[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tiggerbcn:
Has anybody put in a rom the program PocketCm Keyboard?, I have tried to put it in the rom that I am cooking but there is no way, not if it is necessary to do any modification in the registry that it is not known since in the alone cab of installation there is a key of registry that is this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]

"SuggAutoCorr"=dword:0

and putting it it does not leave in the SIP to be able to choose this keyboard.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
you need to register the COM component (a SIP is just an implementation of the right COM interface), search for pcmKeyboard.dll in the registry, you should find the required GUI.

However, don't forget about the license for PocketCM keyboard: http://www.pocketcm.com/licence.php you're not authorized to distribute it in your ROM. (and anyway, the version is time limited, so even if it was allowed, it would create some issue after expiration date).

Auto Correct & Auto Suggest Stop Working

Im having a problem on my HTC touch with PCM Keyboard. The auto correct and auto suggest features stop working after a while without actually disabling the feature. Once I notice that these features are not working, I go into the keyboard options screen and find that the two boxes have been mysteriously unchecked. Then I check the boxes thinking that this will turn the features back on but it does nothing. The only way for me to get these features to start working again is to soft reset the device. After a period of time, the behavior resumes.

PLEASE HELP.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_yellow:
This usually happens when you run out of memory. soft reset will fix things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robertshamie:
Nope. THat is not my problem. I have 55mb free.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] charleslee:
Hi mates,

I've tried searching with keywords "calibrate", "calibration" and couldn't find the answer, so I'll ask here..

after using this for a while, i realised that i might need to calibrate (or recalibrate) the keyboard buttons.

sometimes, it's off by one key, ie. i want to type "p", but it gives me "o", or "o", it'll give me "i".. ie. when i want to type "open", it shows "ipen".. but if i use the back-delete and retype everything, it's fine.

so, is there a way to recalibrate the input/onscreen buttons?

it does something "smart" by itself in the background, but it seems a bit (one key) off..

THANKS!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
That's probably your stylus calibration. The key pressed always will be suggested first, the key around will contribute to less probable suggestion.

Therefore there is no calibration or learning, however it happens that you need to recalibrate your screen on WM, but that's general and not keyboard related.

However, if "ipen" is suggested, that's probably because you have it in your dictionary, remove it (open word.txt in notepad), and you'll be fine... unless ipen is a word you want to use?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_yellow:
From what I understand, SIPs use a different part of memory which is limited (something about the page pool size?). If your dictionary size is too big or you have too many SIPs loaded into memory or if you have too many today plugins enabled, you can get what you got where the allow suggest and allow correction are turned off. Sometime you can't even load PCMkeyboard.

If it's really not this, then.. i dunno... figure it out yourself?

PCM Keyboard on start up

i searched in this thread, but i did not find an answer.

if i chose the pcm keyboard i can use it. but after a restart of the device, the standard keyboard is enabled again and i have to chose pcm manually again.

how can i make pcm to my default keyboard?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Lycox:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] turbo1zz:
Alright, I've done a search on this and yes I am a noob at all this but I am not able to find anywhere that explains how to change the SIP. I installed PCMK on my Wing which has been flashed to Touch-It and I go into the input section of settings and select the PCM Keyboard but it says I it must be the current SIP to configure and use it. I have had my Wing a total of three days now and am a complete noob to WM. I will continue to search out the answer but if someone can help a brother out I would appreciate it greatly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emanuel-paul:
is it possible to make some settings, that the keyboard does not open itself?

for me i would like to open it manually every time i need it.

at the moment it opens often, when i don't like it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ragart:
You can use a program called SKTools. Launch it, click View (left softkey), and click on All.

Then scroll down the main list until you see "Input Methods". Highlight PCMK and make it default. Then sleep your device for 30 seconds to make sure the change sticks, then soft reset your device. PCMK should then be your default SIM.

And I'm able to do all of this with just the free trial of SKTools (as long as you don't have more than 6 SIPs -- as the trial only shows up to six), so no need to worry about paying for anything.

Hey tene,

Thanks for the new update. Interesting name for this version. Are you starting to feel burned out or something? Hope you know that regardless of our criticisms, critiques, or congratulations, we all appreciate the time and work that you put into these projects.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
I'm having issues with this version. I appreciate the option to have the pop up window optional and configurable in terms of delay. I set it to 20ms, and after using the keyboard for a while, it essentially hangs. It will stil be on screen, and react when i push a letter, BUT it doesn't actually type anything. And I can't get it to leave the screen until I do a soft reset. Not sure if it will happen even if I leave the pop up setting alone or turn it off altogether.

Will try that and let you know.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
If I turn the popup off, it seems to work without freezing up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ragart:
Thanks for the new version, Tene! Is it just my imagination or is it a little bit faster than before at recognizing my keystrokes?

When is a full release coming?

BTW great addition of having the "option"(keyword option) of removing the popup letters. Sure I know it's kind of what made the keyboard so popular in the first place and it may have urked you to implement it but honestly to me I just needed a "bigger" keyboard with bigger better buttons. And PCMkeyboard does just that. Thanks for listening to the community!

Your releases keep getting better. Seriously waiting for a full version.

XT9

First of all, thanks a lot for this great keyboard. This was really the thing that was missing on my touch. Work with it since a few months.

