[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] drxela:
Hello, thank you for your anwers. I appreciate it.

I´ve tried the 2 ways above. I think it doesn´t work:

-First Way: I edited the qwerty.kcm.bin file as you said, 28 to F3. It seems a logical way, but not. When I wrote ALT+O, it appears only o. (Maybe ATL key is bad-mapped too)

-Second Way: I press SHIFT+ALT+E. It write E, then I press e again and...only e. But I´ve studied the original binary file and the last column of the row isn´t "é". I´m going to add it and I will try again.

Regards

EDITED: No. I´ve added "é" character to the last column of the row E and I press SHIFT+ALT+E , then e again. Nothing.

EDITED 2: I´ve found a function in KeyEvent list of Android Developers.

public static int getDeadChar (int accent, int c)

Since: API Level 1

[B]Get the character that is produced by putting accent on the character c. For example, getDeadChar('`', 'e') returns è.[/B]

Any idea with that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CuriousTech:
I'd guess it's your ALT key since it's not mapping the right characters. Try KeyTest and see what the scancode is for it. It should be 56 or 100. If not, you need to add it to querty.kl
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] drxela:
I´ve used KeyTest. ALT gives me Scancode 56 and Keycode 57.

ALT GR gives me Scancode 100 and Kecode 58.

It seems they are correctly mapped.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CuriousTech:
Well, that's all I've got. Those are the codes it's expecting. It could be loading a different file which would explain why changes aren't working. You'd have to start logcat and watch it when you connect the keyboard. If it's loading querty.kl then I have no idea.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] drxela:
Thank you again.

I´ve installed Logcat and I´ve monitored KeyEvent. When I press any key at bluetooth keyboard it returns it:

It seems the system tries to open a bluetooth HID file which doesn´t exist. So Android opens the default file qwerty.kcm.bin

PD: The .KL file is qwerty.kl cause I remaped a function there and It works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CuriousTech:
Right. You can copy qwerty.kcm.bin as Broadcom_Bluetooth_HID.kcm.com and it will use that instead. It might be useful for keeping the standard one original. It seems to all be the same as mine, so not sure why it's not working. When modifying the files, I disconnect the keyboard and reconnect to make it reload.

The line for E is:

000120 12 00 00 00 45 00 33 00 65 00 45 00 32 00 01 03 !...E.3.e.E.2...

So the special character is 01 03 (301h) which is a Diacritical Mark (from wikipedia). It looks like that's the proper one to get it into that mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] drxela:
Sorry, but I don´t understand that.

what do 01 03 mean? At character row, the two character at end are ..

Should I write anything there?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CuriousTech:
This might be hard to explain.

000120 12 00 00 00 45 00 33 00 65 00 45 00 32 00 01 03 !...E.3.e.E.2...

The red 2 bytes are the character. Just like the F3 you changed. It may be easier to do that. Go back to where you put the F3. You'll see "F3 00" Change that to "01 03"
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] drxela:
Ok. Done. I changed F3 and 00 to 01 03. Same result pressing keys.

I think something is wrong. Some changes works (´ instead APOSTROPHE) and other changes don´t work.

I don´t know what character corresponds to each combination of keys (like SHIFT, FN...) at last row.

For example:

21 00 00 00 45 00 33 00 65 00 45 00 32 00 01 03 !...E.3.e.E.2...

How I obtain ! and 2 of there at keyboard?

Regards. I appreciate so much your answers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CuriousTech:
! is an ASCII representation of 21h (33 decimal) the scancode. It just displays like that. The 2 is in the ALT column and you should get a 2 when pressing ALT+E. That's problem #1. I just noticed it will look like 'e if I'm using Swype instead of the Samsung keypad so it appears that's an important factor as well. I don't have the Android keyboard in mine right now to test.

