1. Install the registry editor like Total commander ( http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.exe ) or Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/downloads.asp ) to your Pocket PC
2. Open the program on your device and go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd].
3. Create New String Value (if you already dont have one with the name Locale)
4. Type in Value name: Locale
5. Type in Value Data: 0407 (as i have an german device. NOTE: You've to look in the "LCIDHex" column on this site: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx for fourther area codes)
6. Close the window by clicking on Ok
7. Exit the program
8. hold your powerbutton for a few seconds until you'll be asked if you really want to switch your device off, click on YES
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RESET DEVICE WITH STILUS BY PRESSING RESET BUTTON
9. Turn on your device and it should work.

This method does not work on my AKU2.3 ROM (the "Mr Clean" ROM). My local Qtek distributor has a CAB available that changes the keyboard layout to Swedish - that fix worked on the older ROM versions but all it does now is to inactivate all the buttons on the Wizard (!).
So I really need to find a way of setting the keyboard to Swedish on my WWE ROM.
Any ideas?

Sym Key not working? Here's the solution...

Okay, this prob got me for some hours:
I updated my Universal from German ROM to latest (original) WWE ROM. After that, I tried all known hacks to put the hardware-keyboard to QWERTZ instead of QWERTY.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale=0407
HKCU\keyboard layout\Preload\Default=e0010407
HKCU\keyboard layout\Preload\1\Default=e0010407
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty\Layout=0x20407
Unfortunately, after that, the SYM-Key wasn't working.
Now after trying various things and thinking a lot, I guess I have the answer.
It seems to be important that the first 3 values don't get changed. The Qwerty\Layout is the locale for the hardware keyboard driver and if you change the locales for WM5, too, I guess the scancodes get converted once more and so the SYM-Key doesn't work. After changing the first 3 registry keys back to 409, now everything works fine.
Cheers,

I did similar modifications to my registry to make it work well with my italian keyboard and I ended with the same problem: the SYM key doesn't work.
I'll try with your solution. Thanks for sharing it!

In your original Ext_ROM, there should be a file called Signed_GER_KB.CAB. Just run that, then the KB is back as it should be. No need to modify the registry. The sym key is controlled by the sym.txt file in your windows folder.

Dutch language XT9 with 16 key's

Can someone help me to install the xT9 Dutch on a HTC TOUCH DUAL 16 key version?
I tried several options and none works.
I have tried adding the Dutch Language pack, but I am not able to make it work cause the IME file hpd.5x4.Dutch.kdb is for the 20 key layout...
When I install the cab the hardware keyboard starts working like the 20 key keyboard.
If I set the language to Englisch, it works (XT9 and ABC), but I want to use the Dutch-libary.
Can some help me with this?

Here you can find the files and registry settings.
An more step by step instruction in dutch you can find here. With those settings I managed to get my Dutch xT9 working on my 16 keys Dual.
Good luck.

I've installed this CAB:

This afternoon I want to set the registry settings manually and copy the files you give.
Tnx!

The problem is changed, after I manually set the registry values and after I copy the files manually, I could only type numbers in Dutch.
If I set the language to English, all works fine, but if I set it to Dutch I can only type numbers (this is in xt9-mode and ABC-mode).
Anybody knows how to fix this?

HP iPaq HW6915 with UK ROM, need keyboard remapping

I will keep posting this question until some guru gives me some help
I have an iPaq 6915, was swedish, is UK ROM now.
I need the registry values to restore the accented characters on the keyboard.
Today when I press circle button + W I get @, but according to the hardware keyboard I am supposed to get ö.
If someone can tell me what values to put in the registry or make a .cab file for this I will be forever grateful
What I have done already:
Based on what was written in the Registry after a hard reset (would be the UK mapping), I have revised the values to the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"Locale"="041d"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]
"Default"="e001041d"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
"Default"="e001041d"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
"Layout"="132125"
I have then performed a soft-reset (small pin-hole) I have tried lowe case and upper case Of the 041d/D value.
the keyboard is still in UK layout!
What am I missing here??
Please please help me someone.

Would someone please please help!

A fellow Canadian !
I will look into this then, it seems that you would not need this for the people that ported German iPaqs (QWERTZ), I have read posts where they just change the values and perform a reset.
see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337975&page=13
But I will investigate why it does not work on mine more.

No such luck, the DLL's pointed out does not exist in my registry, not sure why.
The main thread is that all other languages are changed with updating the key values I specified.

