Howto: Change keyboard layout - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

This is how you change your hardware keyboard layout, if for example you've flashed your X1 with another language, and your keyboard layout is messed up. I flashed my Swedish X1 with a UK rom, and I'm now using the Swedish keyboard with this registry change.
Change the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang
to whatever you want your layout to be. The default is CurLang=409 (hex).
English - 409 (tested - works)
Finnish - 40b (tested - works)
Swedish - 41d (tested - works)
German - 407 (tested - works)
Italian - 410 (tested - works)
French - 40c (tested - works)
full list of codes
Make sure to edit the value in hex!
Program to edit the registry in Windows via ActiveSync: CeRegEditor
Program to edit the registry with the phone: Total Commander
Note: This doesn't change the on-screen keyboard
Instructions for French layout later in the thread.

Thanks for this

Will it Work with the .cab of TOUCH HD keyboard?... When we install that .cab we can`t write üöä è on the fisical keyboard
NOPE is the answer...

ok thx it worked...

Is there a way to add new commands?
I'd like to have "FN+C"=copy, "FN+p"=paste, "FN+x"=cut, "FN+A"= mark all, "FN+Sym"=Bluetooth on/off, "FN+àü"=wifi on/off.
Any chance to get this?

Thank you for this, I included it in my tweaks topic I found this setting two days ago in the Raphael topic too and am now very happy to use the german keyboard of my X1 with the UK rom

Don't know why my computer posted my reply to another thread in this one...
Sorry guys.

And how can i change the keyboard layout for Bluetooth keyboards?

QWERTY problem after flashed O2 Xda into K-jam English!!

Hi all,
After reading some good topics on this forum, I flashed my German O2 Xda into K-jam English sucefully. The Qtek_9100_RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship & the i-mate K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110 files
are 100% working.
But when using the slided out keyboard,the differnt letter & symbols mapping cause some problem. I always got
the wrong buttons!
When I press "Z" , I get letter "Y", when I press symbol "@", I get "+".
Can someone know how to resolve this?
Big Thanks!
Have a look at this app. It might work on the Wizard.
http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
Thanks for your suggestion, mitchello. I have tried it yet. I visited the website, but I think this mapping does not quite solve the problem, because it is a bit complicated & cannot solve the symobls layout.
TRY THIS
4. for the german keyboard on english ROM
4a. get a registry editor (like Resco)
4b. search the Change the key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
4c. edit - Layout in decimal to 66567
I have changed the value 00000409 into 00000407 in the registry : \\currentcontrolset\control\keyboardlayout
active > 00000409 , but still nothing happen.
Could there be some extra files are needed?

Tried as you said, but could not find oem\Qwerty or similar. It only has a \\currentcontrolset\control\keyboardlayout

I gusess some more files are needed!
Hello,
i have also search the registry for 00407 or 00409 and i found
entrys, but nothing changes are working.
Nobody has an solution for the keyboard problem ?

So what is your physical keyboard layout?
(i' don't know if there is a german layout)
Is it a QWERTY board?
I have upgraded my dutch (QWERTY) wizard to the 1.1.9 K-jam rom.
And it works fine, so the default key layout for that ROM is QWERTY.
i have an german keyboard and the imate k-jam rom and now
the keys z and y are not right. (and all the other symbol keys)
Other people has the same problem.

my German O2 XDA's physical keyboard layout is QWERTZ, but K-Jam English Rom require a physical keyboard layout of QWERTY. So there is a Z & Y (also some symbols ) mis-placing problem.

If you don't want to edit the registry manually try using Registry Wizard. It's available for download in the regular Wizard forum and has an option for keyboard layout.

English ROM with a French keyboard

Is it possible to have an english ROM (i-mate, T-mobile, Orange) but install on a French QTEK 9100 and with an operational azerty keyboard ?
Yes and no
Yes it is possible to have an English ROM PDA but the HARDWARE keyboard is french. All you have to do is look for the registry key:
HKLM/software/OEM/Qwerty
Check what the value is in a French device.
Then upgrade to english and change the same key from the english value to the french. This takes care of the Hardware Keyboard.
Regarding the software keyboard, i haven't seen a hack but there are a lot of 3rd party programs that you can use that have their own software keyboard that you can assign the language. I think something like what resco or spb has
Hope this helps
I have the same problem, but I allready flash the rom to wwe and now I don't know the value for the french kayboard Please post the value here
I have also the same problem. I have allready flash the rom to wwe and there is no Reg-Key HKLM/software/OEM/Qwerty :?
Under HKLM/Software/OEM only the following entry:
3rdversion
PhoneSetting
VoiceCommand
Any idea? I have also tried the German Language Pack for WM2005 from Buzz, but it didn't work.
Thanks
My mistake, this reg key applies to the Universal, i think.
Have you tried to search for the keyword QWERTY, AZERTY or whichever through the whole registry?
yes,
I search for qwertz, qwerty, wert - without any result
I find a key \HKCU\keyboard layout\Preload - there is an value "default - e0010409"
I've changed this value to e0010407 - but unsuccessful
keyboardmapper
try this site it has prmapped key board progs settings for diffrent languages

Hi,
I have a french-keyboard QTEK 9100 with the WWE ROM....
i have tried aekmap, but in fact i could not find any .aek file describing the INTERNAL french keyboard of the wizard. The one referenced in the website, in fact, contains tokens not digested by the trial version, and in addition is probably for an external bluetooth keyboard...anybody that already did the job and could help? thanks indeed,
Piero
No AEKMap. No that registry key.

