Hi, I just registered here, but have been reading parts of the forums for some time. I first had Motorola Milestone, that I managed to successfully flash with CM7 using information found here. Thanks to all for sharing their knowledge :).

Now I have switched to Milestone 2 (bought with CM10.1 by Engle_Mars nightly installed, and had some troubles upgrading to 10.2 but it finally worked, and I am happy :)). Thanks Engle_Mars for the great job.

There is one feature that I really miss from the previous Milestone. That is multipress, which allows you to double-press a key in the physical keyboard to make a national character associated with this key. For my language (Polish) it is for example a -> ą. This is much faster than the default long pressing and choosing the wanted character from the list, and I very much liked it in CM7 (it was under System Settings -> Device Settings). But in CM10.1 and CM10.2 from Engle_Mars I cannot find this feature. Is it not there, or am I overlooking it? Is there an app that could add this functionality? (I searched, but couldn't find any). If no, is it possible you could add this, Engle_Mars? I found mentions of this feature in threads for other phones using CM10, so I suppose it is a part of CM10, but didn't make it to Milestone 2 port for some reason.
[Milestone 2 General] Fedroid:
Czechop cm 10.2 version (4.3.1 jellybean) has polish characters. Have a try.
[Milestone 2 General] kaziq:
Thanks, but I am already using it :)

The problem is not in the Polish characters availability, because they are available with a long press (and touch), but in the far more convenient way of typing them by double pressing (no touching necessary).
[Milestone 2 General] Fedroid:
Active metakeys and hit alt-lock and then the key asigned.

To access polish letters, choose Qwerty polish in Settings->Language & Input->Sholes keypad->Set up keyboard layout. Use ALT LOCK or ALT LOCK + SHIFT to get polish letters. ALT LOCK + '?' is mapped to pipe symbol('|').

To use META key you have to turn off android hotkey shortcuts. Unfortunately lately they made this option invisible in settings. To open it you have to type this in terminal (with root access):

su

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchSettings

It is supposed that you can hit alt lock and another fisical key to get your polish characters (no double pressing but at least pressing two keys)

Greetings:highfive:
[Milestone 2 General] kaziq:
Thanks. That feature would be a bit less convenient, but still cool. But I can't make it working.

I called the QuickLaunchSettings, and cleared all shortcuts (there was no option to disable the whole QuickLaunch). Then I entered the Sholes keypad -> Set up keyboard layouts, and chose QWERTY-polish. After that Alt-lock works like before (one Alt-lock + letter gives that letter, another one gives the blue symbol on the same key). Adequately Alt-lock + ? does not give the pipe, but ? or /.

Maybe I should have disabled the QuickLaunch thing as a whole, but I can't find a way to do that.
[Milestone 2 General] Fedroid:
You need contact rabinhood, he will help you. He is the key master!:laugh:
[Milestone 2 General] rabinhood:
Hello.

First thing for not to get lost in JB keyboard is that keyboard mapping seems to be done in several "layers":

the closest to hardware is /system/usr/keylayout/sholes-keypad.kl (the exact file name may be different in different ROMs, but this file is used to manage built-in hardware qwerty, there are more files here for other devices - mostly bluetooth keyboards)

This file is used to translate hardware key scan codes to system key names (ALT, SPACE, A, B, C, and so on)

/system/usr/keychars/sholes-querty.kcm (name may also be different ie. snoles-keypad.kcm, more files are for different hardware)

This file is used for telling system what character should be displayed (entered) after pressing a particular key with or without particular modifier keys (what to enter after pressing A, SHIFT+A, ALT+A, META+A, and so on).

Both of these are simple text files, and can be edited directly, to achieve effects you have to reboot system. Also beware! If you mess up with these files, you may disable hardware keyboard completely! Then rescue is overwriting bad files with originals from backup.

options found in android settings -> keyboard (Polish-QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZ) work like overlays, if you enable them, the system will use mixture of original kcm file, and the overlay - so depending on what an overlay contents, it may disable some keys you defined in your kcm

So if you want to modify keyboard, you have to disable these overlays, otherwise you will not get any effect (and may become a bit frustrated, like I was before I found this).

