excellent keypad!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Okay guys, a couple of you asked me for a WQVGA German XL-Skin. I just made one, but I cannot test it, since I only have an HD. Please try it out and post a screenshot to let me know how it looks.

Since this is a Beta version (until others test it out), please backup your land-00-types.txt file before you overwrite it with mine. Follow the instructions in the READ Me file to make sure the space bar looks right.

I hope it turns out okay. See my signature for download link.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RealGunman:
hi guys

it's me again...

i still have my explained probs with fingerkeyb 2.0! :(

during installation wqvga-version on my kaiser the second tab (yellow one) isn't available, yet!

and after finishing installation and softreset i always still get after chosing fingerkeyb the error message

could be another installed software the reason for this prob???

i. e. some months ago i used pocketcm without any probs, but layout wasn't as good as your's seems to be. so i want to use your's of course... :D

please help!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kostis:
Thanks! I had to resize the arrows but I moved away a bit the M character so you won't accidentally hit PgUp.

The only problem with my keyboard is that the letters are a bit close to each other, but it was the only way to have the exact layout of the pc.

Feel free to replace the greek letters with the ones in your language, it's easy to do this, just look at your keyboard. ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Lucas0511:
@Chris Cross: Is there a way to deactivate the automatic backspace after each period/dot? It is a pain writing net and email adresses.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Yeah, depending on what you type more often (sms or internet addresses) it can be really handy or really annoying. ;)

You can edit the skin file as follows:

Find the entry with the TEXTcomma (toward the end of Row 2)

At the end of that line, replace SS:2. ,SS:2, ,SS:2. ,SS:2,

with SC:.,SC:,,SC:.,SC:,

Make sure that after the last SC:, there is no hidden space.

That should do it.

If I knew what skin you are using (WVGA, WQVGA, XL version), I would do it for you. But anyway, it is so easy to change it yourself, that you should have no problem.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] anoniem:
heey thaanx man but do you have also the dutch version . netherlands
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RealGunman:
hey, chris chross

ich denke, wir können uns auch so unterhalten... :D

was brauchst du konkret, um mein problem analysieren und hoffentlich auch beheben zu können???

gruß, ich
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] s.schoenthaler:
I think it does not work, because the information for the hight of the keyboard ist stored in the file "skin-02-wvga-port-00-types.txt" under "Size" (Standard is 480 335) and this file is not correlated to the language of the keyboard. it ist for all keyboards. my problem would be solved if the file "skin-02-wvga-port-00-types.txt" could be defined to a keyboad language.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
I like this a lot actually! Looks very nice for people that can't live without PC style kbd. Great work!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Lucas0511:
Thanks Chris Cross, that did the trick, and my backspace button gets less use :-) And as an idea: Liked the copy/paste secondary buttons I saw in another skin. Could be handy. Sadly my landscape mode still shows portrait skin, no clue why.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Are you asking me?

I don't have a dutch version, but I think someone in this forum made one. Did you already use the search function "search this thread"? It might help you find it if it is indeed here.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Hi RealGunman,

yes, although we could communicate in German, the forum language is English. So let's stick to English when posting threads. That way other people can benefit from the information if they encounter the same problem.

In terms of your problem, that seems more of a question for Rozenthal, since he's one of the creators of this keyboard. I just do skins.

However, your Problem intrigues me. I'll look and see if I can find a way to manually enter those settings in some file. If that works, then at least you can use that method until a real solution is found. I'll post back if I find anything and I'll send you a quick PM letting you know.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Some thoughts and info... Long, but not boring :)

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who's been with us in the past week.

The download numbers are crazy, it's over 7 thousand downloads in just 5 days

(in comparison, all previous versions together made 7k downloads in 4 weeks).

As you can imagine, these big numbers generate a lot of feedback, questions, ideas, new layouts,

bug reports and so on. I have done my best to be present here on the thread and provide

as much help as my knowledge allowed. I'm glad some of the more common problems were solved by using the

advices provided here.

I have also been carefully documenting all reported bugs / suggestions / new language layouts,

and have sent a summary txt file to Exidler today so he doesn't have to go through the whole thread.

As I'm sure you've noticed, he's a private person and does not talk a lot here on XDA :)

However, he will go through all reported bugs and try to see what can be fixed.

Some of you guys here have also been a great help with your own suggestions and solutions

and reports and especially very interesting ideas with layouts! Many people also sent their own suggestions

via private messages. I cannot and don't want to predict what will be included in the next versions

from this huge pool of feedback. However, I am sure some of it will find it's way into next versions of

FingerKeyboard, especially the new language layouts.

