yes twenty dollars it way too much for this app,

but still, its pretty and it is faster and smoother than pocketcm, it has not as many funccions as pocketcm has,

this may be good for pocketcm, but it does seem to slow the whole program down, and switching to landscape mode goes always slowly and badly,

but i will ALWAYS remain loyal to you TENE, pocket contact manager

lol

All I am saying is that it sucks that people can get away with profiting from someone else's work, that's all. It just pisses me off...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
I completely agree with you.

I've tested that app and it's deff not as good as PocketCM. Even if it was free, it's still not as good.

Ahem, have you guys ever had a look at the iphone interface? If not, look here:

http://ipod.about.com/od/iphoneinterfacegallery/ig/iPhone-Gallery--Phone/iPhone-Phone-Contacts.htm

And then consider, that the other guy apparently also wrote the code for his application himself. I wouldn't consider this "stealing" ...

Any contacts that I only have email info for doesn't show up in my pocketcm. Does anyone else have this problem? Its like they dont exist unless you have a phone# for them
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] egzthunder1:
I am saying that the thing looks awfully similar to tene's work. It is true that I could be wrong (it's happened once before :), but that does not change my feelings towards people who actually steal someone else's work. I do not have a clue about programming, so there is no chance in hell that I will ever know whether this app was stolen or truly created by someone, but... As far as I can tell, it is the same program, with a different colored-skin...

Again, I could be wrong...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] greg3d:
By default, they are not displayed. Adding the following line to the settings.ini file will now show them:

hide_contact_without_phone=0

The settings.ini file is in the theme file: *.cmt (which is just a zip file).

Alternatively, you can create a new text file called "system.ini" with that entry in it, and save it in the same folder as PocketCM and that setting will ovveride the settings inside the theme.

Just installed a new ROM,

Works fine now!

Thanx!!

Edit:

I noticed that in some windows (like in the config tool for s2u2) when i typ it filles out blank.. like a spacebar..

I then changed to the default keyboard and that worked fine, so the problem is 0.11b

i am going to install .10 again, did not have a problem with that one..

The filename of your latest keyboard is PCMKeyboardEN-0.11b.cab but the wince cab manager reports that it is still version .10... please update your link... tnx!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mickryan:
Have installed 0.11b but still showing expired

I got the Beta period expired message on 0.10 so have uninstalled v0.10, performed soft reset, installed 0.11b cab, performed soft reset but when selecting PCM keyboard get the Beta period expired message.

Tried the above process a couple of times but always get the expired message selecting PCM via input or via PocketCM.

I use this keyboard all the time after trying most others out there found this to be the most user friendly and easiest to use and will really struggle without it so any help appreciated.

Great app by the way!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amreason:
Just Donated! And just lost functionality for the PCM Keyboard like above. Cant wait to get it back! I love this keyboard!! NICE WORK!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nezorf:
I also have the same thing happening as above any fixes?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Uninstall, soft reset, redownload the 0.11b, reinstall it should be fine.

I made a mistake in the cab file I posted, sorry for the inconvenience.

Awesome! Thank you it worked!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mickryan:

Does anyone have a problem using PCM Keyboard after installing the HTC Dual Keyboard? aAfter installing HTC Dual Keyboard, typing with PCM Keyboard in SMS doesn't show the text - the blinking cursor moves as I type but no letters are shown :|
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daniel309:
same for me, pcm keyboard and htc touch dual keyboard installed. PCM doesnt work anymore... only blank text. unfortunately htc keyboard doesnt work with pcm contacts. key layout gets messed up and keys dont produce text, just blanks.

anyone knows how to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
Tene, Have you thought about adding sounds to the keyboard?

I'm usually against that, but, it would be very useful if you add a tiny tick sound, so one can confirm that the key was actually pressed, sometimes I write several words and when I review them, one or two letters are missing. :(

Just a thought. :D

Cheers! ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Ok,

here some problens found.

When i use my new dict.txt (with moreless 4mb) some times works, some times not.

when works, keyboard start to crash and frezen my device.

if i set as my default keyboard, after softreset the normal keyboard back as default.

when you tap in another part of screen the normal keyboard minimize, yours not hehe sometimes get a good part of screen and you cannot click where you realy need

for now is it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paranoid2007:
Could you elaborate, how this can be done e.g. in M$ Word?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
to be true i need to use access to import the files because was large then 65000 lines.

i rename the file to .txt

create a new database.

chose: file - import

for split coluns i select "others" and then put "/" inside the box.

now i have 2 coluns one with the word and another with the "special case"

delete the second colun (the special case one) and export as txt again.

and done ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
4Mb seems a lot to me. I need a very fast algorithm to know if word a present in the dictionary.