How come the other ppl that converted their german, french, spanish SABLE can swap the keyboard layout by messing with the registry and not me?

I installed it and then performed a soft reset. (stylus in the bottom).
The keyboard is un-affected, but maybe you got my issue wrong?
On the HARDWARE keys in the QWERTY line, the keys read
Ä Ö € Æ Ø Å
Q W E R T Y
But when i press this I get
~ @ € % _ -
Q W E R T Y
So basically I have a swedish / eurpoean keyboard but an English Softlayout.
How can I change this? A new CAB perhaps?

reinstall then set power off for 10 sec (power button only)
now sr your device
the reg velue of eng is 409 and the cab set all location i know to this velue
if it dose not work you can always use afreeware called ae keyboard and map the keyboard to eng
if the off/sr didnt work 4 u sorry ... anyway good luck

Could you possibly make another CAB that set's the value to 041d as this is the value for Swedish, (at least this is what the table tells me).
Then I can try the method.

Crap, no changes. to sum up what I did.
1- Factory reset (UK Rom)
2- Install CAB 1
3- Press Off, wait at least 10 seconds
4- Press the reset hole with stylus
5- Once rebooted I open a notepad and try the special keys.
No change, CAB 1 or CAB 2.
is there a step I am missing.

Thanks, I will look at this as the alternative.
It really bothers be that I cannot change the keyboard layout by simply changing the registry keys like everyone else in this forum does.
Is there a secret trick to this>?
I mean I use a registry editor, edit the value, choose save, wait a few secs, perform a rest (stylus in rest hole) and it should take no?

WOW
Your Circle key is stuck most likely. Press the Circle key hard several times, if that doesn't work do a hard reset. If the problem continues, the you w this is not a software issue.

No, that's not it.
WHEN i press the curcle key and Q for example I am expecting a swedish character (since the keyboard itself is this) but I am getting what the UK hardware keyboard layout has.
I would therefore want to tell the iPaq that I have a euro keyboard.

Problem with language settings

Hi,
My LEO has english ROM and Its obvious that all of the apps and stuff is in english - and thats fine for me - i want it that way.
But when typing a message I would like my LEO to use polish language dictionary (useful to Spell Correction, to Word Completion
[XT9] and so on).
I know that it is possible to set different language for text input, but when I open the list of languages to choose from, I see: german, french, etc. but NO polish;/
Does anyone know how to deal with this? How to get polish lang on the list?

install a registry editor and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Tegic/eT9
click AvailableLanguages and add 0115 to the end of the value like:
0109,010C,0107,0110,010A,0115
then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Tegic/eT9/LdbFiles
and add a new String value named 0115 with a value of PLlsUN_xt9.ldb
then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Sip\LanguageKeyBoardIDMapping
and add a new String value named 0115 with a value of 0915
reboot your device...

It will be there CZ or SK too ?? ? ? Thanks CLEVER MAN ! !!

I think Slovak is 011B, SKlsUN_xt9.ldb, LanguageKeyBoardIDMapping 091B
but I haven't tried so I'm not sure..
Also not sure CZ is in there.. there's no .ldb file with CZ or something.. any ideas what it might be called? I think the code should be 0105.
if the ldb file is there it should be located in the windows folder

Thanks for help.
I followed Your guide but I still seem to have a problem.
I opend text editor right after rebooting my device. I set language to Polish, turned word prediction on and started typing. I entered 1 word and clicked space button to start typing second word. And from this moment my device is not responding (I had to perform restart). I tried it for about 5 times - always thesame reaction.
So I performed hard reset, set device language to Polish (previously i had English). When my Leo was ready I changed the registry according to Your instruction and restarted the device. From that moment my Leo is restarting all the time long. I had to remove the battery and do the hard reset to make it work again.
Do You know what could cause the problem?

I just checked to add Polish but it works perfectly for me.. maybe check your spelling with the .ldb file and check if the file is present in the windows folder.. is it an original ROM?
When you set your device to polish (multi language device??), did you check if the dictionary was maybe already there before you changed the registry? A polish device should have a polish dictionary standard you should say..

Well it works (wejdz w jakies pole textowe->klawiatura->trojkat przy klawiaturze->ust wprow texty->wlacz sprawdzanie pisowni) type kocham then press it to keep it save on word list then type koham and you should be able to choices between both words. Correct one will be at center in order to press space to accept(space soft key).
Unluckly you have to type words by your own to have it in xt9

It loock like not all language could be activatet.
I try to do that for Ukraine but no result.