Also, many of the functional ideas are actually very well though of. But, if something doesn't get included,

it won't mean we don't appreciate your work and input, but rather that we consider it best left to each

individual to decide if he wants to use it or not. After all, that's why we have XDA for :)

I would also like to say that I have not overlooked not a single bug report. There is no need to repeatedly

post same bug reports. The fact I have not replied simply means that I do not know the solution to your

problem, and don't have a clue as to what could you try to solve it.

Now that almost a week has passed, I believe most of the common problems have been reported, and

that's why I sent my bug report summary to Exidler. I will be less active on the thread in the next few

days, since I'm going on a business trip, but don't worry - I'll follow the thread when I can and

I will report next week what Exidler figured out about some of the unsolved issues.

Best regards to everyone, hope you're enjoying the FingerKeyboard!

Rozenthal
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
I'm glad you got that sorted out.

I think all my skins have those copy/paste buttons. Press Shift and look on top of X, C, and V.

Hm, I don't know why landscape mode shows the portrait skin. I assume you've tried minimizing the keyboard and showing it again. ;)

Unfortunately, I have no experience with Manila 2. Let's hope someone else here will figure out how to fix your problem.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
@Rozenthal: Will you be stranded in an island again? :D Take your time! And thanks again for ALL your time, HARD work, and dedication. Please pass that message on to Exidler as well. We all greatly appreciated what you two have done!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RealGunman:
yes, of course - you where right. i only thouhgt, it might be better or easier (for myself, too) to explain my probs this way for better understanding. so let's go on using english... ;)

do you know whether there are more kaiser-users having this prob?

anyway, thanks a lot for your help! i'll be waiting for your pm...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
I don't know if more kaiser users have that problem.

Just out of curiosity, if on your Kaiser, you go to the Fingerkeyb folder and open the FingKbdConfig.exe file, do you still have the same problem?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RealGunman:
i don't know.

i've to reinstall the keyb and to test it.

so i'll answer tomorrow...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SBS_:
Don't know if anyone has answered you, but it's included in the official release.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] phantranphuc:
Amazing keyboard.Thank you so much!

But where can i find ";"?

Thanks again!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JLowe:
@Chris Cross

Thank you very much for your awesome layouts! I also wanna ask if there's a way to make the buttons in portrait-mode a little bit bigger?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JLowe:
Also another question - where I can't find any answer:

It's possible to disable the poup when typing a button?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kostis:
Thanks! I'm very happy to hear good words from some of the guys who have devoted so much time to this project!

Please feel free to add my skin as an alternative layout in your first post. ;))

FingerKeyboard PC skin
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RealGunman:
okay, i tested what you wanted to know.

it's same error this way! :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Heart1010:
I had this issue in the new manila version (L26_v8 rom) too. I can reproduce this when I switch the keyboard from Fingekeyboard2 to the standard keyboard from the new manila and then back to the Fingerkeyboard2. After that I also get only the portrait keyboard in the landscape modus. Only soft reset helps after that to get the correct landscape modus.

So my solution for that:

- SIPChange and select FingerKeyboard to default (delay >40) so that FK is the default keybaord after a soft reset

- and sure... don't change FK back to the standard keyboard from the new manila in your daily grind (who needs the standard keyboard when fk is there ;))
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] great:
I just installed the keyboard and its really good.

I'm trying to find a skin/layout for landscape like this...is there one ?

thank you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kuwait:
It is not necessary to use dot if you have in the layout ready combinations of .com .net www. @.com @.net and etc.

.co.uk for the English Language instead of .ru.......

Fantastic!!

Luv it!!

Very Very Usable!!

Will be the only 1 i will use..........

Now a bit of Help plz.

Is it @ all possible to change .ru to .co.uk on the English Language,

as i think this is more approptiate to it.

I have attached an image of what i mean.

Thanks.

EDIT: I have edited skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng but when i click the now .co.uk button

I only get .co

How can i fix this????

I have attached the edited file & a image of whats happening
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kuwait:
Where is the file?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cirion:
It's selectable yes, but I think the user has the same problem I had...

I left only English and Norwegian checked, and the language button says NO for English and EN for Norwegian.

It's a logic error (or at leas I disagree), the language button says what the keyboard will be if I press it. To me it makes more sense to have it say the what it is now, so that it's easier to change between the different layouts.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] great:
following up my question above it seems that on landscape i dont have the layout displayed on the picture of the first post from the author.

instead the specific "." button is missing, next to "n" and "m" it has two empty spaces etc.

