Such a simple solution. I unticked my today plugin then reset, installed & reset again. Choose my sip and for the first time, it allowed it immediately. I enabled my plugins, did a reset and it refuse to allow it again. Unticked once more and reset and I can choose it once more. Thanks once again for the tip.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
what today plugin are you using?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Abram:
Pocketbreeze and ILauncher. Here's what happened now after install. I'm sure this has a simple solution. I'm running in vga mode and the skin appears justified the left not centrally over the keybd.

Again many thanks for getting it going.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Abram:
Just donated. Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ha22y:
I always uninstall the previous version, restart then I install the new version. It works for me everytime. Make sure you do not activate any SIP when you install the new one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
Great SIP, a must have definitely.

One thing that I notice was, when you tap on the 123#? button when in uppercase the layout changes to lowercase instead of going to numbers and symbols.

I've changed a couple of things in the layout, added a \, ñ, Ñ, but for an unknown reason the first line moved a little, here's a screenshot:

Not a problem, but I just wanted to let you know.

On thing that would make a big difference would be the option to turn on/off autocorrection from the kb itselft, without having to go to options, a button can be placed in the cut, copy, paste part, IMO.

The autocorrection is great, but makes it difficult to enter an email address or enter folder/file paths, right know I have it off, but having the option to turn it on/off easily would be a big plus.

I don't know, just a suggestion.

Keep it up buddy, your apps rock!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CWKJ:
Your shift happens on layout 3.

My shifted only on the last line of layout 2 (when "shift" key is activated).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raymonds:
tene, that's a great idea! here's what i found out...

Guys, don't try this unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing. I got this from here: http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=45727

and to quote the WARNING from the moderator there:

- It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO BACKUP your ppc beforehand, bcos any single mistake u enter into your registry for your input method is likely to cause ALL your input methods to be unrecognised = have to hard-reset.

- I insist u check your values SEVERAL TIMES to check if its correct, before u tap 'ok' and soft-reset your device (mistakes irreversible after that except hard-resetting).

================================

to make pocketcm keyboard the default SIP

i) Open your registry editor (e.g. PHM, Resco, etc).

ii) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip

iii) Change DefaultIm's string value to {BB25F2EB-688C-4698-ADFC-F422A148AD4F}

iv) Soft-reset

to make 'Keyboard' (the original one) the default SIP:

i) Open your registry editor (e.g. PHM, Resco, etc).

ii) Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip

iii) Change DefaultIm's string value to {42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}

iv) Soft-reset
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Thanks I'll look at it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_yellow:
Hey Tene,

I apologize if this has been discussed previously, but do you have any plans to introduce fully adjustable key sizes?

ie. some rows are higher than others, (keyboard row is a little bigger in height than all the other rows making space bar easier to hit), or some rows have wider keys than others (stretching 6 keys on a row to make them bigger instead of having them clustered and centered leaving white space on the sides.)

Just a few ideas, congrats again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
It hasn't been discussed, but I don't see how it would really works better. If you have some mockup to show, then it can become a feature, but for now, nobody even tried to make real custom layout, nobody changed the row height, or made really different skin. So I'm not thinking about that, and I focus more on enhancing completion, suggestion and reactivity.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 2manyphones:
My 2nd attempt at an iPhone like skin

My goals:

1. Largest keysize possible in a QVGA portrait layout. Some people may not like how much screen it takes up, but this works for me.

2. Similar look to the iPhone keys - there are some things I miss from my iPhone!

3. Addition of a comma and period on the main screen - without holding down the 123 button.

4. Staggered letter keys. I find this promotes less mistakes.

5. Addition of a \ key on the symbol keyboard.

6. Addition of www and .com keys on the sympol keyboard (thanks to "Zard" for posting how to add specific keys and map images to them!!!!)

7. Have 123 at the top of the keypad.

Make sure you select both the layout file and the skin. This is only English, but people should be able to use this layout file as a base and copy the keyboard settings of your choice. There are also fonts to put in the \windows folder, if you like the "trebuc" font seen in the screen shots.

The skin could still use some graphical tweaking, as I don't use any advanced desktop publishing program for the edditing and am not a graphic designer.

Hope this works for some of you, or helps someone create something to their liking. Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_yellow:
Unfortunately, I don't have any mockups.. I know the whole idea of this isn't to copy the iphone keyboard exactly, but if you look at the symbol/number keyboard layout for the iphone keyboard, certain puncutation keys are larger (wider) than other keys.

I found a screenshot which I've attached.

I think having the configurability to widen/heighten certain rows would be good for usability. but that's just my 2c. I love the keyboard the way it is right now too... The more complicated it gets, the harder it is to use...

I understand you want to focus on other features. I'll leave this topic alone for now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LlamaV3:
lol, I spy my "www" key skin, hehe.

