Read here, comments #29 and #30 for the problem on the "shift" symbols:

Also your Vario II has german keyboard layout (QWERTZ instead of QWERTY), so you need to change this through registry:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
The suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 (132103 in decimal).
ok bare with me
i Goto the following registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
right i did that
There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 i entered that then waited about a minute then did a soft reset. but i still get the same problem, and for the shift key problem do i a hard reset and right as it getting ready to install the cingular cab i softreset it,
mot letting shortString_keypad_XML.CAB install, but what about the otherthings what will i be missing and where do i find them
Read a bit down in the reigstry wiki page....
oops putting in the wrong key thanks
Anyone know the values for the Cingular 8525? The US value on the MS site isn't working, and neither is the default values given on the wiki
Hi,
I upgrade to the latest HTC-WWE-Firmware downloadable on xda-developers. Before I had a german Keyboard (y and z are changed for example).
I applied the last registry hack on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry to switch back to the german keyboard.
I put in these values:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload]
"Default"="e0010407"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
"Default"="e0010407"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
"Layout"="132103" (which means 20407 in Hex)
now the strange part:
With the english keyboard I can get the U-Umlaut for example by pressing u and then the blue dot and the space key. Unfortunately many other keys are changed then (y and z for example).
After applying the registry-hack above I have a german keyboard with z and y at "correct" positions but u + blue dot + Space key does not work anymore for getting Umlauts.
Can anybody help me? This is very nasty.
This is done by modification to \Windows\Sym.txt, get it from previous ROM.
The file I attached is from o2 germany's 1.25.207.1 ROM
still no Umlauts
Hi,
thanks for your quick help.
Unfortunately that seems to be not the problem. I have a correct sym.txt under \windows\sym.txt
If I press u-key + blue dot + space key there appears nothing. Normally there should be at least an á or à if I had the normal english sym.txt but it appears nothing after I changed the registry-keys above. Without the registry-keys changed I get umlauts and all those other special characters with the combination blue dot + space key but then the z and y and many other keys like : / & and so on are in a "wrong" position (from the view of a german ).
Any other ideas?
Perform a Softreset after replacing the sym.txt and the Welt ist wieder in Ordnung.
Still not working...
I replaced the sym.txt did a soft reset and it's still not working. Could it be that it's a issue with the new firmware?
It behaves like Windows Mobile is looking for a different sym.txt when the registry-settings are set to the german layout.
All other keys are working perfectly. It's just the blue dot + spacebar which does not work.
I just flashed the newest htc rom and came across the same problem. is there any new solution to this? the sym.txt I have right now is the correct one.
I upgraded to latest 1.35 and also got a keyboard issue (like "Y" and "Z" are reversed), this even after applying all the registry changes advised in the WIKI.
WIKI does not mention anything about this "sym.txt", thus I did not bother to extract it from my old rom.
Now where will I find the correct "sym.txt" for a "French Switzterland" keyboard?

I also had this problem. The thing is: ONLY change the Qwerty-key ... leave the other two alone (that is: e0010409 for WWE ROMs) ... then everything will work again. You might want localized versions for: autocorrect.txt, dictprob.dat, mssp2_XX.lex, statdict.dat and sym.txt. Extract them from a ROM for your region...

Umlauts are available now!
Thanks a lot! What a simple solution That was definitely something which I should have found out by myself.
Anyway, thank you. The Umlauts are back now.
yeah, awesome. thanks for the help mbirth!
hm, I was just looking for autocorrect.txt, dictprob.dat, mssp2_XX.lex and statdict.dat but couldnt find them anywhere in the windows dir. can someone tell me where they are located?

For me the files are now at those paths:
C:\Windows\autocorrect.txt
C:\Windows\dictprob.dat
C:\Windows\mssp2_ge.lex
C:\Windows\statdict.dat
Also the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Spell Check\Main_Dict has to contain the path to the mssp2_ge.lex ... so:
Main_Dict = "\windows\mssp2_ge.lex"
I found a German Language pack from Wundi somewhere here ... it contains the files and sets this and the Qwerty-registry-entry.
Maybe you hide the ROM files? I also have the original mssp2_en.lex And I'm almost sure, if I delete the newer dictprob, statdict and autocorrect, I will see the original versions again....
Cheers,

