Guys

Lets drop the polatics.
[General Topics] JKingDev:
I had been using Windows 7 for weeks withno issue (official beta, build 7000), then suddenly about a week ago I started having strange device issue. It started takin forever to go to sleep and when I got home and plugged in my usb hub or any usb devices directly in they would not be acknowledged at all. I think I have found the culprit. In the event viewer I am getting tons of errors from RapiMgr service not responding. Also, I cannot stop the service or terminate the process (WmdHost.exe) no matter how I try. I will restart and turn that service to manual startup now and see if I still get this problem. It doesnt happen all the time, but now that I think about it it may correspond with times where active sync wont connect for some reason (ie everything working fine but no active sync connection -> put it to sleep to go to class (takes forever) -> get home and plug in usb hub and nothing connects).

Anybody else have this issue? Was there a recent update to WMDC?
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I'm also using the official Win7 beta, and I had a problem with WMDC when I first installed it. It wouldn't acknowledge that I plugged in my phone. I got really frustrated looking for a solution, and after a lot of cursing, investigating, and more cursing, I finally just uninstalled it and installed it again.

And if you can't uninstall it because you can't stop the process, try booting into safe-mode if you haven't already. If you don't know how to boot into safe-mode, hit F8 while booting Windows to have boot options come up, then select safe-mode. I haven't tried with Windows 7 as I haven't needed to, but in previous versions of Windows, I believe that was the key to press. Hope that solves the problem,

Dave
[General Topics] JKingDev:
Thanks for the suggestions. There was no need to boot into safe mode as the process doesn't hang right after a reboot. It seemed to only start after running for a while. After rebooting I just uninstalled WMDC. I will see if the problem happens again but I am 90% sure WMDC is the problem. The question is just why would RapiMgr just start hanging all the time last week and continue to do so after a reformat? Perhaps the ROM that I am now running confuses activesync enough to cause it to freeze the process on my computer? I can't remember when exactly I started using this ROM. Hmmm. If I dont get the problem for a few days I think I will reinstall WMDC and then disable advanced network functionality in USB to PC on the device.

BTW, when I reformatted I decided to go to W7 build 7068. Not really any noticeable changes I dont think, but a nice new login screen background. MS did a very nice job with W7. So polished looking and a joy to use.

XT9 and Word suggestion

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.

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.​

Using FKBD2.1 in ROMs

If you are a ROM cooker and wish to use FingerKeyboard2 bundled in your ROM, please notify us first. All ROM-usage requests will be granted, but we wish to know where the keyboard is being used. ROM chefs may find the following info useful:

Registering keyboard in system.

- register dll as com object

or

- add to registry this values:

=====================================

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C03755DF-3EE7-41DF-AE5E-3FBBCA603F1A}]

@="FingerKeyb"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C03755DF-3EE7-41DF-AE5E-3FBBCA603F1A}\DefaultIcon]

@="\\Program Files\\FingerKeyb\\FingerKeyb.dll,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C03755DF-3EE7-41DF-AE5E-3FBBCA603F1A}\IsSIPInputMethod]

@="1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C03755DF-3EE7-41DF-AE5E-3FBBCA603F1A}\InprocServer32]

@="\\Program Files\\FingerKeyb\\FingerKeyb.dll"

=====================================

Path to .dll can be different.

In registry is saved only which skin files need to load and

which layout was last for each process.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FingerKeyb]

list of exe names and which layout must be restored for this process.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FingerKeyb\SkinFiles]

list of skin files names in _lowercase_

skin-00-scheme-blackblue.txt = DWORD:0 -this means "don't load this skin file"

skin-00-scheme-blackred.txt = DWORD:1 -this means "load this skin file"

Skin files that do not exists in this key will be loaded by keyboard automatically.

Skins directory is relative to place of keyboard DLL.

=====================================

All other settings are saved in skin files (mostly in skin-01-global.txt)

Exception is HTC T9 settings:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9]

IsSupportMSSIPContact = DWORD:1 - sms name suggestion

XT9SupportMSSip = DWORD:1 - word

But this settings is applied only if:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409]

"Ime File" = "et9ime.dll"​

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aegishua:
Very nice, is there a skins thread/section yet though? O_O
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rozenthal:
Hi, thanks.

I dunno if it's because everyone likes the default color schemes (there is a lot of them included), but very few people actually played with graphics for FKBD so far.

And those that did were mostly making small changes here and there, no big overhauls.

Any One Can Make it

i have already asked the authors in the main thread, Sorry Guys For double posts, but i need it

GREAT KEYBOARD, You have done the Best!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rozenthal:
You sure? Works perfectly fine for me :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rozenthal:
It is available for VGA Giannis edition, but not for the utak3r QVGA.

However, we will make a QVGA version that will be just the same as WVGA / VGA with all language layouts included. Hang on for a day or so, and it will be posted!

p.s. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rozenthal:
Check Program Files\FingerKeyb\Skins - everything is in simple TXT files.

If you want to cook this into your ROM, we would kindly request that you first contact us and tell us what are you working on.

We will grant all requests for ROM inclusion, we just want to know where and how is the keyboard being used.

Download QVGA version on my Polaris WM6.1.

After installing, the keyboard everything is very nice. However, nothing comes out when I press the soft-key (okay, oni some error sounds come out). Press slightly longer then only numbers appear. I'm using Eng Ver.

