Hi everyone,
I have just made this patch that allows using the AZERTY built-in (hardware) keyboard with a ROM in a different language (WWE, SPA, ITA, GER…).
Remarks:
- This works only for Blue Angel, because Wallaby, Himalaya and Andes DO NOT have a hardware keyboard.
- The On-screen keyboard won’t change. If you have a ROM in World Wide English (WWE), your Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer, Keyboard and Transcriber will be in English, ONLY the hardware keyboard will be in French.
- If you know how to use WinCE CAB Manager 1.1, it’s is possible to adapt this to other keyboards. You only have to extract and modify “Platformxxx.reg” inside the BA_AZERTY_Hardware_Keyboard_Patch_for_WWE_ROM.cab and put it back to the cab file with your own settings. I won’t make any other patch for other keyboard. I made this patch just for me, but you can use it and modify as you like.
What’s inside? How can I modify it?
The most important registry key to modify is the last key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:0002040c
You have to modify the last 3 digits (after the 00020) depending on your hardware. For instance, for a T-Mobile MDA III with a (hardware) keyboard in German you should give this value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:00020407
(00000407 is the code for the German keyboard layout.
The other keys correct the Local Settings.
The first key set the values for France
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
"DefaultACP"=dword:000004e4
"DefaultLCID"=dword:0000040c
"DefaultOCP"=dword:00000352
"SystemLCID"=dword:0000040c
The second key set the GMS Emergency number to 112 (all over Europe)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ECall]
"List"=hex(7):\
31,31,32,00,00
The third key sets the time zone: +1 Madrid, Paris
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Clock]
"GMT_OFFSET"=dword:ffffffc4
"AppInfo"=hex:\
01,00,00,00,3A,01,00,00,69,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,80,01,00,00,04,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00

I tested on my French Qetk 9090 with WWE ROM and it works FLAWLESSLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now guys remove this stupid and incomprehensible French rom localization and jump for a WWE ROM. I wonder now why some many people got difficulties to understand how to use a PPC in France, the Menu and translation are written by monkeys…

I have upgraded two more keyboards, the Italian and the German and I have also modified the Regional Time Zone settings for these Countries.
I intended to build these cabs to intall them in the Extemded ROM (I'm using the Belgium ROM BA_WWE_BelDT_12200_557_10602_SHIP.exe and I have replaced the Belgium Operators cab with my AZERTY keyboard cab ), so I don't need to personalize my Blue Angel every time I need to do a hard reset.
For those who just want to use their localized keyboard with a ROM in a different language, they only need to modify this key with a Registry Editor as explained in my previous message.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:00020xxx

Great work, makes it some much easier, thanks
I understand:
The On-screen keyboard won’t change. If you have a ROM in World Wide English (WWE),
your Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer, Keyboard and Transcriber will be in English,
ONLY the hardware keyboard will be in French.

Which is fine in the short term for I am sure that somebody SMART will post a fix for it.
However I still have a problem with the software keybaord.
I am in Switzerland and need the o,u,e with the dots on top.
I have found sofware for USD 29.95 that solves that:
http://pocket-pc-software.penreader.com/InterKey.html
Question: could you PLEASE post cab that will overwrite the internal keyboard ? Leaving the recogoniction ect in Engliah.
There is a MDAIII Extened rom GER (I think) posted under ftp, BlueAngel\MDAIII\MDA3 ext[1].ROM.zip
Your thoughts ?
How could I have forgotten Switzerland!!! )) When I think I lived one year in Zürich... And I will be back soon to visit some friends over there, in Wettingen.
Listen mate, for the internal keyboard is too much of a problem, because, I think, each version of Pocket PC has only the keyboard drivers for the language is intended. i.e, a ROM in WWE won´t have the drivers for a Swiss keyboard... -for the Trancriber, I'm sure 100%- and besides the drivers are in the ROM memory, so not visible. I tried many many things to make work the on-screan keyboard but I couldn't find any solution... but maybe someone else will find it in the future. Nothing is impossible. Meanwhile there´s a very good solution and reasonable cheap (developers must make some money too!)
http://www.resco-net.com/keyboard.asp
In fact, I wanted a Spanish keyboard, because you can write in Spanish, French, English, German and many other languages... even Swiss German!, which you can't do with a US or French keyboard... so I have bought the Resco keyboard
As I said before, I don't think to make any other versions of the keyboard patch, but that's the whole thing in the Open Source... I found how to change the keyboards, I explained it to the community and Í'm sure that other guys here will do more keyboards in different languages. I'm pretty sure that other Swiss people will be interested so they can also contribute.
Actually, to write this answer me takes longer than to make a patch for the Swiss (german) keyboard... but I prefer to work now to unlock this Blue Angel thing I don't think to change of provider but it's a matter of principles. I hate locked things (phones, DVD players, etc.) and everything else that takes away some of your freedom... but that´s another subject and this is not the place for that
Viel Spass!
ArtZ
Oh What a nice guy you are and I am sure that your last post took you longer to write than a patch. (grin) But I am also sure lots of pepole will be happy with what they find as it is a lot esyser than searching the forum for the reg codes.
I am a bit lost on the Unlock thing you wrote about.
I downloaded a tool of this site that unhides the Exteneded rom and unlockes the sim (I think).
The an hide works for me, and my sim swiss phone works fine on my german MDAIII, is this what you need?
There is a
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\KeyBoard Layout\Preload\1
The Active key is set to e000409
on my 1.12.22 WWE
1) Does anybody know what it is ?
2) Can somebody look at the values for ITA, FRE, GER and post the results.
Thanks

That's normal. In every language is the same. You shouldn't change that value... and if you do, there will be no difference.
I think windows just preload the US keyboard when it starts.

