….. dobre wino w zakładzie. Byłem przekonany, że w obu ankietach wygra Galaxus Samsungowy Drugi. No a na Fejsie wygrała Lumia, czego oczywiście serdecznie gratuluje Nokii. Ktoś powiedział, ze tu na blogu są tylko freaki, geeki i techno wariaty i dlatego taki wynik. No nie wiem… Tak czy inaczej to tylko pokazuje, że nigdy [...]

Sony Ericsson is happy to help you if you are in search of localised keyboard mapping information to develop your own ROM. On their developer blog, they have added the keyboard variants of Xperia pro and Xperia mini pro to those who are interested in developing region specific custom ROMs. So, if you’re one among them, it’s essential to make sure that your ROM handles the physical keyboard corresponding to the region you are developing it for. ie, your ROM should support the special characters or extra keys if your region specific keyboard demands it.

Sony Ericsson welcomes your feedback and queries regarding this and the developers out there are willing to help you achieve your goal on developing your own ROM.

For more information on the keyboard layout and to get support from the Sony Ericsson team, visit their developer blog.

In past posts, we have talked about Xperia Studio, and the really cool things we are producing with a lot of creative people. From 360 degrees rides on a mountain bike, to showing the invisible universe through an app, Xperia Studio is always pushing the limits of technology and reality.

Now, Xperia Studio presents The Swarm, the first movie filmed exclusively with Xperia arc S smartphones, directed by Tom Harper, BAFTA nominated British director of movies as The Scouting Book for Boys, This is England ’86 and The Borrowers.

The Swarm, written by Geoff Bussetil with help from Daniel Kaluuya, is the (really scary) story of an alien invasion, viewed from the eyes of several characters through their phone cameras, giving the short a subjective and realistic feel.

For The Swarm, Tom used a handful of Xperia arc S smartphones, and to get more steady shots, he built a cradle for the phones, rigging them up to a tripod and professional monitors. Also, many shots were captured freestyle, providing the subjective element that plays a strong role on the movie.

Don’t miss the behind the scenes video, so you can experience more of The Swarm, and don’t forget to check out our Xperia Studio Facebook app and  site for news and more incredible videos.

Arabic

Arabic keyboard layout.

The Arabic keyboard layout is the keyboard layout used for the Arabic languages. The keyboard contains both Arabic and Latin characters, since Latin characters are necessary for URLs and email addresses. 

AZERTY

AZERTY keyboard layout.

The AZERTY layout takes its name from the first six letters to appear on the first row of alphabetical keys. It is modelled on the English QWERTY layout, and is used most by French speakers based in Europe.

Bopomofo (Zhuyin)

Bopomofo keyboard layout.

The Bopomofo keyboard layout is often abbreviated as zhuyin and colloquially called bopomofo. The system consists of 37 characters and four tone marks, and makes it possible to transcribe all possible sounds in Mandarin.

Cyrillic

Cyrillic keyboard layout.

Danish/Norwegian

Danish/Norwegian keyboard layout.

The Danish/Norwegian keyboard layout includes dedicated keys for the letters Å/å, Æ/æ and Ø/ø.

Greek

Greek keyboard layout.

The Greek keyboard layout follows the U.S. layout for letters related to Latin letters (ABDEHIKLMNOPRSTXYZ), substitutes visually or phonetically similar letters (Φ at F; Γ at G) and uses the remaining slots for the remaining Greek letters: Ξ at J; Ψ at C; Ω at V; Θ at U).

Hebrew

Hebrew keyboard layout.

The Hebrew keyboard layout has both Hebrew and Latin letters. Since Hebrew is read and written right to left, as opposed to the left to right system in English, the cursor keys and delete keys work backwards when in left-to-right directionality mode.

Korean

Korean keyboard layout.

Korean is typed similarly to Western languages. Therefore, its layout (Dubeolsik) shares its symbol layout with the QWERTY keyboard. While Korean consonants and vowels (jamo) are grouped together into syllabic grids when written, the script is essentially alphabetical, and therefore typing in Korean is quite simple for those who understand the Korean alphabet Hangul. 

Latin (Xperia™ mini pro only)

Latin keyboard layout.

The Latin keyboard layout is the parent layout for QWERTY, QWERTZ and AZERTY. 

Portuguese/Catalan

Portuguese/Catalan keyboard layout.

The Portuguese/Catalan keyboard layout follows the QWERTY layout with the addition of the letter Ç, the only application of the cedilla in Portuguese, and which has its own key.

QWERTZ

QWERTZ keyboard layout.

The QWERTZ keyboard layout is mostly used in Germany and much of Central Europe. The name comes from the first six letters at the top left of the keyboard.

Stroke

Stroke keyboard layout.

The Stroke keyboard layout refers to strokes needed to form Chinese Hanzi characters currently in use in China, Japan and Korea. The method is widely installed in mobile phones with small screens because the method only requires five key taps for the 5,000 commonly used Chinese characters. It is also considered too tedious requiring a user to type out all the strokes constituting a single Chinese character.

Swedish/Finnish

Swedish/Finnish keyboard layout.

The central characteristics of the Swedish/Finish keyboard layout include the letters Å/å, Ä/ä, and Ö/ö.

Thai

Thai keyboard layout.

The Thai keyboard layout allows you to write Thai script. The less frequently used characters are accessed by the Shift key.
