Hi all
I've watched the noob video on registration and I'm a little afraid to ask but here goes...
Wife recently bought Xperia Ray. Wife hates QWERTY keyboard on landscape view but likes everything else about handset. Is it at all possible to make the selected portrait keyboard (in this case phonepad / T9) appear in landscape mode also? Have googled and searched on market to no avail. Was advised to post my Q on here by a slightly more tech-literate, but still puzzled, friend.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions and / or tips.
Cheers
Go to Settings>Language & Keyboard>International Keyboard>Portrait Keyboard> Select Phone pad. It is available on my Xperia Mini (ST15i)
hi
thanks for that but what I'm after is whether it's possible to change default qwerty text input in landscape mode to t9 style entry.
cheers
There is a root app that does that, it's called: Keyboard Manager
Thanks for that.
Any idea where I can find a relatively noob-friendly tut / walkthrough on how to root a Ray? Drivers seem to be an issue, find the USB / ADB nomenclature of them very confusing... which would I need?
Cheers in advance

Go to Ray developement, there should be some guides on how root with unlocking bootloader. As I am on my phone right now, I can't post links, so search there.

Anyone can help me? How to change QWERTZ hardware keyboard into QWERTY? Is there any easy method? What software do I need to do this?
2 Solutions:
1. Language and keyboard settings> International Keyboard > Writing languages> select English
2. (if rooted): there is a way you can access the keyboard layout, explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224511
Sorry if this isn't of help, just a noob but giving it a go to help
Joe
Thank You, but
1. it is doesn't work
2. I'm scared to root, it's a new phone and I'm biggest noob ever Maybe there's another way?
I have MiniCM7-2.1.8 on my X10 mini pro, and now I am stuck finding the correct way to enable the QWERTZ keyboard layout for the Standard and Android input method including the special German characters.
slade87's thread gives some (although quite confusing) info, but the files for download are not working any more, because they are based on the old update-script-style not supported by CWM any more.
It should not be that hard to perform such an important localization, most solutions only manipulate the keyprint.xml, but that's not enough.
So can someone please explain how to get fully localized QWERTZ keyboards for the German language up and running?

Use the application mini rom manager ... Search in xda..
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
Ok, switched to QWERTZ using ROM Manager, but as I already knew, this only switched it for the Standard Input, but not the Android Input.
I have seen in slade87's thread, what has to be done, to switch the Android Input, but I don't know how, since the downloads in slade87's thread do not work any more with recent CWM, and I really do not want to fiddle around in the ROM manually.
Any suggestions, or do just have to forget about the Android Input?
I´m going to "fix" my dad´s phone tomorrow so stand by until then..
Thanks, that's good news! I am very interested in how this problem can be solved.

hi i have the same problem.
any news?

use attached files and override old files using root explorer.
IMPORTANT: don´t forget to set correct permission for the files or your buttons will not work anymore.
Hello,
I have a xperia x10 mini pro and I have flashed CM1O-4.0.2 mimmi. But my hw keyboard does not work properly: special keys does not work, blue key does not work, and m is replaced by ",".
I have searched for a long time to find answers to this issue, but nothing works correctly (suggested upgrades or patches do not work...). These answered are a bit dated. Is there finally a way to fix this problem?
Thanks for your help

hey guys!
i just "refreshed" my Xperia MiniPro (SK17i) with the wonderfull Revolution ICS HD (Build 8.0) Rom...
after playing it for a while and setting up all my apps, i found out that there is no way to push the "earth" symbol on the hardware keyboard to change the writting language. It is just typing in English.
Under "Language & Input" settings my default onscreen keyboard is Xperia, and I can change without problem between my two preferred language layouts.
Any ideas to correct this problem?
thanx in advance

Flash the same or other keyboard via recovery .
hi again!
i noticed in the "ABOUT PHONE" settings some paranormal details , referring to baseband,
so i reflashed the original TFT, and then moved on to rooting and reinstall Revolution ICS.
this solved my problem.
thanx guys
Hey Guys,
i've a x10 mini pro with naa's miniCM Rom and of course his kernel.
But what i don't understand is why the hardwarekeyboard, especially the blue button and the layout (i need a german qwertz layout) dosen't work by default.
In an other thread i found a working solution with a zip i needed to flash. now my keyboard works as it should do, but i don't understand what the problem was.
And because i'm a nosy person i would like to understand what the problem is.
Is someone here able to explain it to me?
(An other reason for my question is, that i tried an other keyboard (called minuum) which i really liked. But when i installed it and set it as default, my hardware-keyboard stopped to work correct. So i need a workaround so i can use both the [link "h t t p://minuum.c om/"]minuum-keyobard (@admin: if it's not allowed to post likes, please remove it) as a screen-keyboard and my hardware-keyboard (with the correct layout and with blue (and the other 'special-key-button') )
Thanks
