mda pro english rom upgrade

[motin]

as any one already found a way to change german to english on mda pro sold in germany t-mobile

[decebal]

i'm also extremely interested into this topic.

i'll have the MDA Pro in about a week and want to try alt least 2 things:
1. english rom upgrade
2. switch the Z key with the Y key.

Thanks for the interest !

i have my german mda pro since today.

Problem is the warrenty sticker is in front of a screw.

So i dont know if we can switch eh Y and Z

[decebal]

i was hoping that it will be something like a pc keyboard ... that we can remove only the keys and not the entire keyboard.

mine arrives in a week ... so i still have to wait

do you like the german version or waiting to upgrade to english one ?

i am happy with it,

i will only start working on it till my xda 2 is sold.

in the mean time ill try to make it english and look at the keyboard

To remap the keyboard, use this: http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap_t.html

Takes a while to learn how it works, but works like a charm.
You will have to create your own keymap file.

I was succesfull to change the keyboard from QWERTZ to QWERTY

I wont recommend it, cause the size of Y and Z are a bit different.

The Z is ok and u wont notice, but the Y has 0,5 mm difference on the sides.

U can get used to it very fast though. And u dont really notice it.

This all without voiding warrenty stickers..

Now i need a english rom to enable QWERTZ ->QWERTY

[decebal]

excellent news ... can you give some detailed step by step

thanks

I also changed in the german rom the keyboard from qwertz to qwerty

by editing the registery

hardkeyboard show qwerty now, the on screen keyboard is still qwertz

but i dont use that one so much.

now for a english rom update...