This looks like a really good skin, I was just thinking about how to make the keys bigger. I can see me customising this to my own requirements if you don't mind?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 2manyphones:
Sorry LlamaV3, I must have looked at a reply to your post from "Zard". Yes, I did use your www key. Feel free to use any of this skin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Using a BA with xplode kitchen 2 rom. I don't face problem with installation or uninstallation. Only issue I face is when I create my own keyboard layout and set it to default, and when I do a soft reset, it will not be the default layout.

The other point is, if you had selected this SIP to be default and wants to uninstall it, set your default SIP to either the WM5 default keyboard or some others, before you uninstall. I think this step applies to all SIPs, I think.

Hey tene, what's the RGB value for the transparent color in the keyboard? Is it fuchsia or just PNG transparency?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
PNG transparency.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bellfazar:
Thanks. One more question. Is there a way to have keyboard_pressed_image be a single key image rather than an image of the entire keyboard when pressed? What I'm trying to say is that instead of having the entire keyboard (depicted in keyboard_pressed_image) display parts of itself when I press a key, I want to be able to have one image that displays itself individually when I press the key. Make sense? But when I use key_one_image_pressed and comment out keyboard_pressed_image like I would figure, I end up with a blue background when I press a key. How can I prevent this and do what I'm trying to do?

Edit: Can there be separate images defined for the hold to access items? For example, if I hold down return, I get a menu popup containing the cut, copy, paste, and option buttons. However, because my key widths are 34 pixels and the key images themselves are that width as well, these options (which are 2 keys long) displays incorrectly. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

What I'd like to be able to do is have those buttons be their own separate images, that way I can edit them as I see fit. Is this possible? How easy would this be to implement?

Also is there a way to define different images for the feedback_image and feedback_mask_image for different keys? I'd like to be able to make the popup wider for the special keys so that I can fit their text in. Possible?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] poorlyduck:
I love this keyboard but the only thing that was holding me back of using it is the icon, Im so picky when it goes to graphics, so I managed to mockup the original windows icon. thank you for all your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] barbudor:
I definitevely checked twice. In fact I even went to CLSID to check tha the value was correct and copied from here.

No way, it froze my device :eek:

Needed to hard-reset :mad:

What ever I tried to make PCM Keyboard to work on my Orange SPV M700 (HTC P3600) failed (tried SipChange, IM Selector and above registry trick) without any success.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Hi tene,

Helmi has released the first WM6 rom for BA. I tried to install PocketCM Keyboard 0.7 into this rom but about 1/3 through installation, error message occurs saying that it cannot be installed. Installing into Storage Card gave the same error message.

Hope you could help me out here because I am beginning to miss your keyboard since I installed the WM6 rom.

Looking forward to your 0.8 version that solves this problem. Thank you.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tizzi:
Can you make the "," and "." appear in the front (instead need to go in 123#? panel) cause I think most ppl use 2 this sign while they texting...so please

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
by the way,

my last question was about the suggestion thing,

not the layout,

i am dutch, so would be nice to have it suggest dutch words.

how can i make something like this my self?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
just find a wordlist (a txt file containg words), ideally something below 100K with the most common word and rename it Dutch.dict put in in pcm folder, and you should be able to use it.

There's probably already a list if you search in the pcm forum.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
your great!!!

but i see that i am asking things i should be able to find my self..

so sorry for these simple questions.

I think this is the command:

symbol_pad=[key],[pad letter]

in [key] put \M that is the mode key and in [pad letter] you put everything that you want to display
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ixtana_ran:
Skinning help

Tried a symbol pad but thought it was easier to have a 4th layout. Works OK just need some assistance with key skinning. think I understand changing the setting ini, but don't know where to start with designing keys. Don't have a graphical bone in my body.

Could someone write a simple walk through or post some ready made keys.

I'll enclose my layout file in case any one can finish it off in a touch style.

It needs the usual smiley's and some quick reply text, i.e. "love you"- a heart?, "call you back"- a phone? Plus home, escape, end and delete.

It is a work in progress so i would like to be able to do it myself rather than keep asking in this thread, but it is easier to learn if I can copy and change till it works.

It is asking a lot, but if you don't ask??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Al66:
cheers mate, that's spot on. ive got symbol pads for everyting!

this is the best sip out there at the moment, and ive tried them all!

Svenska, Swedish layout file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
on the forum i found a file with all the dutch words and named it dutch.dict .

now i can use it.. great!

BUT..

its making weird suggestions.. unless its supposed to be this way

when i type

gaan (which means going)

it suggests haat (which means hate)

is it not supposed to try and finish my words when i have not completely typed them??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
no, and unless the dictionary is not very good, it propose haat (it's in blue, not green). because maybe you typed gaan but wanted haat...

completion is handled by windows mobile; I don't do completion yet.

by the way 0.8 is up
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
Thanks for the new version tene, downloading now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] petervbeck:
Wow....0.8 is working really great (but i also never had any issue with the older releases), phantastic work!

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
ok thanks..

btw. i try's 0.8 but it would not work..

when i did a soft reset... and i wanted to change it, it would not load 0.8

would just stay on the defautl keyboard..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ric'O:
Hi, i've got the same problem, i delete the 0.7 and install 0.8 but when i want change to PCM Keyboard it's still the default keyboard on!