Rem I have the same problem with EzInput Keyboard untill I install the Eng-Lang Pack.

Am I missing something there? My guess is something silly that I didn't follow :confused:

Great typing experience, but is there a way to backup my registry (of the keyboard shortcuts)? I cant seem to find where they are stored.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] globefish:
Excellent software!

Definitely the best typing experience I have had so far (PCMKeyboard, WinMo keyboard).

Works great on my LG KS20 with the original Windows Mobile 6.0.

And WinMo's built-in auto completion still works with it.

One thing that I miss from v2.0 is the second sound that is played when holding a button for the upper-case symbol.

A second vibrate signal in the same manner would be a good addition too.

Setting it as my default SIP works fine with SKTools.

The keyboard does not pop up automatically whenever there's a text field, although this also happened for PCMKeyboard, and funnily enough also when I remove all 3rd party SIPs.

anybody know how to change fingerkeyboard2 skin?

I think there's some kind of bug, because when I tried to change my skin to BlackGreen or BlackRed, the character color is turned to WHITE and the keyboard color also turned to WHITE...

also... its look like the skin isn't working at all... everytime I tried to change the skin, it wont change to skin that I choose. always white keyboard and black char with icy symbol (pageup, enter, backspace etc). anybody experienced this?

I really want to try blackgreen, looks cool.. =)

the fingerkeyboard is embedded on the ROM so I cant uninstall it.

UPDATE:

the problem has been solved

its look like the skin file inside skin folders like BlackIce, BlackGreen etc only contain WhiteIce skins... dunno why, but THIS zip file fix it up. just copy what inside zip to skins folder in ProgramFiles/FingerKeyb and softreset your phone then try changing the skin. it should works.

Hi

Since i love fkb2 i really had one problem, i accidentally hit the arrow key below the space bar a few times, and i always thought that the keys could be a bit higher in size so i descided to alter the standard FingerKeyboard 2.1 layout a bit, merely to fit my needs better

But i want to share my work with you, maybe for some of you it is usefull!

till now i have only done the mods to the german layout cause i only use this one!

If you need some other language feel free to ask, i'll look into it

below are some pictures :)

of course you can use it with every other visual design!

(BEWARE: The language and digits file will be overwritten so it will be always like that, to go back to the original version, backup your skin-02-wqvga-port-01-digits.txt, and your skin-02-wqvga-port-01-XXX.txt file!)

Update: new digits layout :) check it out!

Installation: just copy the language file into \program files\fingerkeyboard\skin (or \my storage\... if installed there!)

To get the digits page as it is shown above copy the attached -digits file as well!

Types files needs to be overwritten once ( added for the graphics to work properly):

Hi,

i've been facing quite annoying bug of twikini since I downloaded it. I am using HTC Topaz with FingerKeyboard. The problem is that Twikini does not recognize long touches on keyboard - e.g. you have button with letter "a" and when you hold it longer, "a" with accent is written. That does not work in Twikini and I am wondering whether it is Twikini's or FingerKeyboard's problem.

Anyone experienced something like this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Soaa-:
Repost from the Blackstone thread:

I don't know if FingerKeyboard is still being developed, but I found registry keys that can be used to make a button to toggle between XT9 and ABC.

I prefer FingerKeyboard over EzInput because FK is faster, much faster, but the lack of a toggle button hampers its usability.

The two registry keys in question are in \HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME. ContextAwareSetting must be set to 0, and then TextInputMode can be toggled to turn XT9 on and off.

Of course, for all this to work, XT9SupportMSSip must be set to 1.

Now the thing is, TextInputMode flicks itself to 0 sometimes when switching apps. A toggle button on the keyboard would be a good solution. If the current keyboard can modify registry keys through key presses, we can already implement this. If not, then I hope a new version of FK which can will be released.

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.

Arrow Key Sizing

Hi everyone,

I am simply trying to make the Arrow Keys smaller so that I can have a bit more viewing space on the screen while I type. I have the Touch Pro, so I have VGA resolution.

I modified the following files:

skin-02-vga-port-01-eng

skin-02-vga-port-01-digits

Inside both files, I changed the "cy" (vertical size of the key) for the Arrow Keys (from 62 to 31) and then replaced the old files in the phone with the newly modified ones. After restarting the keyboard (and the phone), there are no changes...

Can someone please help me out??

Thanks a million...

I have been having problem with Touch Pro 2 Qwerty keyboard SIP. An obscure number keypad will replace the default Qwerty KB after a few days. The only way I can revert back to the default Qwerty KB was to do a restore from backup. I suspect it could be due to from this tweak but I could be wrong:

and

Layout Text : XT9 IME change to Layout Text : COMP IME

And soft reset.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gobywan:
I really like FingerKeyboard and have been using it as my default for a while now, but a couple of weeks ago, it stopped working entirely - I can't switch to it with the SIP menu, and SIP Changer no longer switches to it either. I've tried uninstalling the keyboard, doing a soft reset, and then reinstalling it twice now, and I still can't get it to run.

I'm using an HTC Kaiser with the Hyperdragon III ROM from sometime last year and the Giannis QVGA cab. If anyone knows of any reason why the keyboard would quit working, please let me know - it didn't line up with any new programs being installed or uninstalled, so I have no idea why it happened.
