Modified WhiteIce Skin!

I would like to start by saying this keyboard is frickin' great! The customization freedom is virtually limitless.

Big thanks to Exidler, Rozenthal and Giannis86. :)

What I have done is made some changes to the WhiteIce BMPs and basically made them all monochrome, changed some positioning of the keys and also created a Tab key (I find it useful in some apps, plus wanted to see if I could do it). I ended up replacing the dedicated TXT button with the Tab key and created the graphic for it. I moved the Tab, Shift and Language keys around to positions that work for me. Plus, I swaped positions with the Digits key and Enter key. Finally, I changed the graphic of enter to the "enter arrow symbol", as I think it is more consistent with the rest of the look. Obviously, the screenshots explain it better. :p

Also, I replace the TXT button, but can still use the predTXT functionality since the language key will change it for me. Also, the only minor drawback, is that I used the same font (size, color, etc.) for both normal text and hold text in the predTXT layout. Otherwise it looks weird, due to the coloring I did for the normal keyboard. I don't mind it myself.

To install, unzip the file and copy the *.TXT files to \Program Files\FingerKeyb\Skins and copy the *.BMP files in the WhiteIce folder to the \Program Files\fingerKeyb\Skins\WhiteIce folder.

PLEASE NOTE: This will overwrite the WhiteIce skin, so if you like that skin as is, you should create another directory for the BMPs and change the Sheme file to a different name. I was too lazy to do this. ;)

Giannis86,

I have a question about using VK keys. I figured it out for the Tab key, but what does the "flags" part mean in the "VK:flags:key code" format. I guessed and used "14" for my Tab key, since most of the other VKs related to single keys used it. I was just curious. :D

Hi,

First, very thanks for provide this great application:D:D.

I am a Korean, and use this FingerKeyboard with Korean skin which is created by other Korean user.

BTW, I have a question about the changing the locale.

Background of question:

Some of application change the input locale internally when user launch that program. But FingerKeyboard still display the English layout, and if I press the key and Korean character is entered. So I change the layout to Korean, but input characters will be English characters:confused:.

So Korean skin creator modified the skin-01-actions.txt to make the function key that change the input locale without layout change.

Question:

FingerKeyboard can not detect the current locale to determine display the correct layout? Or this already has that function but not support the Korean locale(0412)?

Thanks,

woomg.

Wow! I didn't even know about this keyboard. I used resco's for its bulgarian language support. This one is so slick and supports so many languages! Thank you so much! 2.1 is working perfectly on my HTC Touch HD - I typed a sentense in Bulgarian containing 12 words using my thumbs only without even making one mistake!

Real nice keyboard, thx :)

One small issue though, using danish layout

Everything seems to work fine, except the "L" key

I can only type capital L, not ordinary "small" l

Any suggestions?

texting problem GREEK

While typing an SMS in Greek with this keyboard , when I just enter some certain letters [not on all letters] It changes from a possible sms of 160chars to a 70chars SMS. Is there any way to make all letters in an encoding that allows 160chars?

How do I activate landscape mode? I have yet to figure this out, sorry.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] RR33:
hi,

Search for a third app called ChangeScreen (or Gsen or Gyrator...)

Or simply use manual screen rotation : activate the registry key (thanks to TF3D config by example) then go to windows settings >> button and attribute screen rotation to long press call.

:)

How to remove fingkeyb 2.0?

I'be got fingkeyb 2.0 which was included already in ROM so no chance to uninstall it. Installed new version 2.1 but it does not appear in INPUT methods. Are there any chances to remove 2.0 or to add layouts from 2.1 version?

SOLVED! Changed registrey settings. But got another problem - when typing message using fingeykeyb phone reacts very-very slow.... If I uninstall fingerkeyb - phone does not load at all and got to make hard reset.

REQUEST

Hi, i've been using finger keyboard now and apart from the fact that it is FANTASTIC, the only bone i have to pick would be:

-could someone/the developer change the format of the keys so that: pressing the buttons = symbols and numbers and more importantly, pressing and HOLDING buttons= letters.

the main reason for this is so that u will no longer have to tap and therefore MINIMISE massively the amount of error u/i get from tapping such a small screen. i think this solution will honestly be revolutionary in the way that people wont tap but will slide...

for those who want an idea of what i am on about, try typing in ur phone number simply by sliding, letting it select and then siding to the next character. to change how quicly it recognises the 'selected character', go to the options and lower the appropriate time.

users should feel how easy and how much less errors one makes. feel free to point me in the right direction if there's a keyboard like this already.

Finger Keyboard stopped working

This is an excellent application!

I installed Finger Keyboard last night and it worked great, except for two issues, I went to compose a new message and I noticed that...

1. the auto-complete feature for the contacts had stoppped working.

2. the auto-complete feature for the words in the message body had stopped working.

Is this a known issue? If so, any workaround?