Hi, i've reinstall the software 2 times and now, it's working, great thanks:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Abram:
Me too! I'm using Athena WM6 in vga mode. I love this keyboard but selecting it from the sip list drives me up the wall. When I do get it to work, any soft reset and we're back to reinstalling again.

Still I'll keep trying. When it's settled down, perhaps Tene you can find out for us why it is difficult to select it from sip. There's no rush, you're doing a great job. Please keep it up!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] barbudor:
v0.8 is out but still can select it on my HTC P3600 (SPV M700).

I used SipChange. Did soft-reset.

Still nothing.

Has anyone suceeed to run it on P3600 ?

Am I crying alone ? :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
@all

Please report:

- the version you're trying

- the last version that was working (if ever)

- the other third party SIP that works (if none works, the issue is probably not related to pcm keyboard).

Try to:

- uninstall

- soft reset

- install

- soft reset

- test

- soft-rest

- remove all today plugin

- if you have any other SIP than the default keyboard set as default, set it as default

I can't really help, and without those information, it's even harder.

It has always worked for me, on my Touch or in the emulator, I never got such issue.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Abram:
Sorry Tene. You're right it must be hard with the little info we supply.

V 0.7 worked on and off (Always had to reinstall after soft reset except for one time when it worked flawlessly).

Tengo free works always, even when set as default

Transcriber, Symbol pad and default keybd works always (the rest I disabled using SKTools).

Only PocketCM keybd is difficult to select from list. It installs ok.

I'm running Athena with WM6 in truevga mode (moving to a cooked Rom soon though)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] extraducksauce:
noobeist of noob questions:

(1) how do use the .skin? i tried the same method as pocketcm (changing the name to default.skin), but to no avail.

(2) how do you turn off the auto-correct?

Hi Tene, does it still support WM5, 'cause I installed but can not activate it in my PPC (Dopod C800 WM5 original ROM)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Hi tene,

Thanks for the v0.8 update. It installs ok in Helmi's WM6 rom.

Confirmed \\ is fixed (those of you using [1\] remember to change it back to \\) and also layout after change stays in options. Soft reset will still use the layout that you had set.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
after 3 try's i got it to work !!

One question about the dictionaries...

One thing i would love is something that i like about happy tapping.

it remembers past words and combinations you typed before.

and then i uses them give a suggestion to finish the word,

like if i one before already typed birthday and in a later sms i type birt then it will suggest birthday

Is this something that is possible for this keyboard?

Thank you!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Abram:
Tene, after 4 resets and following your cycle above, I got v0.8 going. That's it, no more resets. :)

BTW the black vga skin is skewed to the left, meaning keys in the last 2 column O,P,L and ' remain blank. Back and return keys show transparent. It's still usuable though as I know where the keys should be and also get feedback from each stroke. I'm sure there's a simple solution somewhere.

Apart from that it's working as sweetly as ever. :)

I'd like to ask you to pay attention to this bug http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?11,2742
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Buf found

I found a small bug in the 0.8 version.

The bug comes when I write at the beginning of an SMS when I already typed something and then I moved back to the beginning.

This is what I tried:

- typed "say "

- moved back to beginning with Dpad

- type "sue" -> he suggests "due"; Good!

- click Space and I get "Sdue ay"

I tried it again putting a space before "say" and then trying to type "sue" again but the correction still does'n work well. The strange thing is that this second time, the word suggested is no more "due" but "she".

I attached a video with the steps I did.

P.S.: is it possible to lock the shift only if the shift key is pressed twice "quickly"? It often happens that I press it by error and I have to press it 3 times again to return to the lowercase mode.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
i had a strange thing when using explorer...

i clicked on a field where i need to type,

then the keyboard game up, only it was pushed up to the center of the screen,

and under it you could see the today screen.

then i noticed it was not only in explorer but everywere...

then i changed the keyboard to happy tapping, that went fine, then changed it back to this keyboard, and it worked fine again..

dont know why it did what it did..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
The problem appears to be that this app try to autocorrect the word (put capital) while my keyboard does the autocorrection, I'll try to find a workaround. The current user solution is to press space before going back to the beginning of the word.

By the way, how did you make the video?

Not working consistantly on my 8125 (wizard)

I installed it according to your directions and couldn't get it to work.

Then I tried the suggestion under reply #45, #47, #57 of this post. Worked at first but after having to do a soft reset to remove/install a different unrelated program it wouldn't allow me to pick it again from the list.

So I tried the directions from those reply #'s again. Worked once. I had to do a soft reset a few days later for a new program and it is not working again.

I have tried soft resetting the phone a couple time to see if I can get it to work. I have unistalled any programs I installed since this one to see if it was a command conflict. Still not working. Is there a registry value to where I can forcibly change the default keyboard to this one instead of having to use the 8125's wm5 standard input control in the setting folder?

BTW, running all OEM rom etc...This app looks awesome and I really want it...