P.S.: I prefer Total Commander for file management. It has an option "Hide ROM files" ... this has to be turned off to be able to see files in ROM.

mbirth, I followed your advice and reversed the changes made in the two other reg, and only changed the Qwerty' key to French-Switzerland, but without success so far. I know there must be a solution and I look forward to finding it...
Hi !
I would like to remap keyboards to French. I tried some reg hacks but they dosen't work.
Do you know good tricks !
Thx !
Did you change HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty\Layout ?
This changes the layout for the sliding keyboard. I changed mine from Swedish (value 0x20414) to US English (value 0x20409). French should be 0x2040c according to the Hermes Registry Wiki.
Registry
Argh ! What are the reg files you have modified/created ? I changed all to 040C (French) but the keymap is still in english.
Thx !
I tried this too, but upon soft resetting, the value has switched back to the swedish setting

Just wait for a couple of minutes after the Registry modification before resetting the device. As WM needs to flush the memory.... then it will work, I've just done it on my Hermes.

Hi,
I upgraded my x7500 to AP 4.0 yesterday.
I have an azerty keyboard but since I upgraded to AP 4.0 I only can get QWERTY layout on the physical keyboard (ie : when I type on "a" I get a "q").
How can I change that?
I searched on many posts, I couldn't find the registry tweak...
Thanks a lot and congrats to the AP Team

I believe that you have to changed the kbdhid.dll file but not sure as i have never tried
doo you know where this file is?
you just need to create this key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 2040c
should the type be "string" ?
'cause it doesn't seem to work. I'm still in QWERTY mode...
no one's got an idea?
If it's 2040c, that's usually a dword....
it dosn't work with dword. only string.
in any case it has no effect on my kbd layout.
it's a real pain in...
did I miss something?
Ok, if anyone has the same problem :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 2040c
This works BUT it has to be done from a reg edit on the ppc, not on the computer.
I really don't understand why but when I tried to do it from a computer, it told me it was an incorrect value for a DWORD...
From the ppc it was ok
Please help me!!!
I bought a brand new HTC Touch2 in December 2009 from a local shop in Greece. Originally, it had the Greek ROM preinstalled (the menus, commands e.t.c. were Greek and it had a special Greek/English Keyboard with a special Language Switching button above the Shift button).
However there were some problems. The Greek translation was awful and the phone often crashed. So, I decided to flash the English ROM. I flashed the HSPL - which I found in this forum - and then installed the original WWE ROM from HTC Pedia. Unfortunately, this ROM doesn't include a Greek Keyboard...
I tried everything (Fixes, Registry Hacks, EzInput Packages, Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 and also tried to understand and edit the Registry keys: ezinput, ezsip, tegic). I realized that all the files needed for the Greek Keyboard existed in the Windows folder of the WWE ROM. So, what I need is the correct Configuration.
I am desperate... I don't know what to do. Can you help me please? Can you create a cab with the correct Configuration (either extracted from the Registry of a Greek ROM or cooked, maybe). Or, if that can't be done, can you upload a Greek ROM? I only need the Greek/English Keyboard (EzInput Configuration)...
Please, it is very important!
Thanks in Advance...
try ths keyboard is better:

I had a very similar issue as you, using a WWE ASIA ROMand wanting a special Chinese input. Same situation: All files seem to be there, but no idea how to get the keyboard. What I did was install the Chinese ROM (would be the Greek one for you), hard reset, select the wanted keyboard, and dump the registry to a text file.
Next I installed the "target" ROM (WWE ASIA for me, WWE from HTCPedia for you), hard reset, and dump the registry again.
Then compare both registry text files. I searched for everything that looked like ezInput related, and finally figured out that for me I needed to change the following:
Code:
1) Delete these 3 keys:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F50603D1-CF2F-41D8-A74B-651226633FF0}
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5AAFAF99-8D99-4466-A66D-95C44B608A84}
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{9E06C6B8-FE4D-4206-9A5B-6E4C1B8B6AD7}
2) in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip] change the following values:
"CurrentSIP"=dword:00000da4
"HWChineseMode"=dword:00000001
3) in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Keytouch\Multiplay] change the following values:
"nSelectedIme"=dword:00000003
"DefaultIME"="ZY"
Maybe you can do something similar. Good luck!
