Thank You
[Windows Mobile Themes] cincy1020:
Go into any program that uses keyboard. For example, open to write a new SMS. Then when you select keyboard, I believe you will see PCM keyboard listed there.

After that, you will need to go into settings/input, and select PCM keyboard as your default keyboard.

If you are going to use skins, you will select them there, under options.

Also, you probably want to install default IM program, which I am attaching for you. If you don't install it, you will have to reselect PCM as default after each soft reset.

PS: If you need any more help, just ask, hopefully I'll be able to help you out. I am a newbie, so it's a treat when I'm actually able to help someone out :)

I'm currently trying to find info on how to make my own skin.

I did a google, typed "make skin pcm keyboard"

Found this thread:

[Windows Mobile Themes] cincy1020:
It looks to me like your battery icon is in a tray, if this is the case, it will not move (it will always be at the bottom of the today screen. You may want to look into other battery indicators which are today plugins. I really like one called Vista Hide Battery Guage. IT is a very thin colored strip which goes at the top of the screen, and changes color as battery goes down. I will attach a screenshot for you to see.

I just did a restore & got the Spacer to work like i wanted :P

I have the iPhone keyboard

But I want the one like shown in Pics Below:-

I like the Nums to be with letters

& the Internet Explorer ICON & .Com tab

How do i get that layout ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2manyphones:
Make sure you are selecting one of the Eng iphone layout files included in the zip file from post 1 or post 46. You must select both the layout file and the skin file in the PCM Keyboard settings for it to work correctly. Restart the device to make sure the layout has applied and you should be good. :cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonnyyellow:
would LOVE to use this skin

but for some reason, it is not letting me select PCM keyboard as the default... on top of that i cant seem to change the default from the Touch Keyboard at all!

is there a reason this is happening?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonnyyellow:
some how i got it to set as default

while in settings -> input

on the bottom bar of the screen i also selcted the PCM keyboard... now it allowed me to default it.... weird?
[Windows Mobile Themes] cincy1020:
Did you first open a program which uses keyboard, and select PCM (such as IE, or new sms)?

After doing that, you should be able to set it as default.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ilordvader:
I do not know how to set it to - Eng iphone layout :(

is there a way to do from registry ?

i did get the - Eng iphone12.layout from the Zip file

anyway so i opted for the - Eng iphone15.layout in option mode :)

Thank you for ur Help tho :)

Hello there,

I am testing the Greek layout on a WM6 ETEN x500 with the English Rom installed, however the Greek letters are not readable, (I see symbols rather than Greek letters).

I have successfully installed the SPB keyboard and Greek Keyboard skin and it works great with the Greek letters, but not the PCMkeyboard.

Any ideas

Thanks

Try a soft reset....

If it is still not working after you soft reset the device, you may want to look at the pocketCM forum for help. It is not as highly posted as XDA, but it is the developers support forum.

[Windows Mobile Themes] g6t6o:
I must be stupid, I can't get this to work. I installed PCM and it's working fine. I DL the zip and unzip, but it won't let me move the iphone skin and layout to the PCM cabinet. Am I doing something wrong?
[Windows Mobile Themes] jumong69:
Thanks for the great layout for the keyboard. I only use this one now.

But it seems that there is a problem with a landscape mode (when using PocketCM contacts SMS.)

With using the iphone12 with a note application, it shows all the keys. But when I open this skin with Pocket CM contact with SMS typing in landscape mode, the right hand side of the keys just become white and can not type letters on that side. It covers about 20% of the landscape keyboard.

Is this layout not compatible with the CM contact SMS landscape mode? Or maybe there is a problem with my phone....

Thank you

Touch xl skin

Hi,

Dowloaded and copied the Given TouchXL skins into the PCM keyboard folder beside the other skins at My Touch XL, inwhere PCM keyboard is already installed.

After I select either xl 123 or xl sym skins,

What happened is that NOT typing anything or typing, but not seen. (maybe it types white that is why non visible, as I noticed that cursor is moving.

The effect is the same when I press space button.

What the heck is this??? Anyone can comment ???

Loaded Rom is the recent Rom 3.0 from Swiftable.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2manyphones:
I very rarely use my Touch in landscape and never with PocketCM / SMS, so I can't say if the skin is set up for that or not. You may want to try some of the other skins or layouts that I have posted (links) on page 1 of this thread to see if some work better. If you can post a screen shot of what you are seeing, I can try to help identify the problem .

I had this problem with one of the PCM Keyboard versions and one of Swiftblades ROMs. If I remember correctly it is a compatibility problem with the HTC Touch Keyboard/Keypad with XT9 and PCM Keyboard.

I would try:

1. Make sure you have the newest version of PCM Keyboard (version 13 was released 1/13/08). http://pocketcm.com/keyboard.php

2. Swiftblade lately has not been including the Touch Keyboards in his ROM (THANK YOU!!!) so my guess is you installed it. I would unintsall the keyboard, reset and see if PCM Keyboard works.

