Hello, I've successfully installed WM 6.1 (Kavana / Ricky 318 version) on my Excalibur.
But I have a lof of problems with my French keyboard.
I've tried a lot of things, according to info inside the forum... but it still does not work
1. I only have XT9 on my S620, no ET9 (only 10 languages, without French)
2. The keyboard mapping is not correct
Could you help me with a simple solution ?
Thanks in advance for your support
Ok I've found a first solution : the ET9 multi-language pack is on Mondaco

The AZERTY keyboard mapping (also on Modaco)

And a nice tutorial to explain everything

very useful post, thank you
Just what I was looking for, thanks a lot for sharing the information!
Uups, after installing the language files, my sym and caps button stopped working. Anybody else had this problem?
I'm trying to change the Qwerty to Qwertz and already had some results... Read the Thread and maybe you can help to finalize this...!!!
Greatings Mievalt!
Hey
How did ou do ?
I'm trying to get a AZERTY for myself (French !)
Let's provide the info so that I can cook a AZERTY ROM
Thxs in advance
First of all it seems that there is a problem with touchscreen and mouse I'm trying to fix that but no promises.
You have to replace all files of the zylonite_keypad_Us.dll including the S001, S002 etc. files.
Do the same with the consHID.dll files.
My Keyboard layout is now qwertz but as I said there are still problems with the touchscreen and mouse. But I think we are quite close...
I need to replace these files by the same ones from a French ROM I assume ?
Yes thats correct!!!
It is very curious...
I've managed to change the qwerty keyboard layout to qwertz, and first the touchscreen works fine, but when use the mouse button for the first time I can only use the touchscreen to click where the cursor is...??? Sounds as stupid as it is???!!! It seems that the "old" German Rom I use doesn't really come along with the new mouse driver that can hold the tap....
Does anyone know a solution or can assist??? The zylonite_keypad_Us.dll seems to be Samsung-made. Maybe someone with more experiences can say if it is possible to change some parts of the file and which!!!!
What I will try tomorrow is to use a ROM that doesn't have the new mouse driver... Maybe I get some results!!!
Hi. i have the same problem, i update with an Italian ROM (I live in Ticino). I have understand that i have to replace the zylonite_keypad_Us.dll but what ist the right file that i have to update ? And where can i find it ? Grazie.
I tried several things... and found out that its all about these three files:
zylonite_keypad_Us.dll
conshid.dll
compime.dll
with all there S00x files.
But by just replacing them your touchscreen and mouse screw up....
I'm trying for days now but can't fix this problem... EFN meant we need other Language MUIs, so replaced some but also no results...

Unfortunately I don't believe without a custom ROM and / or a third party software this is possible to get working.
Looking online it seems like most HTC Android phones have a missing profile in the HTC Bluetooth Deployment. You could always look into installing a custom ROM that supports this?
Hope this helps
Thanks ashleyayling...Kind of halped but didnt cheer me up...if I understant well its all about missing HID in official ROM, right? With it it should be working? And all the third partys Roms do have the HID?

Can I ask what Android version and software number you are using?
Menu > Settings > About phone > Software Version
Sure - its version 2.2, SN - 1.32.405.6
for completeness - my reason for not changing ROM isnt that dont know how, but simply dont want to...but if its required...been using WM for years and now jumbed to Android and dont know all stuff. So your iterest is very kind...and appreciated...
Same problem here. I bought Freedom Pro bluetooth keyboard, I managed to connect it TO DHD official ROM with third party drivers found on otadrivers.com. However these drivers have limitedbuiltin keybord layouts (English, Deutsch, Korean), but I need Czech layout with special characters and there is no way user can create customer layouts. For me the only way is CM7 ROM with working HID profile, and then editing keychar files in order to create Czech layout for the keyboard.
Hopefully guys from Revolution HD ROM will implement bluetooth HID profile into their ROM.
My 2 cents.
iGo keyboard works fine for me...
Hi all,
I use an iGo keyboard with my Desire HD; it works a treat. However, it won't work with a stock HTC rom; I run Cyanogen however and this works without any extra software required.
I recently tried the keyboard on my sisters Desire HD; she's not rooted or the like and has via OTA updates got it on the latest official HTC rom. Still won't work there, so evidently still an HTC stock limitation...
Connect Bluetooth keyboard to Desire HD via HID
Finally I found a way how to natively connect bluetooth keyboard to HTC Desire HD.
I was looking for ROM with Sense with bluetooth HID support, but there were only CM7 ROM without Sense. Also Revolution HD ROM was with Sense, but doesnt include HID support.
Finally found it, this ROM
[ROM][Aug 29][ACE] Virtuous Unity 2.35.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid is based on official ROM from Pyramid, includes Sense, and I was able to connect my bluetooth keyboard via HID.
Voila.
Now I will be able to change keychars files in order to change keybord layout from English to Czech.
bluetooth keybord czech layout
So finally made it to change layout of external bluetooth keyboard to Czech.
In case of Virtuous Unity ROM mapping of external HID keyboard is located in the following file
Code:
/system/usr/keychars/BT_HID.kcm.bin
.
In the attachment you will find edited file for Czech keyboard - QWERTZ including mapping of all czech characters. What i didnt make is Acute - when u press a key "ˇ" - and keyboard is waiting for next character (for example D) and then outputing acuted character (Ď). Acute characters (ˇ´) are mapped to keys but after pressed they dont wait for next character. I have to work on that.
You can push it to device by adb
Code:
adb push BT_HID.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/
I m using Freedom Pro keyboard but any bluetooth keyboard should work.
Hello all !!!
You tell me it's mostly for the French because only they who uses the azerty, and... you're right
Ok, remember that you must to be root !
And now, let's go !
firstly, download the file azerty_keymap.zip (below) and chose between these 2 methods.
the first : Using ADB (you have to download Android SDK before)
just plug your Xoom and push files with these command lines
adb remount
adb push Generic.kl /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
adb push Generic.kcm /system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm
adb reboot
the second method : Using Root Explorer (or anything else like it)
copy Generic.kl in the folder /system/usr/keylayout/ (mount r/w before)
then copy Generic.kcm in the folder /system/usr/keychars/
remount r/o
reboot
and NOW...!!!! Enjoy your azerty keyboard with.
I hope it will help you.
Thanks for this tip

