Hi,
In the office I have a qtek 9000 spanish version (spanish keyboard). I have upgraded to O2 english rom. Everything is fine but the keyboard. Some specials keys (colon, semicolon, etc) doesnt match keyboard because the rom "thinks" my keyboard is an "english keyboard". Is there any way to change it? maybe remapping the scan codes? may be applying a pach)?
Thanks
Was just looking into this...
I was just checking the other forums on this and came across some interesting posts in the wizard section on remmapping keyboard by way of a reg edit. Here is the data pertaining to the wizard. You can probably do the same with the Universal. CREDIT GOES TO OAINOT for this.
Now we need a small registry hack.
1. Use a registry editor like total commander.
2. Go to \HKCU(HK Current User)\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale.
3. Change the value of the key "Locale" from "0809" to "0407". "0407" is the locale ID for Standard German. You can find other Locale ID suitable for you at: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx.
4. Do a soft reset and enjoy. All the keys and symbols have fixed right.
Try this.
I found this info by doing a forum search for "QWERTZ" (the german keyboard layout).
Good Luck and let me know how it goes.

Does anybody have the registry entry at HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Terminal Server Client/ for the Keyboard layout for a QWERTZ keyboard from the UK? I have an english ROM on a Mini S and need the original registry key so the keyboard is mapped properly.....
Also looking for this!
I have the same issue, and am also on the lookout for a solution. Will let you know if I find anything. And I know there are several others who are in the same situation too...!
try this http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
:wink:
So i bought myself an o2 mini xda s - Wow it ran like a dog when i first got it. So i updated the rom with the latest imate ROM, after first unlocking the device. Works great, superrr fast!
However now my keyboard is mapped wrong. Physically on my "A" key i have also the "!" on "S" i have the "@". Now, after ROM update, pressing "!" will give me "~" pressing "@" gives me "!" - everything is shifted right one.
I was pointed at the shareware app AEKmapp, but its another app that has to load, and i dont like that. Its also not free, is there another solution to restore my keyboard?
i had this problem as well. The O2 mini S is a ENGLISH (UK) qwerty keyboard which is actually physically different from the K-Jam and 9100 keyboard. I have been using the registries tweak program in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725 which allows you to choose a UK or US keyboard layout. I assume there is a registry edit for it somewhere as well. but this is a good way to solve it as well.
Thanks for the thought of why the keyboard 'dot' characters are messed up. Here are the registry changes ....
16. Keyboard language
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
Key: Locale (string)
Value: 0809 English UK
0409 English US
0407 German
0419 Russian
040C French
0410 Italian
040A Spanish
Thanks to "nicodekker" for publishing the list of hacks in the link above.
i had the exactly the same problem as ferrerpheonix. now everything is ok. thank you very much guys.
My O2 XDA Mini S has a QWERTZ keyboard layout, and the WM software uses QWERTY layout, thats why whwn I type using the keyboard, Ive always misused the Y with the Z, and vise versa. Also the symbols are all rumnbled into places. Is there a way I can use the QWETZ layout using the english WM, because I believe that the QWERTZ layout maybe compatible to WM German version. (I dont understant german, so I need the english version). Please help, because I dont think I can do anything with the physical layout of my keyboard so I just need a modification with the software.
you need to edit the keyboard language in the registry. the default is 0409 for english. im not sure what the german one is, but check the wiki, i'm sure you can find out some more info in there.
look at the next post, i figured it out
-Nstefanelli-
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0407
You have to edit the registry, you need to change it from 0409 to the above.
Good luck.

Hi. I'm not able to safe any keys in the registry.
Done and rebooted. Edit was gone.
Maybe issue with my Registry editor?
I use the german keyboard as well. The easiest solution to that is the Registry wizard
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Upload/cabs/RegistryWizard_PPC.ARMV4.cab
There you just change the keyboard to German and done with it.
As to the other, you should always wait a couple of minutes before reboot, looks like it actually take some time for the system to write it back into the registry.
In addition, it's moire than just the one key to change.
Bye
In here any simular cab like this, but for Czech qwertz keyboard?
Thanx in advance!

