Try to replace files "eve_qwerty.kcm.bin" and "qwerty.kcm.bin" in folder  
"/system/usr/keychars/" with same files from 2.2 firmware with qwerty

Thx. But this method caused my keyboard to stop responding. I found a rar file 
of the gw620 and I manually remapped the eve_qwerty.kl. Here is the archive 
file if anyone encounters the same ;)

I replaced base file by the six ones provided by amaury.l...@gmail.com, it 
works very well. A bit long to do with adb, but efficient.

how did u did it man? cause i used root explorer and replaced those files and 
my keyboard went nuts!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

jjcastil did you set the right permissions?

Original comment by omarbeko...@gmail.com on 10 Apr 2011 at 5:09

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Just use root explorer to set r/w permissions (mount r/w), extract the file to 
your computer. Use adb shell with these commands:

adb push eve_qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout
adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout
adb push AVRCP.kl /system/usr/keylayout

adb push eve_qwerty.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars
adb push qwerty.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars
adb push qwerty2.kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars

adb reboot

everything should work fine, even the symbols. Hope this helps ;)

for this?

Original comment by jjcastil...@gmail.com on 10 Apr 2011 at 6:16

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is the fix. Maybe you should try deleting the original files and replacing 
them with the files from usr.rar ;)

OpenEtna or LG official keyboard layouts are not compatible with the GB Alpha 
test version.

Some patch sets of the OpenEtna froyo (by Polytheus) are not applied to this GB 
like as

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In that case, can you provide the correct files for QWERTY in GB as well?

Several of us are anxious in this forum:

[GoogleCodeExporter]

this is fixed libui.so
It will fix keylayout compatibility issue.
(https://github.com/OpenEtna/android_frameworks_base/commit/8182915bb58e19b00ba3
51b193974bc95f3164e2 by Polytheus)

It ignores ATCMD* etc. symbols.

you can push libui.so as following

  adb remount
  adb push libui.so /system/lib/

----
And I also fix to support persist.sys.kcm.eve_qwerty property to change kcm 
file using System Settings.

ref:
https://github.com/OpenEtna/android_packages_apps_Settings/commit/0d9a4e7d951d0b
cd5b3178427f28bf02fcdc3c0f by Polytheus

(this patch support persist.sys.kl.eve_qwerty property.
but I think it is more flexible to change kcm (keyboard char map) rather then 
kl (key layout)
----
attached eve_qwerty_gw620.kcm.bin is the original OpenEtna kcm file.

----
You can change your keyboard map file (kcm) like as following

 Settings => Language & keyboard settings => Built-in keyboard => Keyboard Map(kcm)

currenty only two kcm files are supported
qwerty(KH5200. default) / qwerty(GW620)

after change your default kcm you have to reboot
(or adb shell killall system_server)

Thanks! It works pretty well, there are even extra charaters from keys that are 
not labeled with special characters.

Sorry, but I don't know what to do with the .patch and the .diff files though.

Maybe I'm lame, but it does not work. The symbols on the QWERTY (GW620) work 
fine. But the "Z " -> "Y" and "Y" -->"Z"
Diferent mapping: the symbols is incorrect. And the "Z" -->"Y" ...
I did installed the update-gb-110412a.zip

Any idea?

Original comment by faddil...@gmail.com on 13 Apr 2011 at 2:49

change QWERTY >>>>> QWERTZ

Then the symbols is incorrect!!!

Original comment by faddil...@gmail.com on 13 Apr 2011 at 3:12

[GoogleCodeExporter]

are you sure ? someone says it works. the others says it doesnt

It means that you have changed your /system/usr/keylayout/eve_qwerty.kl

restore your eve_qwerty.kl and try again.

I made it!
I rewrote the eve_qwerty.kl key21 - Z ; key44 - Y

I must be missing something obvious here but I couldn't seem to get my azerty 
physical keyboard recognized as such. Here are the steps I performed, please 
tell me where it went wrong.

I upgraded from openetna cyanogen 6. I've installed update-gb-110412a.zip (I 
did a fastboot -w before and after) from gb-recovery.com.

In Settings => Language & keyboard settings => Built-in keyboard => Keyboard 
Map(kcm) I chose Azerty (I had QWERTY, QWERTY(GW620), QWERTZ, AZERTY, CUSTOM). 
But the keyboard remained qwerty, despite many reboots...

I finally found a way, I post it here in case it helps someone else :
* adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
* edit this file, swap A for Q, Z for W, save as qwerty-modified.kl
* adb push qwerty-modified.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
(At this point, the characters were ok but the symbols were all wrong because I 
still had the AZERTY layout chosen from the menu)
* Choose the QWERTY(GW620) layout from the menu

All characters and symbols are now ok. What did I do wrong at first ?

oops!! Settings.apk has wrong information for eve_qwerty_azerty.kcm / qwertz
sorry. (eve_qwerty_(underscore)azerty was miss typed as eve_qwerty-(dash)azerty)

Please see issue #21

http://code.google.com/p/openeve/issues/detail?id=21#c7

and... It is not recommended to modify the default eve_qwerty.kl
(OpenEtna's method)

PoweredB // You can make your KeyboardMapping (please see this Wiki page)
but It seems like that this is a Chinese keyboard mapping and
you have to use XIM application to combine it's characters.

you can use *.kcm but direct input method does'nt combine its chars.

Original comment by wkp...@gmail.com on 14 Apr 2011 at 7:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The new update (update-gb-110414.zip) contains the same eve_qwerty.kl, so I 
guess it won't fix the problem I had with my azerty keyboard.

Also, what problem has been addressed with the fixed Settings.apk ?

Finally, is there a way to change the keyboard layout without rebooting the 
phone, maybe from adb shell ? It's taking an awful lot of time to reboot 
everytime...

j.cubizo // don't try to fix eve_qwerty.kl and please see KeyboadMapping.

In Settings => Language & keyboard settings => Built-in keyboard => Keyboard 
Map(kcm) I chose Azerty (I had QWERTY, QWERTY(GW620), QWERTZ, AZERTY, CUSTOM). 

 1. check persist.sys.kcm.eve_qwerty property.

   adb shell getprop persist.sys.kcm.eve_qwerty ("eve_qwerty" is device name)
   eve_qwerty_azerty (this is kcm name)

 2. you don't have to reboot. just try to kill some application like as ADWLauncher

   adb killall com.android.launcher (launcher is automatically restarted)

 3. try to type keyboard.

Original comment by wkp...@gmail.com on 14 Apr 2011 at 9:58

I found how change QwERTY in AZERTY

For beginning download and install Root explorer on your GW620
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LMYBRCCZ

- After with root explorer go in system/usr/keychars rename eve_qwerty.kcm.bin 
to eve_qwerty.kcm.bin.old and eve_qwerty_azerty.kcm.bin to eve_qwerty.kcm.bin
- Go in system/usr/keylayout rename eve_qwerty.kl to eve_qwerty.kl.old and 
eve_qwerty_azerty.kl to eve_qwerty.kl

For me it works nice.

HOME or BACK is touch keypad.

when this device initialized it search "synaptics-touch-button.kl" 
KeyboardLayout
but "synaptics-touch-button.kl" is not exists, so the "qwerty.kl" 
KeyboardLayout loaded.

@ wkp. Don't know what changed but now it's working, characters and symbols.

* I applied update-gb-110414.zip
* chose azerty layout (qwerty-gw620 works too).

and now my keyboard is azerty. The only difference with my previous attemps is 
that I checked persist.sys.kcm.eve_qwerty, killed ADWLauncher from a adb shell 
as you suggested but I don't think it could have made a difference.

Thanks a lot for your help.