I attach my latest files with Polish letters entered with ALT_RIGHT modifier (obtained after holding ALT key), blue symbols entered with ALT (obtained after pressing, then releasing ALT key, and then pressing apropriate letter key), Greek letters with META key (mapped on ALT_LOCK). To have uppercase letters you have to press SHIFT release SHIFT, then ALT+key for Polish letters, or same with META for Greek letters.

To have CAPS, you have to press SHIFT twice. To have ALT_LOCK, you have to press ALT twice.

I'm wondering. Right now I have, let's say, multi-ALT (acting like ALT_RIGHT when held, and like ALT when held and released). Maybe it will be possible to code META in exactly same way, so we'll have another modifier key (META_RIGHT), but that's just an idea, and I haven't researched that yet.

I also wanted to encode arrow characters (right, left, up and down arrows) on META-left, META-right and so on, but also haven't had time to do that yet.

Regards!

Chris

[edit]

Added arrow characters (META+left, META+right, etc). Added not equals sign (ALT+META+G), equal or smaller (ALT+META+Z), qual or greater (ALT+META+X), double tilda (ALT+META+~), euro (META+~).

New files in attachment.
[Milestone 2 General] kaziq:
Cześć :)

Thanks for the explanation. Only after Fedroid's suggestion to contact you I have checked the Czechop's CM10.2 thread (found some of your posts there), and found out that you were working on the Polish keyboard. The instruction Fedroid gave me was not working, because I was not using the latest Chechop's CM release. I have now upgraded, and the keyboard is working. However there are some very minor issues:

(I am not using the keys file you posted, but only the features in the rom (23.10.2013).

1. After installation there is no default on-screen keyboard (and you cannot set it). This makes the buttons (Menu, Back, and Search) and the physical keyboard not working at all. The solution is to switch the system to another language and back to Polish. It might be a bug (probably not yours), but I cannot post in the devel threads yet.

2. "Ń" does not work. I remember like 10 years ago I was making a charmap conversion feature for my program, and found out that there was a conflict (of char codes), that "Ń" could not be mapped. I don't remember the details, but I suppose it might be the case here too.

3. Pressing ALT(-Lock) + DEL or ALT(-Lock) and then DEL causes the whole SMS or sentence to be deleted. Since in the SMS app there is no indication of the ALT-Lock state, you can easily do that by an accident and there is no Undo. Is it possible to disable the ALT(-Lock) modifier on the DEL key (so that it will only delete the whole sentence when ALT(-Lock) is pressed together with DEL)?

Thanks for the work you are doing :).
[Milestone 2 General] rabinhood:
Hello.

Czechop has included in his ROM some older version of my files. Without META key, and with ALT_RIGHT mapped to "ALT LOCK" key. Honestly speaking, I cannot tell much about his implementation, since first thing I do after his ROM flash is I overwrite sholes-keypad kl & kcm files with my own (with more features). I also encourage You to do so, since my files seem not to be affected with at least bugs 1 and 2 You presented.

Ad1: I have no problems with on-screen keyboard - if hardware keyboard if closed, on-screen version pops up. Also four capacitive buttons under screen work flawlessly.

Ad2: I have no problems with Ń (right now I've entered it with my hardware keyboard). Czechop told me about some problems with Ń, that system is not able to recognize too big number of keys pressed simultanously, and somehow Ń was suffering, but as you can see I've just entered it for the second time with no problems.

Ad3: I don't know how to fix it. Del key doesn't appear in kcm file, and I don't know how to modify it. And yes, pressing Del+ALT removes whole line, which is quite annoying. I'll do some more investigation, and maybe I'll find something.

