Remapped keyboard issues in 2.1

Ok, I rooted and remapped the keyboard, and ti works fine, however, in order to get rid of the ugly language bar in landscape mode, I unchecked "default input settings" in the settings and.... they keyboard started acting as finnish/swedish again! When I checked "default input settings" - it reverted to normal. Is there any other file to edit?

Any other ideas where the keyboard layout might be hiding?

if you uncheck the default input, the system uses the qwerty.kcm.bin file in /system/usr/keychars folder.
to get that replaced by the english layout you have to copy the qwerty-en.kcm.bin file from the /system/usr/keychars/mimmi/keyprints folder up into the /system/usr/keychars folder and save it as the qwerty.kcm.bin file.

i have read this somewhere on the x10 forum. i can't find the topic at the moment.
as i mentioned in another thread, the paths are from android 1.6. they might be different on 2.1.

You didn´t understand. This is easy, and everyobody does it. The problems start when you untick the default entry method in keyboard properties. Read carefully first post.