I figured these all out by just trying combinations, i.e. shift, alt, ctrl, windows, shift+ctrl, alt+ctrl, shift+fn. alt+ctrl sends a completely different scancode for example.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] drxela:
Yes. For that, I don´t understand it. Something is wrong with my files or my keyboard... At binary file, it appears 2, but when I press ALT+E, it doesn´t works...

Mmm..Maybe the Samsung Virtual Keyboard uses other characters file...I don´t know how do I monitor it to find that hypothetical file.

Not for my keyboard. ALT+E gives me the same scancode that E alone. Only the FN key gives me a different scancode with E, for example.

All (ALT+CTRL, SHIFT + CONTROL...) don´t send a new scancode. They send the scancode of the last key pressed.

If ALT+CTRL = scancode of CTRL.

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CuriousTech:
Just like everything on the Android, it's incomplete, not very standardized and not well documented. :)

I installed Cognition 4.2 which is 2.2 based and was using Perception which 2.2.1 based. Now none of the keyboards allow it to put the e under the´ the way it did, but the Android keyboard makes the BT keyboard caps lock work which it didn't before so all the keyboards work differently with BT.

The 3 main keyboards are AxT9IME.apk, LatinIME.apk and Swype.apk

Here's one that works (CWM install). It may overwrite another one so you might want to make a backup first.

Setup

Finally have my set up complete, now all i need is a new tv in order to have a biiger screen. But so far i have my setup complete and working flawless for writing mails do some simple surfing and use my keyboard as a remote for my music (i9000 connected to my speakers)

Its so woth it, no more booting my pc for just a mail or some searching!

Mouse Cursor

I've bought mini bluetooth keyboard on ebay. It actually works, but android 2.3.3 shows mouse cursor while it is connected in the middle of the screen. Does somebox know the way how to remove it or at least auto-hide it? It is really anoying
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CuriousTech:
That means your keyboard supports the bluetooth mouse profile. It has a mouse built in. Move the pointer to the right side or bottom of the screen to get it out of the way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] nsa666:
Unfortunatly it does not!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnYIXyG4UWI (not my video but it looks like it is the same keyboard)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CuriousTech:
Interesting. There's no pointer in the video, so it's probably something with 2.3.3 and not the keyboard.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kpriess:
Did someone find a compatible bluetooth gamepad..?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] the fez:
did someone tried this keyboard? does it works?

ops. Sorry guys. I thought it was a bluetooth keyboard :D

but it is wireless... lol

2.3.3 shift-key problem

Seems 2.3.3 has a problem with my apple wireless keyboard.

After I use shift or start a new line it seems Caps is locked and i have to delete/backspace to remove the CAPS.

Minor bug but it annoys me a lot :mad:

anyone found a solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CuriousTech:
Try to find a keyboard from the market. The keyboard app itself has a lot to do with how it reacts to the BT keyboard. I'm not sure about compatibility with 2.3.3 though, so always backup first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tatsuya79:
I just bought a Zeemote on ebay, it's working as intended with Bluez IME app from the market.

But... the design feels so wrong in hand! the trigger is recessed (such a bad idea) and the two main buttons are separated by a plastic border which is annoying as hell.

Anyway, worth the price of 10€.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] thirru:
I wasn't happy with the Zeemote either, with is why I kept looking for another bluetooth gamepad and eventually found a PS1 like gamepad that I got to work with Bluez-IME recently. And this week, I just got my Captivate and it works perfect with it.I made a post about it at the Android Accessories forum at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033409 . Maybe it's worth having a look if you are looking for a decent gamepad.

I bought a third party wii remote at walmart, smaller than the original and it was only $20. Think it's hip street or something. Also got a couple of old game pads at value village, think there may be some modding in my future.

Hello everyone, I have a samsung galaxy s (froyo 2.2 nejp5) to connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse I have to install blueimput or bluekeyboard? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kblood:
Sounds like a strange kernel for Froyo. Are you sure that version supports HID? Might just be that you are in another country or something. My Froyo is XWJP6 and the firmware I think it must be, is version I9000XXJPM.

