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?
Hello,
I tried posting this to the development forum, however since it's my first post I ended up here, so I'm sorry if this seems a bit off topic. Anyway, hi and thanks for having me
Now, what I've been trying to do is load a (backed-up) stock Xperia X10 Mini Pro (U20i) 2.1.1.A.0.6 system.img into the Android SDK Emulator. The problem is I get a corrupted image like the one in the screen shot, here:
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/32/u20iscreen.png
I'm not sure what's causing this, I can only guess that it's a bad screen configuration parameter, so I hoped someone here might have the solution.
I know it's not the system.img, cause I've tried several of them and ended up with the same results, and it's not my OS/SDK/... setup, because without the system.img the emulator works fine.
Here's my avd config:
Code:
hw.dPad=no
hw.lcd.density=160
hw.camera.maxHorizontalPixels=2592
hw.cpu.arch=arm
sdcard.size=512M
hw.camera=yes
hw.gpu.enabled=yes
hw.touchScreen=yes
skin.path=platforms\android-7\skins\QVGA
hw.keyboard.lid=yes
hw.keyboard=yes
hw.lcd.depth=16
hw.ramSize=176
hw.sensors.magnetic_field=yes
hw.sdCard=yes
hw.mainKeys=yes
hw.accelerometer=yes
hw.lcd.height=320
skin.name=QVGA
abi.type=armeabi
hw.audioOutput=yes
hw.trackBall=no
hw.camera.maxVerticalPixels=1944
hw.battery=yes
image.sysdir.1=platforms\android-7\images\
hw.audioInput=yes
hw.sensors.orientation=yes
hw.gps=yes
hw.lcd.width=240
vm.heapSize=24
So, do you see anything wrong with this? Maybe the LCD parameters are wrong? I really don't know
Anyway, ask if you need any more info and thanks in advance
Partially solved
Well, after another hour of trial and error I managed to get it working
Setting the resolution to 320x480 fixed the graphics corruption problem and, although stretched, the emulated screen is now usable. Also, setting the LCD density to 320 really improved the image.
For my purposes (safely testing themes) this is close enough, but I would really appreciate it if someone found the right way of doing this.
Here's the working adv config in case anyone needs it. I'll keep trying, but please let me know if you find the correct screen parameters.
Code:
hw.lcd.density=320
hw.dPad=no
hw.camera.maxHorizontalPixels=2592
sdcard.size=512M
hw.cpu.arch=arm
hw.camera=yes
hw.gpu.enabled=yes
