Follow the steps exactly. Rename the old mui to mui.back.
and install the icon demarrer cab fisrt. Turn off touch flo before. I have a Sprint HTC Touch pro with a stock rom.
The cab demarrer may be strongly needed, or/and the unsigner/signer software ?
It should be useful to know what the cab and signer/unsigner do.
Which key in the registry is concerned ?
Is ResHacker needed ? Is ROM extractor not enough ?
And mainly, why does only an extraction to \windows freeze the device after a reboot ?
I'm trying to contact the ROM extractor developer VK (a.k.a. THEVK, GreateVK)...

You have to read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264 Someone else made the icon dem cab. All I know is I read every page of every thread about this tweak-none was a road map-I just knew it could be done so I kept trying til I got it. I had to mod my start text from trying and reading. I finally got it with this method. the extraction alone will not freeze the phone-since the file is not removed from the windows registry. It is in fact not possible to remove shellres.dll.xxxx.mui since it is the entire shell of the phone.
Read every thread about start text
Ok, but the extraction will freeze the device if we do only this
So, this is the reason why the icon cab and/or one of the other operations avoid that.
Probably like Chosen4Goodness, I confirm that, if I extract the file and re-boot without any other change, the device is frozen...
freeze
Anxious to hear that someone other than me was able to follow these directions step by step and not freeze their device.
Don't worry, I'm probably not soo good !

I read in one thread how to change the word "Start". I tried to do it and I got a frozen device after reboot. So, a hard reset was needed. Another guy in this site got the same problem this week.
In fact, if I only extract shellres.dll.040C.mui (WM6.0 french version) to \windows\shellres.dll.040C.mui without any other change, I get the same problem.
So, maybe you can explain in more details how to do. Where to save the extracted file and to install at the end ? Is another operation needed ?

I couldn't send you a pm because you have your profile set to not accept incoming pm. Anyways, these are the steps that I follow to do this:
1. Extract shellres.dll.XXXX.mui via ROM Extractor;
2. Open it with ResHacker;
3. Look for String Table -> 321 -> Line 5120 and change this to whatever you want;
4. Hit "Compile"
5. Save the file. At this point, you will have two shellres files - one of them will have "original" in the file name. Just save that one in case you want to keep it.
6. Transfer to device via ActiveSync (USB, I haven't tried any other connection such as BT, Wifi, etc) into \Windows
7. Soft Reset your device.
How are you doing the transfer back to the device? It might be that the file is not transferring completely to the device, or getting corrupted in the process. TotalCommander, and Resco have not worked for me for this purpose. Give it a shot and see if it works.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
Ok, I have modified my profile.
I need a precise information about the location "Save to" in ROM extractor.
Because doing only that, to \windows\shellres.dll.040C.mui (the same file location than the ROM), is enough to freeze the device after a reboot !
So, why ?
I tried only that "simple" operation because I tried the 1st time the complete one (modify the file and transfer to the device) and I got the same problem. I believed that was due to the change in the file but the extraction is enough.
Maybe we have not to extract in \windows ?

My quesstion is why the reboot after extraction to save to \storage card\shellres.dll.0409.mui?
Also I think the last post above yours neglected to unsign and resign the file. I have fund that improper signing causes a freeze.
I know it is damn tricky since I froze mine three times, prior to doing it this way. Let me know how it goes.
I have no storage card. I reboot because I often close the device.
Could you explain the sign/unsign method ? That seems important as you say !
Which tool we have to use ?

The programs are in the zip. But I think you need a storage card. That way the Mui file is extracted to something other than the phone itself. Get a storage card and then try it. They are not expensive.
Once extracted to storage drag the file on top of the unsign icon-it will flash and that is it. It is unsigned. Then open reshack and change out the word "Start"
compile script
save
Now drag the file over the msigner.
You will have to tell the program where to find the file through the interface of the msigner program.
It will sign the file and then you will have two shellres files. One will be shellres.dll.xxxx_original.mui or something like that. That is the old file.
place the new signed file in your storage card.
then follow the rest of the directions
Hi all! Whenever some friends of mine update their Twitter a/c in Hindi Language Fonts, am unable to read them as they show up us empty rectangular boxes. Wasn't Gingerbread 2.3.3 supposed to support Hindi Language Fonts? Anyone knows how to fix this?
I guess I will have to add the Hindi font ttf file in the "fonts" folder in my Root> System folder. I have the droidhindi.ttf file downloaded but I don't know how to copy it to the required folder in root. It does not show sytem files when connected to a Laptop via USB. I can view the folder in Root Explorer on my phone, but how to transport the droidhindi.ttf file to the Fonts folder in the phone??
And will it work if I just add the drop the droidhindi.ttf file in the Fonts folder? Anyone who knows this??
a lot of indians are buying this phone

move it to computer/sdcard...but keep it safe...
now move the droidhindi.ttf to systems/fonts

restart the browser....by killing it from task manager and relaunching...
go to a hindi site....

