XT9 & TEXT SUGGESTION:

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. There are two ways to do this.

First way is to use the FingerKeyboard Config tool and select what you want to use (Word / SMS suggestion, or both). SMS suggestions will work normally, but for WinMo word suggestion to function, you will need to switch to HTC default keyboard and manually turn on XT9 on the little T9 switch. After that, you can reload FingerKeyboard and everything will work normally. This can be a good way for people who like to use T9 on other keyboards, but also want to use FingerKeyboard without T9. This approach also makes it possible to use new HTC style suggestion windows (the ones with small arrows on each side, where you can flip between names / words).

To avoid messing around with XT9 switch on HTC keyboard you can simply globally disable XT9 across the whole system. That means that T9 will not work even on system keyboards that have T9 support, but SMS / Word suggestions will both work. This will disable the HTC style suggestion windows, and use the default WinMo style (opens a simple white window with list of suggested words or names). The patch file which disables XT9 globally is attached in this post. This patch can be uninstalled. If you already have it installed, you do not have to remove it or reinstall it. Also, please note that when you install this patch, you will not be able to select SMS /Word options in FingerKeyb config tool - they will always be grayed out.

Click Here to Download this Patch

It might be best to install the FingerKeyb cab and test it first. You can always globally disable XT9 later on if you decide so.

There is a known bug with Word suggestion, that has been almost fully fixed in this version of FingerKeyboard. The bug manifests itself like this:

- if you have "Text word suggestion" turned on, and you type an SMS message, the "home" and "end" buttons will not work while the word suggestion window is open on the screen. If you select a word, those keys will work normally. Unfortunately, this isn't our fault - it's actually a bug in Word suggestion app.​

Looks very nice... installing it now! Thx!

Thats what im waiting for :D

You can customize nearly everything, thats awesome

Thank you very much Giannis;)

My thanks goes also to Exidler and Rozenthal :)

this is by far the best keyboard i have used!!

any chance of an oem package in the future?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sir Schwanzelot:
excellent work! thank you thank you!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] vvtc:
is it possible to get the up/down/left/right arrows on the bottom row of the keyboard?

thanks

Awesome job! Thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dkobran:
Looks fantastic- ill give feedback after testing. What i like so far, even without trying is that this is what im looking for in terms of apps for my WM fone. As Msoft has failed completely in this regard, it is up to us to create these type of apps and to make sure that they are usable and well documented. Unfortunately, many apps are half-assed (not an insult to their creators- it is simply not possible for an individual or a small group of people to do what the entire team at apple or HTC does) so often times, they can cause more problems then they solve as bugs upon bugs are discovered. What we need is comprehensive apps that are presented in an organized manner like this. An example is the FAQ section which is great (cuts down clutter- a thread does not need to be 200 pages long) because we all hate those who ask questions over and over again that have been already asked and most of the time- even answered. Way to go!

Edit: Works smoothly. Good customization options. Addresses major flaws in most other keyboards (example- .com and www. shortcuts). No bugs discovered yet. Would like to see directional arrows at bottom option in customization menu as we all hate the useless dpad on our Fuzes. So far...highly recommended!!

i currently have version 0.17 beta, and there's no uninstall option. how do i uninstall this before installing 2.1.1 ?

or should i just install 2.1.1 over the top?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Brenn:
this is awesome Thanks!

Great work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] scout7:
I had no uninstall option either. I just installed the newest version, it would not work. So I uninstalled the new version, deleted the finger folder, soft reset, reinstalled, soft reset and it works fine. I have a Diamond as well.

Good luck.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] scout7:
Will there be a port of the Glossy version ??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] prismfire:
predtxt

I see that there's predtxt in the language selection. May I know what is it? Is it a language or a special feature?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
to answer some questions:

version with arrows will be uploaded today

unfortunately it cant be configured from the config tool

Predtxt is my special features..its predefined texting..try it...i will post some screenshots soon

to uninstall versions that were installed manually:

click on register, and then choose NO from the popup...after that delete the whole fingerkeyboard folder

whatever you do, do NOT install this over another...

edit:Glossy edition will be adjusted too..but it will take a while as i have to finish other stuff first

When i initially heard of fingerkeyboard i thought i would get a more finger-friendly one but I think that better than this one isnt possible. I thank you for the work. :) (Normally I dont make smileys but now that I have the function I use them.)

