Is there an app to change bt keyboard map?

[philicibine]

I have bought a bt keyboard from maplin here in the UK.. And some of the keys aren't right.

I have seen a tutorial on how to do it the hex editing way.. But I am wondering if there is anything in the market?

Same problem here,

I bought an azerty bluetooth keyboard (I'm french of course) and it's in qwerty in Android.
I need to remap the keyboard and I tried to edit the qwerty.kl and it's work for some letters but I can't remap everything.

Does anyone know where can I find a solution or how can I remap everything ?
I've red the [HOWTO] topic in Xoom section but it doesn't work on the TP (gingerbread vs honeycomb).

Thanks !

I planned on trying to work on this after finals this week, but I am no expert so there is no guarantee that I will do it well or fast. I googled and found some decent how-to's so we will see how it goes.


Oh and I have searched and searched and have not found a keymapping app, though there was a keyboard (hackers keyboard I think) that stated that the would include that in a later update.

*edit, it was bluetooth keyboard easyconnect that is adding keymap support.

You should search for a qwerty.kcm.bin that has the french layout. It should work for any azerty.

For example from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3616778&postcount=178

Just use the azerty.kcm.bin and put it in /system/usr/keychars as qwerty.kcm.bin
Make a backup. You need to remount system as rw.

If that's work you can go and modify /system/usr/keylayout.kl to map custom buttons on the keyboard.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work...

BlueInput should support different keyboard layouts (http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid).

You can always make your own keylayout.kl and name it whatever your keyboard is named. I did this for my BT keyboard and it works well. Use this keytest app to find the key number for all the buttons, then go ahead and use the generic.kl and erase everything and start from scratch. It's not too hard, just follow the syntax and you're good to go.

Here's a link to all the possible key events too.

You need to be rooted....

You can change the key mapping using this app, but and you can also create some personal keyboard shortcuts ( which is what I do)
