Virtual onscreen DPad for WVGA

Hi,

I searched but couldn't find anything, so after a few hours of fiddeling I made my own WVGA virtual DPad. Unzip the attachment and copy the two files to your \Programs Files\FingerKeyb\Skins\ folder and select (beside your preferred language) the dpad 'language' and apply the settings. The next layout button on the keyboard will bring up the onscreen virtual DPad. Besides the up/down and left/right buttons it also has a OK button, a next layout and switch SIP button. It'll work with any skin!

I know graphics suck (I made it from the GrayGray skin) so I dare anybody to do a better job. Oh, and it's only landscape for now, I'll try to make a landscape version soon.

But, if anyone knows a better way to get me a virtual DPad (the HD2 doesn't have a real DPad) I'm interested as well :)

Hopes someone benefits,

Cheers,

Hi everyone

I am trying to do abuton, that types 1302. I tried configuring one of the smilies and shortcut fileds. What I get is , 02, though.I suppose, because thecodegoes SS:41302 the keyboard gets confued where is the end of the lenght parameter, and where the actual text starts.

Does anyone havaa workaroun it???
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Try this one: SS:5 1302.

Or just use one of the smilies, but begin with a blank space, like " 1302".

Edit layout

Hi guys, I have tried this keyboard and it is awesome, the accuracy of this is incredible. However I do like to know if it is possible to remove the arrow keys on the bottom (for HD2 wvga) as I feel it is a waste of space for me, and more often than not I will accidentally hit it.

A quick tutorial on how to remove the 4 keys will be great! Thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
You could use my skins (see my signature).

There is actually no tutorials available. Maybe, one day, i'll create one.

Serach the thread, maybe someone already moded the standard skin and removed the arrow keys.

SMS contact name suggestion problem!

Thanks so much for your layout! Really appreciate it.

1 more question, I am having problem with finger keyboard at sms contact name suggestion. For example, when I try to search for "Adam"... I would type A then D then A then M, but nothing would come out. However when i start Hitting the backspace key, M will be cancel off, and the search kick in to find Adam.

This is rather annoying when I always have to type a name then hit backspace for it to search. Any fix on this please????

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] deckoff:
No, it will not work that way:( The only way for this to work is to hard encode SS:5 1302 into a lang layout.

If I go with 1302 into the smiles config tool, the skin-01-smiles.txt file reads SS:41302 and the exe cannot read it properly. If I go with SS:5 1302 into skin-01-smiles.txt, after the keyboard is reloaded, the file is modified to SS:51302 by the keyboard... So the only way to have a string which consists only of numbers is to haveit encoded into the language file...

Video Tutorials for editing skin layout files

I finally got around to making some video tutorials so that new users can learn the basics about editing their skin files. Each video is about 1 to 4 minutes long.

I uploaded them to YouTube, and although the quality is good enough to see the information (especially when I zoom in), it is still not great. That's why I am including a link to download the original QuickTime videos with much better quality.

Keep in mind, these videos cover the very basics. They include how to do common tasks such as hiding arrows or customizing what characters the keyboard will type.

I hope it helps some of you.

How to use not Tahoma (Standard Font)

Hey Guys!

Last night I tried the whole night (actually, I had 2h sleep) to use a font that includes Khmer (script of Cambodia) Symbols with fingerkeyboard 2.1.

I tried everything, but finaly I ended up with this code in the

skin-02-qvga-port-37-kh.txt:

---

FontNormal	normal

FontHold	hold

FontSelected	selected

FontSelectedHold	selhold

---

and this code in the skin-definition-file

skin-00-sheme-BlackRed.txt:

---

CScheme GfxDir	BlackRed

CScheme FontNormal	efefef KhmOSSys 18 500

CScheme FontHold	b3b3b3 KhmOSSys 14 300

CScheme FontSelected	efefef KhmOSSys 25 600

CScheme FontSelHold	b3b3b3 KhmOSSys 19 500

---

KhmOSSys is the name of the font (see below!!!) Maybe you can also specify the font in the first file. I am not sure but check post #453, #455, #463,

Why do I write this? To give all of you who try to do the same an sample. I took houres until I found out, why it didn't work with this Code:

CScheme FontNormal	efefef Khmer OS System 18 500

because you can not have a SPACE in the Name of the font!!! Therefore you can use Tahoma, but for example NOT "Times New Roman" (who wants this font?!?) because it has to space in the name.

But if you really want to use your specific font, rename it with a Font Editing Tool. I changed the font "Khmer OS System" to "KhmOSSys" with old Softy v1.07b (Platform/Names).

I hope, this helpes someone!

Hallo Landsman,

I tried hard to figure out, how to type my Khmer (script of Cambodia) symbols with Fingerkeyboard.

But now I found out, that I can not use this code with all symbols

SC:ក (it is the consonant gá and has hex 0x1780 and decimal 6016)

because Unicode generates enter a new symbol when 2 specific Symbols are combined with each other. Therefore I want to send the hex or decimal value directl.

