[HTC Excalibur] vivid22:
Would be nice having such a Fix for the German keyboard layout as well...it recognizes all the symbols, except of CAP and 0...hope somebody can help:)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Send me the german keyboard map, text file and I'll fix it for you.
[HTC Excalibur] slobalt:
Are you supposed to install it like a cab file because it's not working for me
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
Yes, you install it like a .cab, then you reboot.
[HTC Excalibur] robbdbz:
i dont know if it worked yet but after i installed it on my tmobile dash with windows 6.1 it informed me that the program might not work because it was designed for a previous version of software.................... YESS THANKS SOOO MUCH IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM I APPRECIATE THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN ABOVE
[HTC Excalibur] korzyn:

Which S620 Version?

I'm not sure which S620 version I have -- it is European and has the QWERTY layout, with the symbols for the British Pound, US Dollar, and Euro on the J, K, and L keys respectively.

I have the latest KAVANA WM6.1 ROM installed (GREAT!). However, I believe I mistakenly installed the US English Dash key map, which works great for the letters a-z, but some of the symbols do not match the keys (FN-Q is % instead of !, FN-N is & instead of @, etc.). I'm guessing this is a UK English keyboard, since I bought this S620 from eBay and it has a 220V charger. Anyway, any ideas how I get the map to match all the symbols on my keyboard?

I've done quite a bit of searching different threads on this forum but have not so far been able to find the answer.
[HTC Excalibur] kurilo:
me too

i have same device with same keyboard.

please help
[HTC Excalibur] seucuca:
Hi,

I think my phone is french. Check this pic below:

http://ouziel.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/route_66.jpg

My keyboard layout is like this...

Can a .cab file be done to fix the wm6.1 kavana update ???

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] kurilo:
hello.

here is attached picture of my keyboard. please help us creating keymap file for this device.

can someone tell me the origin of my keyboard? is it Europe or US?
[HTC Excalibur] Rip Syntaxx:
It looks to be a UK or British keyboard. The British pounds symbol is on one of the keys. That's a sure sign that it's not a US keyboard.
[HTC Excalibur] spikeyfella:
Any uk keyboard mapping support

hey all, is there a uk keyboard mapping cab file yet?
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Check in your \Start Menu\My Tools\Extras

do you have a file called "Excalibur eT9 Changer" if you do....click on it and choose the respective layout you need.

You can pick from:

UK Excalibur KeyMap

USA Excalibur KeyMap

Spanish Excalibur KeyMap

Portuguese Excalibur KeyMap

German Excalibur KeyMap

Italian Excalibur KeyMap

If not i can upload the the files needed.
[HTC Excalibur] Pummel454:
Maybe I am missing something...?? When I go to my Start Menu...I don't see a MY Tools?
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Which Rom are you using??
[HTC Excalibur] spikeyfella:
Key mapp works

i installed the full mapping cab and all is good now. Also, i have no 'my tools' in the start menu. i installed the kavana 6.1 rom.
[HTC Excalibur] steve_bev:
When I do a long press-and-hold on the period and comma keys, I don't get a semi-colon or colon... just a period or comma. But when I do alt-period or alt-comma, then I do get the semi-colon and colon. I think these are the only keys this happens on, at least that I've seen so far. Anyone else?
[HTC Excalibur] beartard:
Yes, it's a fairly common thing with the new ROMs. Neither of the t9 fixes will help you with it.
[HTC Excalibur] mrmikemcguire:
thanks guys worked like a charm
[HTC Excalibur] Vampirezuk:
I have also tried to download ET9, and although its allowing me to use the full keys, its obvious the layout are US and not UK. Is there a .cab or suggestion to make this a fully functioning UK keyboard. I have upgraded my 620s to 6.1
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Here you go guys....Hope this helps.

You can pick from:

UK Excalibur KeyMap

USA Excalibur KeyMap

Spanish Excalibur KeyMap

Portuguese Excalibur KeyMap

German Excalibur KeyMap

Italian Excalibur KeyMap

Drop the shortcut anywhere you'd like. (remember where you placed it for future reference)

The rest of the files get dropped in the \windows folder.

Click on the shortcut, then pick the layout you'd like.

Restart your phone at least a couple times for it to kick in.

[HTC Excalibur] jacknmary:
ALT + SPACE will do it...but you have to do that every time. Its not permanent
[HTC Excalibur] eamaro:

Start menu trouble

Hey guys.

I have the same problem. I am using wm6.1 the one Kavana updated. I am also having a problem with the keyboard. I have the US style, but my "a" is a spacebar, my "f" is an "m", etc, and lots others like that. I also tried pasting Tegic eT9 US english cab file into the phone but that didnt do anything, i rebooted and everything.

Another issue I am having along with my "start" button is that it only goes to "recent programs" nothing else. I have checked the hardfiles on my phone and i have the apps such as windows live messenger, etc, but I cant find it on my phone when i want to use it.

