The program is not showing up in the Settings-System-Remove Programs list (I promise I looked like 12 times). If I try installing any of the new versions 2.1x (I want the one with arrows) one of two things will happen. 1- It will look like it is installing and then it quickly goes to the "installation unsuccessful" menu. 2-the message "Finger Keyboard must be removed before installing new version" shows up, I hit ok and it goes to the "installation unsuccessful" screen. Funny thing is the program is actually working fine, the customization menu and everything. Sooo confused! I have a Fuze by the way. Thanks in advance.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cincy1020:
Hi:

Okay, one more dummy question :o

What file do I edit to change the predefined text (such as meeting is cancelled, etc...)? By the way that is a GREAT feature!!

Thanks again!

EDIT: Found it :)

EDIT 2: I noticed in the predictive text file, there are 30 lines. I only have 24 available, is there a way to access the rest of the text lines? I tried the shift key, bit that didn't seem to do anything.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] omniwolf:
what do you mean click register? what screen am i on to click register?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] denist:
Thanks Giannis. I'll be needing the italian layout, so I will wait a new release for downloading.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
@dkobran

really weird..but if its working there is no harm :P if you want to remove you can do it manually too..

@omniwolf:

Navigate to program files\fingerkeyb

There should be an exe called register. Click on it..By answering No in the prompt, the keyboard is unregistered. You can afterwards delete the whole fingerkeyb folder

@emersonvier

please read the FAQ

@cincy

ah, i see

innitially i had a version that had 30 buttons thats why you see this..Soon i will adjust it though so that you have access to 48 texts in total

@lucas johny

if you mean have the buttons on a different layout, yes it is possible and i have it in mind but i wont do it yet..(if you mean gestures, i dont think it will happen)

The reason is that the new layout will appear on the language button..so it would become messy..

i asked exilder to implement an "ignore" function to make some layouts not appear on the language buttons.

I have many great ideas if such a thing could be done...

One of them is have a txt layout for every language for example
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cincy1020:
Great!!

Thanks so much for this amazing skin!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] anubis.genix:
is there a way to let finger keyboard switch to another keyboard like touch keyboard instead of the default one? i'd like to know if there's the possibility to reassign the buttons in location and height and width...

your're doing a great job mate ... keep it up :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
open the actions skin

Action KbdButton	KH,CS:default

i am NOT sure if this will work but you can try changing the "default" to the name of the sip you want..once again i have no idea if this will work

as about reassigning the buttons it is possible

read the doc about skin in your finger keyboard folder and you will undderstand how it works

then you can edit the language layouts to how you like them
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BlazerRazor:
Very nice keyboard, I really appreciate this creation!

I use the danish layout and I stumbled upon a tiny bug: key K and L are mapped incorrectly. K is J and L is K. I have corrected this little bug and I have included the "skin-02-vga-port-12-dan.txt" keyboard layout file with this post. You just need to replace it with the old one in "\Program files\FingerKeyb\Skins".

Again, thanks for this lovely application!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
thanx..i will update it..

version .408 is almost done and its worth updating ;)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] roisagi:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] h-guy:
hi, that's a great keyboard, thanks. i have a problem tho. the default skin never changes here even though i change the skin name in options. am i missing something here?

h.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] roisagi:
how can i edit predefined text?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rast62:
Same problem here. I try do edit the predefined text with some german phrases. I open the skin-01-predtxt.txt and overwrite the text. If I save the skin-01-predtxt.txt and start again the keyboard. Some changes working, but the most not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mike1986.:
Thanks for fixing the "ś" letter :) Anyway, I have one questions:

Why the TXT button is visible on the keyboard even if the TXT text is disabled in the config tool? Is it possible to remove it? There will be more space for "space" button :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] luckyuser:
Thanks for the reply!

When I am wrong please correct me!

I can't install that new arrow Version 2.1.408 on my Blackstone because its a VGA version, and there is no development for a WVGA version with arrows in the future?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
i seriously dont see the problem...is it so hard to open the config tool and enable it?lol

its under your programs list..

It is possible to remove it but you would have to do that yourself..i find it quite important :P

to edit predefined text

open skin-01-predtxt.txt

EXAMPLE:

CScheme txt1	Hi!

Action txt1	SS:160Hi there!

The first line represents the DISPLAY TEXT. Note that you cannot have words seperated from each other on the display name (thats why i used "..." often)

The second line represents the text

160 is the number of characters.i put 160 there as it was way above what i needed..if i put 5 though, only the first 5 characters would appear (so "Hi th" instead of "Hi there!")

Make sure the number is present though otherwise nothing will happen!

@h-guy

try changing sip again..So click on the arrow and reopen FK2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] BlazerRazor:
Just a quicky Giannis86. I installed your new version. The L Key in danish layout is in uppercase although you type it as lowercase.

Again, great work! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Hojlind:
my danish layout just shows the "l" as a k and the "k" as a j and the j is just j. just so you know :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
@blazer

lol i changed it cause i thought it was wrong...im in the train now so i cant fix it now..

