Still doesn't get a decent layout

Ok, I tried to do this for 4 times already, but it doesnt work.

- I added Size 480 364 to skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng.txt (Check added file)

- I unchecked ENG and checked it again in FB configurator

- I soft-resetted my HD

- I entered SMS chat and notice no decent layout-change on the skin

Could anyone help me? I tried everything already.

Thanks Rozenthal. It's good to encounter developers who are as connected to their "customers" as you are. You seem to directly answer a lot of people's questions in this thread and seem to spend a lot of time doing so. It is greatly appreciated.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] titan85:
First of all thanks for amazing work. I love it.

I have a question for you. Is it possible to somehow edit strings in Config Application so I can translate it to my language and add it to my custom ROM ? It seems to me that all the strins are hard-coded but maybe I am just dumbass :)

Hello can someone help me , i have install this keyboard and i cant write 160 char but only 70 , what can i do ???

I am from greece ...

Thankssssssss
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
This has nothing to do with Fkbd. It's simply a matter if you're using special characters that are not supported in default SMS code. Using even a single such character will reduce the number to 70. Some special characters will use up 2 spaces.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] omek07:
No my friend i dont use special characters, i use only capital letters ...

First of all a BIG thankyou to all those involved in this GREAT KB.

I have installed the WVGA cab to my HD, for some reason i cannot find the "Ctrl" key, could someone please let me know where this is, i would like to key-in Ctrl-a; etc.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wiggz:
ok potential bug found - I was checking out a postcode distance today in google maps on the htc touch hd and attempted to write a "number" by holding the specific key down.....now it simply didn't work in portrait mode - until I turned it to landscape and then it worked. turned it back to portrait to confirm and still didn't work.....can anyone else confirm that they have had this issue?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mr_deimos:
Just disable Unicode sms sending and you'll be set - it's somewhere in the settings menu in the default WinMo SMS app. Search the forum if you can't find it.

As for the keyboard - any news on extended vibra support (non-default vibra port)? I haven't seen this issue in the bug tracker post so i thought i'd ask ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pmgnet:
Hello, I'm eager to try this keyboard, but can't get it started. I had the BTC EZ keyboard installed prior, but it is now removed and doesn't show as a SIP or under add/remove programs.

I can't seem to find this debug DLL for 2.1. Is it different than the 1.4 debug dll? I had the older 1.4 and it isn't working for 2.1, so probably not a good idea. I was unable to get 1.4 running before either.

The only thing I can get to run is siptest, and the log looks pretty fine from that.

In my SIP list, I see all the standard SIPs plus FingerKeyb. If I pick FingerKeyb, it doesn't seem to do anything and reverts to "Keyboard".

So, if there's a 2.1 debug/logger for me to try, I'm up for it. Please PM me if you care to do so and I'll jump on it.

Thanks!

p.s. from what I can see from siptest, this is better than EZ... I hope I can get it to work!

I'm running 9/30 HD_III_Raphael WWW ROM.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RobRedbeard:
Ultra cool gentlemen.

I also add a post to www.xda-china.com announcing this and pointing to this post.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Actually, your question was addressed only few hours after you asked it :)

You can read about it under FAQ!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Capital letter can be a special character too. For example, if you're using greek letters, it's quite possible they're not supported.

For example, in Croatian you got 5 "special" characters: Č, Ć, Š, Đ, Ž. Using any of them in SMS on any device and any operating system, will reduce the SMS character limit to 70.

So, again - this has nothing to do with FKBD.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
What layout is this?

I tested it now with English layout and numbers work fine in Google maps search.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Thank you for the tip and announcement!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Since you say you couldn't get 1.4 running either, it's obviously something about your system that's making problems for FKBD.

I honestly doubt that running debug logger would make any difference. We had people who were using EZ report similar problems as you do. I guess when you flash your next ROM and try to install FKBD on a clean device it should work normally.

Of course, I don't expect you to flash a ROM just so you could install our keyboard, but next time you do - remember it and give it a go :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pmgnet:
Sort of works?

So, this is cool. Since you said no go, I installed BJK EZ Input one more time. Before a reboot, the FKBD was running! It looks really nice!

