Sneak preview :)

Sneak preview for next version :)

Don't ask when, because I don't know yet. When it's done, we'll update!

This is what people asked for in this thread or privately, and what Exidler said about it...

>>>>>>> SUGGESTIONS: <<<<<<<<<

- can click sound be optional in Config tool?

+ ok

- can press delay time be changeable in Config tool?

+ ok

- changing the Backspace function in CAPS (removing the option to delete whole text, make it same as in small caps mode - many requested this)

+ ok

- can you make undo option somewhere on Keyboard?

+ will add to eng and rus :)

and to global actions

- make Chldwin action optional in config tool (separate for Landscape and Portrait). This would enable user to select if they want the bottom menu bar from WinMo displayed, or covered by the FingerKeyboard2.

+ ok

- Could you please add a small vibration to each keypress? It would be the best SIP then!

+ ok

There is also a Bug section, but I'll hold from any news on that. I'll just say that many of the most reported bugs will be fixed, or addressed in some way.

Fingerkeyboard2 on Omnia

Looking at some pictures of the Fingerkeyboard2, it seems I'm missing the period key on landscape. What can I do to fix that?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Welcome to forum.

But please read and search the thread before posting!!!!!!! Your question has been asked and answered many times, so I won't take the time to go into detail.

You have to edit the skin file yourself. It is really easy.

instead of SS:3.ru you need SS:6.co.uk

and where you see ru change it to whatever you want the key to show - for example uk
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
What skin are you using? Many of the original skins don't include that button. If you want that button, you can add it yourself by editing the skin file or you can try my skins. I believe all of my skin layouts have it. See my signature for link.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] miggymini:
^^ Hey I appreciate you responding Chris. I actually just ran into your skin and I am attempting to install them right now. However It looks like I'm having some trouble getting them to show up. What's happing is that I follow your instructions with in the read me file and the skin doesn't appear to change. Also I was just curious on how do you add a button to the keyboard? If you can direct me some where to find that information that would be great. I appreciate your help.

Edit: ^^; Actually I just changed it with the XL button haha. Thanks though. Great skin!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kuwait:
Vibration must have check box in the configuration menu. Many of us use already programs that vibrate on each press of the screen. So this feature should be possible to switch of if necessary.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jwy2k2:
Great keyboard! Thank you, it's my favorite.

I don't know if it's been suggested yet but what about adding gestures like the default WM keyboard has: caps, space, enter, backspace
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] aznguy:
any help please @.@
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] miggymini:
Thank you that was very helpful! I just had some questions, I'm attempting to change American Emotes in the script and replace them with Japanese Emotes and two things occur. One thing that takes place is that the Space key is no longer visible however, it's still click able. The other thing i noticed if i was to insert (^_^) into the script only (^ displays when typed on the keyboard, however if i entered :3 that displays. Any thoughts? I apologize if I'm being to much of a noob at the moment... ^^; This is your XL script that i was editing. I haven't touched the stocked keyboard.

Edit: the space bar is still gone even with the original script.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] selice:
hey guys, thanks heaps for awesome keyboard.

is there a thread to report bugs tho?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] great:
I downloaded your eng skin and finally i got the full layout on landscape with the dot button and the other buttons missing...thank you for your skin.

I noticed on your screenshot over the "l" button you have the "!!!" which i use alot as well but on my phone i don't see that. How can i add it ?

Also the ":" is above on two buttons, the "m" and over the "c" as well

Can i change the "c" above and make it "..." instead of ":"

I just can figure out how to work the skin file :(

many thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
You can edit skin files to your liking. See my signature for a tutorial.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] miggymini:
Thank you Chris you've been a huge help. I do have one thing I still don't quite understand. When I edit the script to replace the American Emotes with Japanese ones the characters seem to get cut off on different ones. For example with "(^_^)" the characters show up as "(^" any thoughts?

Edit: I think it's the underscore that does it... do you agree? XD
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] artesea:
So you've installed the WGVA version (you really should know what size screen your phone has if you are surfing these board), but have you set FingerKeyb as your SIP (keyboard)???
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] miggymini:
Actually it Looks like it's not the underscore at all. it's the amount of space the quick text takes up. How would i fix that? @_@
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SBS_:
You fix it by putting the amount of characters needed after the ":" at SS:.

So if you have 5 characters (like in your example) just put

SS:5(^_^)

and that should work
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Follow the advice form SBS_ and see if that fixes your problem with the smileys. Using SC: and SS: is explained in my tutorial too.

As far as the space bar:

Did you copy my .bmp files into each corresponding scheme color folder? It sounds like you did not do that, and that is why the keyboard does not find the image for the space bar. The code in the skin file would still make it work - just like you are describing.

Did you read the READ ME file included in the skin zip file? It explains everything as well.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] miggymini:
No, I have read the read me file and followed the instructions to a T. Simply installing the original script fixes the issue... which doesn't help too much with wanting to customize the Emotes. Unless I need to recopy the those files with each change I made, which wouldn't make much sense. Sorry, Chris I did overlook the instructions in your tutorial regarding the SS but thanks SBS_ for your explanation i really appreciate it!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] flywithme:
I encountered similar problem at first.

