if you uncheck the default input, the system uses the qwerty.kcm.bin file in /system/usr/keychars folder.

to get that replaced by the english layout you have to copy the qwerty-en.kcm.bin file from the /system/usr/keychars/mimmi/keyprints folder up into the /system/usr/keychars folder and save it as the qwerty.kcm.bin file.

i have read this somewhere on the x10 forum. i can't find the topic at the moment.

as i mentioned in another thread, the paths are from android 1.6. they might be different on 2.1.

You didn´t understand. This is easy, and everyobody does it. The problems start when you untick the default entry method in keyboard properties. Read carefully first post.

any updates?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
I downgraded to 1.6 German and will wait for official release. Having a Swedish layout on a German keyboard using English for typing is too much for my poor brains. Meanwhile since you ar on 2.1 can you check the idea below?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] magizhang:
it works

replace /system/usr/keychars/mimmi_keypad.kcm.bin and chmod to rw-r--r--

ps. the attached file is of en layout
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
I strongly suspect that this file will be the same in 1.6 . So what I will try to do - save this file from a german version of 1.6, flash nordic, and install the file from german version.

PS - tested it works.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
great!works!:p

thanks everyone!:D

@magizhang...where'd you get the en layout?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
He could get it only from UK generic 1.6, as I got my german layout from DE generic 1.6

Did you test it as well on 2.1?

Does anyone wanna post a step-by-step guide for getting this to work? I'm a total noob with this stuff
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
what exactly do you wanna know?:)

how to fix the issue w the wrong hard keyboard layout?

how to remap keys?

how to update to 2.1 (we used the nordic/finnish firmware, hence the keyboard mess) then restore your own keyboard layout?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bazalicious:
I've updated to 2.1 using Bin4ry's flashtool, but the keyboard layout is wrong. So I just needa know how to fix the keyboard layout issue using magizhang's solution. Thanks :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
(thanks to thekindladies and magizhang for the solution)

1. are you rooted?

if not go here...

2. get root explorer.apk for your phone

3. then save the file from here...

4. unzip then save the file to your sd card

5. using root explorer, navigate to this folder on your phone

/system/usr/keychars/

and delete mimmi_keypad.kcm.bin

(or if you want a backup...)

if you cant, press the button on top of root explorer that says Mount R/W

6. replace w the file you saved to your sd card

7. after pasting, long press the file and edit permissions to look like so...

8. reboot

cheers!:p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aZ00:
Yes, all the above plus :

What is your original keybaord layout ?

:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] crickyo:
can anyone help me i was being heavy handed and deleted my keyboard-config file can anyone upload a copy of it for me id be very happy thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
magizhang's file works. If you want the generic keyboard layout, if you are using the Generic World layout (mine is. After the 2.1 update the "." key was replaced by å or something.) try this (credits to skyleth):

to change the keyboard layout just edit the file "keyprint.xml" in system/usr/keyboard-config.

for spanish keyboard you have to change:

<script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-en" /> to <script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-br" />

(br is the change)

for the others i think there is a file where you can see, but i can't remember which one.

thanks to michalko58 who wrote this in the "remapping ..." thread.

use:

<script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-en" /> for the default qwerty for Generic World since the old file haz <script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-se-fin" /> or something (sorry, can't remember!)

hi all,

hoping i'm not asking something that has already been answered (i didn't see if it's the case, have been following the keyboard layout topics) :

does anyone know how to get my physical azerty keyboard to function properly ?

i currently have the english nordic one, but haven't found the proper settings to get the azerty hardware keyboard yet...

any help appreciated, thanks in advance :)

- keychars

Update: SEUSED the PRoblem. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Here you go dude, my whole usr folder. Feel free to use it and I hope there's no personal data here I was to lazy to check (I'm nobody anyway so it would be a waste of time to hack me). Be careful deleting anything next time ^_^
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] michalko58:
Here are the folders. :-)

In the folder zaloha in keyboard-config is original cirillic.xml file, because I´m trying (still with no luck) to make for me phonetic russian keyboard. You can safely delete it or move it into keylayouts and replace the cyrillic file there.

The keyprint file is set to QWERTZ, so if you would like to have QWERTY juste change the value qwertz to qwerty-en in that file ;-)

Ups, I was little bit slower :-P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaXmYsT:
np, thx :)

by the way its very easy to change the keyboard

you need:

- root rights

- root explorer

now open root explorer and go to:

/system/usr/keyboard-config/

now look for the keyprint.xml

and open it with the integrated text editor

find out, what is the right name for keylayout in your contry

fox example look for x10mini pro+french keylayout.

