as any one already found a way to change german to english on mda pro sold in germany t-mobile
i'm also extremely interested into this topic.
i'll have the MDA Pro in about a week and want to try alt least 2 things:
1. english rom upgrade
2. switch the Z key with the Y key.
Thanks for the interest !
i have my german mda pro since today.
Problem is the warrenty sticker is in front of a screw.
So i dont know if we can switch eh Y and Z
i was hoping that it will be something like a pc keyboard ... that we can remove only the keys and not the entire keyboard.
mine arrives in a week ... so i still have to wait
do you like the german version or waiting to upgrade to english one ?
i am happy with it,
i will only start working on it till my xda 2 is sold.
in the mean time ill try to make it english and look at the keyboard
To remap the keyboard, use this: http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap_t.html
Takes a while to learn how it works, but works like a charm.
You will have to create your own keymap file.
I was succesfull to change the keyboard from QWERTZ to QWERTY
I wont recommend it, cause the size of Y and Z are a bit different.
The Z is ok and u wont notice, but the Y has 0,5 mm difference on the sides.
U can get used to it very fast though. And u dont really notice it.
This all without voiding warrenty stickers..
Now i need a english rom to enable QWERTZ ->QWERTY
excellent news ... can you give some detailed step by step
thanks
I also changed in the german rom the keyboard from qwertz to qwerty
by editing the registery
hardkeyboard show qwerty now, the on screen keyboard is still qwertz
but i dont use that one so much.
now for a english rom update...
maybe you can try using one of these keybord skins

The most difficult thing seems that we need an english ROM with the german keyboard.
Maybe someone who tried something like this have some answers.
So Guys Can I change the Germany Rom to English Rom on the MDA PRO, and after just change the keyboard settings? I am very interested in ,coz I would like to buy one soon. 8)

You could buy my MDA Pro casing with UK keyboard pattern:

Or I could supply an XDA Exec UK keyboard pattern seperatley buy it may look out of place :-(

Beloved sig. Perhaps Richard,
you forgets that I have not received nothing, perhaps she forgets that only it can ask the reimbursement from the mail, perhaps she believes that people are stupid not to understand when a person brails up, paypal ask only a copy for the receipt, she originates them to it ALWAYS remain and HOWEVER to the person whom she sends like valid test. It sure will be called to show the test of happened shipment, in court and I will demonstrate that it is denying my right to me to having a reimbursement for the goods never received.
It is calm, I am already obtaining the better thing, to make to see that dishonest and strafottente person is she. In court I will have other satisfactions.
I add:
it must have shame with this behavior with the customers.
I honestly did not understand the ansers I saw until now.
I use a German origin with an english rom, change
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Querty to Value 66567 and You are back to Gerrman KB.

thanks for the helpful info. could you please inform in MDA PRO wm5 where can i find that registry file ? with which software can i find that file ?
Hi fuhayer,
this is not a file, but a registry entry. You will need a registry-editor.
I use Resco Explorer for this purpose, but it is not free-ware. Search around here or google a little to find a registry-editor for your pda if You do not have one.
Good luck

Hi everyone!
Many people out there from all over the world have upgraded their Artemis to Windows Mobile 6, thanks to people who are working hard on cooking nice ROMs for us. These people are used to a specific keyboard layout, many languages are using special characters too.
It would be nice to have a way to change the keyboard layout : something like easy installing CABs or a how to on what to change in the registry, what to remove on the storage, or whatever way to have our own keyboard on theses WWE ROMs.
Is it possible?
vive le france
Hi Romano2k,
The only thing that i have found was this regkey:
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Windows_Mobile_5_Registry_Tweaks
But afaik does this regkey only work for the 'hard-keyboard' and not for the software-keyboard, so this answer won't help you a lot...
On my P3300 nothing changed with these keys and nothing happend when i changed the keys in 'HKCU\Keyboard Layout' In another forum i found a thread and they are saying you need a third-party software to change the software-keyboard...but for me it's no problem to use the english keyboard...but french keyboards are much stranger (i think french keyboard are the strangest keyboards that exists) and so i can understand your problem
Cheers
Peter
Love your reply's title
I agree with you, the french keyboard is strange, I wish they were only DVORAK keyboards all over the world! But I need my "é" "à" and so on... I'm sure there's a way to change the software keyboard!
Vive LA France
As far as I know it's a dll file that you would have to change. Never tried in WM6 to replace it, in WM 2003 it wasn't possible. Resco Keyboard would be an alternative if you don't want to try to change the layout yourself.
ups...
My french isn't that well....long time ago since school
I found a cab for the german keyboard, maybe you will find out more when you take a look inside this cab ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321236
Found French Keyboard ?
Heya,
maybe this could help you ? No idea if it works because i'm from Liechtenstein and i don't need a french keyboard

