tmobile g1 german keyboard layout qwertz

5 Comments

hi guys!

yesterday i updated my phone to the HERO image.

nice design, but veeery slow!

and i had one BIG problem: the physical keyboard layout was QWERTY

so how to change it back to QWERTZ? Here’s the answer:

download the keyboard file and copy it to the /sdcard :

trout-keypad-v3.kcm.zip

and open the terminal emulator on the phone, or thru adb:

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/usr/keychars/
dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

and you are done!

cheerio, chaos