So close and yet so far... Any chance this makes sense about what BJK might be doing to some DLLs perhaps? I'd be willing to help debug if you have any interest (I'm a programmer by background, so I'd try to not be dumb). :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
I'll talk to Exidler and see if we could hook you up with debugger tool. Can't promise it'll be a fast response, since the Easter holidays are here, but I will get back to you as soon as I got some info.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] eli_co:
maybe u right but this function is missing on the WWE rom for me .

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] krakajak:
Hi there, long time reader first time poster.

First of all, great job to all the guys behind v.2.1, it's absolutely great, I love the customisable keys.:)

I have one question though, which may have already been answered but I haven't seen the solution so far.. with the HTC Qwerty when entering the recipient's name it always used to predict from the phonebook who I was typing. This doesn't work with v2 or v2.1 of Fingerkeyboard though, is there anything I can do?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tcbusch:
I am using FingerKeyb-2.1-QVGA-Giannis86 with the English keyboard. The landscape keyboard is messed up. The top row of keys are not configured properly. Here is a fixed version of the English landscape keyboard.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ANULADOO:
YES ..........

its finally working on my htc touch..

thank you

umm..can u also add a feature of full screen keyboard..like in spb keyboard??

so that i can type on vito sms without changing to portrait mode and that to with a full screen keyboard??

just a request

thank u
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tcbusch:
Are you asking me? I don't believe fingerkey can change itself to landscape from portrait mode. However, the keyboards are customizable. What would your ideal keyboard look like? Do you have a picture or an example?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mr_deimos:
Do you mean this section of FAQ?

If so then we have a little misunderstanding here :) I'm not saying that the vibra doesn't work because i don't know how to enable it. It doesn't work because non-standard hardware layout.

Since vibra is seen by the OS as just another LED, then you probably used the nLED interface to control it. So this function is used to turn it on or off:

BOOL WINAPI NLedSetDevice(
UINT nDeviceId,
void* pInput
);

The first parameter of this function is a structure containing information about the LED we want to turn on or off, and about its desired state:

struct NLED_SETTINGS_INFO {
UINT LedNum;
INT OffOnBlink;
LONG TotalCycleTime;
LONG OnTime;
LONG OffTime;
INT MetaCycleOn;
INT MetaCycleOff;
};

The entire problem is LedNum parameter. Usually (on HTC devices and some others), the vibration motor is seen as LED number 1. But there's no formal standard for that, so not all manufacturers follow this convention. For example, on my Toshiba G900 (a.k.a. Softbank X01T) the vibration motor is under LED number 0. So making the LedNum parameter would solve the problem. It doesn't really have to be accessible in configurator - even being able to set it in registry will be enough.

Anyway, i don't want to press the issue. If you feel that changing the current behavior to would fix a problem that only for ~1% phones have is not worth the trouble, that's fine with me. Just trying to help make this great keyboard even better ;)

By the way, i'd like to propose adding one more mode to the backspace key settings. I believe having it send "delete" key in one of the modes would be useful.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] victorinoxs:
I think this "square" problem might have been caused by hiding the bottom bar. The problem goes away after disabling hiding the bottom bar feature, at least on my device (Omnia i900). Can someone confirm this?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] chokia:
Yup i can confirm that too, no more ugly square after you set both landscape and potrait "Show bar"
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
I appologize, I was sure I updated FAQ in Blackstone thread, but it turns out I only updated the one in General forum. Anyway, here's the paragraph:

Vibration feedback don't work on my device. Why is this?

If you're having problems with vibration feedback, it's most likely that our autodetect LED vibration feature don't work well on your device. However, you can play around with "VibrateLed 1" string in skin-01-global.txt (Program Files\FingerKeyb\Skins) and see if perhaps changing to another LED number will work for you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
There's a whole post dedicated to this on page 1 that has several solutions listed.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Georgeous2008:
FingerKeyboard 1 and 2 were missing significant comfort features. However, the new version 2.1 is just excellent !!! :D Thanks

I have attached the Luxembourgish (LU) language skin here below, it can be used for French, German and Luxembourgish languages. Given that it is based on the QWERTZ layout it should in particular satisfy the needs of Swiss/German people. The price of this flexibility was removing the digits, which are only available in the digits screen. It is recommended to set the digits/language option in favor of digits in the configuration tool.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] A&A:
Rozenthal THANKS A BUNCH for this amazing keyboard :)

I have installed (FingerKeyb-2.1-QVGA-utak3er.cab) and "tuned" it to my liking and I am very happy with it.

As you can see from the uploaded images I have made some "re-skinning" and most importantly I have resized the qvga size to 240 x 130 (240 x 150 original) since on a 320x240 screen every pixel counts :D

I have also stripped down all features/languages/123 pad/pushed bmp's which I do not need and the footprint I achieved is impressively small.

I have only 2 questions and I hope that somebody can provide a good answer:

1) I would like to assign to the key which is between Shift and the spacebar the "Delete" (Del) command, can somebody please explain the correct way to do that? I have tried to guess and edited the line of the "skin-02-qvga-port-01-eng.txt"

(SINCE I DO NOT USE THE LANDSCAPE LAYOUT)

file to:

Key 31 100 28 20 1,1,4,1 key9 Del1 ,DEL,,ACTION.Delete

but that did't work :(

2) I use SmartCell TextPlus http://www.smartcell.com/web/pc-17-4-textplus-for-pocket-pc.aspx (a mutilanguage predictive software which adds up to any keyboard layout its intelligent words & sentences with frequency of use factor or, as they call it: Frequency-based intelligent search engine) and I am VERY HAPPY with it... Unfortunately with FingerKeyboard it seems to get disengaged after suggesting the first 2 or 3 words/sentences (any other keyboard interacts flawlessly with TextPlus)... I really need to find a solution to this otherwise -much to my regret- I will have to quit using this WONDERFUL FingerKeyboard because I have build (over the last year) a perfect TextPlus database in more languages and cannot give that up :(

I look forward to any good solution and wish everyone HAPPY HOLIDAYS :)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] f_mulder:
Problem was seen in Giannis' qvga arrows version.

From your question I conclude that each one of you

creates his own layouts...

May be the better way to maintain layouts will be to create

a layouts repository (on MediaFire for example) ?

As I understand, all qvga layouts should work both with your

and Giannis's versions, right?

BTW: I didn't find the answer to my question regarding float or int

values in the layout file...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Not sure what would be the point of this.

If it was more transparent to allow showing what's beneath the kbd, then the keys would be very hard to see.

If it was the other way around, then you wouldn't be able to see what's under the keyboard.

Anyway, technically, I don't think it would be a problem to implement, but I just don't see this being very useful.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
The only differences between any of the available versions are in layout skin files and graphics. The DLL, Config tool and the functions of the keyboard are the same across all versions.

FingerKeyboard 2.1 bug when screen rotated?

Hi.

It looks like Finger Keyboard v. 2.1 has a minor bug.

When device screen is rotated (e.g. by Opera or any "screen rotator" application like ChangeScreen) then in upper left corner of screen a small black square appear. Originally I didn't pay attention to it, but once I clicked on that square with stilus, a popup letter from FKBD appeared with click sound. So I realized that this square is a piece of FKBD. And this square remain on screen untill you popup FKBD normally using SIP icon on bottom bar.

Not to say it's too annoying, but still...

PS. The best keyboard I ever used, keep the good work!

Hi everybody,

I got a problem installing this version.

Previous version there was not.

Firstly, it takes a lot of time to install, I dont know why.

Secondly, after installing it says couldnt find skin or resolution, stg like that.

What is this, do you know?

Thanks in advance...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fagon:
I'm yet trying to understand possibilities of your fine keyboard.

:) However, I've not found how can I add features like:

1. - FingerKeyboard has 3 basic layouts: Normal, Shift and Numeric.

May you consider another extra layout so that any one personalise and auto configure it?

2. - There it will be possible, for example, add figures of some iconsmiles (xxx.PNG or even xxx.bmp ?) to write smilestext.

3. - Would be nice if, pressing and still over a letter to get anoter litle sub/hidden layout, over courrent keyboard, with accentuated letters to chose one there?

Will be those possible?

Thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lemting:

with WVGA, if you tap and hold the bar space you should have dot and space

that's work on portrait mode but not in landscape (with letter but works with number)

Morning,

This is a great keyboard. I have been reading other posts about larger getting a layout that has larger letters (in landscape). I find that I am making too many mistakes and by hitting the wrong key. This is a large forum and I did look around but could not find if something was done.

I would love to see the top row loose the little keyboard, up arrow and the en (then make the letters wider). Additionally the same thing on the second row.

I am a texter and don't really use the arrows at all.

I am using FingerKeyb-2.1-WQVGA.cab.