For the story: imagine you type a 8 letters words, but you're not precise enough, not every letter can be one of three (for instance, you typed 'r' it could be 'e' or 'd' also). That means, there is 3^8 possibility, so 6561 words to test... of course there's lot of optimization, and cutting, so I'm not actually testing so much words... but you see the picture.

The problem is what kind of data structure can be efficient this way... if I load a list of word, sort them, it still takes too much time... so it's not a list, it's a faster structure, that also takes more memory... (that's another story).

The conclusion to that, is that it takes more space in RAM to hold the dictionary that in the file. Takes 2.5 times more RAM as a reference (it's not exactly that, but we're close enough for approx).

So we go back to your huge dictionary, it needs about 10 megabyte of RAM... a lot isn't it?

Also we need to compare with actual word usage, in the current english dictionary, lot of words are not used that much.. we need something smaller, not bigger.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackleung:
Just want to thank you for another great apps after CM. Can you add "Ctrl" and "Tab" support in the future version? Those keys are needed if I need to complete dump the default keyboard SIP
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paranoid2007:
Maybe this link could help some people:

http://www.wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/html/wliste.html

The page was created by a german university. It contains lists of the 10.000 statisticly most often used words in german/english/french/dutch.

This would be as short as possible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Euh stupid question: what are the ctrl and tab key useful for on a mobile device?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_yellow:
ctrl is handy for cut/copy & paste (ctrl+x/ctrl+c, ctrl+v)

handy when the application doesn't support tap and hold option when selecting text.

tab is handy for adding indents and for moving from text box to text box.

btw, I think your app is awesome. and it's surprisingly accurate! thankyou!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
i think your app is very well done but i have a problem,

i change the dict.txt in dict.old.txt on my wizard nbd 7.9 rom, and soft reseted it but now my storage card doesnt work, it tells that there is no storage card in it and when i change it back it goes to normal:confused:

could you help me plz

thnx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CTSLICK:
Interesting little app and pretty usable. Your word correction/prediction is actually pretty good too, I'd try to keep that in the app if possible. I have two initial observations:

- slightly taller keys might help with accuracy

- a little, "dead zone" or border just above your keyboard might be nice. I find my self accidentally tapping just above the keyboard causing me to reposition the cursor in a message, email or note.

Nice work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
How to make a developer want to hit you on the head: make a sentence containg "little app", "pretty usable" "actually pretty good".

Let me try: your little comment was actually pretty not totally not interresting too, I'd try to keep posting on this forum if possible. :p

But eat screen real estate? don't you think?

I agree with you this but it would eat screen space too... I'll look if I can't do something transparent but not clickabel (so it will take space, but you won't see it).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levelbest:
Great little app - looking forward to its development - however due to the dictonary issues, unusable at this time.

You can't type the word - testing - without it getting corrected to something else. Frustrating - but like I said... looking forward to it maturing. Really liked the look and feel of it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackleung:
Mr Yellow is right. The "ctrl" key is extremely useful for copy & paste text among different apps. (Especially for long text like URL, email & password. )

"Tab" may not as important but it's a must if you need to edit "MAKE" file under Unix. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] maevro:
I figured out out that if you add a ' to the end of a word, it lets you enter anything you write without changing it. So now that is out of the way, my own issue is that I cannot capitalize a letter without switching pages, I really need a shift type of button to make a quick capitalization. Unless you can do that and I am missing it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CTSLICK:
Ouch! Nice shot...but not totally unwarranted. Point taken. :)

Anyway, regarding eating up screen real estate with the taller keys...yes it would but if it helps with accuracy I could live with it. Just one user's opinion...take it for what its worth.

I think your thought to add a transparent zone above the keyboard could work very well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Great app.

Suggestions by others that I support:

1. Ctrl

2. Shift

My suggestion:

1. default keyboard skin, have \B, \N and \M with colour, same colours or different colours is ok.

2. I suspect that the SIP is quite big, taking up a lot of memory. With my default keyboard with Xplode's Kitchen 2 rom, I don't have problem turning on BT and WIFI if I don't install too many applications. With your SIP, I'm facing problem turning either one of them on or both. Hopefully, you could work on reducing the size because this is the keyboard so far that is bigger (and don't take up too much screen) and don't cause compatibility problem with other app. I have tengo thumb and with PIE Plus, so when I open Pocket IE, it will hang. If without tengo thumb, Pocket IE don't hang.