What i did is to open the respective skin.txt with notepad, save it as UNICODE.

Then transfer it back to the phone.

It works for me now, not sure about yours =)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
So if you use my skin and copy both the skin and types files (both are txt files) and you copy the .bmp images into the corresponding folders.... do you still have a problem with the space bar not showing?

I'm still confused as to exactly what problem (or problems) you still have.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jpl69:
Can't we have diferent height layouts? For istance a a big for letters\numbers and a small just for Dpad, i'm trying to do it but the screen just don't refresh, keeping the height original.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] flywithme:
yes you can!

i changed my layout to 480x291, i removed the direction button so i can view more of the screen.

Find the line in language.txt:

and find the line in types.txt:

Change both XXX to the height you want.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
I think he means being able to quickly switch between the normal keyboard and then a smaller one with just arrows - then back to the normal sized one.

It would be like switching through different languages, but with them all being a different size. I thought about that too. That would be a nice option, but I don't think it would work (or at least not yet) because I believe the types.txt file is the one that defines the size. But I could be wrong. I'll play around with it tomorrow and see.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] miggymini:
I agree it's really confusing. But, What had occurred is I edited your script and entered in the text I wanted. Then when i tested the keyboard the space bar graphic was gone. However, before then it was there it only disappeared after i had edited the script. The only theory I have is that I had more characters then what the SS# allowed and it threw off the space bar graphic... but that seems unlikely... i guess. T__T

Edit: I believe my theory was correct... or at least it was some crazy ass fluke. Thanks Chris for all your help you've been great man!

Dear bros,

Care to advise does FingerKeyboard 2 support chinese text input???:confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] multan:
FingerKeyboard 2 is more for alphabet input, in the different languages.

For chinese input, you can consider looking at ZTA4 (freeware) or CE-Star (shareware)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] brans0n:
Hey bro Multan..Once again thank u for the info :)

Yes I think this keyboard dont really suit my needs as I need to use chinese

text input sometime due to work issue. Thank u so much bro..I will look out for zta4 keyboard :)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gdem3685:
Is there a way to make backspase working like this by default:

1)Single press = erase 1 letter

2)long press = erase 1 word and continue erasing word by word??

The way it is now i have to press it again for each word to erase the whole text.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
The SS: number allows for a ton of characters to be typed, so I'm sure that was not the problem. I tried what you want on my keyboard to see if the space bar disappears, and it did not. If I put a lot of text, it just writes it over the space bar, but the space bar did not disappear.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] texgilas:
Italian version in Toshiba G900 (original ROM), don't work. Why ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
It will be, don't worry :)

All of the new features will actually be highly customizable! For example, users will be able to select how they want Backspace to behave in small caps, and caps lock, or how long they want the vibration feedback to last etc.

I am testing the latest Exidler's version now and it works very good.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] great:
ok it work perfectly, thank you!

Is there any way that the preview button pop-up to be on the top center of the keyboard like the resco one ??

Los archivos en ese post son solo para wvga. Yo tengo planeado hacer unos teclados para vga en Español, pero será la semana que viene, porque en este momento no tengo tiempo. Puede que alguien ya lo haya hecho, así es que busca en el foro haber si los hay.

Si no encuentras nada, chequea dentro de unos dias en el enlace de mi firma. Allá pongo todos los enlaces para los teclados que hago.

Can someone guide me on which CAB should be installed in order to use it on Treo Pro 320x320 ?

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] utak3r:
OK, done it :)

Already learnt those actions, it's really highly configurable.

So, here's a new version of the polish qvga layout.

the last key works like this:

1. Press: go to the line's beginning

2. Hold: select to the line's beginning

3. CAPS press: go to the text's beginning

4. CAPS hold: select to the text's beginning

if someone wants this last action, here goes its code:

Action Home	VK:0:0x24,OS:3:VK:0004:0x10:VK:0:0x24:VK:0006:0x10,OS:3:VK:0004:0x11:VK:0:0x24:VK:0006:0x11,OS:5:VK:0004:0x11:VK:0004:0x10:VK:0:0x24:VK:0006:0x10:VK:0006:0x11

# problem?

Hi,

This is maybe the best keyboard I have ever used!

Excuse if mentioned in an earlier post, but it seems to be an issue with the # symbol. When in caps mode, you long press the letter Q, ! symbol is getting typed instead of # .

Does anyone have the same problem?

thank you,

OK, here's the CAB file for the polish QVGA version - both portrait and landscape layouts are included. The newest version is always --> here <--, so check it out from time to time, as it's still evolving :)

​
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] s.schoenthaler:
I have the same problem. i think it is like i wrote in #403. the hight of the keyboard is defined in "types.txt". all languages and so all keyboad-"shapes" define there hight from "types.txt".

a possible solution in the next version could be to define the hight of the keyboard in the "language.txt" file or to define a spezific "types.txt" for each language. if there would be a language specific "types.txt" the hight of the keyboard would be defined in this file. If not in the normal "types.txt" file.

please implement that in the new version. it would be perfect.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
I agree. It would be nice to design a layout that is not dependent on one single set size for the keyboard.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MisterFixit:
I've developed something very like this.

