[GUIDE] HowTo change QWERTY to AZERTY for USB/Bluetooth keyboard - Xoom Android Development

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.

I looked into the .kl file, and there is the line

Hello thorin31
For ICS your patch could fix the keyboard in azerty ?
Can I do this with no probleme ?
Worse I make a backup
Because my english is bad.
(( Salut thorin31
Pour ICS ton patch peut réparer le clavier en azerty ?
Puis je le faire sans soucis ?
au pire je ferais une sauvegarde ))
Yes It's good on Touchpad with CyanomodGen 9 and Touchpad Keyboard

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...

Russian ROM required for Q-tek 9000

Which alternative to Paragon sofware do you know, that works with hardware keyboard correctly? Do you use any of it?
Thank you
I use Paragon Software LEng. Install only the keyboard support, and you'll get no problems. Third-party interface localizations are buggy by default.
Attached the CAB file.
Tested on 1.30 ROMs.
Any idea how to switch the language of the hardware keyboard layout Rus to Eng and back?
Thanks in advance!
with full respect to mamaich, but ...
I'm using aekmap. Works thousands times faster, more reliable, using much less space and no single bud been noticed.
Strongly recommended
ЗЫ. прикольно - наши на буржуйской конфе на инглише пишут :lol:
2 starche_old:
Can you share AEKMap settings? I was too lazy to customise it, so I use LEng that was on my device CD.
2 alphaandomega:
Press FN+spacebar
mamaich,
easily but what setting do u mean? The only thing I'm changing after aekmap been installed - the language changing button. That's all
If u need aekamap, I can send you a link to aepmap home site. BTW, the latest revision is 1.1.3. Confirming, works perfect from day 1 been installed. "must have", the 1st soft to be installed.
And good piece of advice: throw out buggy LEng
I'll look at the latest version. The old build i've tested had some problems on universal.
You can take it here
Also here u can make a filter in order to find a layout with russian keyboard for Uni.

Chinese IME for HTC s620 wm6 ROM

I flashed my C720W with S620 and Roger's English ROM which built in with XT9. I manage to install Chinese font to view webpages and messages with Chinese. However I did not find a good way to input Chinese. All I need is a STROKE IME for Traditional Chinese.
1) I cannot found Xt9 Chinese
2) I tried to extract some files from the asia ROM for Keytouch IME, but failed to manage the registry setting and cannot make it work.
3) I tried to install CE-Star Smartphone 2.8, it does not work!!
4) I tried to install Plum IME (PlumSIP5_SP1), I can type Chinese with the number keys, but the key mapping is not for my QWERT keyboard.
Anyone have a solution?
CE-Sta smartphone 2.8 is the only choice.
seu2002,
which ce-star version? i installed the trial from splife.com. i see the chinese letter "centre" on the bar, but i don't know how to change the ime.
I cannot switch to Chinese IME in CE-star. When I press FN-SPACE, it still pops up the XT9 IME menu. There is no option for a Chinese IME.
the newest version, that it 2.8R3a.
hold Fn when u press space to change between system T9 and CE-Star,
hold(long press) Fn to call the menu.
anything u don't understand, u can reply or PM me glad to find someone here who use chinese
when i press Fn+Space, it pops up the usual XT9 menu (small as the one before i install CE-star). the menu shows
1 XT9 English
2 ABC
3 Language ->
-> 1 French
-> 2 English
4 About XT9
I am using Roger's ROM.

I'v no idea which version do u use, I recommend u test the latest version of ce-star which u can find on their website http://www.mobem.com
good luck
i cold-booted my phone, and installed the version downloaded from http://www.mobem.com. now i can read and type chinese. i think the chinese pack i was using is not compatiable with ce-star. anyway...
but now i have another problem. the ce-star works well after i freshly installed it. after a few restart, it creates a problem. i cannot read any SMS and email, the screen turns blank, and i cannot even type a new message. i am pretty sure it is caused by ce-star. my phone goes back to normal after i uninstall the ce-star. there is a post in another forum talking about the same problem.

have you got this experience? how did you solve it?
thank you!

