Your efforts are most appreciated.

(Благодаря много)

May you make it for all keyboard views? They are rare used but now looks unfinished.

Also providing of CAB is appreciated for easy removal if such is necessary.

By the way small letter ь is not changing to capital letter Ь when switching to capital letters layout. Also ABC button is not changing to 123 when switching between letters / digits layout. But these are minor disadvantages. Many thanks for the keyboard.

Is it not easier to take this Russian keyboard :

I have a problem editing Compact QWERTY layout - I am able to change the symbols that appear on the screen, but the input stays french??? So I need help changing it

Hopefully, it will be done.

Well, capital "ь" does not exist in Bulgarian - I can add it , but the only use of it is you write in CAPSLOCK :)

Working on it at the moment.

Thanx for the tips and the feedback, I need any info to make it better :):)I will check the link

Two years ago I converted Football Russian layout for original HD keyboard to Bulgarian layout. But now I have no time to do same for Football_touch_HD2_Keyboard (Russian layout for original HD2 kayboard).

I still think this is the easiest/fastest way to make Bulgarian layout for HD2 and suggest you to go this way.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] deckoff:
Well, the cab I see consists of some picture files, a dll file, a mui file and some reg entries. Since the dll file is the biggest in size i suppose this is the location of the layouts.

BUT... I dont know how to edit it. If you can help me with some info how to edit the file, I will do the rest.

I wrote to the one who posted the keyboard,too.

I will post it in pocketbulgaria soon. Right now I managed to find most of the files the "football keyboard" refers to, I am doing a new one with bg/en toggle button. I have problem fixing the input of phone and compact keyboards. The letters shown are changed but the actual input is not. I simpy cannot find the files that control the input of these two layouts. It is strange, that the encoding in all 4 layouts is coded in similar xml files, but the behaviour is not!!!!

The other limitation is the sign "Russian" in the keyboard menu, that most probably will stay...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] deckoff:
Well, posting ROM should be done in ROMs subsection. Original ROM without crappy software is a good idea. I think there is a limitation of the size of the files one can upload. So, probably, rapidshare or mediafile or s/t.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pankov:
deckoff,

great work!!!

I'm really glad somebody finally made a Bulgarian layout for the default HTC keyboard.

I have a couple ideas that I think may improve the layout even further:

1. Is it possible to have the "EN/BG" and "ABC/12#" buttons as a single one which cycles through EN/12#/BG? If this is possible and you substitute the XT9/ABC button with a letters one ... for example put "ю/ь" on it and move "ш/щ" in the place freed up by "EN/BG" we can have the "." and "," in their original places.

2. Is it possible and would you consider changing the places of the arrows keys? I think they will be more comfortable and intuitive if they are order like this left - up - down - right instead of up - down - left - right. What do you think?

3. And finally - would you consider making a "new phonetic" layout - the one that is the official standard for phonetic keyboard? I know this is huge dispute but as this is the "new" and a little bit optimized layout I think we should try and promote it.

...

P.S.

I have a little problem with the location of the XT9/ABC button in the English layout. I think it's moved two pixels down and there is some kind of line showing up. Here is what I'm talking about:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] deckoff:
1) No :( This is skinning effort, and I cannot aдd any new functionality to the keyboard. The original russian layout is very interesting, with about 35 buttons. The XT9 button could be easily removed, and a new button added. The cycling key I cannot add. (dont know how yet)

2) Not a problem at all, it could be done, and will be done

3)well, if we shake hands on how the new phonetic(aka new BDS) on this layout should look like, it can be done. Although the so called old is getting more and more support it was included in win 7 and ubuntu(for these OS Iknow,) so it is probably here to stay

PS -will look to it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pankov:
1) OK - I had to ask. btw can you show us a picture of the original russian layout? If it had 35 buttons I think we can arrange our 30 letters easier ... but you've probably tried it, right? I'm just trying to find a way not to lose "(" in the BG "ABC".