Kernel 3.6.32.9

To install click search for bluetooth devices while your Keyboard is turned on, and it is probably best if you click its connect button at the same time. Then when you begin to pair the phone and they keyboard it will ask for a code, I think it will be some numbers. Press these on the bluetooth keyboard and press the enter key, and it should say connected on the phone. Unless your version does not support HID.

Not sure about the mouse. My guess is that it will connect using the code "0000".

I have a bluetooth keyboard right now, but I have ordered a foldable non silicon one, and a bluetooth mouse. Is going to be awesome I think.

Has anyone tried DealExtreme Mini Bluetooth keyboard to type Cyrillic letters in our device?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tiuk:
Happy to report I found a fix for the mouse pointer on cm7. I think when the person who posted it intended it for either the evo or gtablet, don't remember exactly because I read a lot of search results that dealt with this. I'm linking to a cwm flashable zip. Note that when I tested this I did not flash it, I placed the .jar file it contains in my /system/framework dir and rebooted, but I see no reason why flashing should be a problem since the .jar is the only change it contains. also note that flashing a new nightly will most likely remove the .jar and you will have to replace it. I tested this on my i896 captivate and it works perfectly.

[edit]Guess I was wrong, it was for the vega. As I said, worked great for me. VEGA-Cursorfix-newbe5.zip
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] felleese:
I think so too, as my phone started showing a cursor when I connected my keyboard once I went to 2.3.3

It's quite annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tiuk:
The mini keyboard uses a bluetooth module that has both keyboard and mouse capability, the manufacturer just didn't implement the mouse. That's why a pointer shows up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] felleese:
Ok.

Is there anyway to make the pointer transparent?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tiuk:
To get it to work I had to add a .jar to /system/framework. My guess would be if you can find the right one in there and remove it it won't display. What it's named may vary, but running logcat while connecting your keyboard may help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] yettyxx:
wow i gotta get one of those

:p
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tiuk:
I'm very happy with it. Keys are backlit, "clicky", trackpad works great (seems fine in cm7 without the fix I posted now), and the trackpad even has two finger scrolling.

Little howto

Hi,

I wrote a little howto with focus on the iGo Think Outside Bluetooth keyboard (Stowaway). It's actually more or less an aggregation of this thread here.

PS: maybe a mod can convert the URL into a proper link, because I'm not allowed to post links here yet, and remove this post scriptum comment here. Thanks

Here's your link, reading now.

Hi, there's a list of compatible bluetooth mouse for android 2.2?Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] squealernet:
shouldn't do any bluetooth mouse by design through the bt standard? i have bought the cheapest bt-mouse that was available for my netbook and it also worked with the android phone without any additional tools. just paired and a cursor was available.

Any bluetooth mouse will work, if your rom supports bluetooth hid. If it pairs and seems to work but there is no mouse pointer displayed, flash the file I provided in a previous post on this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Medulla_Oblongata:
Wait, does this mean the Galaxy S2 does not support HID by default?

edit: I'm searching for a keyboard + trackpad combination. Something similar to what you see in this picture, but a bluetooth.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tiuk:
I never said that the sgs2 doesn't support bluetooth hid. Considering the stock sgs does, I've no reason to believe it wouldn't.

I bought one of these, very happy with it: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/handhe...ss-keyboard-with-trackpad-and-red-laser-80137
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Medulla_Oblongata:
Oh ok, that is good to know because I was worried it wasn't supported by default (knowing people use custom ROMs). I really want to use a keyboard + MHL :D

I saw that keyboard you posted and almost bought it myself. But the keyboard looks small. Looking for one myself that is big enough to use for an Android tablet or my PS3.

Perhaps I shouldn't whine and just buy the darned thing :P

(i know it's almost the same like this one which works, but anyways.. wanna be 100% sure before order)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tiuk:
Yes, it would work. The very first review shown even states it works on a gingerbread galaxy s.