Thanks and keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Well from what I understand here... that's copy/paste the feature that's required. So my question stays: are there other usage that for copy paste?

The reason I'm asking that is that I prefer make some copy/paste feature, in this app or another, than quickly adding feature present in SIP I don't like.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Again, explain why you need those keys. Remember I'm a noob, I don't use pdaphone for a while, and I don't see any usage, except maybe the copy/paste that should be proposed this way.

Well try to reduce the dictionary size. however SIP are handled in a strange way by windows: the dll is loaded... but not directly unloaded when you select another SIP, it happens ten minutes after. So if you switch between three SIP, then mine, the memory usage will be for 4 SIP.

Anyway, a large dictionary will use some memory... it would be interresting to search for a smaller one?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
Its a great keyboard, but can the sound be turned off? I mean when you select any letter or 'special' key you hear the noise.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:

Hi every one ! Can you teach me how to blog the auto correct function . I can't type any thing because after i type [ve] it auto convert to [be]:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sandworm:
pcm keyboard options-> uncheck enable auto-correction
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kikura:
many thanks to you . I 've fixed it ... Thanks a lots .:p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
The real question is more: why do you want to type "ve"

- because you're not using English, the solution would be to find a dictionary for your language. (many are available on pocket cm website, and if not, it's just a word list in a text file, lot exist on internet, and of course I invite you to share it with other people).

- because it's a word you want to use often: press your finger on the "be" displayed in green, slide down (while keeping the finger pressed) until "+ve" become highlighted, release. Now "ve" is a known word, so if you mistype "vr" ve will be suggestion and auto-corrected as needed.

- because you need to use it once or very rarely, once pcm autocorrect "ve" to "be" he shows a "ve" suggestion box in green, tap on it, "be" is replaced by "ve" as you typed it.

And of course, some people don't like suggestion, it removes one of the biggest feature of this keyboard (that allow you to type really fast), but if you don't like it, there's still the option to not use them, as mentioned by other users.

How do you do this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xfive420:
I love this thing but I can't seem to get it to stay installed properly. After I get it working, sooner or later (usually sooner) it stops working. When I select PCM Keyboard from the list of SIP options, I just get the regular keyboard.

To fix this, I have tried a simple reinstall and soft reset. No dice. I did get it working again once by uninstalling, removing the registry keys it creates, soft reset, reinstall, soft reset. However it only lasted for a day before it went back to using the default keyboard only.

I have WM6 on a Tilt. Anyone find a solution to this problem?

Update to this problem. My earlier "fix" didn't work in subsequent attempts. I also have the same problem when installing the TouchPal keyboard, so I don't think it's specific to the PCM Keyboard. Still, it's very frustrating. I have no idea what could be causing this.

For some reason, the 11b R3 release does not work like the previous release. When I type the keys do not pop-up anymore like they used to. I have to hold the keys in order for them to appear big, where as before I would just hit the key and the big (zoomed in) key would pop-up right away.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
Not sure if the suggestion made in this thread would help:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=342727&highlight=keyboard+list

But it might. Of course be careful with your registry.

Actually, the issue the posters are having is after installing, the new SIP shows fine. but after a soft reset, it doesn't work. Not just that it isn't the default, that it can't be selected, period. The reg thing in the link above may help. but not 100% sure.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
This is a "feature" of v.11b. I added to your same post on the PocketCM forum. And Tene provided an answer for why it is this way now. I don't prefer it either. But it fixes some issue that he ran into and allows faster typing if you use autocorrection (which I don't).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] The FD:
Is it possible to add cursor keys that can allow you to move along in each direction 1 character and up and down a row?

If I press the D pad then the keyboard hides itself so I then have to press the icon to bring up the keyboard again. So to add cursor keys would be really helpful.

Thanks

That link deals with a problem where the list of SIPs takes a long time to pop up. Not sure how it would help with SIPs not being selectable. I've tracked this down to a memory/resource issue, where the today screen and SIPs compete for memory during when they are instantiated.

Been happily using all versions and now 0.11b. I remember reading someone mentioning problem with pocketCM keyboard with Opera. I too am experiencing this problem but it only happens with certain websites, like my corporate login sequence for wireless connection. I need to key in my userid and password but when I put my cursor on say userid or password, the opera screen will refresh and so I end up not being able to key in anything. If I use PIE, no such problem. I'm using latest opera version, I think it is 8.65.

Hope the problem can be identified and rectified. Thanks.