Frankly speaking, ce-star is not that perfect, it has some annoying bugs
According to my experience, if u run some new soft or go to some menu that u haven't been to before, catastrophe may occur, which means ur device just freeze. Acctually, u needn't uninstall it, just reboot, if there is no response, just pull out battery and boot. Don't worry, it's OK. It'll be fine after u done this for some times
btw, I feel angry for paying $25 for that ****!!!
If I could buy a new device, I definitely will choose a PPC released in asia so as to get rid of that **** forever!!!
actually my phone was bought in HK with a Chinese ROM, I just wanted to upgraded it to WM6.
for the CE-Star, I solved the problem by removing the DynaNls.lnk from \windows\startup" folder, then manually run the CE-Star program.
Hi,mate. My phone is also come from HK with CSL 1010 brand
I have tried ur method before, it cannot get rid of the freeze bug. Just wait, it will happen some days later
Maybe tomorrow, who knows

How to get Samsung i780 Keyboard Qwerty to Azerty driver ?

Hello all,
i have read through a lot in the forum and have alerady flashed and tweaked a lot my i780 with my readings of your Forum. (after doing the same for my TyTNII !))
Bravo to all BTW.
I have a French i780 with an AZERTY keyboard.
I have flashed with the DXHC4 PDA & Phone ROM found here. Since then I have a QWERTY keyboard when the physical keyboard is AZERTY
I have tried the registry edition in order to modify the keyboard mapping to 040C code in the 3 locations described in the different posts without success as it rendres inactive the keyboard.
I tried the different combinations etc...
Here are the exact lines :
in hkey_current_user\keyboard layout\preload string default e0010409 changed to e001040c
\\\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\Active to 0000040c
Is there an issue with a dll or someting in addition ?
Also, I do use RealVGA in 96dpi with an English pack as the french pack is trashing the i780
Any idea is more than welcome !
Hello the i780 specialists ?
Any Idea what registry key to update ? or which driver ?
do you think a cab like the one for the Kayser can be compiled ?
Thanks
While youre on it, please get us the key for Swedish keyb as well
I flashed with the english ROM as well, and....
I am pretty sure there must be a way and it would be great to know the right registry location - would like to change mine over to QUERTZ as I am having an English rom with a German keyboard...
And ideas anyone?
Thanks
Alex

Yes it work but i creates a very irritating keybaord lag when using the keys that is mapped with AE keyboardmapper.
Yep, I have seen this tutorial, but I must admit that I am not at all interested in the software emulation. I 'd rather wait for a proper OS / registry / hw solution
No news guys ???
First of all, I'm no export in this and want to apologize for my english, cause I'm german.
Me too wants to change the keyboard layout as I have an english rom with qwerty and want to get back my german qwertz-layout.
As far as I've found out there is an registry entry under "HKLM/Hardware/DEVICEMAP/KEYBD/DriverName" which with my device maps to a dll named "zylonite_keypad_us.dll"
This file seems to be located in the ROM. I couldn't copy it for editing. Maybe someone can develop an idea how to deal with this.

If yes, which of these mentioned steps did you do?
This is not yet working for me. At the Moment the hardware keyboard doesn't work at all...
Edit: So, keyboard is working again. But "z" and "y" are still "swapped". So still not the German- QWERTZ
Same here, ive got an azerty i780, but this tip does'nt work for me
It doesn't work at all
The keyboard is rendered NON active by modifiying these reg keys / strings ...

When I change the settings like that thread, my keyboard stopped working
I use the code: 041d for Swedish.
Mind helping out what I need to do? I followed the instructions from that page but the keyboard just stopped working, the hardware keyb that is.
In my humble opinion the problem is that when we change the registry keys we are telling windows to use a different dll that simply is not there, and so the keyboard becomes inactive. The solution is that someone with a German WM6 gets the german dll and shares it with us.
Regards,
Luís
Before flashing my azerty orange fr i780, i saved HKLM sytem tree, and the dll is the same.
The only difference in HKLM tree is :
\\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\Active
040c for azerty french
0409 for US
But doesn't work on my device

I still got the German phone and intend to upgrade to UK ROM. What dll exactly do you guys need?
dll is : zylonite_keypad_Us.dll
But totalcommander refuses to copy the file

Do you have a registry editor on yout I780?
Then look at: HKLM/Hardware/DEVICEMAP/KEYBD/DriverName
There should be a .dll listed.
I guess thats the one we need. But I fear, as webise said, that you can't copy this file from your windows folder. As far as I've seen this file is in ROM.

i780 DXHE1 with QWERTZ layout

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...

You can install an additional german softkeyboard.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305811
(it's the standard german softkeyboard)
Hint: You have to install SIPchange before installing the softkeyboard!