3. If the Touch Keyboard is on the ROM, go into settings, input, Touch Keyboard and unckeck the box for XT9.

Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Themes] tmknight:
Did you look in the registry for the key? It is rather intuitive.

[Windows Mobile Themes] brutalturtle:
this works perfectly. thanks for the good instructions as well!!!

edit - SPB keyboard does not seem to be the default when I restart device, even though I have installed IMselector as well... does anyone have suggestions as to why this is? it's not a big deal I guess... I made sure I set everything to SPB as default, then went into IMselector, then let it stay on for a few minutes. When I turn off/on the device to see, it doesn't work. If I open IM selector it actually has SPB as the default, but the windows keyboard icon on the bottom is showing the stock touch logo. That's pretty weird...
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2manyphones:
This thread is related to PCM keyboard, so I don't know if you are confusing the name or the application. :confused:

If you are trying to set SPB FullScreen Keyboard as the default then you have likely done right, you just need to press the top left keyboard key on the default looking keyboard. SPB works best to have a buttom mapped to it as it will not automatically pop to landscape full screen automatically.

If you are having problems setting PCM keyboard as the default, I would try the program SIPChange, instead of defaultIM and see if that works.
[Windows Mobile Themes] brutalturtle:
sorry!!! i meant pocket CM keyboard, yeah I was reading about SPB and i totally messed the names up. sorry. Yeah DefaultIM doesn't seem to do anything, I left it on for the night then power off/on and same thing. I'll search for SIPChange, I didn't know about this. In the meantime, do you have a link to the .cab?
[Windows Mobile Themes] anywhereanytime:
Just "2" many threads to catch up on ... THANKS 2manyphones for pointing me to your EXCELLENT looking iPhone layout.

I know that you get far too many inputs, but in our search for an iPhone like keyboard, we came across this "version".

http://www.maxasia.net/2007/07/04/iphone-like-keyboard-for-windows-mobile/

I like the "up/down/left/right" arrow keys and the "multi-tone nature" for easy use - what do you think about this and, of course, how difficult would this be to create for Pocket CM ??

We love Pocket CM !!

Don't get me wrong, your current layout is leaps ahead of the standard crap that HTC and Sprint give us !!
[Windows Mobile Themes] turboshare:
Thanks a Lot

very usefull
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2manyphones:
Thanks! I used that skin for the "Happy Tapping Keyboard" before PCM Keyboard came out. I will need to look and see about the arrows. I don't know what the layout commands are for those. I guess I always just tap on the screen to move around, so I am not sure how needed they are.

Try this skin and layout I have been working on. It is a clone to the iPhone keyboard (created from screenshots of my iPhone ;)). Let me know what you think.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anywhereanytime:
OK I'll take a look. The arrow keys - in a tight screen space - are more accurate than a fat finger. We find ourselves holding the tiny stylus to navigate the cursor - you know how you type something and then want to add a line. Even more useful in typing a URL since when you first hit the URL line it auto highlites the entire URL - and maybe you only made a mistake on 1 letter, but 7 spaces back.

Your layout 12 is phenomenal with the pop-ups like CAPS and number line - perhaps the same with the arrow keys ?

The only problem we had is that the CAPs perhaps should have a "lock" option, or the time to press and hold to initiate caps, adjustable - it really slowed down the typing.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT PROGRAM - BY FAR, the best we have seen !!
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2manyphones:
Glad you like my skin and layout. Keep in mind this is not my program. Tene (aka Quentin) is the developer and deserves most of the credit for such a flexible SIP.

On your caps comment, if you press the shift key (up arrow) once you get one letter caps. If you press twice quickly it will caps lock. Tap twice to remove the caps lock.

Depending on your device and application, you may also try the d-pad (up,down, right,left) buttons on your device. This is how I navigate into specific text without using my finger.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anywhereanytime:
I realize that it's not your program and Tene deserves a ton of credit , but you made a huge difference to the many users I have read, including us now !!

The forums on Tene's site are the first place we scoured before truning to XDA and PPCGeeks. Why isn't this reference on Tene's site ??

The CAPS lock works excellent, now that I understand the sequence.

Not so good for the d-pad. I just tried a test message in Word, and left right arrows work well - but the up/down jumps, for some reason and not 1 line at a time ... strange. I'll try some other apps to see if it is the same ?

Does it do that for you ??
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2manyphones:
You are correct it seems to be application driven. In word the d-pad controls right and left, but up and down go from top of the page to bottom of the page / text. In Notes, the up and down don't do anything.

The solution: MS OneNote Mobile. That works great with the d-pad. I have attached a cab for it, if you don't have it on your device. Of course I will still look into incorporating it into the keyboard skin layout.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anywhereanytime:
Thanks for checking out the d-pad action. I for one am anxiously awaiting the next gen devices at 640 x 480 - and even the UMPCs at 1024 x 800. I am absolutely amazed how well you have managed 320 x 240 pixels.