I don't know how to do screenshots or upload txt files though.

Help?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
To do screenshots, you can use any of these programs:

MyMobiler is very good. You take the snapshots via your PC. It can also record it as video.

PocketScreen is also good. You take the snapshots without the need of a PC.

Shake and Save - shake your HD to save the screen capture.

To attach files to a post use the paper-clip icon to enter a window that will allow you to upload the file(s). If you don't see one, then go to your profile's options page (here) and at the very bottom (under miscellaneous options) set it to "full wysiwyg". Or if you use the quick response box at the bottom of this page, select "Go Advanced".

I updated my skins for Fingerkeyboard2

The updates include changes in layout, fixes to a couple of issues, and a bit more user-friendly approach. Of course, you can edit them yourself to customize them just the way you like them.

My skin layouts include German, English and Spanish:

Normal size keys - portrait and landscape - all 3 languages - WVGA.

XL-Skins - landscape for big fingers - all 3 languages - WVGA, WQVGA, QVGA.

I can only test skins on WVGA, but with the help of members, I receive feedback from other resolutions. If you find a problem, please let me know so I can fix it.

I am working on VGA skins, and a couple of other ideas I've been playing with. I'll keep everyone updated. You can always check the link in my signature to go to the newest updates.

Changing the keys

Hi,

I tried changing the key text in the ENG PORTRAIT text file...eg. Shift+Q had ! instead of #...so changed that

but then when I re-ran the keyboard it displayed only two keys and greyed out rest...

can anyone help me out thr pls

You have made a mistake in the edit. Possibly an odd character near the !
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sriramkrishnan06:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] collapsibletank:
Great stuff! Just what I was after. SLlightly odd that the number keyboard does not have a key to return to ABC. (En does it admittedly.)

Also, seems odd to include emoticons at the expense of handy characters such as "&". ??

Lovely though.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
What do you mean about 123 not having a return key to ABC? Just press the language swap icon and you'll go back to ABC.

As for the "&", there are a few common characters missing in default english layout. The new layout in next version will have this fixed, as well as some new things added!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] I3INARY:
Make that +1. I love the keyboard and the great level of customisation. Yet if we could change the size of the keyboard per language layout, it would make it absolutely perfect.

Especially as Touch HD User without D-Pad it would be handy to be able to switch quickly between a full sized keyboard and a small keyboard containing only the directional keys.

Wont Launch

I can succesfully install the cab file but when I try to launch the keyboard using any app (sms, email, opera, etc...) I just get a beep, and then my phone freezes requiring me to do a soft reset. I have even soft reset the phone directly after installing it and before attempting to use it to make sure that wasnt an issue. I can launch the configuration menu from the programs menu so i believe the app installed correctly.

I have uninstalled it and tried to do the unregister thing by using the register.exe file and there seems to be no trace of the installation after I uninstall because the register.exe app can find nothing. There are no folders left in the programs folder for fingerkeyboard so I assume that the uninstalls are going over pretty well.

I am using a Sprint touch pro, stock rom.

And the file I am installing is the FingerKeyb-2.0-WVGA.cab

Any help?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Did you install the VGA skin txt files from post #2, as instructed?

Thank you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Hi, we have had this reported a few times, but it seems only some users are affected by this. Does this happen on all language layouts?

I could not reproduce this on my Touch HD, and neither could Exidler. It works normally here. However, the new Exidler's .dll file that we're currently testing should address these and similar issues, so if you can't figure out what's wrong, just wait for the new version. I believe it should be available in a week or two.

Oh, and new version should also fix a bug in Opera that made backspace key function incorrectly in address bar input area.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] FreePour:
Ok, so i went to the VGA thread linked in one of the earlier posts and followed those instruction. Now everything works beautifully.

It seems I didnt understand the difference between WVGA and VGA. Honestly Im still not sure of the difference. Thats for anohter day though.

Keep up the great work and thanks for the help!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Well,

WVGA = 800 x 480 pixel

VGA = 600 x 480 pixel

These are different screen resolutions, so VGA devices need different skin layouts!

Anyways, glad you fixed the problem! Enjoy the FKBD2!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Clearly you didn't edit in notepad, but in some other text editing software. Probably the one on the phone.

The layout skins need to be saved in unicode or UTF8. If you save them in ASCI or something else, then you will get the problem you described.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RealGunman:
that's me again...

@rozenthal

i saw you made difference between vga and wvga and also between qvga and wqvga. that's why my question is which install-cab of fingerkeyb i have to use for kaiser? qvga or wqvga?

i'm also using s2u2 and there are only 2 versions of install-cab available by a_c: qvga/wqvga and vga/wvga. that's why i thought it's same procedure with fingerkeyb-install-cabs...

may be that's the error why fingerkeyb didn't work on my kaiser up to now...