But this location is not working for me
I have the same problem again....
This fix worked for me with wm5 but I just upgraded to wm6 and kb went to qwerty mode (the hardware is a qwertz).
I tried adding the above-mentioned key to the recommended location, and it did not work (that key does not initially exist on wm6).
I also found two keys: \\\registry\hkcu\keyboard layout\preload\default, and \\\registry\hkcu\keyboard layout\preload\1\default, and both of them had e0010409 as the value. I changed them both to e0010407 and tried coldboot after each (one and then both) and it still doesnt thinks its a qwerty keyboard.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks -- AshayinFLA
Hello,
I would like to know whether it was possible to change the hardware keyboard QWERTY to QWERTZ ?
Do you know a website for detached parts for the HTC Shift ?
I'am the english version of the HTC Shift
Thank you very much.
Same problem here, any ideas?
if you want to change the keyboard layout you find here some registry hacks.
(if you use a english rom with german hardware keyboard layout)
or you want to buy a new hardware keyboard with german letters? maybe I have a contact to HTC in germany where I can order a new german or Swiss Keyboard..
I have already searched for registry tweaks, but none of these works for HTC Shift hardware keyboard.
Do you try that?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424136
Yes, but it does not work (on HTC official ROM).
hmm.. do you try with search function on registry editor (you can use the free total commander registry editor) to search for your at the moment installed language code (maybe 409??) and change all entrys that you found to 407?, then you do a soft reset..
same here, i am on a wizard. tried everything. its only new rom's!
Hi.
I have just installed the phone enabled rom. Everything is fine, but it is an english version. Actually I managed to switch everything from english to german EXCEPT the hardware keyboard. I have figured out the following keys in the registry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd (this is already known and does not seem to have any effect)
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout (this seems to activate one of the defined layouts in the 'Layout'-key)
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts
Could anyone, who has a german keyboard layout running, check what his/her entries in these three keys are?
If anyone has another solution for this issue, I would be happy to hear from you.
Thanks alot.
Don't know wether this is the solution, but there are lots of keyboard layouts listed in:
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Keyboard Layouts
The German Layout has the key number 00000407.
Maybe you only need to enter that number as value in:
HKU/Default/Keyboard Layout/Preload
Good luck

Hi
Thanks for your reply. The country code for German is known, I have tried that, but it caused some major problems including not working keyboards (not even the virtual keyboard). Only transcriber was still working.
That is why I thought the registry keys
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts
would have more effect.
If you look into the "layouts" you will find "00000409" which defines the US keyboard layout. There you will find a "Layout File" that is called "KbdNopALL.DLL" and another value called "Layout Text" containing the value "US". I was wandering if changing any of these keys would enable the QWERTZ layout of the keyboard. So if anyone that uses a QWERTZ Layout could check what settings there are in these keys (e.g. "Layout File" is the same, but "Layout Text" is "DE" or "GER"). Does anyone know anything about the "KbdNopAll.DLL"?
Looking into "00000409" I find the "Layout File" 'KBDUS.DLL' and the "Layout Text" 'US'.
By contrast in "00000407" the values are 'KBDGR.DLL' and 'German'.
I've scanned the whole registry but didn't find any KbdNopAll.dll-file on my German version Shift.
Hope I could help a bit.

hmm, maybe someone should make a Keyb.cab or REG file, that switch automaticly the right Language codes into registry.
I remember, that this issue comes up all new releases of a WWE ROM, I think there is the solution in some older posts ;-)
Anybody knows how to make a *.cab file or a Reg file for pocket PC´s?
If I know that, I can make a "batch" file for easy changing to german Keyboard layout ;-)
got it
i finally got it.
i had a false entry in
HKLM/hardware/devicemap/keybd/CurLang
the value 407 was entered in Decimal which results in a wrong Hexadecimal value. Now I have entered 407 as a hex value which equals 1031 in decimal. now the layout is correct.
damn complicated that is....
thanks for your help everybody

I've got the same problem with my German Treo 750. Hardware keyboard swaps z and y. I've changed all registry entries, but what I need is a kbdgr.dll to change the contents of my new created 00000407 to Layout File KBDGR.DLL and the Layout Text to German.
Has anyone got an idea where I could get this kbdgr.dll for WM 6.0?
I googled my fingertips bleeding, but only found the dll for xp - and I'm sure that this wouldn't work with my Treo.
Regards and thanks,
Reiner
Is there really nobody with a German Treo 750 to help me?
Regards,
Reiner