Its good to see that you solved the arrow-problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] buluba89:
I dont know about the problem with the capital but i can help for the english "k", just put this file at Program Files\FingerKeyb\Skins

and replace the old one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] e.w.y.:
is it just me or is this thing crashing whenever i plug it into the computer? :S
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fagon:
Get 2 files inside FingerKeyb\Skins folder that you see most similar to your language:

skin-02-qvga-land-YY-XXX.txt and skin-02-qvga-port-YY-XXX.txt.

Rename themm for exemple, to:

skin-02-qvga-land-YY-XX2.txt and skin-02-qvga-port-YY-XX2.txt.

Then, open them with notepad and there you can change some letter or symbol that you don't need and put there

those you need.

Put both files in FingerKeyb\Skins folder, select open keyboard options, select at lesat 1 language and your "XX2" language and aply to test.

And good look!...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rast62:
The same problem here a few days ago. Where did you install finger keyboard? Device or Memory Card? I have install finger keyboard first at memory card, then it crashes if i plug usb in. So i uninstall and install new at the device. Now no problems...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mcspikesky:
Very very nice although i must say on both of your threads, this and Black Touch Manila the banners have sunblinds which i find strange. Lol :P

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] e.w.y.:
i see, will definitely try that out, i always install my applications in the internal storage card of the diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Repetitor:
If that is what's causing the problem, and it is, than non of the other aplications you have installed on your memory card will work, when your device is connected over USB. This is happening if you use your device as external storage, if you choose Active sync when connecting, than aplications should work fine, even when connected with USB. The problem has nothing to do with this specific software, it's just the way your device functions...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rast62:
Thats basically correct. But Finger Keyboard crashes at my device also if i connect via activesync

Giannis86:

I've instaled file FingerKeyb-2.1-QVGA-arrows-Giannis86.cab

I thank you for your wonderfull work!

I've configured it with my own ptg layout, including leters â and ê and all accentuated capital letters that were missing in your original ptg layout.

Note for futher upgrades: In Portuguese, there are only 11 expecific accentuated leters: à á é í ó ú ã õ â ê ô and , ç . The others are the usual in english.

Now, I've a problem with predefined texts and I put this post:

So, I beg you any tip to solve that...

Edit:

I found! It is necessary to select, in options, predtxt.txt like it be a language!

Any way, many thanks for you keyboard!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nmoreman:
I originally used Finger Keyboard 2.0, upgraded to 2.1. Love many of the features, but two questions -

Is it my imagination or are the letters smaller, less distinctive in 2.1? I'm using WhiteIce to get the letter colors to pop up, and it just seems harder to see, especially in landscape mode, than the other.

Second, can you use old skins for colors such as White/Pink - loved that combination.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DomSim:
where are the settings stored? i would like to back them up so i can restore them during UC after a new flash
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] peterrus:
This must be the best keyboard I have tried so far. I think I will be keeping it :) Thanks mate
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fagon:
Look for them at \Programs\FingerKeyb\...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DomSim:
there are no settings there unless it is the dll :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fagon:
I've instaled FingerKeyboard in device and I have it at \Program Files\FingerKeyb\ where is .dll but also the folder 'skins' and inside it all other files and folders.

Look for it at your memory device and also in storage card...

If not, maybe unistall, softreset. Delete every remains and traces about FingerPrint. Softreset and reinstall (I think that the best is to install it in the memory device...)

everything works great, except the TXT button, nothing happens when I hit him, probably some setting I have not notice?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Stamper:
Great app, but..

Great app! Works perfect!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] unk4s:
great application! It pretty musch sorted out the problem with leters A and S wich I had problems to type.

Anyways is there a option to use the keyboard in landscape on HTC Diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Trident:
I've used this app w/great results when installed by cab.

Recently, I've tried a few ROMs with it built in and they used versions without the arrows or bottom layer of buttons. How do I switch layouts in that situation? Primarily, I need to know how to get to the number keypad for entering long strings of numbers.

Thanks.

Hi guys. I enjoy the keyboard very much. Just thought about what if in Numeric layout by pressing and holding the "equal" symbol the keyboard will generate the result of equation just like a calculator?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] eskasi:
This is the best I have seen. I use SPB as I found that on my diamond, it had the most accurate finger typing response. This one comes very close but has way more functionality!

Giannis86, Thank you for your efforts. Is there ANY chance that you might add gesture support? It is the one thing I am missing badly, swiping my finger to the right for space after each word and swiping backwards to delete! I have been using that on Resco and SPB keyboards....