Regards! It's nice to see, that at least in the field of MS2 android development Poland has some real power! :-ł
[Milestone 2 General] kaziq:
Thanks. I finally decided to try your files out, but I have hit a serious problem. When I tried to rename the file /system/usr/keychars/sholes-qwerty.kcm for a backup, I couldn't do it. I tried the ES File Explorer (root mode on), and it showed "the task did not succeed". I also tried typing su then mv sholes-qwerty.kcm sholes-qwerty-old.kcm while in the right directory, and got "Read-only files system".

How do I apply your files?
[Milestone 2 General] hamuchen:
If czechops rom uses your key mapping files, i like to thank you rabinhood. Works well with german umlauts out of the box. And thanks to this thread I found out how to use them.

Greetings

hamu
[Milestone 2 General] rabinhood:
If you have problems with root access from file manager, I think the easiest and most reliable way to modify system files is:

1. Enter bootloader menu.

2. Select Tools -> USB Mount tools -> Share system

3. It should be recognized and mounted on your PC. (I'm running Linux, I think Windows won't be able to mount ext3/ext4 partition without some extra software.)

4. To copy files you have to be logged as root.

If I want to copy these files from running Android, I use ROM Toolbox Pro -> Root explorer.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Umlauts are Czechop's job. Say "thank you" to him. :)
[Milestone 2 General] kaziq:
Thanks. I used the bootloader and a small linux pc (OpenPandora), and it worked :).

But now only the Polish characters work with ALT-hold. Greek does not work (ALT-Lock + key does not produce anything), but ALT-Lock + arrows also work. It doesn't matter for me, because I don't use Greek letters, and this way is more comfortable for Polish chars.

A small quirk: Capital Polich characters work with Shift + ALT + key pressed as well as Shift press and release and then ALT + key. Except for... Ń, which works only with the latter :). It's not an issue for me, just a funny notice.

Thanks again for this.
[Milestone 2 General] hamuchen:
Ah, ok. Then, nevermind. But thank you anyway for not letting this device die. ;)

Greetings

hamu
[Milestone 2 General] rabinhood:
Oh, yes, now I see what's going on with Ń. I haven't noticed it before, as I always press SHIFT, release it, and press ALT+key. Czechop told me that it is some kind of bug in keyboard hardware driver not dealing with too many keys pressed at the same time (but in particular N key).

My Greek letters are working, I don't know what might happen. Just in case I attach again latest version of kl/kcm files. Please copy them over files you have now, and remember to disable any keyboard overlays in CM10.2 settings.

Thanks.

I've just upgraded my GT-P7510 to Android 4.04

I want to install a USB Internet Dongle, but this version of Android doesn't have 'Mobile Networks' available in the Wireless and Networks Settings, so I can't install the Dongle

The issue is not with the version of Android but with the variant of the device. P7510 means WiFi only tablet without 3G capability and therefore no mobile network settings.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh24:
Hi John

I found this out yesterday from another member and can't believe that 3G isn't a standard feature.

Is there an application that will give me 3G Networking, I was reading that XDA Senior Member Bhaskar1109 had figured out a way of bypassing this incompatibility, allowing for any 3G broadband dongle to connect to any rooted Android tablet, would this still apply to a non-3G version of the tablet.

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
You know there are 2 versions of galaxy tab 10.1 right? The P7510, which is the WiFi ONLY version and the P7500, which is the WiFi + 3g version. You currently have the P7510, which does not have a modem. If you want to use 3g, then you have to get the P7500. AFAIK there is no way to bypass this incompatibility. If there is such a thing, why would people even buy the 3g version then?

[General Questions and Answers] svenjens:
Hi,

I am currently owning a Sony Tablet S 16GB WiFi. I would like to replace it, because of some errors like unstable WiFi and sudden system shutdowns.

The main usage for a new device would be internet and email at home and some games. I don't need to have 3G in the tablet.

Currently I am thinking about the following two tablets:

- a used Asus Transformer Infinity TF700T with 64GB and without key dock

- a new Pipo M9 Pro with 32GB and 3G

Both will be 10.1" providing the same screen resolution.

What do you think would be the better option? Go for a used tablet from a large brand, or try a new Chinese tablet?

Regards