What is the brand of your keyboards ?
If your keyboard is know by the system, correct map is use, else, generic map is apply.
Give me brand/model of your keyboards, and I'll help.

Hi,
Using those files on a rooted nexus 10 with a bluetooth PS3 keyboard makes it undetected as a keyboard (trackpoint still effective) ... any clue ? Thanks.
Have you all tried with External Keyboard Helper app? It's paid app, but it works for me. I have Xoom, 3G, with noname keyboard from eBay and croatian layout. And it works just fine...
Yes, it can be a hassle sometimes, but it's worth those few dollars that keep me away from plwying with keyboard layout files...
It's just a suggestion... And, there is also demo on Play store, full functional (as far as I can remember).
Samsung'd with Galaxy S III
There is a free equivalent on the store (clavier physique AZERTY) but both apps share the same issue : instead of overriding/fixing the default Android input method (which adapts automatically to the presence of a physical keyboard or not), both provide an alternative method that works well when physical keyboard is used, but is notre smart enough to cancel itself and use default Android when using software keyboard...
Here is my version of a QWERTZ Keyboard Layout for german (flashable by recovery).
Use it for your BT or USB Keyboard.
I have a 3G Xoom with hc 3.2 modded for european running but it should work on every xoom afaik.
If you have root and you know what you do and you want a german keyboard layout for your german bluetooth or your usb keyboard you will have to take the following steps:
- download zip to your device
- move it to external sdcard (or internal in case you have the modded recovery for this)
- boot into recovery
- use "install zip from sdcard" to install
How it works:
- it replaces (/system/usr/... keychars/Generic.kcm and keylayout/Generic.kl) in your system directory to give android the right mapping for a QWERTZ Keyboard.

Have a look into the ZIP-File. There a two files. One tells the system which scancode of your keyboard maps to which keycode. The other tells the system which chars maps to which keycodes.
For the lookup of the keyboard scancodes use KeyTest.apk from Chris Boyle.
To edit you have to use a program that is able to handle Unix carrige returns and the file has to stay at UTF8 - I myself use PSPad for this task (there is a russian version available and its totally free!).
Your primary target is Generic.kcm (changes to Generic.kl are very difficult because you are not free to choose the keycode name - they depend on some internal android header on compile time!) - some of the mapping are obvious some other not. For russian I think you will have to put them like in a special notation like " '\u00e7' " (it just an example how to notate hex chars - my best guess is to have a look here).

I do not think this can be done without a very special app for the keyboard. Maybe you can mix up things by setting the soft keyboard to the one language and the hard keyboard to the other.
Will it work with the original Motorola Xoom Keyboard?
I do not know - but if you tell me it does not I will my best to make it work. The original Xoom Keyboard has a vendor code that may or may not be known to the us version of 3.2 now - if you want me to fix it contact me please.
Will it work with my XYZ brand keyboard?
That depends. In most cases - for example you can connect that keyboard to your pc successfully - it will work. Contact me if it does not.
Is it possible to remap the windows key to home?
Yes it is. Find the 'special version' (QWERTZ_Xoom_DE_Windowskey_as_Home.zip) below.
Btw: it's spelled QWERTZ and not QUERTZ.
Just telling you this because I've seen that you made the same mistake in another forum as well...
ooops ... you are right.
Silly mistake, sorry.

Does it give possibility to use both layout QWERTY and QWERTZ? Please could you provide some manual how to add another language. I would like to use Russian and QWERTY layout for Bluetooth keyboard.
Thanks.
it's also possible to install perfect keyboard free. after activating this keyboard you can also choose the german layout for the stock keyboard.

No. Its just a change to QWERTZ by replacing the mapping files.

I will add some sentences to the start post for this.
also worth noting that some hardware keyboards will have their own .kl files, like the BT moto keyboard will load its own .kl file by default e.g Vendor_22b8_Product_093d.kl so modding generic .kl may not work for all external keyboards

Yes, I need both layout on one keyboard. So I could use external keyboard for typing in Russian and English, like on virtual one. It's weird that Google or Moto forgot to add support for several languages for the virtual keyboard((
Is it possible to match the "windows"-key to the home button? Keycode is 117.
Yes it is.
Find the 'special version' in the starting post.
I have the same issue as Kozdoba.
Have an Apple wireless keyboard that I want to use with Swedish layout when writing email and messages, but in standard US layout mode otherwise.
It should be possible to switch between layouts when needed.
I guess this would require someone to make some custom changes to the Honeycomb input code, and for that Google need to release it into AOSP.
i flashed the zip, but not only the z/y buttons are switched, also many other buttons. but i would like to undo it. is there a flashable zip to, or do i have to restore my backup?
i would like to just change the z/y buttons
btw i am using the brand new ensington keyfolio for unversal 10" tabs