English Rom - No Danish key layout !!

Hi,
Updated my Qtek9100 to 2080701 rom. Works great. But no danish keyboard layout. Have added "Locale" to the registry with 0406, but thats not working. Changing it to 040C(spanish or is it french `? ) changes the layout, so the Locale is working, but no support for 0406. So any way to solv this ? Did copy the T9Danish over and that works. But any ideas what else I might try to do to get it to work ??

Finnish (+other Nordic) Keyboard layouts + local T9 Dictionary

Hei All
Here's the Finnish (+Swedish + Danish + Norwegian) localized keyboard layouts including specific T9 dictionary.
The .cab-file includes:
- portrait keypad
- compact qwertry
- full qwerty landscape + portrait
Pros:
- Nordic keys (äöåæøå) available 'on the surface'
- one touch typing available on your own language
- world completion available on your own language
- localized keys to any cooked/shipped ROM
Cons:
- Capital äöæøå doesn't work in fullqverty ABC-mode (T9-mode OK)
Tested in Panosha light 5 (1.93.xxx.x) successfully.
Edit (26.07-08): I removed other files because the.cab file is installable/uninstallable now. Installation doesn't remove any other nordic/english dictionaries.
Completed .cab file
Hi suomalaiset ja suomen mieliset
The attachment file above is replaced. New .cab-file includes enhanced Diamond keyboard graphics with letters äöå. Every Diamond input layout is covered. This makes possible 'one touch typing' and world completion in Finnish: typing is fast and handy
The .cab-file is unistallable and tested with ROM 1.93.xxx.x (Panosha Lihght 5 WWE). I couldn't find any errors. I hope neither can you.
Br,
Illodin
Great, will provide a link to this thread from my dedicated article.

Here's the Finnish keyboard layouts including Finnish dictionary. These are defenitely not official layouts according to ISO-standard
But anyway portrait keypad, compact qwertry, full qwerty and landscape full qwerty will include 'ääkköset'.
Just import the registry file and copy .txt files to windows folder. I used Resco Registry Editor. If the keyboard layout is blank after the installation, please select Finnish dictionary.
I also made .cab file for practising purposes only. It works, but the .cab-file will remove all other dictionaries than Finnish one. You need to install "T9 Input 14 Languages Update.cab" from DesktopMan if you need other dictionoaries also. The .cab file is not always uninstallable.
I've tested these files with Panosha light 5 successfully. Please don't hesitate to use these files -on your own risk.

You don't need those. Just install cab. Working fine with my Diamond.
@ Illodin
Would it be possible for you to do a danish keyboard layout with æ, ø and å?
If you can it will be much appreciated.
I think I found a bug. If using Full QWERTY with T9, "Ä" is recognized as "." and "Ö" as ",".

Thanks I think this improve my chances learning Finnish
Ä and Ö do not work.
I can not use ä or ö. When I press ä or ö, it is the same to as to press long time, common or blob.
What should I do?
Hi Meiz Matti23 Friborg
I rearranged nordic keys.
@Meiz: True, there was a bug. I fixed the bug by rearranging the keys. It should be Ok now.
@Matti23: It should work OK now .
@Friborg: I added Danish letters only for you
In full qwerty-layout, ABC-mode nordic capitals äöå don't work. In T9-mode it is OK.
Br,
Illodin
Thank you so much Illodin for making the Danish layout.
Just downloaded and installed the file and it works perfectly.
Nordic keys localized
Hi
I just mapped basic nordic (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish) keys to localized keyboard graphics and spesific T9 dictionaries.
æøåöä-keys is also added to landscape full qwerty graphic.
Br,
Illodin
Thanks a lot Illodin
Really missed that layout, on my Diamond.
Keep up the good work
Yes, why didn't HTC do this? It's beyond me... But a huge THANKS to Illodin
thx a lot Illodin, this is awsome.
Please, can you make (add) russian language exactly for these language ?

Great work Illodin !
Just wanted to say great work man ! Damn i missed those swedish keys and swedish T9.
The only thing that could make me happier right now is if I could get the swedish keys on the full keyboard also, Is this possible or planned for a future release?

[x] norwegian T9 works

Where do I find the "norwegian files" ?
in your windows directory on the rapahel.
the files should be named
P20-Swedish-capmap_down_mask.png
P20-Swedish-capmap_up.png
P20-Swedish-map_down_mask.png
P20-Swedish-map_up.png
but change the swedish to norweigan. copy the files to /my documents
then rename the files to
P20-capmap_down_mask.png
P20-capmap_up.png
P20-map_down_mask.png
P20-map_up.png
then copy them over to your /windows folder with total commander or something.
remember to backup your original files
soft reset your raphael after you´re done
Did it work for you?
doesnt work at all...
It's most likely because you're missing the correct keyboard text file for norwegian layout.
I have added the ones I have and it solved my danish layout for full qwerty in potrait and landscape mode.
Just copy into windows folder.
Hope it'll solve your problem also
Hardkeyboard language codes
DOes any one now more codes for the hard keyboard. I know in the registry curlang 1044 works for the norwegian but what about swedish or even estonian I would like most. Maybe german would do also.
