Hi,
I upgraded my x7500 to AP 4.0 yesterday.
I have an azerty keyboard but since I upgraded to AP 4.0 I only can get QWERTY layout on the physical keyboard (ie : when I type on "a" I get a "q").
How can I change that?
I searched on many posts, I couldn't find the registry tweak...
Thanks a lot and congrats to the AP Team

I believe that you have to changed the kbdhid.dll file but not sure as i have never tried
doo you know where this file is?
you just need to create this key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 2040c
should the type be "string" ?
'cause it doesn't seem to work. I'm still in QWERTY mode...
no one's got an idea?
If it's 2040c, that's usually a dword....
it dosn't work with dword. only string.
in any case it has no effect on my kbd layout.
it's a real pain in...
did I miss something?
Ok, if anyone has the same problem :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 2040c
This works BUT it has to be done from a reg edit on the ppc, not on the computer.
I really don't understand why but when I tried to do it from a computer, it told me it was an incorrect value for a DWORD...
From the ppc it was ok

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.

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.

I'm also interest in your question: I want to use a Spanish Keyboard with a WME ROM because special characters ?&%/().....doesn't work (Like you).
I had this problem in the past and solved it with a great program called AE Software AEKMap (ask me if interested)
But I'm sure that cockers can help us because if I use a Spamish ROM, the Spanish keyboard works perfectly, so I'm sure that there must be a key Reg to change it.
BR.
THX
...but I must to use original ROM, becouse do not exist ROM in me language.
One way for reason this problem (IMHO).
User can define national letters in WM device via file sym.txt or sym0409.txt located in Windows folder. This files is simply txt files an user can change it for instance via Notepad. Unfortunatelly this letter is activated via SYM key on HW keyboard of mobile device. In USB host mode user use classic PC full size keyboard without SYM key.
Can some cocker help us?
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
swedish hardware keyboard x10 mini pro
Noob here,
CynaNoComb 1.4 installed on x10 mini pro, can't get the HW keyboard to work with se-fi, tried both http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982341 (3.3) and other suggested solutions.

Stuck here, thanks for any help, (and sorry if posting inapropriate, haven't fully figured out the structure of xda.)
regards,
Edit solved:
downl es file explorer
start esfe go to manage / security check both root and /sys as wr

Hi,
Im working on custom rom for a Android TV settop box and I need help. I have original rom from chineese manufacturer and that ROM work just fine. When I boot device for the first time its input language (on onscreen kayboard) is Hebrew. Device UI and all messages are in English language, except hebrew keyboard.
I can later change to US in Settings, but I need to make ROM which have US input language from FIRST BOOT. Where is those settings initially stored? I have all tools to unpack original ROM and I can access to all apps in /system/apps.
Does anyone knows how to change initial language input?
