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?
Hi there,
how did you change your keyboard layout? As there are so much methods to change it, how did you do it? I am wondering if my method is correct:
1) install CM6-latest (miniCM version) with all hotfixes
- Use the files from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982341
2) install CM7-ActivateSEKeyboard.zip
3) CM7-KeyboardUpdate.zip
4) german_underscore.zip
5) qwertz.zip
6) blacktheme.zip
7) wipe cache
8) reboot
9) set language again to german everywhere where it is possible
10) reboot second time
It seems everything works but:
- under certain circumstances sym menu freezes
- using andoid onscreen keyboard the hardware-keyboard is still qwerty
Either it's a bug to be fixed or I was doing something wrong. So I ask you:
- Did you recognize that, too and live with that?
- Or did you change your keyboard layout in another way and that works perfect and may you so helpful to tell me and others having my problem how!?
Thanks, guys.
If you want a QWERTZ keyboard, just change with root explorer's editor in system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml
THIS:
<script-name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-en"/>
TO
<script-name="latin" keylayout="qwertz"/>
Then save and reboot.
Temes
so if i get this right for azerty (got a dutch phone) i do
<script-name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-en"/>
TO
<script-name="latin" keylayout="azery"/>
???
will help allot

just tried it cause i couldn't wait and it works the other way around
TY
i still have issues. When I install the qwertz update I still not have the sym funktion to type "ä" or "ü" instead of these symbols i get "*" for typing sym+u. I already replaced the xml files but it didn't wokred.
Hi everybody, i've googled around for this problem withoud finding any solution.
How can i edit the files in system/usr/ to make the keyboard like the stock one?
Examples:
if i press the blue button ONCE it should write ONE blue character only. instead it messe everything up and i have to press it several times to get the letters working.
the sym button doesn't work in either way (accented letters if pressed simultaneously with the letter or symbols menu if pressed alone).
etc..
i found this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113863), but it didn't help, and i can't post in that thread to ask for help.
i've seen that italian language file is present in /system/usr/keyboard-config/languages, but how can i make the phone use ita.xml instead of what's using now?
EDIT: i've seen now that i've started the thread in the wrong browser tab, i wonder if a mod may move this to Q&A. i'm sorry
EDIT2: problem solved, i had to change the option in the settings menu. strange that 3 different keyboard input methods were activated, it makes no sense to me.
i'd recommend to stiky a warnig to this fact so no one will be looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist

more doubts..... help again
i am trying to get my old file as tells here:
you can browse an xrecovery file you already have and find the keyprint.xml , or find the keyprint.xml from an other rom you installed in /system/usr/keyboard-config and copy it to the sd card
with root explorer or any file manager that can explore your root
go to /system/usr/keyboard-config delete the existing keyprint.xml and paste the one on sd card
give the right permisions [x] [x] [ ]
____________________ [x] [ ] [ ]
___________________ [x] [ ] [ ]
(remember to mount write before you do anything on system)
reboot your phone
but i can´t cause it tells can´t find the file in CWM
i have ".img" files as backup done when i was with 2.1 android from SE.... i need to get the original HK file to test the tip... but i have no idea about how to get this now...
PLEASE HEEEEEEEEEEEELP
you sir, are a dedicated problem solver
i've added my stock rom keyprint.xml for you, hope that helps you
unzip that to sdcard and then just copy it over to the right system folder using root eplorer and setting the right permissions
---
As for the screen borders getting no touch input, the only cm7 version that wasn't the case with was minicm7-v14,5 by slade.
all other versions suffer from it
The symbol menu crashing when scrolling is a common froyo/gingerbread issue and can partly be solved with a workaround
if you go to cm settings > user interface and enable overscrolling and set it to bounce, the symbols menu in h/w keyboard won't freeze anymore. Except that doesn't work on the symbols menu in soft keyboard.
goodluck!

I am with GingerDX v5 ROM
1 - when i plug my phone to PC, so PC Companion asks for "choose between charging, connecting and etc..." but there is not the option in the phone screen to do it... what do i have to do to connect???
2 - i had sony android 2.1 and i did a backup using xRecovery so i could install another ROM ... so... after that i formated my sdcard... lost all... but before it i did a backup. So i have inside this backup a folder called xRecovery > backup > 2011-08-02.02.29.25 >
nandroid.md5
cache.img
data.img
system.img
so, my question is: "is there a way i can recover my old android 2.1 with this files??? Or did i lost all...???
and... how can i open this "files" so i can get HK files from old 2.1 i had????
I knoe i have a lot of questions, but i can help too... i think so...
hello guys... i am really ansioous for your help about my last questions.
But for now let me tell what i got.
I Unzipped GingerDX v5 and unzipped pt-br files.... so, i copied these files to Ginger ROM and deleted the original ones. So, i zipped GingerDX again.
So, i wiped all in CWM and reinstalled GingerDx using my zip.
No, it´s all working as before, but the difference is that i have my HK almost ok. Now i have the right keys unless for the SYM key i can´t do it working yet.
Please, do u guys have any ideas?
And need the "popup bar" that appears in android 2.1 when u use the HK... that bar where we can change language and see is the we r using the numbers, or "big letters (?)" or "small letters (? oh... sorry for the bad english)".
I saw something about it in the GingerDX v6 thread but i didn´t understood nothing cause they talk to people who knows about the programing... it´s not a pass to pass... so, can some good soul help me about all these problems????
PLEASE....
I´ll attach here the file i used to replace HK files in GingerDX v5... maybe it can help if somebody can have a look at it about the SYM key and the popup bar...
hope u give me a help guys , i have nobody to ask for....
Can anybody help?

Hi, I kinda solved the sym key by accident and i can't really tell how i did it but actually I just selected the keyboard i needed in mini rom manager and then i went into settings/keyboard and I unchecked all boxes.
After that I rebooted and I checked the boxes back and it worked. It may sound weird but the sym key works on my phone. I'm using paul's rom V4+hotfix.
Hope this will help you.
hey again,
to get the symbol button to work go to settings > select language and keyboard. in there deselect all keyboards (htc ime lo and android keyboard) but the one called "default input" that will give u the stock rom input with t9 in portrait and a symbol button in landscape.
also, to prevet the symbols menu from crashing, go to settings > cyanogenmod > interface, there set overscrolling to bounce back (any intensity)
waw... weird...

it´s really weird that issue about sym key you did, Chucklechivers. hehehe
But... i am trying to reproduce that "issue" auehaueh.
And Carpe-Dimi...
I just got a little problem, or two:
1 -i use Ginger DX v005 ROM, i installed Mini Rom Manager v.5.2 from Slade but when i try to change the HK layout it tells me it´s not compatible with my device. So i tried to change the build.prop file as people tell here in XDA so MRM should be compatible... ok, that´s working. But when i try to change the language of my HK nothing happens after reboot... no changes. And a lot of features of MRM can´t work properly
2 - when i access the language and keyboard setting to set default input, it doesn´t exist in my ROM... i just have 2 keyboard in the Ginger DX v005: HTC and Android... no other.
About the overscrolling... can i set elastic overscroll and bright? or does it just works only in simple elastic mode?
so... any ideas, guys??? i am still searching for answers... if i thind any... i´ll put it here...
it might be that MRM can't change keyboard cause of the new keyprint.xml file u've used, but I'm not certain about that. and not all functions of MRM work on all phones and roms either.
í've added an apk for the standard input. using root explorer copy that to system/app (on your phone, remember to set r/w) and give it the permissions rw-r--r-- (read+write for owner, just read for the other two)
reboot and u should be able to select default input from the settings menu.
bounce and glow will work as well
Hey guys,
since i use the Gingerbread Keyboard App for my X10 Mini Pro @ GingerDX v15, i need to replace the following files: "keyprint.xml" (german version), "qwerty.kcim.bin" and "qwerty.kl"
to use german letters.
The System notices the changes in the qwerty.kcim.bin-file, but it seems that it ignores those from th qwerty.kl-file. Y and z are still wrong. if i change them in the qwerty.kl nothing happens (set y to key 21 and z to 44). I have this problem nearly every time i update the Rom.
Permissions are set to RW-R-R.
I dont know what i did last time, but a few reboots did the trick or i dont know what...but after some time it changed to the right keys.
I used the ROM-Manager, but afaik it only changes the keyprint.xml which refers to the Standard-Input Method.
Can someone help me, please?
