[GUIDE] [WW Users] Map the physical keyboard to function with the default Android 3.x - Eee Pad Transformer General

I definitely don't like the ASUS touch keyboard that we all have by default in our tablets. Uninstalling this keyboard means lose the keymapping of the physical keyboard .
You don't need to follow this guide if you have a US keyboard, because if you uninstall the ASUS keyboard the physical one will acquire automatically the US layout.
If you live in another country and you don't want to write with the american layout, then this is the guide for you .
We are going to map the physical keyboard in order to function with the Android 3.x one.
- Requirements -
Eee Pad Transformer TF101 non US model
*** ROOT access ***
Root Explorer (or an equivalent app that let you modify system files)
- Step by step guide -
Remove the tablet from its dock (necessary to avoid FCs)
Change the default input method to "Android Keyboard" (Settings -> Language and input -> Current input method)
Open root explorer and navigate to the /system/usr/keychars folder
Mount the folder in R/W mode (you have to read "Mount R/O" to do this)
Rename (longpress -> Rename) the file "asusec.kcm" to "asusec.kcm.old" (without quotations)
Go back to the /system/usr folder and open the "xt9" and then the "keychars"
Copy the file "qwerty-xx_XX.kcm" that corresponds to your keyboard language (longpress -> Copy)
Go back to the /system/usr folder and reopen the "keychars"
Paste the file in this folder
Rename the file that you pasted to "asusec.kcm" (always without quotations)
Reboot the tablet
Enjoy!!!
Now if you want you can safely remove the ASUS keyboard:
Open Root Explorer and navigate to the /system/app folder
Remember to mount the folder as R/W
Find the file "XT9IME.apk" and rename it to "XT9IME.apk.old" (w/out quotations)
Don't mind the FCs the system shows and reboot the tablet
Reopen Root Explorer
Navigate to the /system/lib folder
Check the R/W mounting
Rename the file "libjni_xt9input.so" to "libjni_xt9input.so.old"
Rename the file "libjni_xt9kcm.so" to "libjni_xt9kcm.so.old"
Reboot
Enjoy your free-from-ASUS tablet
All the credits for this last guide go to sirmx, who in his post pointed out the files to rename.

On the keyboard dock, there is a CTRL key on the left. Use this with the V, X and C key to paste, cut and copy.
You can use AnyCut to create custom app shortcuts using the search key.

Does anyone know if Ctrl+A will do select all? That's the fourth of the common cut, copy, paste shortcuts.

Once again, it works in a lot of apps, but not all.

Buttons to copy and paste operations

Hi all,
If you select a text block on the note edition page and you click on the screen, a contextual menu is displayed. This menu contains a option for copy the text block.
Other applications, by example the contextual menu displayed when updates the name of a file (via the file explorer) not contains this option
I'm searching for a application that includes two icons (copy and paste) at the top bar and capables to copy or paste text to or from the w2003 clipboard.
Exist's ??
Thank's
Almost: GSPocketMagic contains copy and paste functions.
V
thank's,
the related application contains a lot of features that not have interest to me.
i'm searching a simple application that make (only) the copy and paste operations.
offtopic: i'm using your vjdialer. great work!
regards
easy way is to use the normal windows shortcuts
Ctrl+C == copy
Ctrl+P == Paste
Ctrl+X == Cut
Ctrl+A == sellect all
it works just fine on the software keyboard
bartito: Check out phm key tools. I think they'll probably contain a copy/paste key, or even mort script a script for ctrl c /ctrl v.
Make a shortcut, put it on your smallmenu/gspocketmagic/wisbar type program, or assign to a hardware key. Should be good!

