Since I can't reply to the development forum thread "

External Keyboard with AZERTY

"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=867923, I post my reply here :

I succeeded to compile a french keyboard layout by deploying some french kbd source mapping files found on the web at <android_2.2>/sdk/emulator/keymaps, adding the source files to the "Android.mk" and building the deployment files "fr.kcm.bin" & "fr.kl".

Find attached a zip file, you may unzip on "/tmp" on your gen8 device and execute "./setup.sh" to install the french layouts (Works on my MobilityLab USB external keyboard).

Of course, you need "root" access to mount a tmpfs filesystem and fix the content of the "/system/usr/keychars" and "/system/usr/keylayout".
[Gen8 General] jean.michel.78:
thank you very much i will try to put int in the init phase
[Gen8 General] jakkrith:
Thank you very much for sharing. This is a good news for French user.

I wish someone can compile a Thai language for external keyboard layout.

Could you please done it for my dream come true? :D
[Gen8 General] Bingoig11:
Yesterday I bought a USB keyboard and noticed the QWERTY layout, today, quick search and find this topic, what a pleasure to go on XDA each day! :D

Going to root my 101 (3 days old lol) and install this!

Thanks!
[Gen8 General] ExploreMN:
Does anyone besides me find it somewhat humorous that a French company doesn't support French? I know...I'm stupid. :p
[Gen8 General] Bingoig11:
Any advise to launch your script?

I tried to launch it through Console emulator, it seems to ran but it did not change anything.

Although my kb is a mobility lab :confused:

Edit: I verified, both files are correctly copied, but still in qwerty, maybe there is a change to perform to choose the layout?
[Gen8 General] Bingoig11:
After choosing French in the External KB menu and rebooted it works! :D

Thanks!
[Gen8 General] Manicova:
is that awsome solution have a chance to work on another tab manufactureur r definitly not?
[Gen8 General] Bingoig11:
Maybe, maybe not.

I think you should give it a try, if your device is an Android one, I don't see anything that could cause an issue...

As always, backup before, apply, reboot (I had to) and test :D
[Gen8 General] Manicova:
I'm just dumb! It say have to Change my software keybaord layout to fit with the bluetooth one but it work only with the keyboard of the tab (the Samsung keyboard). I use a Samsung galaxy tab with rom overcom

For who Wana try one other tab, enter the setup of your stock ROM keyboard and try to use different configuration.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
The slowness of WP continues to disappoint.

In windows mobile we had:

-file system access and USB mass storage (since 2000)

-VPN support (since 2002)

-SIP VOIP (since 2007)

-almost full support for Exchange.

-copy and paste

-multitasking

-directly installable apps

-business-class security features

In 2010 WP7 was released without these features. In 2011 we will have copy and paste and multitasking. This is a diabolically slow rate of progress. Instead, we have play features like twitter support, ability to wave the phone in front of a TV, great.

Businesses are Microsoft's most important and successful market. When will WP support features for businesses and serious users? 2012? 2013?

The slow rate of progress was cemented in Ballmer's speech today. No wonder Nokia's shares continued to fall. Microsoft could have timed basic feature-completeness to coincide with Nokia's entry. Instead, when their phones come out in late 2011, WP7 will still be a toy OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
Windows mobile was dying. By focusing on consumers Apple was steadily encroaching into the business users. MS had no option but to ditch Windows mobile and go for the consumer market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] textron:
Honestly, I think windows mobile just need to be refined. It was lacking stability and user interface and hardware quality. The lack of that is the freezes, slow down both short term and long term and ease of use. The combination of improved hardware and improved UI and consistent use would have gone a long way towards core users since most people assume WP7 is WM7 anyways.

The only guess I can take is that they either couldn't recover from the state the code was in or more likely just went the Iphone route. From what I read WM7 was scrapped and Zune developers took over.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
why not ask on social.microsoft.com... that is more direct line than here...

i would imagine that they are going to introduce more than just what they've listed. when you are going to give a general roadmap, you would give the big highlights, not everything.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
Windows Mobile is most functional moile OS of all time, even Android cannot beat WM on functionality. However, the sales proved that WM is not welcomed by majority of the market. This is reasonnable.

