[PATCH] Russian keyboard layout

Shura · 02:56 AM

Hi!
I wrote a patch which adds Russian layout for keyboard. After install it you will able to change English/Russian layout by double SYM.

Further information in Russian: shura0.ya.ru

Patch for WebOS 1.4.5 is here
Patch for WebOS 2.01 is here

Thanks!
I will give it a try.

by the way, you should use Mojo.Char.metaKey instead of 57575

can't make it running. do i need the uinput service?
installed it using WOQI and i'm using German O2 with 1.4.5.

Did you restart Luna or rebooted the phone? It should work.

No, you don't.

palmpreacher · 07/07/2010, 08:44 AM

sorry, but still no go.
I did a full device restart.

* webOS 1.4.5 (WR)
* webOSQuickInstall 3.14

see attached screen capture.
do you output something in the log file so i can check the /var/log/messages
should it work anywhere, unisearch included?

Thanks again for your prompt reply.

Shura · 07/07/2010, 09:15 AM

No any logs. Unisearch does not work, First letter always is English. But search in notes or address book works well.

Ok, I'll test when I get home.

Shura · 07/07/2010, 12:14 PM

I've tested and found all works well.
I have German Pre and WebOS 1.4.5

could you make an Arabic keyboard layout?

Shura · 07/08/2010, 01:17 AM

Is it? Microsoft Arabic 101 Keyboard Layout

yes, and if you need an Arabic Font there is one called: Nazli.ttf
you can google it to download it for free.

Actually WebOS support Arabic but cannot display or it hides Arabic Font, Arabic SMS's and Web pages appears as blank. do u know why? and how to make webos display Arabic?

Shura · 07/08/2010, 02:41 AM

Try this:
Get Nazli.ttf, rename it to batang.ttf and send to palm in /usr/share/fonts/. Reboot the phone. Arabic font will appear (probably).

amjz · 07/08/2010, 02:52 AM

yes i know this, i tried this like others did and still cant display Arabic, all report this and i dont know why this trick works for hebrew and dosnt works for Arabic!
i tried a Hebrew fonts and it works, but Arabic dosnt work!

Shura · 07/08/2010, 02:59 AM

Sorry, but I can't help you.
Palm pre from Germany works with Russian pretty well and displays Russian font from the box. So, I just added Russian layout to keyboard.
I don't know how to add Arabic support.

amjz · 07/08/2010, 03:01 AM

its ok thanks Shura

Shura · 07/08/2010, 03:02 AM

BTW, did you try that font? DejaVu fonts | Download DejaVu fonts software for free at SourceForge.net

amjz · 07/08/2010, 04:03 AM

same thing, only hebrew displayed and no Arabic.
i think this is a system thing in webos.
anyway thanks for ur help shura

palmpreacher · 07/11/2010, 03:12 AM

Shura,
you are the best!

I don't know why but I can't install the patch using WOQI. I edited the mojo.js file and sent it manually. works perfectly!

I did some cosmetics (changed the language indication size, color and position, reduced timeout to 700ms) and of course changed the keyboard mapping to Hebrew.

The entire Palm Pre Israel community thanks you.

Shura · 07/11/2010, 05:57 AM

I'm glad to hear!

Rabbi-emu · 07/29/2010, 04:57 PM

Is there a way to have both russian and hebrew input not just one .....?