And for us in Greece?
Hi all,
Is there any way to change the keybord to contain Greek characters???
1.I would like to know if touch pro 2 is compatible with "Greek language support" or if in any way I can change its interface to Greek.
2.If possible I'd like to know if hardware keyboard is changeable too
Thank you.
Nothing?
Any suggestions on how to remap the hardware keyboard?If it can be done..
The hardware keyobard can be easily mapped with AEKmap.
There isnt a perfect layout out there, but im planning to make one as soon as i get a day off from work.

Thank you..s'eyxaristw poly.
Do you know if this http://htc-touch-pro2.handster.com/software.php?id=3692&for=HTC+Touch+Pro2 works for a foreign device?

it probably works, but since htc has changed most of the ui with custom programs, you wont get much from a program like this. more than half of the screens/apps will be still in english.
maybe in the future someone will crack the ace hellas extrom, or share the greek mui files.
Hello,
I have a Touch Pro 2 with a QWERTY physical keyboard and I have flashed a french ROM to sell my phone because I have upgraded to the HTC Desire.
The problem is that the ROM think my keyboard is in AZERTY.
I know there is some reg change to change it to QWERTY but I want to know if there is a CAB that can do this.
Thanks a million times in advance for the one that can help me.
If You cannot find it, I would propose to convert from .reg to .cab. There are programs out there who can do this for You, although I do not have experience with them. Sorry not even a name, cannot find it. Just do some searching around here.
Hello everyone.
I am doomed to buy QWERTZ MK16i since there is not a single unit with QWERTY keyboard layout left in europe.
My question is, can i dissasemble the phone and change the whole keyboard (physically) to QWERTY (i can buy such keyboard) then flash my rom to whatever i want and change layout to latin QWERTY in the software (there are some ways here in the forum that seem to be legit to change software to QWERTY as well as response of Y and Z (and others) from physicall) ?
I'm really mad i can't get my xperia pro with QWERTY, but i want it so bad, i'll do everything to get this to work.
Theoretically it seems possible, but i'd like to know if anyone else has ever tried it ?
Well,this is certainly not the reply you asked for,but i think you should not buy a Pro now,if u really really want a physical qwerty(swype is faster),then according to where you live,check out the Moto droid 4(can be unlocked) or the samsung captivate.(same)
Sorry, but the droid is too expensive (and i dont like the keyboard), and the other one is not avaliable, i wanted capti but couldnt find it. (EDIT: sorry it's avaliable, but i kinda decided already, dont like 4" screen - too big)
Swype... well i dont care if it's faster, i need tectile feeling when typing, so i dont have to look at the phone when doing it.
Although i will probably use onscreen for lots of stuff, but for texting, i need slide-out.
can i bump here ?
First, swype is not faster, i am really speedy with hardware keyboard.
Second, if you have Root, go to /system/usr/keyboard-config and open the file keyprint.xml and change the line
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-en"/>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwertz"/>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
save and reboot.
Or, should this not work (for me it did) go to system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts and go to the qwerty-en.xml file, open it and swap the z and y.
From what i can tell, you want me to do the opposite of what i need
I want QWERTY (not QWERTZ), are you sure it should be as you said ?
So it is possible to swap the keys and make QWERTZ phone to QWERTY phone as long as i change physical keyboard ?
Greets
Damn i thought you would qwertz physical keyboard change is an Hardware hack.... so buy an pro with qwerty layout, should be easier than change the complete keyboard

Dude, read the first post, I CANT GET QWERTY LAYOUT BECAUSE ITS UNAVALIABLE IN POLAND (or even whole europe)
I know it's a tricky thing to do, but i would like to know if it's gonna work and is it worth it.
greets
bump ?
NVM
I got the one with QWERTY
I think it was the last one in europe