You are using a cell phone. How many calls do you make everyday? Then how many C&Ps?

Just refining WM might not be good enough to save MS on phones.

“True multitasking” drains battery. And whatever perfection the system itself can reach, its stablity cannot survive badly written apps and unlimited modification.

Also there was a problem for WM app ecosystem. Kind like what we are seeing on Android now, maybe worse...

At least there is Office on WP... Also remote lock?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The OP has a good point, and people are just ragging him without even thinking about it.

The rate of progress is slow. Look at the interview with the product manager. Guy should be fired, since he obviously failed in some aspect of his job in handling WP7 development and updates.

They are developing a phone for consumers, and decided to not release a 1st party WLM client, for example.

2 Months later, after they launch WP7, Microsoft releases a 1st party WLM client for iOS, then they releases OneNote for iOS.

Not only is it a slow rate of progress, but they are constantly *****-slapping their own customers. Why get a WP7 device over an Apple iPhone or an Android Phone + iTouch with Wireless Tethering, if Microsoft will give more attention to iOS than WP7. iOS has gotten more "updates" from the Windows Live team than WP7 since WP7 was launched. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Zune app for Mac and a Zune Pass Quasi-App for iOS in a few months, along with XBox Live goodies... At the moment it doesn't seem like they have a clue what direction they want to move in, or what market they want to target to be honest...

It seems disingenuous to sell WP7 to customers and then tell them to wait a year+ for a decent update while you're banging out iOS apps for iPhone/iTouch users...

Probably would have been better for them to just release a better Zune HD and put all of their mobile support behind iOS, IMO. Could have saved their users money, time, and frustration, and allowed them to get work down faster and better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
well copy/paste, multitasking are both coming...C/P in early march and multi-tasking sometime this year...so it's a start. Plus better skydrive integration for all office docs...
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
The above will never happen on WP7, real business users don't need file system access or USB mass storage support since they use the cloud - either in a hosted capacity or their own private setup. Either way, they always have access to their documents.

Directly installable apps is not something they need either as they will roll out a set package of apps - just look at corporate laptops today, everything comes preinstalled from the IT dept. Now, sure, if you are talking about business apps for "personal" phones for their employees the IT dept rollout will not work, but MS has said they are working on private marketplace support here - sort of like how you get the Samsung or T-Mobile marketplace categories today.

These are coming thruout the year, but TBH multitasking isn't something used by most WinMo enterprise users. Sure, some do use it for GPS tracking in the background but the vast majority of said users have these devices as a one-trick pony. Take UPS for example, they use them to scan packages, collect signatures and track drivers - that's it. None of which are performed simultaneously.

I do agree with most of these though. Not sure what you mean by business-class security features, but other than that they do need to roll out VPN and enhanced Exchange support. VoIP I'm not so sure about, most business users (even fairly small ones) I've been in contact with already have great plans with their telcos and will route calls thru their local/private exchange.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Why do people keep repeating this 10x in every thread, as if we do NOT know what's coming?

We know it's coming. Why is something like that coming, instead of having been launched to begin with. From what I've seen WP7 was in development for like 2 years, considering they did use CE as a base, it seems a bit retarded that stuff like this had to be added in and they are delivering better apps for iOS than WP7 while WP7 customers stand there with blank faces wondering why they have to wait a year to get iOS features when iOS is getting features they want in weeks/months.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
Cloud arguments don't get rid of arguments for common file stores. There are files on the cloud and on local storage. Either way, the same file should be accessible by more than one program. That means that the file is "common", not "isolated".

Isolated storage is a terrible restriction, whether it is local or in the cloud. So terrible that Microsoft had to make limited exemptions for particular sorts of content with special apis to be accessed by more than one program (e.g. photos).

Look you can have office workers who just edit spreadsheets and word documents, maybe this is fine for them. But for serious users of technology this is unacceptable. Just think of the history. You had slide rules and other specific calculating devices devices. Then Charles Babbage develops a mechanical computer which is actually Turing complete, then Turing proves that there is this type of computer that can do anything that is computable, then people built these things, and now we are back with - as long as a device can do x,y,z popular tasks we are OK. End rant.

