Tilt keyboard fix - Download here

TaurusBullba R.I.P. · Oct 7, 2007

I've updated the Tilt keyboard fix to address the apparent issue with the Smartdialer keys also being incorrectly mapped when flashing a non AT&T ROM onto the Tilt. This will also fix the FN character issues being incorrectly mapped too.

This was tested on a Tilt flashed with the (current) HTC ROM and worked perfectly.

Install -> Soft Reset

Enjoy!

IMPORTANT:

Some people have reported that this cab didn't fix their Smartdialer issue. It's important that you uninstall the older cab that was posted here (if you even installed it), then soft reset. Then install the new one and soft reset one more time. That should do it.

Do not unzip/decompress this .cab file on your desktop and move the files over to your device. It won't work. You need to copy the .cab (as is) onto your device and tap to install.

This is great! Any tips on how to accomplish the reverse...if someone say, wanted to put the Tilt ROM on their Kaiser?

Remove the registry key and soft-reset.

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"CWSLayout"=dword:00000001

You "should" be able to just navigate to:

HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD and delete CWSLayout, then soft-reset.

EDIT: Dang, Pof beat me to it.

When you flash the HTC ROM (or any non-ATT ROM) onto the ATT Tilt, some of the alternate (FN) characters on the keyboard are mapped incorrectly. This fixes that.

It is a registry entry. I was originally looking for the same "qwerty" entry (like in the 8525), but instead the following was the culprit:

Code:

[HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
create - CWSLayout - value (1)

ahhh - i have a feeling there will be many registry differences from 8525 to 8925....

Thanks for the knowledge

which HTC rom did you put on it? Got a link to it? I think it's time to de-ATT mine.

Not hard to find, it's stickied in this forum.

Already downloaded that one, but I just wanted to make sure that's the one to use on the 8925. Better safe than sorry with something so new

You're trying to install it from your computer, don't. Move it over to your phone using activesync then tap to install.

its a cab file, try right clicking and save/as. stick it on your PPC and then run the cab. it worked fine here.

I have a bit of an issue when on phone mode. This fixes the FN issue, but doesn't fix the caps issue when on the phone mode. I'm trying to search for a name and the W is a Q, T is a V, there is no S, D is a F, and so on...