Unfortulay I don't understand this:

; CE:flags:vk - send char event. flags - hex string, vk - char virtual key code, in universion form of number (0x prefix - in hex, otherwise decimal)

; VK:flags:vk - send virtual key. flags - hex string, vk - virtual key code, in universion form of number (0x prefix - in hex, otherwise decimal)

therefore I tried the following code, but it din't work. Can you help me?

SC:0x1780

SC:6016

SC:0x1780:vk

SC:6016:vk

VK:0x1780

Fix for FingerKeyboard (FingerKeyb) Space Bar not Working on Some Devices

My DX900 had the same issue (my understanding from the ETEN-Users forum is that the issue is specific to certain ROMs--I am using Bruno Martins 6.1 v5 ROM). I'm not sure if this fix will work on all devices experiencing the issue, but the fix is simple enough to implement that it's certainly worth a try.

You need to edit the "skin-01-actions.txt" file. It is found in Program Files --> FingerKeyb --> Skins. I copied the file to my PC, used Notepad to edit the document, then copied the file back to my device. Look for the line that reads:

Action Space VK:14:0x20,OS:2:SC:.:VK:14:0x20

and change it to:

Action Space SC: ,SS:2. ,SC: ,SS:2.

(note that there is a space after the last period in the line)

And that should do it. I have also attached an already edited copy of the skin-01-actions.txt file. Simply overwrite the existing file on your device.

My problem is I simply can't install the finger keyboard. Setup runs till close to the end - takes then a long time and finally fails.

Is there any way to see why it fails? Some Debug log or so?

Or is it maybe even a known problem?

Other 3rd party keyboards are fine.

I really hope someone has an idea, because i really like this keyboard :'(

edit: I found the setup.log in the volatile folder. But there is no entry with "error". Version 2.0 also failed during install...

EDIT2: Found the mistake - after reinstalling the ROM it seems that the .net was somehow faulty. After reinstalling it works!

In (skin-01-actions.txt) I made an action titled:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
check your skin-02-wvga-port-01-emoji.txt

The second line should have:

LayoutBegin emoji

If that doesn't work, try putting an extra comma in skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng.txt, like this:

It happens because WM6.5.x has a slightly larger taskbar. The behaviour of CScheme TaskbarSize isn't very well described in the docs.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alex.shemesh:
Fixed it.

Installed RazSofTech hebrew support and everything works now.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
Hmm, I did some experimenting.

Yes you can, there are two ways:

1)

open up the appropriate types files, eg. skin-02-wvga-port-01-types.txt

Font normal	CSCHEME.FontNormal
Font hold	CSCHEME.FontHold
Font selected	CSCHEME.FontSelected
Font selhold	CSCHEME.FontSelHold

Font test1	ffffff segoeui 36 700 <-- add these lines
Font test2	b3b3b3 segoeui 20 700 <-- add these lines
Font test3	RrGgBb FontName Size Thickness <-- add these lines
Font test4	RrGgBb FontName Size Thickness <-- add these lines
ResolutionEnd

You'll notice the CSCHEME.Font.etc. names are merely for convenience. You can either set the fonts here, or define them as another constant string CSCHEME.FontCustomWhatever in your skin-00-sheme-BlackBlue.txt

2)

Probably less messy -

open up your skin-02-wvga-port-01-emoji.txt and write something like this:

ResolutionBegin 480 800
Font test1	ffffff segoeui 36 700
Font test2	b3b3b3 segoeui 20 700
LayoutBegin EN
DisplayName EN
Fill 0 0 480 330 CSCHEME.BgColor
Fill 0 0 480 2 CSCHEME.BorderColor
FontNormal	test1
FontHold	test2
FontSelected	selected
FontSelectedHold	selhold

Essentially the names of your files don't matter, like exidler says, all the txt files that are enabled (check [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FingerKeyb\SkinFiles] for which skins/languages are enabled - each txt file has an entry) get merged (in alphabetical order) into one big whopping nested file. ie. They get merged in the order you see them in file explorer (sorted by name).

The two examples above are equivalent, in the second example the fonts are just defined lower down. I think as long as your fonts/constants/etc are defined before it's used, then it's ok.

The order will also impact on which is your NextLayout and PreviousLayout by the order in which the skin files are parsed.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
I've been trying to decipher the CE:flags:VK command too but I don't think it'll help you.

You should be able to paste any unicode character directly into your skins.txt. If the box char comes up that probably means you haven't saved the txt file properly as UTF-8 or unicode, or the font doesn't support it [Note that PHM's notepad seems to save in ANSI only]. So using "SC:<unicode char>" should work, try using windows notepad and "Save As" with the correct encoding.

Anyway, if it's some other problem and you want to try a different input method, you'll have to simulate pressing "Alt+6016". Try this:

OS:6:VK:04:0x12:VK:15:0x66:VK:15:0x60:VK:15:0x61:VK:15:0x66:VK:06:0x12

ie.

Enter 6 commands - Alt KeyDn, Numpad 6, Numpad 0, Numpad 1, Numpad 6, Alt KeyUp.

I don't think Windows mobile supports unicode virtualkeys.