@hojlind

this is what me and blazed have been talking about (previous page..)

it has already been fixed in the new version
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] polstein:
weird *other* audio problem

posted on main thread, but since I see Giannis being so active here I'm going to post it here as well. Heeelp this problem makes it unusable.

---

I've been trying to read all the threads on this forum (and others) - and haven't seen anyone else post about it, so I can only assume I have something funky on my phone.

When I click any key, I get a chirp sound. This isn't the normal key tapping sound that can be disabled via options and modifying the txt file & removing the 1 line doesn't help..

As near as I can tell via Wisbar, a small program of some sort is launching every time I hit a letter and the sounds I'm hearing is the same sound as if I opened any program & closed it real quick. Except in this case it's like a program opens & closes every time I hit a key.

Any ideas? If I missed someone post about this (and an answer) I apologize in advance.

--

Using FingerKeyb-2.1.408 VGA by Giannis86.cab. BTW, can't seem to get TXT button to work yet either, but I figure one problem at a time. Thinking about doing a backup, hard reset, reinstall to see if the problem goes away.

========

EDIT:

Copied my startup folder to a backup & wiped it out. Problem went away, I *think* it might be Wisbar. I'll check their settings for an exclude or something. Anyone else using Wisbar advance?

(no difference for the TXT button not doing anything for me)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
i havent heard of that problem before..let me know if it persists..i think however that exidler is the best person to refer to for that matter..

as aboutTXT, open the config and tick predtxt..click apply and your done

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] epiphone:
Can there be a phone keypad version of this excellent keyboard?

somehow the full querty slows me down think I am too used to the phone keyboard layout, anyways great work here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] PierreDiamond:
Yes - I had the same effekt, because of no spaces are allowed for CScheme-Strings.

@rast62: One German example text in attachment (without ä,ö,ü,... )

But: It doesn't work in skin...predtxt.txt for some common german letters like ä,ö,ü,ß - sometimes they won't be displayed in the text - sometimes they are not correct parsed and the Buttons are empty.

One question: Is there a possibility to toggle on and off the Arrows-Line, when you need some more space on screen while typing?

And @Gianni: GREAT WORK!!! Really the best keyboard I've ever had - thanx to you and Exidler - works like a charm on my Diamond.

Pierre
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] polstein:
Thanks for the reply (and skin!) I'm upgrading Wisbar to a slightly newer version as we type - actually - done & no difference. Will probably post on their forums, but would like confirmation from another Wisbar person here.

Had to look a while for predtxt - didn't think to look under languages!! Much more better.

Think I'll go post on Lakeridge - they are usually pretty responsive.

---

OH - one last thing. Probably my biggest beef with the OS in general that I've asked about in more places then I can count with no resolution. AFAIK, there is a bug in the OS when one tries to use more then one 3rd party sip. When it comes to writing with a stylus, I prefer SlideIT, but for keyboard thumb entry I would prefer this new keyboard. BUT I can't switch back & forth between ANY two 3rd party sips.

In other words, when I use SIP Change to make Finger the default keyboard, and I click SlideIT - I get the standard windows keyboard. If SlideIT is the default, I can't change to Finger without using SIP Change (and a reboot). It doesn't matter which 2 sip's I use.

You ever hear about this problem (sorry about the tangent, btw)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] denist:
Giannis, there are still some layout errors in the file you posted last night (QVGA).

I corrected it myself. I'm attaching the new file to this post.

Anyone interested, copy it in the skin folder and run the keyboard options to save the changes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
i have fixed the whole qvga version but i havent posted it yet..i will post it so that you can test it ;)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] firiel:
Hello and grats for your app

Am using it with eng/grk and while typing in Greek the character "ά" it gives me back a"ά," (with a semicolon) . Same thing occurs with these chars έ, ύ, ί but not with these ό, ή, ϊ, ώ. Can it be fixed? Had the same issue while trying the 1.1 ver.

Also the greek "κ" with the latest version became "K" from "k".

Hope you can understand me.

PS Am using the VGA ver and tried Black-blue and Black-Green skins
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dkobran:
Soo weird, I tried removing it (using the method you mentioned- register, No, delete folder in programs, soft reset etc etc.) and it still wont let me install another version! is there information stored somewhere else? This is crazy it doesnt even make sense. Any ideas or should i just hard reset?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Jiggs1337:
I uninstalled the version i had previously and deleted the folder in Programs, but still the new version is stuck on installing. The progress bar is not moving, and the egg timer keeps spinning and spinning. Been doing that for about an hour now, and its the 3rd try.

And ideas?

EDIT: Its now working. I did two things, so I'm not sure what solved it. I re-downloaded it and I also changed the default SIP to load at startup in SIPchange.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Drybonz:
Giannis, what file was changed with the new stuff in .408? I need to know what not to overwrite, please.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sjauquet:
same issue here, unable to install, even after uninstall of previous version, remove folder, soft reset....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sarc:
I don't know if this is a quirk, bug, or if I simply don't know how to use this keyboard. :p

FingerKeyboard does work differently in Live Search though.

At first I was put off since I could not type out a word, it brings down some quick search based off of the letter, and the next letter I would type replaces the first.

