Sorry for posting here, but, since I'm a new member, I can only post on development forums after 10 posts. So, I'm going to report this here..
On "Cyanogen Gingerbread CM7 Final Sources" rom for mini pro, has anyone noticed, especially on v13, that the hardware keyboard keys 'z' and 'y' are swapped?
Is that expected (maybe it's configured for another keyboard layout for default)?
Is there a way to fix that?
If not, can someone report this on his [rom] thread?
Thanks
Read the CM7-Dev-Thread, there is more than on solution, especially the first thread
by the way, this not a bug. The dev comes from germany, there is a QWERTZ-Keyboard usual
bye
Flash this...http://www.mediafire.com/?76v76qa7ajb54b8
Oh, that was so obvious that I'm ashamed of my question...
Thanks for the help guys!
flashed the .zip today on my gf phone. Using the standard input solves the problem, but, she wanted to continue using the android input (she hates the SE keyboard) and have the right layout on her hardware keyboard ('y' being 'y', 'z' being 'z' and not having the specific german letters mapped to blue/sym keys).
I think that could be done flashing any of the hardware layouts on the thread, but I couldn't find any english layout on there (brazilian portuguese could work too). Someone knows where to find one? Or another approach I should try?

I bet you have a Touch Pro and the keyboard is setup for a fuze. Go into settings and look around and you will find an app that will change the keyboard layout for you!
sorted thanks, i feel stupid lol.
Next time, post the rom question in the rom thread instead of creating a new thread.
THREAD CLOSED
Hi,
First, again, sorry for posting it here. Still don't have permission to post on development forums (need 10 posts to do that).
I was looking for an English Keyboard Layout for CM but I couldn't find one on the thread. So, I downloaded the German (the one without specific german letters mapped to blue/sym keys) and started hacking on it a little..
Well, I could swap Y and Z keys, but then I had to press blue+Z to enter number 3. I tried changing another things too without any success.
Is there anyone who can help me accomplish this things:
- Important things:
1- Fully swap Y and Z letters, letting me enter number 3 pressing Z.
2- My comma ',' key prints an apostrophe. I wanted to make it print comma.
- Not so important:
3- Make blue+C who actually has an apostrophe on it prints an apostrophe (that's not so important because I'm brazilian. We don't use apostrophes to much in here =P. And it's my girlfriend's phone, she is 99% of the time typing portuguese =P)
What can help, maybe, someone who provides a layout there, can point me where to find the original keychars.kcm. The update.zip comes with this file in a binary format, making it difficult to change =/
I have the same problem with keyboard, but I can use with this problem.

Hi,
My phone is Xperia Mini Pro. A few days ago I switched to CM9, the difference is huge, everything comes faster, smoother generally better, because anyone who is considering the change I suggest to move as soon as possible!
But this is not what this post was to be in CM9 default standard keyboard with Android. The most I miss T9 keyboard layout, a notice on the status bar (or typed text 'will be introduced from a large or a small letter', and that the normal characters or special characters [the blue button on the keyboard physical]) or it can be simply zbackupować with stockowego ROM CM'a and move on? If not, it is certainly a different way.
I also tried to copy the stockowego textinput-tng.apk to /system/app and chmod 644 it, but does not work, also tried to copy the files from the stock rom on CM9:

unfortunately to no avail, I know that this subject was already discussed in this forum, on the other also but did not find any specific solutions.
Can I have someone that has adapted keyboard from stock rom for CyanogenMod 9? Thanks in advance for your help, besides, I think not only me that is useful.

