keyboard does not work

hi guys

great stuff you made!!! it rocks!!!

today i installed the qvga-cab on my kaiser, put the german lang-files into it and tried to use the keyboard after that. but...

...it didn't work! :mad:

first i got this error message

View attachment 163119

and in the configurtion tool the second tab is shown like this

so i'm not able to activate anything...

can you help me, please???

thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
As far as it looking a bit to the right - that's just a matter of changing the skin values. In my skins, I changed the location of keys, made them bigger, centered them etc... (see my signature).

As far as the "Send" and "Menu" buttons at the bottom disappearing.... I think THAT IS GREAT!!!! With other keyboards in landscape mode, where the last row of letters is directly above the "Send" button, you can accidentally press Send when you want to type one of those letters. The way it is now, you can write your message without the risk of sending it. Then, when you're done, just hide the keyboard and hit send. I prefer that a lot better.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
:) I'm glad my skin layouts could help. It makes it even more worth it to spend time creating skins, when others can benefit in some way from it.

Dutch layout

How about a Dutch version?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
What do you mean by "QW"?

Anyway, I made some changes for you in the skins below. They are my skin layouts (so they might differ from what you have) but with the language button replaced by ? and !!!, and with the period/comma changes you wanted.

I don't know how to create an auto period like on the Blackberry. But most of my punctuation keys have a space automatically added after the punctuation. So at least that saves you from pressing the space bar after typing a comma, period etc... :)

Try it out and let me know how it goes. I assume you already are using the skin without arrows at the bottom.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Hm, is it possible that you installed German layout files for WQVGA resolution? If this is the case, than that's the cause of your problem.

Skin files are resolution limited. It's not possible to use the same layout txt files in different resolutions - each has to be modified accordingly and designed for each resolution. That is why we couldn't offer more layouts for some resolutions beyond the 1-2 included. There was no time to make them.

Basically, you should remove the german skin files you installed additionally, preferably uninstal / reinstall the keyboard and see if it will work just with the default layouts.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Sorry to hear you still have problems with installing it :(

Unfortunately, this is pretty much as far as I can help you, and I don't think Exidler could do more without the logs.

I do however know that there are some applications causing problems with FingerKeyb, mostly other additional 3rd party SIP's. Do you have any installed? Because, if the sip_test is showing the keyboard, then it means it's working ok. So it has to be something else conflicting.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
I know this is a bit annoying, esp. if you want to leave some characters without 2nd key on long press.

One idea comes to my mind, altough I havent tried it:

- put a blank space instead of a character, and put NN instead of SC: action (NN means nothing will be printed on long press)

Something like this:

q, ,Q, ,	SC:q,NN,SC:Q,NN

Let me know if it works.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] s.schoenthaler:
The problem is, that if you use the "D-Pad FingerKeyboard" (i know the D-Pad here in the forum) you just see one line, the "D-Pad Line".

If you change to another layout of FingerKeyboard you also see just one line.

The question is, if it is possible to install FingerKeyboard twice. So that you can use one as original FingerKeyboard with a great desgin and the other one as D-Pad.

I like the Keyboard and want use it as my standard keyboard.

It would be nice, working with the HTC Touch HD, to have a second keyboard installed with only the navigation buttons. So i can simulate a DPad.

It is possible to configure the FingerKeyb as a DPad, but than i am not able to use it as a normal keyboard because of the hight.

As far as I know, someone already made a DPad with FingerKeyboard. There was a link in the old thread, I suggest you try searching the forums for this.

Will it work with normal FingerKeyb installed? I have no idea to be honest. My logic says it should work, but guess you'll just have to try it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pmgnet:
I think you are right again! Thanks so much! I definitely do have another SIP. I've got to figure out which one it is... It was someone else's keyboard, and it displays as "Compact QWERTY" and "FULL QWERTY".

I'll see if I can find out what it is, and how I might remove it.

Problem with LockmeLite resolved?

We are running into a problem with this great keyboard and a great locking application LockmeLite. This had been reported already in the previous version of FingerKeyb.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3297218&postcount=218

Has that been resolved??? Is there a workaround? Currently I am using Htcextfun and getting the stylus in and out to reset the keyboard but it's not optimal...

Um grande Obrigado para o pessoal do finger Keyboard 2 e para ti por teres incluído o PT.

If I remember correctly, someone already made Czech layout and posted it here. Search the thread.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Sorry, but I don't think it would be possible to install FingerKeyboard twice.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Try not to change any XT9 settings. Leave the boxes unticked. I believe that's what's causing the problem. I'm not sure, but I would say Toshiba probably isn't using same T9 as HTC.

Hi

first of all thank you for this big improvement in typing experience! Great keyboard in portrait and landscape mode.

I found a bug (perhaps something happening only on my device). After some time after a soft reset the option to "look up contacts to write an sms to" doesnt work anymore. I can typ in some letters, but there is no selection of avaliable contacts. After another softreset the option works again for some time. I didnt find the trigger for this strange event.

Does somebody else have this behaviour or a solution to it?

Hope there is one, cos without this option unfortunately this keyboard is not that useful to me.

Thanks for your advices!

Ascenca
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Well, as you can imagine, it's kindda strange that it works for a while and then doesn't work. Obviously, it's some 3rd app that's causing these problems.

You can try installing global T9 disable patch. It should force default WinMo Contact name and Word suggestions to show up always.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Lovetz:
I do not check t9 option when install keyb.

