Hello
I had bought a Pixel C tablet with Keyboard DE in my trip to Germany. Except all other, I use Russian keyboard layout and have a problem with it. I don't know how to enter "Х" and "Ъ" letters. How can I solve my problem?

I know just an only one elegant way how to set up Google Pixel C Keyboard and Tablet (USA) to work and really type with russian keyboard layout - created and implemented by russian user with nick Nessas.
- you can use special edition of application DragonKeyboard.apk (created/patched by Nessas). Nessas's method described by him itself on the forum of site 4pda.ru in the thread "Google Pixel C" and sub-thread with the header "Русский язык для физической клавиатуры". I suppose that this method implemented by user Nessas2 (from 4pda.ru) will work on all Google C keyboards including (DE) version.
- alternatively, you can contact with Nessas2 - the author of this unique patch on the 4pda.ru forum, and learn how to solve your problem in yours specific situation.

Hello all. I am new to the boards and, I know now, a COMPLETE IDIOT! I bought an MDA Pro with QWERTZ layout (German model). I read all about how GREAT the latest I-Mate ROM is so I flashed and now I am having MAJOR keyboard compatibility issues. As for the letters, only the Y and the Z are switched (so when I hit the "Y" the device types a "Z" and vice versa) but the bigger problem is that ALL the Fn (Function) KeyStrokes are ALSO screwed up. At this point I will take the ROM it came with happily!! I have left an email with the importer I bought the unit from to see if they can assist me.....although I have a feeling I might already know the answer to that! Can ANYBODY offer assistance to me?!?!
Thanks to all who can help, or at least try!!

German Keyboard Working On English Rom
I did not figure this out on my own, I found it on this forum somewhere, but it worked for me!
All Credit Goes To: macznik
"sorry, mea culpa, for Universal is so:
1. for the german keyboard on english ROM
2. get a registry editor (like Resco)
3. search the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
4. edit - Layout in decimal to 66567 (from 66569)
5. softreset
and for other codes......ect
regards"
Hope it worked for you!
Looking how to add a T9 Language to a p525 (limited to english and french on my version).
I've got the dlls, and I followed the instruction of this page: http://www.user.cityline.ru/~ronswens/Tips.htm
but apparently this is not enough for the asus p525
can anybody helps?

Hello all.
Could someone help me on this?
I plan to buy a P525 but it's gonna be an English or a German version.
This means that the alphanumeric phone keypad of the Device will not support the Greek language (I'm Greek), so I won't be able to use it for writing in Greek.
Is there any way (any program I can find / buy) that will allow me to map the alphanumeric buttons to a sequence of my desired letters?
For example when I press "2", it could show the following letters - (depending on how many times I will press it):
a b c 2 α β γ .... etc
Now can that be done?
I know it can be done with a qwerty hardware keyboard like those of the Ipaqs 69xx - with a program called Sunnysoft Interwriter - but I don't know if it can also be done with an alphanumeric phone keypad like the P525's one
thanx in advance

These dlls exist in different versions, and you will have to find the version that will work on P525, for example by trying different smartphone models as source.
Also dictionary dlls are not enough, you will also need to replace T9AWEngine.dll
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

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.

Do you have an I780?
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

Or a Swedish ROM since there are a few of us that would need the swedish dll then
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.
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.
WARNING:
- if you toast your cat with this - I am not responsible for that!
- if you brick your device - look at the cat - I am not responsible for that!

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
Hi,
the subject says all. After my update to ICS 4.0.4 (stock ROM) I lost my QWERTZ layout on the physical keyboard on the Xperia Pro. Sonys support is no help, they even didn't remember that they have phones with a real keyboard. They've sent me a fix for the screenkeyboard.
I looked in the language-settings, I have a hook at german and in brackets it says it has QWERTZ (the other choice was AZERTY). I googled and searched the forum, but I can't find a fix or hint, what to change. My phone is rooted. On plain linux I'd do a loadkeys de, but this is not working.
What can I do?
TIA

Hi,
thanks a lot, that's what I wasn't able to find.
Better way for QWERTZ
Hi,
there's no need to flash the files of the above thread. If you have stock ROMs you need only to edit
/system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml to change your layout (root needed of course).
and change one line from
<Script name="latin" keylayout="arabic"/>
to
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwertz"/>
save and reboot. Now I have the normal german QWERTZ back.
I took ES Explorer and ES Edit for that.