If u need a german keylayout for example just change:

<keyprint>

<script name="cyrillic" keylayout="cyrillic" />

<script name="greek" keylayout="greek" />

<script name="latin" keylayout="qwertz" />

</keyprint>

thats it :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bazalicious:
Thanks man, it didn't change it to the layout I wanted but I used the solution pabling19 posted which worked fine. Thanks everyone :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaRkToU:
could anyone please upload these files for the spanish version?

thanks in advance ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Rich_RH:
Blah... after editing the files my phone goes in to a boot loop tried it twice no luck!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaXmYsT:
You only need to edit the one line:

<script name="latin" keylayout="qwertz" />

should work without a problem. Otherwise ask someone for the language file you need. :)

Ok, I thinks lets try to collect some different language settings for all users here:

German+other languages?:

<script name="latin" keylayout="qwertz" />

English+other languages?:

<script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-en" />

Nordic+other languages?:

<script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-se-fs" />

Portuguese+other languages?:

<script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-br" />

Chinese+other languages?:

<script name="latin" keylayout="latin-on-bopomofo" />

to be continued (if I find more)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
No. This works ONLY if you ticked the "default entry method". If not, your keyboard will still be nordic, despite changes you made. You have to find mimmy keyboard files (better take them from your 1.6) and replace nordic with your original files, as described here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8964048&postcount=12
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DaXmYsT:
mh.. ok, good to know.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] l00k:
You know when your using the physical keyboard. As soon as you start typing the language bar pops up at the bottom.

If you have Default input settings unticked this doesnt happen.

Has anyone noticed that the Default input settings wont stay unticked?

Every time I take the tick off. It comes back.

Annoying
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] l00k:
Think I might have sussed this.

I've got a Task Killer running which I believe was killing default input. So when it reloaded it had forgotten the tick or something like that.

I've added it to my ignore list now so lets see.....

EDIT:: nope thats not it. Just ticked itself again grrrr!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rosshalz:
ok guys i have a problem now...

I've rooted using the SuperOneClick method, granted root explorer superuser permissions, mounted as r/w.

At first I tried replacing the mimmi.keypad.kcm.bin file which..well it asks me "do u wanna replace the file etc etc.." I said yes... but oddly no change.

Then I tried removing the existing mimmi.keypad.kcm.bin file and copying the right one(downloaded from an earlier post in this thread) but when i click paste in the system/usr/keychars folder, nothing happens!!! as a result i'm stuck with no mimmi.keypad.kcm.bin file at all and my back key and menu key no longer respond normally....

I suspect it's a problem with root explorer in my phone.... can someone tell me if i can use astro instead?? and how to give superuser permissions to astro???

Any other suggestions, help is most welcome!!

Edit: twas a problem with root explorer... cured the keyboard layout..

Is there a way you can save apps on the sd card instead of the phones memory? Would doing this maintain faster speed fpr the g2?

Do people realize that their phone has a search button? Just so happends it goes right to some website called google. That must be a pretty informative website.

[G2 and Desire Z General] -FuRBz-:
why cant we store all apps on the sd card?
[G2 and Desire Z General] jakijal:
the app developers just choose not 2 allow people to save to the sdcard.

one of the reasons is that it can be saved and copied and therefore distributed easily.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Greekbadger3:

[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
Not trying to be a douche here but you must have just switched from WM to Android or something. You've got tons of posts but you've never heard of something called a2sd or apps2ext? Google 'darktremor' and you'll find your answer. BTW, there is actually a thread in the development section for this phone that, if you looked, you would have seen and had the exact answer you're looking for.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hipertec:
I did just switch over from WM phone but I also knew that certain apps can be saved into the SD card. My particular question was to get the apps that does not give you the option of going to the SD card.

Truly the comment of google search was not called for since if the poster goes to:

Menu-settings-applications-manage applications-choose app-store to sd card (or store to phone)

: some apps do not give you the option to save into SD card.
[Fascinate Android Development] runeliger:
So I have had this issue with my phone today where I couldn't seem to get passed the Too many pattern attempts screen.

After trying all my combinations of e-mail and passwords, I was unable to access my phone. As a result, I attempted to do a hard reset (the pressing of both volume rockers and then trying to reset it in that recovery mode).

I did so, wiping all my data, but the too many pattern attempts screen remained. So as a result, I booted up Odin and downloaded the stock versions of the Samsung Fascinate's ROM and proceeded to reflash (or what I believe to be reflashing, I simply followed the directions found in the stickies).

That all said and done, my phone still remains in the too many pattern attempts lock.

I've checked the similar posts on a couple of websites, but was unable to find a situation where all of these fixes did not work.

Thank you!
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
No replies yet, so I am just going to throw this out there on the off chance that it *might* actually work.

The "complete voodoo lagfix removal" uninstall.zip CWM flash seems to be working as a cure-all for just about whatever may ail your phone, whether you actually *have* voodoo or not...

I would check that out in the OP of this thread.

Download the Voodoo Uninstall on your PC. Copy it to your SDcard (if you don't have a computer that you can put the card in after pulling it out of your phone, try using adb to push it to the phone)

Boot into stock recovery, and flash "update.zip" to get into CWM recovery.

Flash that voodoo uninstall zip using CWM.

I really hope this helps. (Just in case it happens to me. :p)

Let us know!
[Fascinate Android Development] else_where:
I work for flextronics. we see this all the time. it's a known issue that the lock screen doesn't reset with a factory wipe. just call the phone, answer and press the home screen button. it's what we do in store
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
This is more than likely living in /dbdata . You can wipe that by doing a privacy wipe in settings (requires access to the phone), or flash CWM via odin, and then when in recovery, rm -r /dbdata/ and reboot.

If the phone-call / home button thing else_where posted works, obviously go that route, then do a privacy wipe.
[Fascinate Android Development] martian21:
you will more than likely need to mount the /dbdata partition r/w before you can delete the data. This is covered in the Voodoo removal thread (which I had the joy of doing).

[Fascinate Android Development] runeliger:
Hey guys thanks for all the help,

The calling of the phone didn't work. Tried it, but it kept giving me corrupt errors so I wasn't able to access the home screen.

The voodoo removal sort of worked in that while I was doing it, I also went ahead and did a privacy wipe. Everything would be fine and dandy however, my phone no longer connects to any network. It seems to be in a perpetual state of being unable to find a network. It's not airplane mode, but my phone does think it's January first 2005 again.

Did I miss a step?
[Fascinate Android Development] mexiken:
You did the privacy wipe from within the settings menu ???? That fixed a similar issue where I couldn't connect to the network
[Fascinate Android Development] runeliger:
Yes indeed I did. The first thing I did was the Factory data reset.

Unfortunately, the phone seems to be in a state of perpetual ariplane mode preventing access to any network.

The phone also seems to be suffering from that com.android.phone crashes that I suppose make sense given how the Hardware version and the Baseband version are both unknown.

I'm going to try to flash it again in hopes of resetting my phone. The perpetual airplane mode is of course an issue. (but at least I got the alarm functinoality of my phone back)
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Hrm, I'm concerned now. Check your settings / about phone and baseband version. Please tell me it does not say 'unknown'.
[Fascinate Android Development] mexiken:
Yea, mine wasn't stuck in airplane mode, just didn't connect to google's servers to set up gmail.

If you're still rooted, maybe try the radio update ????
[Fascinate Android Development] mexiken:
Any update ????
[Fascinate Android Development] martian21:
DANGER! - Don't go updating your radio unless you really know what you're doing. Yes there has been a radio update with the D01 however flashing the wrong thing to the radio will result in a shiny brick that as of right now can't be recovered!
[Fascinate Android Development] runeliger:
Yeah I was seeing a bunch of unknowns in a lot of my slots.

I wasn't sure what was wrong, so I did some more research and it seemed as though that the modem aspect of my phone must have corrupted.

So I simply went to a verizon store and swapped out my phones (since I couldn't find a fixed modem).

The other fix of deleting via the privacy wipe definitely worked though.

Thanks everyone!
[Fascinate Android Development] anngiehdz:
i500 fascinate too many patterns

what I did I turn the phone off

then turn it on ones the one verizon animation goes of it asks for the email and pass so start hitting home button as fast as you can and sometimes emergency button till it takes you to the main many do not stop till al the icons load up

then you got it but you have to go in to the menu and wipe it off or erease the email account

it worked for me after few tries it shoulg work for you too

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefek:
Hey all, just asking about a problem that I have with the music player. I have an ipod, so I have to use itunes and have been ripping my CDs in apple lossless format. For some reason, despite the HD2 supposedly supporting the m4a format, the player just skips the song every time. Anyone know how to solve this (if possible)?

Sorry if someone posted this already. I don't think there is DRM if I rip it with my own computer.... right?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meptik:
No, no DRM. (Note: even the stuff you buy through iTunes has been free of DRM for years.)

The problem here is that the HD2, like most non-iPod music playing devices does not come with out-of-the-box support for Apple Lossless.

Container != codec. The HD2 can handle the m4a container format just fine, but that doesn't mean it knows what to do with the Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) stream inside.

Possible solutions:

1) convert files

2) find something that plays ALAC on Windows Mobile

If you happen to be using Mac OS X, the first option's easy using the awesome XLD. Not sure about easy Windows solution, but you can probably use iTunes to convert ALAC to WAV at least.

Second option, I have no idea.