I solved my problem: unpack cab file, makes nessesary folders and manualy register dll file - like in 1.4 version. And now 2.0 works on my phone:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Try long press on a button and it will print whatever is above the character. For example, in english layout pressing "m" will get you the "?".
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
This is a very usefull tip for people who have had similar problems. I will put this in FAQ.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
You have installed the wrong versions my friend. Diamond is VGA, not QVGA or WVGA. Go to post #2 for correct version.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, we can't really provide support to things like this. Some applications simply conflict with each other. I would in fact assume this has more to do with LockmeLite, rather then FingerKeyb, or judging by the other installed software you have - it could be another app that's causing these problems.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Lovetz:
Thanks for your work.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Lovetz:
Rozenthal one more way to install cab file:

when window with options appear should press CANCEL and installation ends fine.

After that, when use fingerkeyb config application, after making changes and pressing OK error appear but all works fine.

Thanks for beautiful keyboard.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ascenca83:
Where can I find this patch? Didnt find it nowhere in the forum.

But that wouldnt be a good solution for me due I dont use the "word suggestion" option. Already disabled it under setting in Fingerkeyboard2.

Noob question.......I have a touch HD, and i installed thw wvga version; when i flip into landscape mode, i expect to see a layout similar to the one posted on the front page, buit instead, i get a different layout with the keys more spaced out..basically my layout is

Q W E R T THEN UP ARROW THEN Y I figured it would be QWERTY then up arrow..are there files i need to edit? thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pinos:
First off, great keyboard. Was looking for ages for a good one, and this one fit the bill :)

But how can i add special symbols? (not the ones alrdy there)

-P.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
It was brought to my attention that in the original LANDSCAPE digits skin the period/comma and "return" keys at the bottom don't work. I don't know if others are experiencing this as well. My HD also had that problem.

I played with the skin and saw that no matter what keys I placed in those locations, there was no response. I don't know how to fix that, but in the mean time, I moved a couple of keys around and placed keys that are not used as often in that location. Here is the skin file for those who want it.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
There is no skin just for symbols. You either have edit the skin file to include symbols you often use, or you have to create a skin just for symbols. Most skins have pretty the symbols you would commonly use.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RealGunman:
i tested the procedure also without changing lang files. but it's the same result! i don't know what the matter is...

NEW - XL Skins for big fingers

GERMAN - SPANISH - ENGLISH

NEW (March 4, 2009):

XL-Skins for big fingers!!! (landscape only)

I made skins in these three languages for people with big fingers. I call them the XL-Skins. :)

Things you MUST know before using these XL-Skins:

The language button has two functions. You can reverse them by editing the skin file if you prefer things the other way around.

Press = switch to numeric keyboard.

Press+Hold = switch to next language skin

The letter "m", if pressed+held will hide the keyboard. This is not working in "Shift" mode. I don't know why. So you just have to press+hold when the little "m" is showing (not when "M").

The space bar requires a new .bmp image that is 139 pixels wide. I have provided everything you need. Please see the "READ ME" file for instructions.

See samples below.

To download, click the link in my signature. It will take you to my original post, where I keep the latest updates.

Miss this keyboard and especially ChrisCross' German skins on the new Manila, where none of the non-HTC keyboards is working so far. Not that the new HTC keyboard is all bad, but would be great if the developers here see a "market" in the future Manila, an area not so crowded with alternative keyboards as in the old Manila environment. Just an idea for 3.0... :-)

To unregister the old version you said to "Copy Fingerkeyb_register.exe to the phone, run it and unregister keyboard." Were would I find Fingerkeyb_register.exe to copy from? This is probably a dumb question but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks for the help and congrats on the new release! Looking forward to being able to use it on my touch HD!

Never mind the question, I figured it out :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
If you had any of the previous versions, then inside your FingerKeyb folder in /Program Files/ you should have Fingerkeyb_register.exe, or Register.exe, depending on from wich version you're upgrading. Run it, select Unregister, soft-reset and proceed with normal intallation.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Shetlander:
Loved the old keyboard, loving the new one.

Simple question, on the black keyboard with red space bar, is it possible to change it to the htc green similar to the glossy version.

The question is, if it is possible to install FingerKeyboard twice. So that you can use one as original FingerKeyboard with a great desgin and the other one as D-Pad.

If I understand right, it's possible to solve the problem using an other language skin (modified) like second keyboard?

Tried again on Dutty 2.1, does not work for me - just get "Error" message instead of keyboard.

Update: Same problem with Laurentius V8, until I also activated English next to German skin - then the keyboard loads, and I can switch to German.

One problem left: Closing the portrait skin before switching to landscape mode does not help to achieve landscape skin, the portrait one also shows in landscape. Any solution?

german layout system!

Ok, i wrangled a bit with your proggi Rozenthal and i must say it is for sure great!!

And i have taken my own aproach at getting a germaniced wqvga i900 Omnia layout.

So here is my attempt. I deleted ALL other languagesets, couse i dont need them. English can be written with a german keyboard (what i do now) and i can't speak any other... :)

This leaves me with a language-change button that has now use... wait i can make a new action and a new layout and have... right: a way to type the special german characters easy.

Also i changed some button, especialy the .ru button was replaced with my name. So if you want your name to be spelled out when hitting button "l" replace it accordingly :D

So: either you backup all the files that my package overwrites or you leave them to die, your choice :)

Here is what you get:
