This one's gonna suck.. You can't. You will have to flash back your stock rom, because that containts the appropriate keyboard layout in /system/usr/.

Unless you are S-OFF and have my cwm port installed, in that case please try
update.zip

I have no idea, I don't own the phone. If it doesn't work, try renaming
Code:
/system/usr/keychars/
chacha-keypad-ger.kcm.bin -> chacha-keypad.kcm.bin
Code:
/system/usr/keychars/
chacha-keypad-ger.kl -> chacha-keypad.kl

now signed the update.zip, forgot to do that before :eek:
update.zip

That doesn't work for me, Z and Y are still switched.
And the button next to enter, (normaly "?" and with fn ":") doens't work at all.

How can i correct and reactivate them?


Edit:

I flashed back to stock ROM, but Z and Y are still switched, but all keys work again. the special-chars are still on the wrong place, and the umlauts(ä, ö, ü) are nowhere.

Does anyone have an idea, how i can get the standard-qwertz-layout back?

I tried to rename with Astro, but just got a Error Message "no authorization"

Any ideas?

Finally, it works!

I got the correct Files from another Forum, renamed the Files and it's working again.

Z and Y are still switched, but i can changed them in the files manually :)

PS: Don't forget to set the correct permissions and owner:group...

Need American HTC Status QWERTY layout, please

Hi! I have HTC Status (U.S. version) with stock ROM, with S-OFF and root. I have a similar problem with the keyboard after I rooted the phone (using instructions on this forum).

I have the following issues:
* alt+Y used to show @, now shows euro
* alt+P used to show ~, now shows @
* alt+. used to insert ".com", now goes to camera app
* alt+N used to show :, now shows "
* alt+B used to show ", now shows '
* alt+V used to show ', now shows lb symbol
Other similar discrepancies...

I think I have the UK English keyboard layout now, which is still QWERTY but the alt+ functions are off. I need QWERTY with American English keyboard layout that comes stock with HTC Status in the U.S. I have searched the forums but the only link I found to an English layout did not work (I copied the chacha-keypad.kl and chacha-keypad.kcm.bin provided in the post I found to /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars, respectively, but I still have the UK English layout).

Can someone please provide the keypad and key layout files for me to change it back to American English keyboard? And also the file(s) needed to change the alt+. command back to ".com" instead of going to the camera app?

Thanks so much!

I also have the symbols changed after S-Off and Root.
Can anyone help us please?

I have searched the forum, but either i'm searching for the wrong thing or I can't find anything.

Thanks in advanced
