edit layout txt files

can someone please explain to me how to edit layout txt files so I am able to alter the configuration of the keyboard? for example replace the $ symbol with £.

I've tried replacing the symbols in the txt file in the skins folder within program files within my device (under the eng language I am using) but still the symbols are the same.

thanks

My German, English and Spanish skins - Portrait

Portrait + Landscape: GERMAN - ENGLISH - SPANISH

I have been working on these three languages to fit my liking.

[Erased old information]

EDIT:

I removed the attached files because I made a new updated version of all three languages (all with portrait and landscape skins). You can see the new post here.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
If for example:

Then blue defines how the key is labeled and red defines what the key types. (of course without the ...........)

SC: means single character

SS: is used to type a string of characters

SS:2 means that TWO characters will be typed.

SS:2hi would type hi

SS:4.com would type .com

After you make your changes, exit the keyboard then reload the keyboard. The changes should now take effect.

The keys do not vibrate with TouchResponse and wrong in landscape (same dimension of portrait).

There is now a debug logger in post #3 with instructions on how to use it.

If you have repeated problems, and none of the suggested tips worked for you, please check it out and send us the logs!

I know it's a bit of a hassle, but we seriously can't help you more unless we know what's wrong. The logs are the fastest way for Exidler to detect the problems and try to solve them.

Also, about the german landscape layout - apparently it's gone missing from the installation! I'll try to see if we even received it from our beta testers, need to go through a lot of e-mails now :/ If the guy who made german layout is reading this, please resend me the landscape file again.

Touch response work fine on mine, I have vibrating on just the keyboard. Do you have the latest version?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fotone:
Yes, i have TouchResponse 0.3.2 and work fine with EzInput 2.0 keyboard.

Touch response work fine with fingerkey 1.4!

Edit.

The problem can be EzInput 2.0?. I saw that the keys Ezinput vibrate even without TouchResponse.

Edit2

The problem is EzInput 2.0. I uninstalled Touchresponse -> soft rest -> TouchResponse installed.

I start FingerKeyboard and vibration work.

I EzInput start and after FingerKeyboard and vibration functions not again!

Edit3

In the end we have managed to remove the EzInput 2.0 and reinstall the standard keyboards Touch HD.

There was a process (the one that makes out the list of tatiere) in memory and that did not allow the completion of the installation.

Identified and eliminated the process with SKTools subsequent installation is successful.

About the process is complete SIPGT_app.exe.

FingerKeyboard 2.0 now has taken to vibrate.

I would like to increase the size of the letters. But if I do that the lower and upper letters overlap each other little bit. Hence I would like to move the lower letters down and upper letters up. How to do that? Which file is stating the centre position of each letter.

Primary problem: only numbers in landscape if I use german as default if I use english as default it wont switch to german in landscape

Third Pary app to rotate: Mobile Magiv 0.9.7.19197

ah okay I just read, that the german landscape was forgotten :)

That is OK :-) For me the grey skins are more than enough. I was just reporting the possible bug.

More annoying is that I can not turn on the auto suggesting feature, it is "greyed out" (or "yellowed out", see the screenshot:

For Polish users, I am including files that I just made to add the letters "ś" and "Ś" - hope it helps. They are working fine for me:

[June 14, 2009] UPDATED: German, Spanish, English - Portrait and Landscape skins

GERMAN - SPANISH - ENGLISH

Skins by ChrisCross

Normal size portrait AND landscape modes !!!

These are my original skins. They have normal size keys, arrows, and they fill the whole keyboard (no blank areas).

​

XL versions (landscape only) available for big fingers: WVGA and WQVGA and QVGA!!!

I made skins in these three languages for people with big fingers. I call them the XL-Skins. :) Please see the READ ME file in the zip for instructions. You have to copy the .bmp pictures of the space bar into the appropriate scheme folder in order for it to work.
​

In every .txt file, there is a date so people know which ones are the latest versions.

NEWS (June 14, 2009):

All new skins for WVGA

I updated my WVGA skins to include features supported in Fingerkeyboard 2.1. I have not had time to update other resolutions. They will still work, but they won't have some of the new FK 2.1 features. When I get a chance, I'll update those as well.