International characters could be entered on hardware keyboard by typing basic letter (u, i s, c, etc.) , press and hold Lock/Fn key and rotate through variations by typing "sym" (space).
Does anybody knows if something similar could be done on software keyboard?
Hello, I am writing because I am a bit confused.
I have
WinCE cab manager open on the patch
platformxxx.reg open in notepad ready to be edited
phm registry editor open on the BA on the "querty" reg key
and this microsft pageopen,
but I am lost.
First:
Keyboard=ENG (t-mobile UK)
ROM=BA_DT_Swisscom_ITA_14004_8006_11200_SHIP
I understand that I have to change the QWERTY value in the REG KEY inside the PLATFORMXXX.REG. I save the whole thing and the install on the BA.
Now, the current value on the unpatched reg key is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty] "Layout"=dword:00020809
if I go check in the Microsft page, 809 is already UK (0x0809 en-GB English (United Kingdom) ).
I was expecting this value to be the Swiss-ITA (0x0810 it-CH Italian (Switzerland)
I am totally lost, what am I supposed to do?
EDIT:
SOLVED
trial and error:
I will answer my own question:
you have to change the language of the keyboard to the one of your rom and not viceversa.
Thank you for your help, I am a happy camper now that the keyboard works.
EDIT:
JUST ONE NOTE:
I had to change the REGION SETTINGS: date was in FRENCH.
NOW IS PERFECT
Thank you so much!
How can i add special characters of swedish language å, ä and ö (last two used by many languages) when writing sms and e-mails? I don't care about T9 dictionary as i don't use it. I am about to buy this smartphone and the only thing that makes me sceptical is this issue. Swedish language support is vital for my job. Sorry if this is somewhat silly question. I am totally new to smartphones and windows mobile
When you write on the keypad, and your local XT9 dictionary is selected, you can write this accented characters (simply with multitap). The characters will rotate a-b-c-á-ä-...-2.
On the QWERTY keyboard you have to use XT9 dictionary or remap keyboard layout (edit textfile in Windows directory).
I think that the å character is not present but i am not sure.Could you please clarify this? Thanks for your quick answer
I dont have Swedish XT9 so I cant check it. Anyway, you can remap QWERTY keys to any Unicode characters.
I understand. So i guess you have to have swedish XT9.Is there a guide for how to add this feature? I'd be grateful if there is some sort of link
clarification: as i live in Greece i will get a greek version of s730 which i know it has no swedish XT9
How to make this device to support Japanese language?

I have a S730 Swedish model and åäö is in abc.

Ok, so, as i have the greek model...
How can i add swedish special characters when multitapping phone keys?Or in the qwerty keyboard?
I would really appreciate any help

I also have a Swedish model with åäö marked on the keyboard, but after i flashed the OS the keyboard layout is not the swedish one. I would really appriciate if you could upload the files:
eT9.Wings.****.kmap.txt
eT9.Vox.****.kmap.txt
which are located in windows/ (**** stands for a 4 digit number which stands for the locale id)
I think the swedish keyboard layout is named:
eT9.Wings.041d.kmap.txt
to the ftp://xda:[email protected] ,
I´m sure others would find it very useful too.
I have a nordic version of S730 with å,ä,ö and i've uploaded the files on xda's ftp under uploads/Smartphones/Wings/swe_keyboard_map... next to jockys roms...

Sms in Russian
I tried to install in my HTC Touch Diamond several different keybord in order to be able to write sms in russian/cyrillic. All of them are perfectly working, with outocomplete words,....
But my problem is that when I send the sms to another mobile, my text cannot be recognised: all the letters will become "?". Is this because my Diamond is in Italian and can't recognize cyrillic caracters?
Can anyone help me to solve this problem? I need to write Sms in Russian.
Thanks in advance

So you think that there's no chance to write sms in cyrillic from my HTC Diamond? But I'm sure that exist the russian version of this mobile. Why can't it recognize cyrillic?
You can try Microinvest Micron 2.5 keyboard. It's free and supports cyrillic keyboards (russian and bulgarian) as well as the standard english layout. It comes in two distinct versions (which are actually separate installations):
Standard - with the size ot standard input panel and
Touch - specially suited for finger typing.
It also has support for VGA displays (such as the Touch Diamond).
You can choose among 4 integrated skins (i like Vista best). More info here:

Or download directly from here:

In theory all the keyboards should be available in all phones, it's the registry setting that would be nice to know, so if you could post the tegic reg it would be nice.
You would find it in HKLM/software/tegic

Can you be more exact? there are like hundreds of registrys in that folder HKLM/software/tegic/eT9
None in ../tegic exept that folder
Just save the HKLM/software/Tegic registry folder as the "hundreds" of entries describe what keyboard layout, what tegic wordbook to use and so on and so on.
I actually added Danish to my HK version by adding all the registry setting for Danish in to that folder
any news on this?
I've installed duttys rom, and the first impression is great. Only played with it for half a day.
I installed the old blackstone keyboards (which I found in a xperia-thread) and the 14 languages t9-cab, and can now type with norwegian t9. The thing is that the keyboard layout is english, so I have to remeber where they norwegian keys are put on the compqact qwerty.
Anyone got a solution?
A nordic keyboard for these new ROMs would be great. Is it available?
I am using Davideuck's V3 Rhodium and the only thing i miss is the nordic keyboard layout.
To gather everything up nicely..
T9 Input 14 Languages Update.cab (2.3 KB)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=94698&d=1214149758
This only adds the option to select the language i want. When writing with XT9 enabled in the full qwerty nothing shows up on screen. If I set it to ABC it works. Keyboard layout is still english, or at least without æ, ø and å witch are the Norwegian characters I would like to get on my keyboard.
Then I will need some dictionary file to add XT9, right? Where can I get that?
Also, when my full qwerty works with XT9 I would prefer to move another step; how do I get compact qwerty with XT9 and nordic (æøå for me) characters?
I lost the compact qwerty when I flashed my ROM with some Dutty-ROM. Oh, and don't get me wrong. His ROMs are fantastic, but I would still love to have compact qwerty
Tried This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462284
I installed this reg attached as zip file in this post, and got XT9 working but no keyboard layout in Danish. Maybe the new keyboard is not meant to be like that? Its maybe supposed to be like the Iphone where you keep pressing "o" to get ø etc..? Because this is working fine.. and even the XT9 is suggest words when you use the "o" instead of ø when writing the words.
hmm
I downloaded the cab mentioned in the previous post. It's a 6MB file and it gave me an error message 5 seconds in the install process
"Installation of Touch-IT_Blackstone_Nor_swe_Den_Fin.cab was unsuccessful."
Oh well... I feel like I have searched the entire web twice for this, but finding dictionaries for other languages proves to be difficult. I could even settle for only Norwegian

I have the problem that I'm a danish user, but I use dutty's rom with the new ezimput 2.0 keyboard, but no danish language exist yet to that one.
Now when I try to install the original HD keyboard, the "phone keypad" doesn't work anymore, and hence make it impossible to use T9. It works with full QWERTY, but my fat fingers doesn't work well on that one.
Anyone have the same problem, and have found an solution?
What do you mean that no Danish language exist for that.
Phone keyboard is having "ø" under "mno" button and just like normal multitap.
If it's the T9 you are looking for then use the attached reg key and you'll have Danish added to the language list.
I'm using Dutty 3.3 and it works without problems.

Thanks for the reg file.
I didn't know you were able to have danish on the new ezimput 2, as they state on the thread in "dev and hacking" that it only supports eng, ger, fre, spa etc.
From were do you get the ldb files and kdb files? Or are the danish one included in the dutty rom? Or can you please upload those files aswell?
-offtopic-
I have used my diamond for almost a year and really enjoys it, so now I thought that I would go to the HD. - And I feel like a beginner again. What rom is the best, what is the new essentials etc... :-/
I used the dic file from one of the oploads in this thread, and it worked beutifull. Thanks.
More Languages on ezimput2 from Topaz
This file enables more T9 languages on the latest keyboard.
Layout will be the same.
Did anyone find any solution to the compact keyboard?
In my opinion the compact keyboard is the best one, but in Duttys rom's it doesnt exist.. and Duttys rom is really great so I dont wanna change rom.
The perceft solution would be Dutty rom + Compact keyboard with working T9 swe lang.
please please... tell me that someone solved this...
Here's a mod on the previous Danish reg file to make it work for Swedish instead.

I installed a ahmedkry's WM 6.5 ROM (WWE) and I've been trying to find a way to type greek characters using the software / hardware keyboard. I am not interested for greek ROM translation, greek menus, greek dictionaries etc. Just typing support as 2nd language (replacing the current ones: àáââäåæç).
I have already tried some registry key changes (HKCU/MUI/CurLang) to 0408 and software reset but it doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas?
Moved as not ROM Development.
Software keyboard kinda solved, by installing a 3rd-party keyboard (Zoomboard) which supports multiple languages.
However, I'm still looking for greek layout support for the hardware keyboard of TyTN II. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to share.
Thank you.

Need it myself also...just updated to win 6.1.
AEKMap (h**p://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php) or AE Keyboard Mapper should solve the problem for you. It maps external keyboards. There are preset greek layouts that you can download from the site. My Xperia X1 works that way.
