cinlular keyboard customization

[saawan]

after the upgrade it seems that the keys are not in correct place on the keyboard. pl., let me know if there is cab for cingular/ATT customers.

If you search, you will find... there are cab's for 8525 keybaord layout all over the place.. search for WMXL 8525 Keyboard Settings

If you've searched and haven't been successful, I say always look in the WIKI first. You can go HERE (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The_cabs_archive) for what you need....

Hope this helps,

Here's how I find things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893

You could type in something like; Cingular Keyboard fix
You could also type in; Cingular symbols mixed up

I know you already got your answer,
but, give it a try anyway, it works great!

For example; I wanted to find info on creating my own Custom ExtRom.
So I typed in extrom, and I found exactly what I was looking for.
And I didn't have to start another thread on a question that has been asked before. :D

Berdinkerdickle;

Thanks for giving this guy a more practical answer. I know that I made things maybe a bit too easy by giving him the place to go, but I just was getting tired of some of the flames, etc being dished out. I agree that many new members don't search enough but also have found that searching is difficult.

I was seeking a solution that would encourage searching but not blow off the need for an answer, however you did a much better job.

Kudos!

I too was having this problem and just now did a search for the answer.. I did find it here although I ran across this flame thread before I came straight to the answer.. thats bad.

[stevebonning]

Sorry, but I don't see any 'flames' here. The first response was not real helpful, just the usual 'search' although the suggestion for the specific search was given. The second response was to give him the place to go IF his search attempts were unsuccessful. The third response was a more elegant explanation for search(es) with a practical application, and the fourth was a thanks for the third response which was better than the second! I don't see where any flames were thrown nor intended. There are too many out there already to try to find some that don't really exist!!

Its in the wiki

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ermes_Registry

When applying a non-cingular ROM to an 8525 its default keyboard is different than the 8525.

The Fix:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=263177 (decimal)

I thought this site was a forum. If people dont know where to find info they should not have to get the third degree on searching. My wife does that to me. If she has the answer she does not give it to me. I have to find it on my own.It took me an hour to find this. I hope this helps other people with their phones.

Yes, this is a Forum; below is the definition of a forum from the American Heritage Dictionary.

fo·rum (fôrm, fr-)
n. pl. fo·rums also fo·ra (fôr, fr)
1.
a. The public square or marketplace of an ancient Roman city that was the assembly place for judicial activity and public business.
b. A public meeting place for open discussion.
c. A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper or a radio or television program.
2. A public meeting or presentation involving a discussion usually among experts and often including audience participation.
3. A court of law; a tribunal.

Nowhere is it stated that a forum is where a few people work spend a great deal of time and effort to give many people the easy way to all the answers. In this forum, the answers can be found and new answers to NEW questions constantly being debated and decided. However, if you've been a reader of the threads you would have an understanding of how things get bogged down with new people not willing to spend a little time searching for the answers to their questions that have already been answered. There's the WIKI, The Wiktionery, Individual Threads, The FTP files, FAQ sections, etc. I prefer to avoid flaming new members but when I continue to see the amount of new members who just jump into a thread with a request for help without any 'audience participation', i.e. READING, SEARCHING, I can certainly understand why some members do such severe flaming and end up leaving the forum out of frustration.

BTW, in the WIKI is a Cingular Keyboard Fix cab that would address the issue mentioned without altering the registry. A quick search reveals it HERE (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes_Cabs)