The same for me with Mini Pro.. Also, I cannot find a way to have word completion enabled with the physical keyboard, so I always have to type the whole words. Also accented letters are a lot faster to type if the word completion is available, as long-pressing a letter sometimes does not work. Finally, also the "world" key (which I often use in the original rom to change input language) is not working with the normal Xperia S keyboard I found in another thread. Naturally, that is beacuse the Xperia S has no physical keyboard =)
I am planning to follow your path of copying some files from the original rom, but I don't think it will be so simple =(
Has anyone found a solution?
Unfortunately I have not found it. In this forum, and the other is a lot of posts on this issue but no solution. ;/
I have found this thread on a new rom based on the stock ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852916
At the second post, the author links to a "mini pro stock keyboard": we could try that and see how it goes!
I will try this week end and post the results =)

The sym key you can not have working if you are on a cyanogen mod rom. It just does not work, its not apart of the textinput app. The other two, why do you need them? That works good doesn't it?
what about SWYPING?

Hi, I update this thread because i have the same problem.
Is there a way to have the stock xperia mini pro keyboard working on FXP138 CM9??
Now I'm using xperia S keyboard, but it doesn't have the symbol on the status bar and you can not tell if you are in normal or special characters.
I've tried to flash stock xperia mini pro keyboard, but it doesn't work and spoil the gsm!
Help please!
Otherwise, is there a keyboard on the market that is 100% working with physical keyboard of xperia mini pro?
Thanks in advance

any news?
I'm also looking for the stock keyboard.
xperia pro (sk16i) with cm 9.
currently use smart keyboard. Work quite well. But if i use hardware keyboard sometime the key indicator (shift or FN) doesnt work with every apps (eg. messaging)
I also tried "Xperia S keyboard.zip" from some post before, with out any effect.
I think there is no way to get working keyboard app for the physical keyboard on CM9 and CM10. Sooo saaaaad
I think...
This might be it (although minimal chance of autocorrect for HW-keyboard really working)...
Stock Xperia S keyboard port for CM9
I am backing up my phone as we speak, getting ready to flash CM9 and this keyboard... If it works I will report back (I'll report back regardless, but gimme a day for testing).
[EDIT]
Works, but now I realize this is as reported in many other places; SYM-key IS working but the menu it brings up is different, T9 for portrait-layout works, blue alt-key and CAPS indicator not working as well as no auto correction. Still better than after initial install but not good enough...
Good afternoon everyone.
I've recently installed on my Xperia Mini Pro the new Cyanogenmod 9.1.
It's more than brilliant but lacks of a very important feature... I'm not able to use the onscreen t9 and the hardware keyboard has not spellcheck or autocomplete feature.
for the first problem, i've solved with a zip flashable file containing xperia S keyboard and i managed to have t9 keyboard in vertical and qwerty keyboard in landscape, with a perfectly working autocomplete and spellcheck...
But when i use hardware keyboard I hate I cannot have the spellcheck or autocorrect, because italian is very reach in stresses and it's disappointing using a long press key every time i have to strees a vowel... with the stock rom i just typed the word and it got corrected automatically.
Also, the sym key shows me just symbols and would be great to have all the smiles back like in the original firmware.
I've found a system folder from 4.0.4 original firmware of Xperia mini pro [SK17i_system_folder_4.1.B.0.431.rar if u wanna google it] so I would be able to post here all the keyboard files that could add the original t9, autocomplete and spellcheck both of on-screen keyboard (so we don't have to use the Xperia S files) and expecially for hardware keyboard...
Can anybody help me?
I want to stay with Cyanogenmod 9, but if I dont find a solution i will be forced to go back to 2.3.4 to have the original keyboard back
Thank you so much for help!
Hello there, I had the same problem as you but luckily I found a solution to that problem.
I can't attach the .zip cause it's too large, but here is the link to the thread containing the keyboard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725050
Look for "Xperia S ICS keyboard", download it, flash it via CWM, select in settings, voila you have a T9 keyboard that should satisfy if not all, some of the things you were looking for.
It works on my SK17i CM9.1 100%
Press thanks if this helped you.

i had already tried this file but it's not what i'm looking for because does not allow me to use autocomplete on the physical keyboard.
it would be the best if somebody could do that kind of file with original Mini pro keyboard (onscreen and physical)... it would make CM9 the perfect rom...
Thanks, i like the Keyboard a lot! Works almost 100%

Hello to everyone in this forum.
I have the same issues. I'm Italian too.
The same here in germany. Swiftkey has a nice replacement feature, but it misses swipe in vertical mode. It would be nice to be able to change keyboard depending of HW-Keyboard status. If Keyboard is out, use Swiftkey, if its in, use Xperia-Keyboard. maybe this could be solved with Tasker, but I didn't test right now.
edit: I tested with tasker and needed an external plug in, - It worked! but this solution doesn't make me happy as Swiftkey cannot handle the extra keys like ? and ' right.
+1
does anyone have a proper fix for the hardware keyboard on the Xperia Mini Pro, Including the symbol and globe keys?
thanks
Maybe we need a porting from the original stock rom. Is there any way to extract the files from the original rom? I also tried to backup the original keyboard with Titanium but I fail
Same issue here.
I am italian, too.
For a language as ours, it's very important having predictive text in hard keyboard.
Is there any workaround?
Please reply!
I've tried some keyboard's apps but no one satisfied 100%
Thanks.
Any news?
Any workaround? What keyboard do you use at the moment? :cyclops:
I use Swiftkey, but I'm not satisfied 100% yet.

this keyboard doesnt work properly on cm9.1 (wt19i)
only nice for the skin but when i use it for tying it adds extra letter on the last typed word is you press space
for example if i would type in google "what is the time in brussels" it becomes "whatt timee iss itt inn brusselss"
anything new?
I currently try SwiftKey Flow beta? With swipe. IT seems to. Have. IT all

Hey Developers!
why doesn't anybody port the original xperia mini pro keyboard from the original ICS rom? and put it into a flashable zip. i don't think it would be a hard job after these grate roms. :good: it would solve all the problems ))

yes... it's a real pity that there is still NO solution for that problem
THIS is a simple but the ONLY reason because I can't handle with cyanogen.... i'm a great fan of this project but i really miss the keyboard (which is a must for a mobile like mini pro)... so I'm still so sad that nobody was able to fix this problem ALL the mini pro user have
I think i'm on the right way to use the keyboard but i still need some help from experienced developers.
I've managed to install the keyboard but still it crashes.
I dumped all the system folder from the lastest Mini Pro firmware (4.0.4 built 567 if I remember well) in a zip and installed from recovery all the files related to some keywords (used the search function of a mac).
I've used
- key
- keyboard
- input
- text
- emoticon
- emoji
- qwerty
- font
- slide
and something like that (I can't remember all the keywords but i think they are all)
Anyway as i wrote before when i turn on the keyboard it keeps crashing without even starting (i can never see the keyboard on screen and with the slide keyboard).
I think it's great i managed to install but i have not the right experience to know what files are missing or are disturbing the keyboard...
Does anybody have a clue? (unfortunatly i cannot post this post in the developer rooms)
I will attach soon the zip file i'm testing on Cyanogen mod 9.1.
(I've added TrackId to see if the installation process was ok, just while developing this zip file)
Tell me what, according to you, would be good to add for the keyboard
Have you set all permission properly? Because if not it can't work. And you would have to take the textinput-tng.apk (not sure how it's named) from /system/app
But I don't know if this will ever work, I hope so :good:

Hello, im asking a question for someone else who is a lawstudent.
She has a S3 and is wondering if there are any downloadable keyboards who has the paragraph sign (§). Apparently the stock one doesnt seem to have one.
If someone can check their keyboards please let me know.
SwiftKey doesn't have it, if it helps
i think the paragraph sign is this one: ¶ .
anyways i don't have both "§" and "¶" at smartkeyboard pro.
your solution should be A.I.type Keyboard which suppports those signs:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aitype.android
Hackers keyboard has this ¶
if you can settle on ¶ alone @slaphead20 gave you a perfectly correct answer and go keyboard also has this so you can have other options
if not the only one i noticed is A.I as i mentioned
Ok.. Many thanks fellas..