The picture layout is perfect, can't we have this ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kostis:
You have to change the line

Key 410 79 44 62 2,2,8,2 key0 key1 l,co.uk,L,,	SC:l,SS:3.co.uk,SC:L,NN

to

Key 410 79 44 62 2,2,8,2 key0 key1 l,couk,L,,	SC:l,SS:6.co.uk,SC:L,NN

That will work fine ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] thedaddyy:
The instructions you have given me only changes what it

actually looks like on the keyboard.(that was not my problem) i.e.: couk

The problem is actually when i use the button i only get

.co apposed to .co.uk
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kostis:
I understood your problem. You just didn't notice the 6...

'com' maps to 'SS:4.com' (4 characters)

as well as

'www' maps to 'SS:4www.'

So you have to do

'co.uk' maps to 'SS:6.co.uk'
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] thedaddyy:
Thx Mate sorted i just should have copied and pasted your reply.

1st time ive done sumthing like this & this is just the begining.......
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Flashhawk:
hey,

can somebody please post the keycode for the tab-key so that i can add that to my action file and layout? A complete list of keycodes would great as is,because you never know :)

Thanks in advance

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] qrzysztof:
Hi,

I haven't followed the thread although I'm pretty familiar with the keyboard. I don't have time to read the whole thread so if the problem I am going to present has already been reported just ignore my post.

There seems to be a problematic place on the keyboard in landscape mode. It is exactly in the middle at the bottom of the screen where the icon to switching keyboard used to be. If you put a space in there it works fine, because space is big. However if you put several smaller buttons there there are problems with mapping. Some buttons may not react at all and some may overlap (not in graphic sense but in mapping sense).

You can easily observe this in numeric layout with dot/comma button and return button.

I am enclosing a screen with the problematic area circled.

Just for the record I am using Touch HD with 1.14.479.3 ROM version. I have Gyrator installed as well. Chances that this is user-specific problem however are not very big.

No issue on my X1 when in landscape as per picture.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kostis:
I have exactly the same problem with my touch hd and I suspect what causes it.

I will try to fix it and post the modified numeric skin.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SBS_:
That's a matter of opinion I guess. I think it makes more sense to have the button display what it will change to, not which keyboard you're currently at. You can fix that yourself however if you take a look at the layout files.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] qrzysztof:
You won't get anywhere by editing numeric layout (of course you can put the space there or redesign so that there is no button in this area - but this is not a solution but a go-around).

As I wrote this issue is independent of any specific skin which you can edit in txt file. The problem occurs in EVERY skin. But as in most language skins there is the space there - you don't notice it. As I wrote if you put the space there it works fine, cause the button is big.

I think this most probably caused by the fact that in landscape mode the keyboard overlaps the menu bar at the bottom of the screen.

Just for illustrating my point:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kostis:
This file fixes this bug working like a charm.

The problem occurs because underneath the button is the FNGKB button and windows somehow confuses the layers.

Administrators and skin developers please see this fix and replace it in the official version.

Also change all the skins and place the spacebar below as I did with the numeric layout attached here.

Hi there, Is anyone having a problem with this app on the Sony ericsson X1?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
That is true. I thought about that when I first read his post, but maybe he was writing other email addresses or entering other internet addresses that don't use the common .com, .net etc.

That's the beauty of FK - everyone can adjust it just they way he or she likes it. :)

Update: XL Skins for WQVGA

For those of you using my XL Skins for WQVGA, please see my original post here, and download the new zip file. The March 5 version, had bad .bmp files for the space bar, which resulted in a blank area (although it still worked as a space bar).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Sorry, I don't know how to fix your problem. I tried looking for a registry entry where you could turn those "HTC xT9" features on, but I didn't find one. Maybe someone else can find one (if there is one).

In terms of Fingerkeyboard, I just make skins, and so I am not much help when it comes to other types of problems.

I hope someone else here can help you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
I have been considering making an XL Skin for portrait mode. Over the weekend, I will have more time. You can keep checking my original post here for any update to my skins.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JLowe:
@Chris Cross

Great idea! :)

Is there any chance to disable the popup if you press a button? (hope I didn't miss sthg)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
There are a couple of ways, but probably the easiest way to do that is just to:

Go into the corresponding scheme color folder

Inside that folder, create a new folder and name it something like "pushed popup keys".

Now (in the original scheme folder) move all .bmp files that have the word "pushed" in them (should be 9 files) into the folder you created.

Fingerkeyboard will still try to show a pop-up, but since it won't find the files, it won't show you anything. Later on, you can place those files back in the correct folder if you want to see the pop-ups.

Needs Some Pointers... (Help)

Here is the problem... Cannot get past the Screen resolution error!

~I have never installed any FingerKeyboard App prior to version 2.0

~I have installed both versions for different screen (size and resolution) (Just in case...