Thanks,

I m having a tiny bug

Keyboard is awesome, I advice that u install it on device instead of internal storage (if it was installed on internal storage, when you connect it to USB to disk drive mode, it will cause it to fail)

but I have a small issue with the name suggestions in SMS, it shows whenever you press one character, and selects well, but on the second character you press, the list will go up too high and the first few names will not be shown, am I the only one facing this?

thanks Gianni for the hard/good work :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
yes indeed..as i advised in the first page, device memory is the best...

As about name suggestion it works perfectly here..can you post a screenshot?

"installation unsuccessful".

any advice?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
When did you get that error? Before installation could start or during?

Do you have enough space?

Have you removed any previous versions?

Arrow edition has been updated to .3 after a resolution error. Everything is fixed now!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] daniel93:
thank, it's a great keyboard :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dkobran:
to install the version with arrows we need to uninstall the previous version (I already have 2.1.1 installed)? If so, where do you click register- I have never seen that?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sh500:
Excellent work Giannis86, by far the best keyboard I have used so far. Customisable features are great too- just tried changing the 'predictive text' entries from the skin files and that works a treat too.

Just one question:

I'm guessing I can delete the unwanted Skins, sounds, languages, etc that I'm not planning to use? Just that I'm short on memory and 7MB is a bit much (!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
yes, you can delete everything that you dont plan to use

here is a quick list:

Folder with the images

skin-00-sheme-XXXXXX (where XXXX is the name of the skin folder that you deleted)

Language files -port

Language files -lang

@dkobran

if you installed using the CAB, you can uninstall it from remove programs under settings

You can install the arrow version on top of this one though (Essentially its the same since doing so will first uninstall the previous version) :D

Excellent! Improved functionality and great to see that rotation works flawlessly now! The best VGA keyboard just got even better!

Also improved digi layouts, lots better with better arranged numbers in sets of three - just like they should. :)

Only one thing about the landscape digi layout: the zero key is really off IMO. I immediately moved zero to where shift is - shift doesn't even have a function in the number layout as far as I can tell... :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Giannis86:
UPDATE:

added ukrainian and fixed a small error in the greek layout

from now on i also use a different cab naming..the last numbers indicate the date of the version

i agree about the 0 button but i wanted to keep it symmetrical :D

indeed shift is not used now but i will update it soon to display more characters when you press it ;)

Landscape

How do i switch it to landscape on my diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
Go into Advanced Configuration Tool > chose Screen tab > set "Show Orientation Settings" on YES > set "Landscape mode" at 270 degrees > set "Landscape fixed" on NO. After this you go to the place you will need to use your keyboard, then press Start up the left corner, go to settings and the System tab, chose Screen and then pic the orientation you want to use. Remember, some themes and such won't allow Landscape mode in the Home screen and such, only in settings/messaging/viewing movie/listening to music.

Just FYI: With my touch diamond official ROM 2.03 (Europe, english) with the latest version 2.1.408:

Global:

- I only have languages english, spanish, greek and predtxt enabled [what is predtxt anyway...?]. First switched to greek and tried all different key combinations, and copy/pasting (which didn't work). I then switched to spanish and typed "qwertyuiop" and switched to greek, and the phone input via screen FROZE (but the caret kept blinking). Hardware buttons were still working, so i did a soft reset with the power button at the top and the wheel.

-7MB in internal storage for a keyboard?

Greek:

- While using lowercase, K is still capital in both versions.

- Some accented vowel characters have an annoying comma behind them

- In uppercase, 'I is duplicated

- In uppercase: copy really only deletes/paste doesn't work

- No t9, even when enabled elsewhere

So far this app looks great, but is too buggy for me.

@ the guy who posted after me: What does a keyboard have to do with TF3D anyway? Also, why not just try it?

Memory tip

I'm not sure if anyone's posted this tip yet, but if you use file explorer and delete the skins and languages you don't use/want, you can save about 6-7MB of memory..... Then the entire programme only takes just over 1MB in total after this and so far seems to work fine on my Diamond.

I have a LG KS20 (Qvga if i'm correct) and i'm french ^^

The thing is that on AZERTY keyboard, the letter "m" is situated at the right, right to the letter "m". On my version of fingerkeyboard (lastest) it is situated on the bottom left!! It seems silly but very irritating on everyday use...

On my touch HD it works nice most of the time, but in some apps it hangs randomly. Tapping on the keyboard icon gives no result, and clicking on the small arrow displays a selection of other keyboards (with unusual deley, yet) where I can select another keyboard (and it works most of the time, yet sometimes hangs as well). No such symptoms with other keyboards, so I believ, that the reason is finger keyboard.

I understand that it is difficult to catch such a random bug, so I can install some kind of "debugging release" of the app.

PS. I know at least two more people with the same issue, so it doesn't related to my particular device...
