HD2 Keyboard National layout LT (Lithuanian). Cursor keys swaped,vibro reduced

linuxis · Feb 13, 2010

National Lithuanian for standart HD2 keyboard (Ezinput) Full QWERTY Layout.

Cursor keys swaped (up, right etc..)
Cursor keys moved to left side of the keyboard
Vibro reduced to 1
National keys added (long press).
TAB key instead of XT9
Click volume reduced

No more need for FingerKeyboard or other

if you do not demand much from the keyboard

Unistallable, so you can easily revert to original.
Haven't tested without policy disabled (unasigned apps). Perhaps you need to set this option with BsB Tweaks to install the cab.

v2.3 Landscape cursor keys on left side.
v3.1 Landscape cursor keys location something like on fingerkeyboard

Not that I would need it, cause I only use english keyboard for everything more or less, but good job anyway!

It's not a problem to make better english version!!! If someone needs it is possible Just ask.

What I did - everything exept "national keys" are useful for everyone- lowered vibro, lowered sound, space moved to right, cursor key placed in first row. It is more comfortable for me.
I do not understand what the guys who made keyb were thinking about - in original layout space not reachable with right thumb, vibro too strong sound to loud - in 10 mins that things become anoying

And whats funny if i rotate screen 270 degrees - keyboard rotates also - but the keys that pop on press a not rotated, I mean they stay as on 90 degrees rotation layout ha ha ha

Why I'm telling that- on HD2 default layout would be more comfortable using 270 but not 90 as is .... Strange why cursor keys are on right side because that position is more comfortable to be on left..on 90 Try...

Is there anybody who can help/give me information about that damn HTC keyboard. I have some ideas but still didn't find out how to do (eg. how to make space of bigger width - where is the png that is used for space button ?)
Thanks in advance.

linuxis,
it's nice to see your work.
I'd like to know how did you make it, because I'd like to make something similar but I'd like to experiment a little ... and probably make a full Bulgarian layout.
What's required to accomplish this?

linuxis · Mar 12, 2010

Updated to version 2.3 - cursor keys moved to left

pspbirte · Mar 12, 2010

I would be cool if you could make a keyboard with easy access to "æ, ø, å" for us danish users... I would seriously call you my god if you could pull that off

If you have a tool look inside the cab. Basically these files are modified.

0C09.xml
0D09.xml
1C00.xml
LQ_Bg.png
LQ_Bg_Inv.png
PQ_Bg.png
PQ_Bg_Inv.png
LQSym_Bg.png
LQSym_Bg_Inv.png

All layout is in xml files, they inside has links to the images.
By the images you can say what layout they represend.

LQ - Landscape
PQ - portrait
LQSym - numeric keyboard layout

xxx.xml xxx - code of the language you modify.

xml structure is very simple, just layout tag/ page tag (several pages eg in numeric layout)/ key tags with coordinates. You can find key by key ID, and change the key or the values on long key press.

I think that is enough to start.

I just need to know what symbols shoud be placed where

and what layout is the best for the danish symbols because I do not know danish . I mean - first row-long press (like lithuanian layout) or "æ" on "a" longpress ? And the symbols also needed.

Based on your information in this tread, I did make a Norwegian/Danish layout. Thank you very much to pull me in the rigth direction.

Has anyone made a Swedish keyboard?

endursa · Mar 16, 2010

i'd like a german layout with the € symbol at the e key, the arrows in landscape on the other side, disabled xt9 key and the rest standard

would it be possible?
or could you share the base files so i can mod them myself ?

endursa · Mar 16, 2010

nice

i managed to do the mods for myself, at least the mods with changing the keys!

but as i saw the layout editing isn't that hard either, just redo all coords and the png file

nice linuxis for your inspiration!

but i asked myself, if it is possible to do smiles on a long press function, as i understood the xml code, it's not that easy cause a normal <char> tag prints all the keys while a <LP_char> tag gives the option to choose ...

One more tip for modders - check this tool XmlGui: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551813

It also helps for changing keyboard layout

linuxis · Mar 16, 2010

One more tip:
index.xml in this file you can change vibro stregth and file to play (tick.wav)

Algelis · Mar 17, 2010

Ačiū, linuxis, labai laukiau.
Thanks for a long awaited LT keyboard

Tubgirl · Mar 17, 2010

Can somebody please upload 0C09.xml and 0D09.xml from a standard US keyboard, please? The files are located in the Windows directory.

Thanks... /TubGirl