Now with the new Dual Touch rom around and XT9 some here facing the issue with changing the registry to use your keyboard. I did it, works well, but I kind of miss the new XT9 feature on the touch. Especially when you want to put the addressee in. With XT9 you just type the first letters and you have the number, without you have to go thru your whole contacts to get it.

Will you implement XT9 in one of your next versions or is there a way to get the addressee feature back?

Thanks!

Some problem on O2 Xda Flame.

Memory foot print in 11C and 12 seems larger than 11b.

At least I can start 11B after releasing every other stuff running on Today and turn on the Today items after again.

11C and 12 is 100% unable to start on O2 XDA Flame. :(

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
what do you call 0.11C there's no such version
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CWKJ:
Oh sorry, than it must 11a working for me and 11b/12 not working for me. I think it is not just your SIP has this problem, some other commercial products like CeStar has similar problem too. I have to change the SIP right at the start to get into it, if I do it after running some other apps or keep a lot of apps open, it can never get into it.

But it is fine with me using the older version as long as the expiry does not comes it.

Only thing missing is that when typing contact names, the contact info does not appear like the other SIPs. Would be a nice feature to add on?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Trekvogel:
0.12 Doesn't work on my Dutch Touch. 11b works just fine though. The sip just won't show and switches to default wm keyboard.

sound when hit keyboard

Hi Tene, I am wondering if on the next version,could there be an option for sound for a tactile feedback..it can be a little click or something..i know we can choose the option in the sound and notification on the pocket pc but it make sound for every screen tap then.. an option for only the keyboard tapping? it would be a great option to have along with the feedback window. :)

Thank you so much

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tranman79:
I just noticed that when you do this registry change...you lose the ability to type in a few letters for a SMS/Email Recipient and select the correct person (otherwise you'd need to Add Recipient which is a PITA)...when I enabled the key again, it worked...but obviously there are the "invisibility" issues with PCM Keyboard.

Love the keyboard. Love the contact manager... will keep contributing $$ as it keeps improving.

There MUST be a way around this. Is there any way I can help unearth more useful debugging info or something?

Memory consumption...

Any way to reduce the memory footprint for that keyboard?

I sue SIPChange to select which keyboard I want to use after a soft reset.

When I select the regular MS keyboard, I end up with 23.1MB of free RAM

When I select PCMKeyboard, I end up with 21.5MB of free RAM.

That's 1.6MB for the keyboard. Make no mistake, I would still use it, as the are no alternatives anywhere that matches the confort of this keyboard. Yet it's the keyboard that uses the most RAM.

So I'm wondering what takes so much. The skin? Seems that between choosing the "default" skin (all white, so I'm assuming there aren't any bitmap loaded) or chosing the dream skin, I'm getting a 500KB RAM difference.

Maybe you could do the same you did in PCM contacts, create a "skinless" mode that would just use different color schemes & gradients. This way you still get a visually pleasing result, while lowering the RAM usage.

While I'm at it, may I request that a sound be played when hitting a key? I tried the resco keyboard which does that, and getting a sound feedback really adds something...

And a bug report; when changing the keyboard skin in the options, the layout goes all wrong; I always have to reselect it after the skin change for it to be working properly again.

I've got the same problem. I couldn't believe that they don't work together.

Any idea if this will be fixed?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 2manyphones:
This works for me...

I have attached a cab file for "HTC xt9". It is intended to convert your 20 key touch (XL, Dual or Cruise) keyboard to a qwerty 40 key. Considering I don't use the HTC keyboards anyway, I tried it to see if it would make PCM keyboard and PocketCM work together - AND IT DID! Given this is a cab file, if you don't like the results you should be able to uninstall it. However, I don't know if it does anything else that would make your standard keyboard not work, so use with caution.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luccio75:
Thx for that but unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

Does it work for typing sms ?

The keyboard works for editing contact but not for writing sms.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Thanks. But in my HTC P3650 regestry this value is already on "0".

But still the input from pocket CM doesn't work, but only when I scroll via Pocket Cm contacts to person to sms!! In all other cases, it works just fine :S

Strange!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] X-Kent:
+1 here

PocketCM keyboard works really strange... It works well in every program I tried.

But when I launch the pocketcm contact manager it doesn't work there... only the space button work (rest keys don't even have a sound that they are pressed but I get that "feedback" poped..)

I have that registry hack at 0 by default (or maybe I changed it a while ago, don't remember for sure)

Any ideas ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marendo:
I think the problem is XT9. Try to disable it with this change in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409]

"Layout Text"="COMP IME"

"Ime File"="\windows\compime.dll"

After soft-reset the problem is solved... at least in my case.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luccio75:
IT WORKS !!!:D

Thanks a lot, marendo, you're a great champion ! :cool:

Forgive me if this is answered in the 51 pages of this thread...

I was going to try out the new version v0.13. I haven't had this on my Kaiser before.

I went to the pocketcm web page and downloaded the CAB, first directly to my computer and then second to my Kaiser. Both times, opening the CAB on my Kaiser resulted in installation unsuccessful errors.

Not sure why. Other SIP's work on my Kaiser but not this one.

Is there a trick to installation?
