I made the french layout for the standard HP Touchpad bluetooth keyboard, every key should work as expected.
I also added uppercase accentuated letters to ctrl key (ctr+éèà).
Tested in Cyanogenmod 9 alpha 2.
To install, simply overwrite the content of "Generic.kcm" located in /system/usr/keychars with the data I put at the end of this post (sry, I haven't found how to attach a file
).If you get a 'read-only' error while trying to modify the file, then you will have to remount /system in read/write mode:
In a terminal in su mode:
mount -o remount,rw /system
I also had a problem with android market: it was working but doesn't want to download anything (download runs endlessly), I fixed that by simply chmod'ing /system/bin/drmserver
In su mode:
chmod ugo+rx /system/bin/drmserver