Help would be greatly appriciated!

Noobie here
[HTC Excalibur] Karinal:
Help! - Im in the same situation same phone. The first 4 keys of every key row in the phone are not functioning in English US. I have to press every key many times "guessing" to find the letter Im looking for.

I tried installing the Tegic eT9 US English.CAB but I got that the installation was UNsuccesfull.. Dont know what to do.

Any help/pointer is much appreciated!
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Which rom do you have installed...Kavanas DOES Not have that folder...that folder is only on Rickys Rom.

Pasting?? how do you paste a cab...you need to install it once on your phone.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Thats because "Swedish" is NOT listed.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Try reboooting your phone first..try again. If not try and search for a cab file app unlock. install that...reboot then reinstall the Tegic cab again...reboot again.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Seems like you are a bright guy...looking from the number of posts and all.....Did you happen to read the whole thread at all?

cause i posted a cab for multiple layouts in post number 22
[HTC Excalibur] ahmadiqbal:
I have Kavana's ROM. I have looked to find Ricky's but I dont know where it is. To install Ricky's do I do the same thing as with Kavana's, is that another wm6.1 rom upgrade or is it an add-on or something to Kavana's? Can someone tell me where I can et Ricky's?

So then after I install Ricky's I have to install the keyboard fix?

Thanks for all your help
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:

[HTC Excalibur] m2736185:
Im sure there are other people out there that has been making the same mistake as me...I have been unzipping the file in windows and coping the individual files to the phone and wondering why I am unable to execute the files...but i realize that the cab file is the file and you just copy it to the phone and run it then reboot - very simple.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I was doing a cleanup on SKTools and removed the eT9.cab and guess what all my keys work, with long press and are mapped correctly, have rebooted the phone and still all works, don't know if that is a fix?

UPDATE:

No it's not as had to use backup from before it was tweaked and i'm back to using FN for : ; :(

eT9 problems

I just want to say that I love this forum! I've found it so useful and I've been able to play around with various roms, software programs and the registry:eek:

I installed Kavana's rom two days ago and like everyone else was not happy to discover that the keyboard mapping was all screwed up. So, I did what everyone on here does. I did some research, downloaded the eT9 full cab and voila!.... Well not quite voila (I should have downloaded the eT9 tegic US english cab instead but for some reason I wasn't able to because I kept getting an error). Anyway, eT9 full cab has the UK english key mapping (I needed the US english one) and not only that, it is all screwy: When you long press "0" (zero), you don't get Tab, when you long press period (full stop) you don't get "colon" and when you long press "comma", you don't get semi-colon. But thanks to Menneisyys (you are a genius), I was able to getting everything fixed without having to download the US key mapping cab.

So, this is what I did to fix the problem:

I fixed the "eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt" file (you will find it in the program files folder on your phone) by modifying the following entries:

Instead of {0xBC , ; , 0xff} // 0xBC = VK_COMMA you should have {0xBC , ; ; 0xff} // 0xBC = VK_COMMA

and instead of {0xBE . : . 0xff} // 0xBE = VK_PERIOD you should have

{0xBE . : : 0xff} // 0xBE = VK_PERIOD

I still haven't figured out the tabs script... Does anyone know what it is? This is what I have, {0 0x30 0 0 0xff} // 0x30 = VK_TAB but still long press doesn't produce a tab.

Cheers
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Do you mean you was getting an error while trying to d/l the eT9 tegic US or on the install?
[HTC Excalibur] djspinn:
THANK YOU!
[HTC Excalibur] jah1138:
I have the following line:

{0 0x09 0 0 0xff} // 0x30 = VK_TAB

It works great! As opposed to your description, though, the short press is Tab (as it's the primary function) and the long press is 0 (it's the alt function, like the other numbers).

guys, i have the azerty version of the s620 and now i've updated to 6.1 it went to qwerty, i tried everything, instaling the et9 file to the phone, etc. but nothing happens, how do i get my azerty back?

greetings from Belgium!

aargh, come on, nobody knows that specific question? i searched the whole internet and couldn't find it :s

please help!
[HTC Excalibur] satani:
if i take the eT9.keyboard.0407.kmap.txt from my german WM6 and replace the file later on in WM6.1 (thinking of upgrading to kava's ROM) Would this work? So that i keep my current german Keyboard-layout or not?

Ok, found out myself : it won't work.

Well - the included et9-Files in this thread here are useless as it detects the grey numeric-keys as standard numpad from any 11-key mobilephone, so i get for W 'ABC1.", for E "DEF2," and so on, the other keys work, but only lower case and without FN-Functions. so well.

so i tried the eT9Full.cab included in Kavana's Post: well, this works much better, i have (at least) a full english layout with everything working (so Cabs lock, CAPITAL LETTERS, symbols, and FN-Function, Numbers and everything. So far better than nothing. (Maybe i'm gonna hack around this file for getting me the correct FN-Icons and Z for Y. so german layout.

edit: just found out: This eT9 is multlanguage : you just have to open any document, press FN-SPACE and change the Langugage - so everything WORKS!!

SO IN SHORT FOR EVERYONE HAVING TROUBLE WITH INPUT AND KAVANA'S ROM :

INSTALL THE eT9-Full.cab from Kavana's Thread, Open/Create any Document, PRESS "FN"+"SPACEBAR" - CHANGE LANGUAGE!!
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Thanks

Thank you for your great job.

I was having keypad issues (portuguese-Brazilian), and after some dumb stuff, i realized ET9 MUST be installed on device, NOT on storage card.

I was getting on my nerves...almost re-flashing it back to 6.0 (from HTC).

After that tiny mistake, everything works GREAT!!!

Edited:

Oooops i think there is something wrong... i can´t type CAPITALIZED LETTERS, because CAP (upper arrow) key doesn´t work.
[HTC Excalibur] Jhordan:
Hi Joeskull!

I am having the same CAPS/SHIFT problem in all non English keyboard layouts. The CAPS/SHIFT works only in the ENGLISH eT9 language.

I read all the thread... still didn't find an answer.

I tryied to use de ENGLISH keyboard .txt layout config file renamed to Portuguese, but still the same trouble. Well, it seems the T9 kayboard layout is not the problem here... the keys are correct, only the CAPS/SHIFT is not working.

There might be other REGISTRY settings when we change the T9 language to PORTUGUESE? ... just a guess ...

Still looking for a way to fix the CAPS/SHIFT problem... :(
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Sorry didn't read correctly
[HTC Excalibur] nbradford:
If you live in US I have a completely flawless keyboard fix for this device!
[HTC Excalibur] Jhordan:
I meant that the eT9_full.cab that is available at the Karvana thread is working nicely, despite that in all other languages than ENGLISH the CAPS key (upper arrow or SHIFT key) does not work.

So, I am looking for any help in getting the CAPS key working on the other languages, such as PORTUGUESE.

Get?
[HTC Excalibur] MalingCewek:
I was such an idiot :) I kept rebooting the US Dash since I read it somewhere you might need to reboot a few times. Did that and copy over the keyboard eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt over to Dash and still not working. Reboot a few more time and still not working.

Finally going back to first post :D reinstall Tegis eT9 US English.CAB from http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=90606&d=1212678688 and after reboot... voila... US Dash keyboard is back.

Confirmed this fixed the US Dash T-Mobile keyboard problem showing Alt-J as @ instead of £. Alt-Q as % instead of !.

Thanks pudgedaddy
[HTC Excalibur] j0nno:
et9 full downloaded and unrar'd onto computer. inside i have _setup.xml and files 000-037. (have a feeling i gone wrong already)

i run setup on computer it opens xml page.

so i close it because it seems like nothing happening after.

i then copy / paste the whole folder et9 onto phone in the windows directory and click on setup in there, it opens as before on computer, but gets stuck at 11kb almost halfway through. (i know i am wrong now at this point)getting red face........

i can imagine i have already done wrong here, reading other posts, but in between the tears of laughter at a noob, is there any who can tell me where i've gone wrong. i know it is frustrating for some of you dealing with silly things like this, so my appologies in advance and gratitude.

it is frustrating reading and trying for hours, i have seen people say click on shortcut? where?. what? (is _setup.xml the shortcut or i am i missing something in the files).
[HTC Excalibur] Jhordan:
j0nno,

It's simple and easy:

1) copy the eT9 full .cab to your phone's "My Documents" directory;

2) run .cab (in the phone's Files Explorer) and follow the white rabbit!

3) will ask to reset...

4) In phone's notepad, press FN+ESPACE to configure your eT9.

If you will use other language than ENGLISH, you might get stuck at the CAPS/SHIFT key trouble just like me...
[HTC Excalibur] j0nno:
thanks jhordan for replying. the et9 full.cab shows as a winrar file on the computer when you download it, so naturally you unrar it:o, but if you transfer that straight over to the phone into my docs with out unraring it, then it shows as a cab file and installs.

all done now.:D

i had to open up office mobile word and press the fn+space to choose xt9version, and the grey buttons are now working as they should, especially when trying to type a web address in.

many thanks for your time. frustrating time that has been.:)
[HTC Excalibur] GJSmith3rd:
Tegic eT9 US cab worked for me without problems. Everything worked OK under WM6.1 except the long press. I've been using the symbols app to access the correct long press keys for quite some time. I finally decided to try the fix that I had seen in the forums previously. Works like a charm.
[HTC Excalibur] s0ngtrist:
how do you install this?
[HTC Excalibur] GJSmith3rd:
I just installed the eT9 US cab to the devices memory (not memory card) and it worked.