NEWS (March 9, 2009 - 22:40):

XL-Skins for QVGA - beta version

Big Thanks to: Mc-Fly2009 for testing the skin and reporting bugs!!!

I finished the XL Skins for QVGA in German, English and Spanish. Mc-Fly2009 has been helping me test these, since I can't test QVGA. I thought I would open it up to others to help test these skins to make sure that they are working properly.

NEW (March 9, 2009 - 22:40):

XL-Skins for WQVGA

Big Thanks to: eazydee28 for testing the skin and reporting bugs!!!

Update 2:

I rearranged some buttons to help solve some issues with minimizing and with switching between layouts. Note that the "language button" can switch to the numbers pad or to the next layout depending on whether or not you use Shift.

Update 1:

FIXED - Problem with the space bar picture

FIXED - The B-key, so that it types what it shows

*********************************************************

These are my newly updated screenshots [June 14, 2009]. They match the newly updated WVGA skins. Other resolutions have not been updated yet. For details about what characters are included in each language, just download the zip file with the .txt files and try them out.

If there are any mistakes, let me know.

Downloads: For the latest version, see date on zip files.

NOTE: The letters in the screenshots look bigger than they really are. In reality they don't overlap!!!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Avalun:
Hi Chris Cross,

I overwrote the files, soft resetted but I still have only the numbers in landscape mode.

Do you have any suggestions?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Great work mate! I have put a link to your post in FAQ and we'll make sure to include full German support in next cab.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
It's just a joke :)

Maybe you can find someone from Portugal who could make a language layout, if you don't know how to.

If you have some Portuguese forum or news group that deals with PDA devices, maybe you could post a link to this thread and ask people to make a layout?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Just an idea, but did you maybe use the SIP change tool? Perhaps that's why it's not registering the new layouts?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kayahah:
Very good work with this one i love it!

I made 2 different swedish alternatives to use, since ppl was asking for it and the one already given out here didnt work.

SW2 Got åäö as standalone buttons from the danish interface and

SWE Got åäö integrated in j=å k=ä l=ö since i preferd the english one for faster typing :)

Hope its helpfull for someone atleast :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Avalun:
Hi,

I didn't use any 3rd party sip-change tools, i just overwrote the files.

Now I renamed the files:

skin-02-wvga-land-06-ger.txt

and

skin-02-wvga-port-06-ger.txt

to:

skin-02-wvga-land-01-eng.txt

and

skin-02-wvga-port-01_eng.txt

and overwrote the english files, but the result is that I can't open

the keyboard in landspape in english mode

next step: change standardkeyboard in the file: skin-01-global.txt

line: DefaultLayout from ger to eng -> soft reset

now it works!

So for all who have problems look if you have the StandardLayout set to eng.

I suggest after that you stop touching in the configs of fingerkeyb :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] catnono:
My landsacpe mode displays with fully occupied keys now after using the skin files of Chris Cross. But I still need to minimize and then show the keyboard to make it appear properly after changing to landscape mode.

Guys, thanks for your hard work
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Lazpa Cllis:
Yes, i think i can do that, Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Reporting a bug

Are other people experiencing this as well?

In landscape mode, there is a problem with Action.NextLayout:

I cannot switch from one language to another. The only language that will appear in landscape mode is English and the "TEXTnl" shows EN instead of showing one of the other languages I have (DE or ES).

I can switch between English and Numbers fine.

If I switch the default language in the global.txt file to another one other than English, then the only thing that will show in landscape mode are the numbers (digit keyboard).

In portrait mode every works fine.

Phone: HTC Touch HD

German ROM 1.14.407.3

Rotating software: I have tested it with gsen and with ChangeScreen, and the problem is still there.

I've tried everything I can think of (soft-reset several times) but I still have that problem.

I tried the Debug.dll instructions in post#3, but I was not able to rename the log file because "another process has locked a portion of the file".

The strange thing is that during the debugging process, I DID NOT have the problem mentioned above. So, could it be a problem with the original FingerKeyb.dll file?