OK let me continue the rant a little. Alan Turing did not envisage a system where for an algorithm to succeed it has to first pass the approval of human censors. It takes the undecidability problem a little too far, don't you think?

Anyway, any improvement is good but what is the timeframe? At some point this will happen, unless the public overtures to homebrew hackers were a mistake.

You can work your way around it but nothing is better than a native solution.

Anyway, yes this stuff is important to businesses, some more than others, but the rest are important to power users, anyone who wants to use the device as more than a feature phone, who is not Mr. Average and at some point may want to do something that Mr. Average does not do. Mr. Average may have money on average, and power in democracies, but people who are not Mr. Average are also important, in fact far more so for the world.
[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
I agree with all your points.

It's fine not to have the features at launch but they must add them quickly. The argument that some like to use that WP7 is new & to just be patient is wearing thin. WP7 is competing with the IPhone & Android of today not of yesterday, so why should customers bother waiting too long for features already available on competing products? The UI is great but not spectacularly better IMO.

I want WP7 to succeed but the clock is ticking & MS only has a limited amount of time to make it a hit.
[Windows Phone 7 General] leowp7:
and why do you have to keep repeating post after post that wp7 should have included c/p , this and that blah blah blah? I know why you want c/p so that you dont have to right the same thing over and over again lols.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
An you still have nothing of value to add to the discussion. Life must hate you.

Here's a razor. You know what to do with it :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Agreed - but that's a whole different can of worms. What I was commenting on was getting content onto your phone in the first place. I fully agree there should be a shared store accessible by any installed application.

Again, I agree. But in my experience businesses (at least here) have free connectivity between their mobile devices and their offices. More and more these days there are no landlines available at all, everyone uses mobile which is routed thru a local (ie. corporate) switch.

This is where we don't agree :)

Power-users - or early-adopters; they are generally the same people - are not generating [direct] revenue and as such their usage patterns are not of great importance initially. What they do do is drive demand for these features down to an average level, so at some point it will become mainstream, but not today.
[Windows Phone 7 General] leowp7:
thats so uncalled for.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I deal with "uncalled for" things thrown at me on this forum all the time. I'm not crying about it. I'd edit it out, but since you quoted it instead of PMing me it's not worth it.

Report it to a moderator. I'll eat my infraction if they feel they need to issue one. /shruggery/
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I have not read the following posts so forgive me if this point has been made but this sort of thread gripes me so so bad.

WINDOWS PHONE IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT! WINDOWS MOBILE

It is aimed at general consumers more than business much like the iphone. Windows Mobile will have a new version out some point this year as it is not windows phone and is still being developed.

Please for gods sake keep this whole delusion that WP7 is anything to do with WM6.5 out of your heads.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rhory:
It's no delusion that 6.5 is far superior to WP7, as of now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
what functionality are you refering to that every other phone OS hasn't had for 2plus years ?

I make/receive on average 1 phone call a day, while I copy/paste at least 20 times a day.

2. I feel anyone should be allowed to say what they think, so are you, but why the need for the bully factor?

You should just go into emergency mode and reinstall an official firmware. I think it will get rid of the custom recovery as well but not sure.

it is true that the only program to navigation for WP7 is Navigon?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] ceo4eva:
No, not exactly. Navigon only works for like 4 countries and if you look through this forum i think there are a few navigation apps out there.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] TheOnly1:
Navigon works with every european country as long as you have the corresponding iPhone Navigon maps and with the rest of the world if you bother to read a bit and change a few settings manually :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] malkrae:
Thats true I am using it myself and you can get almost any country, however it is a free t-mobile app and it is limited to a basic format but its is functional and works well.:)

So what are these other programs?

I saw the map of Poland at Navigon and they are miserable and are not valid for several years
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] wholly1:
not true.

i have a Navigon select now and applied some maps from iphone (originally only four country available).

so i got all EUROPE where uk, france, belgium, netherland,germany and POLAND!!!

i tested myself and i'm glad to say that that all is up to date. sometimes better than tomtom maps in poland.

navi software is way whorse than tomtom but maps are great.