2) 10x

3) I'll try to make some kind of mockup for the "new phonetic" and post it here tomorrow. I think it will be worth the effort - after all it's a result of a scientific study and I think it's better ... especially for the new users ... and to be honest it's very easy to get used to even though I used the old one for years it took me only a few days to adapt to the new one ... and believe me - it's more comfortable.

if you are curious you can read some info about the research for the "new phonetic" here

Everything is Ok with the new 1.2.5 version. 10x:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] deckoff:
The only reason for not using the russian layout is - more buttons = smaller buttons = more mistypes. I fat-fingered. ;) The russian layout is a little big bigger and comes with smaller buttons. Yeah, I noticed the "(" missing issue, the layout is done in a haste, started 5 days ago, so I'll fix it (probably will remove the + sign and move ю above m. You can find a lnk to the russian keyboard, it is in post 4 or 5, and is called Football russian s/t.

If you wish to install it to have a look at it, remove the BG first, soft reset. TO go back to BG, remove the russian first and soft reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuwait:
You have "(" on the English layout and on 12# layout. So I do not see any necessity to have it on BG layout as well. BG language just have too many letters :)

The work done is sufficient. However some minor ommisins should be rectified.

1)While pressing BG/EN button on the appeared black scuare with magnified button content BG of EN is missing - only the black scuare is there. Not big issue but believe is easy to correct.

2)Wibration on pressing of button is very short. How to restore the default one?

3)If switch to T9 in EN layout BG layout also works in T9, trying to find corresponding rusian word. Is it as per the design? Suggest to have the same ABC/T9 button working in BG layout in this case.

It just edits the dictionary,I am inclined to believe this is the ldb file, I found one for BG in a SE Xperia 2 rom, follows the same naming convention as the files in HD2 ROMs. The kdb files there does not :( The kd files ( I suppose) will help us to type in t9(hopefully), solve the weird behavour of the keyboard in t9 mode.

Everything stated above is based on guessing and assumptions!!!

I posted a fix how to set back the default vibration. The empty feedback button requires some time and tweaking, but will be fixed probably(hopefully) Adding XT9 button is not a problem.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] deckoff:
WOW. This is something I havent found since now. I wil lcontact the developers. Unfortunately, I dont get many answers when I ask, almost no one of the people I contacted for help answered me, but still.

If I have the knowledge ( I know only html and css) and get the dev tools, I might add even the xt9 suort working.

For the time being, I plan to swap the arrow keys, to add the xt9 button in Port layout, and move the "ю" symbol above м
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuwait:
I do not see the reason of change arrow keys places. Present positions seems more resonable as if you miss the position you are using the opsosite key to return a step. So oposite keys should be close. But mayby the new positions will be nore comfortable for ganers. However you may post 2 variants of the keyboard -with normal keys positions and with corrected. Also will appreciate if dailer skin is in a separate CAB not connected to keyboard installation. If somebody want to change the skin further with other one he can do it without deinstalation of keyboard.

Thanks for the vibration - works like before.

Pay attention there are 2 options T9 & XT9 - second works for compact querty and phone key pad layouts. We have XT9 on HD2. May be the .kdb file consurns the above mentioned 2 layouts.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] deckoff:
New version was added and the header of the Theme was slightly changed, I think it is easier to understand the info that way.

I wrote to almost everyone to help m with editing ad adding the t9, but alas no answers:(

Big THANK YOU goes to kuwait, for doing everything possible to help me!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuwait:
Many thanks to deckoff for the great benefit of Bulgarian keyboard

Regarding vibration you may change the streight (duration) of vibration on key press by modifying index_rus.xml file. Open it with NotePad and find on the second row sentence:

vib_lvl="3"

You may change the value from "1" to "4". In the CAB it is "1". Original value is "3".