********************

SOLUTION UPDATE:

After using the debug and then returning to the original FingerKeyb.dll file, all was working fine. After that, I also updated my German skin file because of an improperly labeled skin. The new zip file is located in post 156

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bonesy:
most excellent!Why does the glossy one say portrait only?it works fine for me in landscape?!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Avalun:
I only can switch the languages if I have the main Layout in english, if I use standard german the landscape keyboard wont work, and after the file renaming stuff, it even wont open. So now I have to use english and need to switch to german every time. Weird is that the english layout is still english, even I overwrote the english files with my german files.... weird weird weird....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Strange indeed. Can you send me at least that log file that got generated?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Sorry Avalun,

I should have made it clearer that I did not fix the problem in landscape mode. I simply found away around it to test the skins that I was making.

As mentioned earlier, the only skin file I can see in landscape is the english one. While testing other language skins, I simple pasted all the test into the english skin file since I new that file would be read.

So far, there seem to be two problems with landscape:

1. The portrait skin is displayed: This can be avoided for now, by minimizing the keyboard and then bring it up again.

2. Unable to switch languages in landscape: I have not figured out how to fix this. Oddly enough, while replacing the dll file with the debug dll file, it all worked fine. So it appears to be a problem with the original FingerKeyb.dll file.

Update: The second problem was fixed. See bottom of this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3400939&postcount=156
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
@Rozenthal:

Thanks. :)

Could you also include the full Spanish support in the next cab? I did not see it in this cab, and that is why I made a skin for it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: There was a mistake in my German landscape skin from post 156. I already updated the zip file there. I had not noticed that in the skin file, I had German labeled as "eng" and "EN". If you downloaded the version from March 1 at 20:00, then please download the new one (March 1, 21:50).

Here is a link to the new zip file in post 156. If link does not work, just go to that post to download the newest file.

hey experts i m using the new pointui home 2 with the latest build verison 2.0.18 b n m enjoying it alot as its highly customizable..can any of us here build a ROM wid Home2 Replacing our Today ?

if it can be done then i think we can cut down the RAM Home2 uses as a Standalone Plugin .. :)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
No we can't. As of now, there are two things to not considering Home 2 cooking with ROM:

1. Its development is in early stage and updates are and will come fast. Cooking home 2 in ROM will hamper the updating process.

2. There is no difference in RAM usage whether you cook it or not. The only difference is Phone memory usage (which is not a concern as Home 2 can be installed on SD Card) and speed (ya, this would be affected significantly.)

So wait for some time, and maybe someone will do it, it could be me also, who knows? :D

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Antubis:
First, what's your operator ?

For the splash screen, just try searching "<operator name> splash".

Then, have a look here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=367370

It explain how to make a simple picture become a splash screen.

But remember there are

2

splashes on the Niki startup : replacing only one won't give you the expected result...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] dllngr:
as far as i know on software and warranty on hardware are two different things. By setting HardSPL and flashing a new rom you only lose the software warranty, not the warranty on the hardware part (as far as the damaged hardware doesnt result from your software changes...).

As the new rom cant have effected your slide warranty should be no problem, even with hardspl, a custom rom and the most stupid bootscreens possible...

(just something i read on another board... you might try asking for some legal guidance on one of the general boards here at xda-devs)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
From radio reports of the phone sellers here, they will try everything under the sun not to honour a warranty. If anything is amiss, they will blame it, and either not repair the phone, or give you the runaround. You may still get it fixed in the end, but not after a lot of cursing/swearing/wasted time, not to mention phone being unavailable for extended period.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] muuh27:
Thank you all, yes i think i should try to restablish the original setting, by i can't remember what was my first splash screen, now after having set the original rom i have:

- the HTC animated gif

- the windows mobile screen

So two questions :

- what is the original first screen? is it the operator one (bouygues telecom) or just a black screen with info of the system?

Thank you
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Antubis:
For Bouygues, it's very simple since they let the original french ROM without any customisation.

Try to find the original spalsh screen from HTC on the forum and flash it. If you don't find, I may still have it somewhere on my HD...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] muuh27:
hi antubis,

Thanx for the tip, but i don't remember what was the original splash (now there's the htc animated one, and the WM one(the green)). Is there one before? I'm quite lost because my phone really don't work anymore, a niki without the touch screen is really lame!!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Antubis:
