Hi, this keyboard is way better than the original one.
Is there a way to change the qwerty layout to qwertz?

A while back i've added Hebrew & Arabic support and that required adding some code bits and recompile fastsms because i needed to add 2 new layouts which act differently than tye rest - please note that i am not the maintainer for this package and dont fully remember its structure.

If the keyboard layout is in QML:
find the qml file and change it and restart the phone - no further actions are needed

If the keyboard layout is in the binary file:
Since what you want is basically switch latin1 characters, you can try to open that fastsms binary file with a hex editor (you can copy it to the desktop and do it there and it must be a hex editor) then page down the file until you see a qwerty pattern.
Once you find the pattern, replace the q hex value with a and z with w. Do the same for the capitals. Bring the file back chmod 755 it and restart.
it ia important the you only change the hex values and not adding/removing characters.

Thanks for your support!
I've already looked for seperate files where the keyboard layout is stored, but I've found nothing.
So I will look if the Hex-Editor will bring me further.
I will report.

Ok, tried the hex editor way and I have to say, it's quit hard to find any pattern.
I've found only one pattern which is clearly a qwerty thing.
at this point I exchanged the letters. Sadly it doesn't helped.
It's all still like it was before. I find that astonishing because I've expected some problems when editing the wrong things, but there is no effect at all.
It seems I have to live with the querty layout.

The good thing is that we have so many program sources for our device. My first impression is that you just have to swap the two keys in the file kb_qwerty.ui, which can be done by simply dragging and dropping the keys to the right place in Qt Designer. And then recompile of course. If you can't do it by yourself, I could try to do it for you.