Please ;)

i have used this KB ever since it came out and evr since the last release i have noticed that when im typing a txt or anything for that matter sometimes any random key press closes the KB !! has anyone else noticed this glitch??? cause its really starting to bug me
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Trident:
I thought it was just me. I thought, "Maybe I'm just accidently pressing on the softkey or the SIP and that's closing it down?"

It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen.

And a little bump. How do I open the number pad when the kb looks like this?

First of great job, nice screen.

I am frequent ROM flasher. I want to find out where are my Fingerkeyb setting are saved(like languegue selection etc) are they in Registry or in some file which I can backup so when I flash next itme i can reimport those setting?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] player911:
I love Finger Keyboard. I also saw a really neat feature on the new AT&T Samsung "Omnia"... the one with a Samsung OS.

One thing that was really sweet was that the keyboard would change depending on the orientation. In portrait mode, it would display the old phone keyboard for old school texting... but rotate the phone in landscape mode and the keyboard went into a full qwerty keyboard.

It was a PERFECT solution. It allowed quick 1 handed texting in portrait mode and quick 2 handed texting in landscape. Very slick feature. Perhaps this could be an option in a future release?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 4D3:
WTF? why quote the entire forst post?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] MrObvious:
Can someone explain how to make a layout for English landscape that I can either have a fourth row or move the comma and period to the bottom row somehow? It would make typing a little easier. Or has someone done something like this before? I have tried myself but I ended up only having the q and w keys showing up and the rest not there.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Brenn:
Here you go... I swapped the : and ; to one key on the second row left, dropped the , . directly down and put the / ? above it. You know too that you can hard press the space bar to put a period and space...

Hi, I've jus installed this on my newly flashed WM6.5. Works very well!

symbols?

is it possible for this keyboard to have a dedicated symbols layout (eg. for use w/ the hardware keyboard or even for the sip for those less commonly used symbols). i just find it easier switching to a symbols layout instead of pressing/holding a button.

thanks.

ive been using this keyboard app since it first came out and ive always re-installed it every time i flash.

i do my auto-install using sashimi. i noticed that when i miss, de-selecting the languages i dont need (only need english) it takes so long for the install to get done. it always looks like the install has crashed. in comparison, when im able to just select english, install is a breeze.

question is, would i be able to customize the install process so that it only loads up the english language by default?

thanks.

Finger Keybord is realy excellent! Nice looking, nice skins and very configuratible. I just have one issue.

After few sentences typed it starts to slow down reaction a bit. It delays my typing. I am using only english chacarcter set, and without text word suggestion.

Is it normal behavior?

Coult it be possible to add Japanese Kana ? Maybe kanji/ideogram system is too much but it would be great anyway to write some Hiragana or Katakana ...

There is already an open source japanese keyboard for ppc here :

Maybe it can help to improve FK2 ...

But it would be amazing to a a all in one keyboard !

Keep up the good work, i definetly use FK2 now !

did not have any problems with this kb till i used it on 6.5 . when sending txt msgs. as i am typing the letters on the TO: section, i dont see any names that i can scroll through on the lower screen.

thought it was a .rom issue at first but when i changed SIP, i did not have the problem... anybody else have this issue?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] robocik:
Me like it a lot!

First of all i must say that i like your FK2 very much, it's great!

one request... could it be possible to make the "Apply" button in FK Config to just apply changes and not quit and the OK button to apply and quit ?

It would be easier and quicker to see or when vibrating feel the changes, don't need to load the config application again.

thanks again for a great app.

I love XDA! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Exidler, Rozenthal and Giannis86 - this is really great. I love it and it works extremely well. I particularly love the shortcuts and the appearance.

I actually installed it to the Internal Storage in my Diamond (despite you advising to instal it to the Device memory), just to see if it worked well. I am glad to say that it does! There are no bugs, at least that I have seen so far. I have soft resetted it a couple of times and it is still the default keyboard (just as I had setted it up to be).

One thing I have noticed is that it seems to have saved me about 6MB of RAM! This took me by surprise, unless I am going crazy. Perhaps you could try to install it to your Internal Storage instead of your device and see if you too save this amount of RAM. I think lots of people would like this if it is infact the case. Perhaps everyone saves this RAM even by installing it to their Device instead?

I think HTC programs do eat memory anyway. I use the Windows Dialer as this saves memory too.

Thanks to you all again.