@woodstock_ahem : Thanks a ton for your response. In a hurry right now, will do as you posted in my first free time. Hope it works
@woodstock_ahem : Ok, got down to acting upon your advice. But the problem is that I can only view the /sdcard directory of my phone when connected to my laptop via USB cable. I cannot access any other space in the phone except the /sdcard.
I can view the root files via the Root Explorer app on my phone, so I tried to Move the DroidSansFallback.ttf from the System>Fonts folder, but when I click on the Move command, I get the message that "You cannot move System Files as they are Read Only". So the problem I'm facing is HOW to transfer the new .ttf file from my laptop to the Fonts folder in System? I can neither transport the new file from my laptop to the Fonts folder in the phone coz that folder is not accessible when connected to the laptop, nor can I move the existing DroidSansFallback.ttf file anywhere else from the Fonts folder on the phone. So what to do now?
Just a piece of info which might be useful for you : My phone has KE8 Kernel, is rooted but reverted back to original kernel to remove the yellow triangle.

To alter any system files you need to set to R/W(read/write) if you keep it at read only you cant alter anything.(its designed as a protection)
On the top R/H conner of root explorer there is a button to set it to R/W or RO.
Hope this helps you.

To add to what @iznee has mentioned....
do the following:-
copy the droidhindi.ttf anywhere in the phone memory(after preferably creating a folder).. this doesnt need root explorer...just a file copy from the laptop should be enough... (you said you can see sdcard folder right ?... copy the file there)
i am guessing so far you have not used root explorer for anything else than browsing system files..else you wont be asking the question...
so first things first you have to provide root access to the root explorer app else you would not be able to provide it with r/w access...
install a free app superuser and give the root access allow to root explorer...
follow what @iznee has mentioned above
then follow what i advised in my first reply to this thread
@Iznee : "To alter any system files you need to set to R/W(read/write)".....this is what I had missed! Thanks a ton, your post was very helpful.
@woodstock_ahem : Thanks, Woody! Once I was able to change the option to r/w......rest was easy. Replaced the .ttf like you said. Now opening some hindi sites to test whether it works. And voila! it works! Thanks again to both of you
But one minor hiccup has occured. I've lost the Original DroidSansFallback.ttf file I'll tell you how. I had moved the original file to my sdcard>android folder. The original was a 4.5 MB file but it was showing as a .nomedia file with 0 bytes. So I thought let me move it to my Data Folder inside the Android folder from where I intended to transport the original file to my laptop, where I thought it would be safer. Till I moved the original file to my Android folder inside sdcard, the file was showing as normal (DroidSansFallback.ttf), but as soon as I moved it from there to my Data folder inside the Android folder it turned into a .nomedia file with 0 bytes! And when I moved it back to the android file it was still showing as a .nomedia file with 0 bytes.
So does this mean that Samsung is not allowing us to move the Original DroidSansFallback.ttf file outside the phone? I hope I will never need the original file as the file I replaced it with is working fine, but just in case I need it......now I don't have the original
Just as you got the droidhindi.ttf from the web you can get the lost file...you would also get it back when you update the next released firmware..or reflash ROM...plenty of ways...no big deal...this would be a learning point for you...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Ya, no big deal that I lost the original as the new one is working fine, so I won't miss the original. But my question was this.......does this mean that we cannot move system files of the phone outside the phone? How did the file change its filetype to .nomedia and its filesize to 0 bytes from 4.5MB?
i had not elaborated on how to copy a file from the phone memory to the computer assuming that is too simple to write about it...
i dont see any problem here...the learning point for you is..always...always create a new folder for taking backups...and not just move a file into a systems library..
this equates to dowloading a music file into c:\windows\system32\data as an example...why not have a separate folder for it..
i have taken a copy of DroidSanFallback.ttf into a new folder created in both Sdcard phone folder as well as into a folder created into external_sd (which is a separate physical sd card)...
can move it back and forth to/from computer without issues...
this will work for any kind of file..any extension...
so there is no issue here...
Hello,
I have been the happy owner of a SGS2 for 3 months and the recent need of having an external USB (for the moment, Bluetooth will come later) external keyboard connected to the USB/OTG port. So I bought a keyboard, connected it, and it worked like a charm !... except for the layout which cannot be configured in something else than QWERTY.
So I started my search of a way to change the layout and I found several ways, one of which seems to work well : changing the .kcm.bin and .kl files in /system/usr/keychars and /system/usr/keylayout directories.
I rooted my phone, installed the android sdk and started to adb push and pull several files, and heres come my question : for an external usb keyboard, WHICH .kcm.bin and .kl files are to be modified in a french SGS2 ?
If it is possible, I would like to keep the qwerty.kcm.bin original file intact. I tried to modify a qwerty2.kcm.bin that was there, without success. Is there a way to add a layout, and tell the system to use it for any external USB keyboard ?
Thanks for your answers.
All right, now I'm desperate... I even changed the qwerty.kcm.bin file, and it still didn't work... In fact I changed every possible kcm file present in the keychars directory, along with its corresponding .kl file in the keylayout directory... no success. I'm really wondering which file can be modified or added to let an external keyboard have its layout changed...
Any idea ?
What ROM do you use?