WM6 Pro modifying autocorrect.0409.txt

Customizing the autocorrection in WM6 has been done, but WM6Pro is a bit different. This is the "can't live w/out" feature for past BlackBerry owners which allows you to type something like "brb" in and email and have the system replace it with "I just stepped out, but will respond when i get back."!
Figgured out how to do this on WM6pro from the device itself. The easiest way is to use Total Commander (3rd party file explorer). WM6pro requires that the autotext.0409.txt file be saved in unicode. it also protects the file in 3 ways: it sets the ReadOnly bit; it sets the SystemFile bit; and it watches the file from boot to make sure you don't change/delete it, but it will allow you to rename it. After figguring this out, i came up with the following process to update it:
1) open Total Commander and navigate to and highlight the \Windows\autocorrect.0409.txt file
2) copy the file to the root folder
3) navigate Total Commander to the root folder and highlight the \autocorrect.0409.txt
4) in the properties of the file, turn the ReadOnly and System bits off
6) click the notepad icon at the bottom of Total Commander to open the file in notepad
7) make your changes to the file minding the required alphabetical ordering
8) save the file as a unicode text file with a slightly different name (autocorrect.0409new.txt)
9) copy or move the new file to the windows directory
10) rename the existing autocorrect.0409.txt file to autocorrect.0409orig.txt
11) rename the new autocorrect.0409new.txt to autocorrect0409.txt
12) reboot WinMobile6 Pro
13) if you want to clean up, you should now be able to remove the extra files we have created along the way.
items I added:
sm =
fr =
degs = [the degree symbol]
brb = I just stepped out, but will respond when i get back
ack = (sent from wireless device) I read your email and will respond as soon as I am able. Thanks!

very interesting, I'll give it a try !
thx for the tip !
1. Very useful and cool tweak, this will help me a lot! I am going to try and get it to work with dual languages and will report back, so for example I could type "CHbusy" and get "县在忙,一会儿给您回答“ to avoid having to change the SIP....great
2. THis will be a great prank, will wait until my bro leaves his phone unattended and go change things like "the=Nate, you are a jackass" it'll take him ages to figure it out!!

How to select file without executing that file?

Hello,
after days of searching and reading in the forum I have still following question:
when I select a file in explorer with my finger or stylus, it executes that file.
e.g. I installed youtube (the question is NOT about youtube, works fine thanks to the forum) and when I want to change the mui file with the language code, it execute the file resulting in an error. Then I close the app and so it returnes to the file and then I can rename it.
Same with picture files (opens picture and then I close it), mp3,.....all files
So my question is: can I just select a file (with my finger or the stylus) without executing it?
(I can select with the down button, but in a long list this is not the way I want it)
Thanks and greetings from Belgium
Believe it or not but shortly after my question (and days of reading ) I solved it myself.
I just have to keep my finger or stylus on the file until the menu appears where I can then choose to rename the file
So sorry for the question, but maybe it can be usefulf for some other newbees.....
Greetz
tap the file and wait a while holding down finger or stylus, then you'll see a dropdown menu for that file
heh I'm late
thanks anyway kwiateusz, appreciate the fast answer
i guess you skipped the tutorial by WM at the start !!! hahaha
could be, could be hahahahaha
use direction keys or optical joystick under the screen
see
install the attached CAB in your device main memory:
it will replace the original file explorer and give you more and more functions.
one of them in options is allowing you to change the way to execute any file by double click instead of single click, which meaning you can select private pictures in front of anybody by single click without view it.
enjoy
cheers
Thanks!
Will surely install it.

[Q] Keyboard with numbers too

I am looking for a keyboard for the nook STR that has both the letters and numbers on it, either like a normal keyboard or a number pad on the side. we are doing data entry and switching back and forth between letters and the numbers/special characters all the time is annoying.
I've not had much luck searching the android market for one like that, having only found the Hackers Keyboard, and being unable to install it.
I've started using the Go Keyboard. If you long press the appropiate letter you can use the number instead.

we're looking for something where the numbers are just there. There is lots of data being put into spreadsheets, and having any extra clicks or having to hold down a key when entering lots of numbers really slows down workflow. But thank you for the suggestion
How did you get the Go Keyboard installed and activated? Seems you have to install the apk in the system folder, and I tried but wouldn't let me (big noobe I know) :-(
astro file manager isn't enough. You need a file manager that will allow you access to root directories. I used ES File Explorer from the android market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop. Once you install it go to the settings menu and:
1. Scroll down to Root Settings and enable Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Not sure if this next step was needed but I did it anyway
2. Once again from the setting menu click on File Settings and enable "Show Hidden Files"
then copy the file from your data\app folder to your system\app folder

Copy & Paste on Nvidia Shield - EditThisCookie

Let me introduce you with the absurd problem:
Using Yandex as browser to install EditThisCookie, I want to edit/copy a txt file, copy it onto the clipboard and return to editthiscookie on Yandex to paste it.
No way!, I can't even copy text on the clipboard, as long as I need at least to use 3 different controllers: AirMouse, no way to get the right click menu to access clipboard, Native controller (cannot use for this), Joystick, no way, even Android App...
When trying to get into SwiftKey Apk to sideload it and use clipboard capabilities cannot install replacement system keyboard.
Is there any way to make copy/paste accessible for this?
Thanks pals.