~I have also installed the Disable T9 cab prior and after FingerKeyboard installs

~All the above with extra Resets just to make sure.

~Made sure I had the correct language (Eng)

~Also tried to delete all the languages that were not English

~Also tried to leave the English and German

~Also tried to install the App on SD Card and Main Memory

~Gone through all the files / folders & Registry and deleted FingerKeyboard related items.

~After cleaning up, did the above again with the exact same results

Are there any specific software apps that are known to cause this on a Kaiser?

Any one with AT&T, and has a Tilt (8925). Could you give some guidance with the install, would be great! (What steps you took to get the working install?)

Thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JLowe:
Thank you Chris Cross that works flawless!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RealGunman:
hey, jac

seems to be you're confronted with the same prob i described some posts/sites before. like me you're also using kaiser and so my suspicion, error is caused by kaiser itself, is getting more and more clearly.

chris cross is trying to find a solution,yet. hopefully it will work, because the keyb really rocks - as far as i can evaluate at the moment!!! :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jac:
RealGunman: Glad to hear I'm not loosing my mind....

BTW, The Full Error I'm getting is:

Skin Error: Resolution For Screen Size Not Found
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] qrzysztof:
They can do either one thing or another. The former would be preferable.

There is a third option as well. Make the menu bar visible like in version 1.4 with the keyboard displaying over it. There's not much of space saving if quite a large area is practically unusable.

Once again 3 solutions ordered by preference:

- identify the problem in the core programme code and fix it

- move the keyboard in landscape mode up so that the menu bar is visible, and the layers are not clashing

- redesign all affected skins so that there is either a spacebar or an empty space in the problematic area (weak, temporary solution)

Kaizer (TyTn II)

Hi!

I don't seem to get it to work. It's installed and I can see it in the list but when I'm trying to change it jumps back to the regulary keyboard. Sometimes I see a flash of fingerkeyboard in just a sec and then it's back to regulary keyboard again.

Have anyone of you got it to work with Kaizer ?

I have HyperDragonIV (4th Feb 2009) ROM

// Nadia
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RealGunman:
looks like this, right!?!

it's like i said: from my point of view the kaiser itself causes the prob(s) with keyb. and it seems it does not depend on the installed rom. you: AT&T, me: german vodafone...

hopefully there will be a solution for us in future!!!

nice weekend for all!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] artesea:
Why did you quote the first post? Completely pointless.

If you want the screen to rotate without opening the keyboard then map one of the softkeys (silver buttons on the phone) to Rotate Screen.

As to the other poster asking if this works on the X1. Yes, although if you bothered to read the whole thread or event the X1 section of xda you would have known this.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vanna:
One more thing

If you do a drag motion with your finguer or stylus on the keys it's ok (the mapping is ok). The problem only appears if you tap the keys.

I don't know if the following problem is already reported, but i also have some strange bug in landscape mode.

Sometimes long pressing a key doesn't work (the pop up key seems to appears/disappears X times very quickly).

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] aznguy:
wich one do i have to choose to install on my xperia? i have installed 2 different versions but both dont seem to work.. or i dont know how to activate fingerkeyboard.. Because after the installation and i reboot my device and try to sms someone it still come up with the normal windows keyboard. Any advice?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] synth:
I think I've found a problem ... if it's known please ignore ...

I tried only to use german layout ...

after switching to digits ... i can't go back to normal quertz-layout!

There's only a button to change language-layout but no button to get back to normal quertz- or querty-keyboard!

Landscape and Portrait ... in both the same problem.

Also it themes to be unavalable using english or german layout.

Great work ... only this "small" problem makes me using the normal keyboard.

Device: HTC Touch HD German

Rotation-Tool: ScreenRotate (rotation works great if I don't forget closing the keyboard)

Return to the digit keyboard

Hello,

First thanks for this great app. Much more convenient than the HTC keyboard. I love it and I only use this keyboard now.

I have a similar issue than Synth, if i change from text keyboard to digit, no problem i can come back with the ACTION.PrevLayout command. The issue comes when I am in digit keyboard and activating the "shift lock" button. In that case the keyboard is stuck is digit mode, the TEXTpl string changes to "123" and there is no way to go back to the text layout.

Another issue concerns if I have multiple keyboard with different size. I would like to have one text keyboard and another keyboard with only arrow navigation touches. I did the layouts but the keyboard doesn't resizes according to the "Fill 0 0 480 272 CSCHEME.BgColor" size.

Finally I have tried to find more documentation to configure the "skin-01-actions.txt" according to my needs. The SL:, VK:, KH: tags remains occult to me. Do you have any docs on this ?

Thanks again for your hard work.