Save the file and put it in \Windows directory of the phone. (confirm overwright).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuwait:
Dear deckoff, looks like to make a T9 working in Bg language you should first edit the file:

eT9.Rhodium.0419.kmap.txt

from \Windows directory which contains the QUERTY keypad chars coding for Russian language which is in use for XT9 input. Presently the chars coding in above mentioned file is different than in Bulgaria layout in EzInput keyboard. Hence when pres the Bulgarian key "я" in the normal input appears "я" but XT9 accept it as Russian letter "й". After that done we will think for next step - dictionary etc. I found one t9bg.ldb file but not sure if it will fit for xt9.

Even if I am not right, it worths to check.

CHECKED DO NOT WORK. Obviously it is for hardware keyboard. Explained here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Rhodium/ChangingKeyboardLayout

Actually the file 0D19.kdb should be corrected as per BG layout. Unfortunately nobody knows how.

Also original .kdb & .ldd files for Bulgarian on HD2 are not available in Internet. I searched all net - nothing found. Hence looks like we should abandon the idea to make xt9 working in Bulgarian.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rossiza:
Great work! The biggest advantage over all custom keyboards (FingerKeboard, SlideIt...) is the contact prediction in the message address bar. All custom keyboards give a prediction list after you delete a character in the name typed.

However the biggest disadvantage - missing BDS layout. I am used to it (touch typist) while with the phonetic I have to search for every single letter.

Could you point to some guidelines so I rearrange the letters myself? I did it already for FingerKeyboard. Thank you.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] deckoff:
i wrote to the XT9 company to allow me to download the developers tools, but no answer.

I think I am desperate enough to write HTC and ask for info bout the kdb...

If this fails, the idea for xt9 in BG will have to be forgotten.

I promised and I will post tutorial, hopefully tomorrow, I have a severe HD problem on my laptop, and installing new OS now..

Crash course goes this way - find in /windows folder 0C19(landscape) and 0D19(port)

These files define the BG layout. Editable in notepad easily. Inside look for something like <char>0412</char>. The 4 numbers define the Unicode code of a letter. Change it to a value you like. For list of codes, search for list of unicode characters. I found the Wiki page most convenient.

What do you mean??? I think this is BG phonetic???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuwait:
I think it is HTC duty to provide Bulgarian language if we buy their phones. They did not provide it. Hence we are in our rights to require from them proper support if we want to make it ourself. Suggest to be more sharp when you wright them and send a strong request. Explain to them the work that is already done and what we need to complete it.

No there is not official Sense localization for Serbian niether a Serbian keyboard or available Serbian t9/xt9 for WM. That's not a HTC fault but fault of our mobile providers who don't have a need to pay for it.

Actually, the files that define t9 are present( or at least I think so, the ldb file is the word list file) I found the Bulgarian in an Xperia ROM. I think this is the most difficult to be done. The other things is much easier. That is why I am angry it was not difficult to add it, T9 for BG(and probably Serbian) is out there..

Dear Deckoff,

thank you very much for the bulgarian layout. I've just installed "deckoff HD2 BG layout-withPhoneCanvas1.4.5" but I have a issue - font colour is white and small symbols are almost invisible not black as shown in screenshots.

I use Miri & Dinik v19.0 ROM with integrated Dinik's Anastasia - Keyboard v3.0. A screenshot is attached to the message.

Is there a way to change colour to black ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] deckoff:
This seems to be an issue with the ROM you are using, most probably the setting that is black in the shipped ROM was changed to white in Miri ans Dinik's. Do you remember what was the color of the keyboard letters before install. Could it have been white letters on black keys???

Edit:

Well So it is. The keyboard color font is changed. Will look to it and if they ansew where the setting is hidden, I'll tell you how to change it.

Checked version 1.4.5 but no .com & .bg appears on 2/2 symbol pad (in Opera or IE). Meanwhile interval changes to 2 keys - .com & \ (in Opera or IE). It is convenient but little bit ugly. They are not separate buttons but only a vertical line separates .com & \ in one button. Do not know if this is an original feature or in result of your CAB.