That said, I own one, as well as a rii mini (also ordered from deal extreme). The rii costs twice as much, but the keys are clicky rather than mushy (the $20 keyboard results in frequently repeated accidental key presses), is backlit, has a trackpad, and a far better keyboard layout. I bought the trackpad-less one first, and if I'd known then what I do now would have never bothered with it, the rii mini is well worth the extra cost. I haven't touched the first one since the rii arrived.

Only thing to look out for; there is an rf and a bluetooth version of the rii. Bluetooth will work with your phone, rf will not. The bluetooth version is listed a couple times on dx with different prices, I bought the cheapest one ($42 at the time) and can tell you the only difference between it and the more expensive one is the cables it comes with, device itself is identical.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] asheg:
still can't decide which one to order. so much keyboards

mini ones above are pretty cool but i wish there was touchpad included in keyboard and it worked)) is there anything like that? so, i need mini keyboard with touchpad :P

I have a samsung galaxy spica and would like to get a sliding keyboard for it. So I came up with the following idea:

I'm planning to buy a bluetooth slide out keyboard case for an iphone, and file some edges off so the top is flat, to then glue the keyboard case to my back cover.

I'd first need to know if the keyboard works with rooted android 2.2 software wise?

The specifications have no mention of HID or SPP compatibility.

For examples of the keyboard cases I mentioned, google for:

I know this thread is meant for the Samsung Galaxy S, but it's android 2.2 as well.

Hi, and thanks for the file!

Tried to flash the zip with CWM, but that didn't work, may be due to the different model of phone? (I have the GT-I9000 runningDarkyROM 10.2EEF.)

Then I went your way and used ES File Explorer and placed the .jar file in the /system/framework dir and rebooted, but the mouse pointer is still there! :mad:

Do I have to do something else? Tried the aLogCat and the only thing I could see of intrest (though this is way beyond my skills) was

"com.broadcom.bt.service.hid.action.STATE_CHANGED" when I activated the BT Keyboard!

Guess I'm not alone with the mouse pointer problem using BT Keyboard with the GT9000!

Thanks for any help!

Best regards!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tiuk:
Actually, I was having the opposite problem. My bt keyboard has a trackpad , but at the time of my post cm7 wouldn't display the pointer, so I was looking for a way to add it (it was later added anyway).

You have the opposite problem; you want to hide the pointer. All you should need to do is remove the appropriate .jar. The name may vary, but it seems to usually be com.nvidia.graphics.jar

You could always compare the contents of the one I posted to the one you intend to remove to verify that they are the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tiuk:
Actually, I did a bit if digging. The most simple fix would be replacing /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-nodpi/pointer.png with a transparent png. Simply deleting pointer.png or subbing in a 0 byte file might work too, but may cause errors, not sure.

i've found some cheap bt keyboards on ebay and would like to ask you if these work on our device:

so do these keyboards work on galaxy s? they are noname mini bt keyboards
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] tiuk:
Yes, they work. The keys are mushy and it's not the best. I'd recommend the rii mini instead, it's the one from deal extreme that I posted elsewhere on the thread. Keys are much better, it's backlit, has a dpad, and a trackpad.

For the record, I own both. here's the other one:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] picard666:
well the price difference is a bit much for me, the noname keyboard costs about 8 bucks on ebay while rii mini costs 40 bucks on dealextreme

Is there a way to get into USB drive mode with a dead screen? Had a truck drive over my Vibrant, which completely pulverized the screen. The rest of the phone is still working fine, and I'd like to get my data off the internal drive. But since the screen doesn't work there's no way I can think of to activate USB drive mode. Any tricks to get this done?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eweo911:
I cannot remember which program it was, but there is one that you can use to control your phone. It gives the screen shot of your phone and lets you control the buttons and menu's with your mouse as though you were using your fingers on your phone. I believe you have to have USB debugging enabled though for it to work. You could use that to mount the phone to your pc. Or you could use ADB to get into it and copy everything off the internal sd.
