[SOLVED] SE Xperia X10 mini pro with GingerDX v21b - "Sym" key not working properly
I've looked for a solution o a similar question, but i think there isn't another post about this issue. It's my first post about a problem I can't solve, although I have used this ROM since version v009 (good job, devs!), because I fixed all other problems (e.g. keybord lights and notification leds) thanks to questions sent by others o tips found on forum.
This time, upgrading from a previous version of GingerDX for SE Xperia X10 mini pro (I think v013) to the newest v21b, the "Sym" key (that one on the right) doesn't work properly, but it just do the same action of the blue key on the left, whereas the "Sym" key should show the symbols menu on screen or the alternative characters (holding down the "Sym" key and typing a letter). I don't remember if this problem affected the previous versions, but I'm unable to solve it now. I tried to wipe cache and Davlik cache (in addition to factory reset) before re-flashing the ROM and I tried also to switch between the two keybords (Android and HTC) which are pre-installed, but nothing happens and the behaviour of the phisical keybord is the same, with no change.
Could anybody help me to solve my problem? I like this ROM so much so I don't want to change.
Thanks in advance and thanks a lot to the developers who worked on this ROM
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English.
I usually disable the 'android keyboard' and any other installed keyboards, ensure that 'default input' remains checked. Thats the only way I can find to keep the Sym key working as it should.

I'm sorry, but I can't find the option 'default input', where is it?

Thanks for the reply.
I already tried it, but 'Input method' shows only the two keybord i said in the first post... 'Default Input' is disappeared. -.-"
Is there anybody who use this version of GingerDX?
As far as I know GingerDX v21 don't have default input added

But in old versions the "Sym" key has always worked properly... Could you say me how to add this "default input" (if there is a way to do it), please?

You need to download this file from atachments and flash it via CWM or xRecovery.
This is file from 1st post of rom that you are installed.
After you flash this file, you can select default input.

Thanks a lot. It solved my problem!
I read it, but it says "Optional for default keyboard - with this you'll get rid of language bar on default keyboard", nothing about adding the default keybord

Yeah, and the only "problem" is that you can't see language bar. But that's not a problem

Language bar disappeared? problem? what problem?! That's not a problem at all Thanks again!
Do I have to do backup of my phone?
Does applying of optional default keyboard erase data? (I really want to get rid of this stupid language bar..)

Don't worry, it doesn't affect your data Do a backup for security (it's always a good thing, but it is not necessary)

Hi!
I have the same problem. But multiupload.com is down, so I can't download the default keyboard fix.
Could anybody be so kind and reupload it somewhere else?
Thanks and regards

Sounds like the German keyboard is activated. The position of z and y are switched for German keyboard layouts. Go into language & input, and check what language the keyboard is set to.
Hi All,
Can anyone provide me update.zip for changing keyboard. I am on MiniCM7 with nAa kernel. I need any keyboard or Sony Ericsson keyboard so that on-screen as well as physical keyboard should work fine. With android keyboard selected...one can not access special characters on physical keyboard with bottom right key named "Sym". Every time one has to change the default input for accessing symbols and special characters with physical keyboard.
There may be some thread regarding this but I am not able to get what to do.
Please help.
Thanks.

Sorry friend, but i have the same problem. I have flashed this but the x10 mini keyboard lower buttons doesn't working. I've read that the only method to solve this problem is the rotation of the screen and this will be fixed. But if i haven't set automatic rotation?? Is there another effective method to solve this problem??

Scroll slowly to the bottom of the symbols section, don't fling it, just do the last bit with your finger on the screen, it won't freeze.
Hi,
I just upgraded a galaxy s3 I9300 to stock rom 4.3, and there is a problem with the keyboard.
The problem is that it doesn't let the user change input language (in this case between Hebrew and English).
I search all over the settings, and nothing helps.
There should be an option to change input language by swiping the space button...
Am I missing someting here ?