AND THANKS for the OneNote Mobile ... I will definitely be trying that since I use OneNote on my TabletPC - and it's terrific !!
[Windows Mobile Themes] marendo:
¿Box for XT9?. I don't have a box for disable XT9 in configuration of Touch Keyboard, I only have a few options (exactly 6) about XT9 configuration, for example the last is "Multitap Word Completion" (sorry my ROM is in spanish and i don't know the correct traduction in english).

In the forum of PCM Contact there are many people with this problem but until now nobody know how to solved.

Thanks.

I am having troubles installing the PCM Keyboard onto my HTC Cruise. I have tried several solutions opted in this thread.

Firstly after I install the .cab, then copy the skins to the right directory, I went to Settings > Input. There I select the PCM Keyboard, as soon as I press options I get the error PocketCM Keyboard has to be the current SIP in order to configure it

Ok, no harm done, let's use Default IM (IMSelector) to set PCM Keyboard as default and reboot. But it still gives me the same error.

Then I have tried disabling the xt9 via registry, but that results in the error:

the selected input method could not be loaded

I have no idea where to go next, any help is much appreciated!
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2manyphones:
Not sure what you are after. Can you be more specific on what characters of the Resco version you want?

Password layout

Great skins 2many. Using it for a while perfect.

I have been trying to make my wizard easy to surf the net and one of the most frustrating things is entering passwords, having to remember different ones, on my desktop I use SplashID and also have it on my ppc. On a desktop you just keep maximising, Minimizing, copy & paste password, its simple. But not on ppc its to fiddly.

Now my reason for posting is this, I've thought of an idea (well still thinking, really) to make it easier using tene's keyboard.

Another layout with numbers or letters either randomly placed or even hidden? and instead of remembering the password you just remember a pattern? i.e. say around outside keys and a middle key?

Like I said its a thought in motion, what do you think? The layout is not to difficult but the graphics for me is beyond my scope.

Comments please. Flame me if you must.

Sorry if this is hijacking your thread.
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2manyphones:
Not a bad idea. In fact I have customized a layout with my common passwords. You can add anything you want to any key (other than anything random) by modifying the layout file. Change the extension from .layout to .txt, open in wordpad, add your characters to the key you want it to pop up from, save it, change it back to .layout, copy to device and select it in the keyboard settings.

That is my fault. :o I have made so many layouts with different keys, this one I didn't add them. I have attached a layout file that has the greater and less than if you hold the space bar (same place the ! key is :D). Make sure you select this new layout file "2many2" in the settings and I would suggest restarting the device to make sure it has applied the change.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Blindf8th:
New to phone tweaks ect and wanted to purchase the HTC Touch from Sprint, but hated the keyboard and from the reviews most people do. Since I text a lot I started looking for another phone until I found this site.

So my question is, once I install it per your directions, will I have to update it if it works fine? Also, this is designed to work on the Touch correct?

Thanks again for helping a newb... :)

Blind
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2manyphones:
Yes, you may have to install new versions of PCM Keyboard as the developer releases them. The program is under development and the creator sets the beta versions to expire. You shouldn't have to reload the keyboar skins or layout file however, just uninstall one version, restart device, install new version and reselect the skin and layout.

Yes it works great on the Touch. There are some issues with the default keyboard and the windows autocomplete feature, but if you have never used another device with this feature, you won't know what you are missing. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Blindf8th:
hmmm Maybe I'm missing something (I am new to this stuff), so please forgive me.

To clarify I will not be able to just load up PCM keyboard version *.* (i guess this is the backend programming part) because the its set to expire? Does it just stop working? Isn't it a pain to constantly have to dl these revisions? If it works and I dont care about a few bugs, why would I need to change it or why would it expire. Is it like trial software on a PC (expires in x days)?

Apologies again as I'm just a tad confused on the objective since the the idea of mods is to make life easier, not a monthly change which from an initial thought seems like a pain. My n00blet self has gotta be missing something here lol

thanks again...

problem with pcm keyboard 0.14

The one and only problem i seem to be having with this newer version that i didn't have with 0.13 is when i type in a contact name... i dont get auto suggestion as i did before. all settings are the same but for some reason i have to backspace to get my contact suggestion.. for example if i want to send a text to "Jason Smith" with 0.13 i could type j and all j's would come up as suggestion and would narrow down as i continue to type in letters.. now i type in j-a-s-o-n.. etc and nothing happens unless i backspace a letter.. then i get my suggestion.. any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated .. thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] 2manyphones:
Unfortunately this problem has been documented in the main PCM Keyboard thread here and on the PocketCM.com forum with no resolution. Your choice is to use V14 and use the backspace or install V13 and live with the beta expiration notice anytime you restart or change input methods.

We have requested V13 with no expiration, but the developer doesn't want to do that. :confused:
