Next issue after updating my T-Mobile UK phone. Most ROMs are available for mainly US keyboard layout ( qwerty ), but unluckily my keyboard layout is UK ( qwertz ) – after updating, it started working funny. Whenever I am typing Z, it was printing Y and vice -versa . So, I started to check /system folder for the solution. The file with keyboard character type placed under /system/user/keychars/ and the name of the file is trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin . So, searched and found that keyboard layout and then replaced the present file of USqwerty keypad with it to make it qwertz layout. Bydefault, /system folder is read-only. So, follow the procedure written below, before that copy keyboard layout file after downloading it from following URL

1) Power of the mobile.
2) If you followed my previous post for rooting G1, you already have cyanogen recovery installed on your phone. So, press Home + Power to start your phone in recovery mode.
3) Choose last option, “Go to Console”
4) type following
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/usr/keychars/
dd if=/sdcard/trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin of=trout-keypad-v3.kcm.bin
reboot
And voila … you are done 
keypad will work as it was before rooting/putting US roms in it.
More laterz buddies.
Next time will be with step-by-step tutorial to making partitions on your MicroSD card including swap, which is suggested by most ROMs for Google G1.