It's almost like it's triggering WinMo's sure-type system (I think it's called "sure-type").

Funny thing is, I can't figure out how to do the same thing with the factory provided SIP's that came with my Sprint Touch Pro.

I'm not even sure if this is something that needs to be fixed, just figured I would put it out there for the info.

I am curious if there are plans to do a "compact qwerty" style version of this Finger Keyboard? :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cincy1020:
Weird, mine works normally with Live Search. Maybe it is device specific.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tankrider:
Awsome application!

Thanks for the contribution guys.

VGA version working perfectly on my diamond:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rast62:
Yes, thats the problem with the german letters ä,ö,ü,ß. If I used one of them on the display-name, the pred.-buttons behind are not shown.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wilfmoralee:
This is the best keyboard ever!!!

using greek and english, works perfectly.

Only thing I wanted to know, can you change the set texts (such as 'I'm busty, call me later' etc)?

Keep up the great work. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] RaudelJr:
I'll try the keyboard soon.

Sorry if the following question had alrady been asked/answered.

What is the differenced between the arrow and non arrow versions?

Look forward to testing.

Thanks

Raudel
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
@firiel

i will fix it ;)

@dkobran

it shounds very weird..what you can also do is search yours registry for "fingerkeyb"

delete everything that comes up (if there is anything)

then try soft reseting and installing it

@jiggz

if it looks like its stuck press on the home button and open your task manager..there should be a config tool that has opened but was minimized for one reason or another..do your changes, click on apply, and then installation should finish

@drybonz:

all predtxt files

digit layouts

polish & danish

@sarc

i think its live search..hell that feature doesnt even work on mine..no matter which keyboard i use..LOL

@rast62

a wild shot in the dark here..can you try saving it in unicode format? hopefully that will work but im just guessing

It will ever be the best keyboard, but I can't use it as default keyboard, so I ever have to re-change to port off diamond2 keyboard....

Sip program are inutile, or don't work on my diamond... Nobody have this issue?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:

it says how you can use it as default...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] owziee:
Wow I'm totally impressed by this new version!!! Looks & works AWESOME on my Diamond and doesn't take up to much screen space like earlier versions... I'm using the no arrow version.

But what do you mean by "This keyboard does not support T9. However, there is an option to enable standard Windows Mobile word suggestion, as well as SMS contact name suggestion."

I enabled xt9 and soft resetted, it works perfectly fine, just like with my other keyboards! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] smile_me:
Great keyboard! Many thanks to you!

I have one question with predtxt. I don't need so much phrases. I'd like to make 1 phrase for each button. I've found how to change the text, but I still have 2 phrases on each button with the same text. How to edit it?

Thanx!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
does it hurt so much to have more texts available? :P

the 2nd ones are the phrases that appear when you hold a button

open the 99-predtxt layout

texts are seperated like this:

normal,hold,selected (shift), holdselect

seperated by commas

just delete the ones you dont like

for more info read the doc about new located in your fingerkeyb directory

if you want to have normal, nothing, shift, nothing

do this

TEXT1,,TEXT2,

by the way, deleting these will not increase the font size of the remaining text..(if in case that is your concern..

i'd like to rebuild the original compact touch hd keyboard (because it's not working properly in landscape mode) see http://iloapp.wcw.dk/data/_gallery/public/30/1229607310_resized.jpg

I've made in such way:

but i still have 2 phrases on button (with the same text)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MikeEx:
Much better. I tried 2.0 and went right back to the buggy TD2 keyboard.

I didn't like the spacing between keys (without the arrows).

Fingerkb 2.1 is perfect now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
@smile_me

try this

CSCHEME.txt1,,CSCHEME.txt2, AC:txt1,,AC:txt2,

This will take care of the problem. The txt2 is there for when you press the shift button..you can use any number you want (corresponding to a text in the predtxt layout...

if you want the same txt when you press shift too, then use 1 in the second code too
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dkobran:
Your not going to believe this but I did (with Total Commander) I did a search using the "search" tool of my device and storage card too. I found a bunch of stuff using both searches and deleted everything. ....and, nothing- it still wont install. I give up. There is probably some file indicating the keyboard is still installed, either in the registry or just on the device in general that has a name that wont come up in the search. (I tried searching for "finger", "keyboard" etc.) Anyways, thanks for your help i guess ill just do a hard reset or somethin cause now neither version is working cause i deleted those files of course. The app looks and works great im just wondering why it never showed up in the remove programs menu in the first place- you said its supposed to right? Are other people having this issue (I know one guy said he is already)... Thanks again though.

I have the same issue on an Omnia with the wqvga version, I know, this is a Diamond thread but though it might help with the issue. v2.0 previously installed, uninstalled and unregistered per the instructions, v2.1 install failed.

This keyboard is awesome but I would like to ask if this feature will be available:

I have XOR Morna 1.10 and I think it uses Rhodium keyboard. With this keyboard when you mistype a letter, T9 automatically suggest the correct word; let's say I type H E L K O, it recognizes K as an error and suggest me "hello".

Unluckily fingerkeyboard does not support this feature. Do you plan to add it?
