I wholeheartedly agree with this. Since going from WinMo to Android, I've been using SwiftKey because of the swype prediction allowing me to type faster. I probably wouldn't have to resort to this if there was a keyboard as complete as FingerKeyboard 2 on Android.

Especially the arrow keys with the home/end functionality, smart character placement, text selection and copy/paste functionality etc is something that IMO to this day makes Windows Mobile a better choice for customisability of the user interaction experience than Android. I'm having a hard time adjusting my workflow from the compact and concise WinMo Today Screen with FingerKeyboard2, AE Button Plus and WKTask to the bloated Android experience; although my display increased in size, the lack of hardware buttons and cumbersome interface means I'm getting my work done more cumbersome than I was used to.

So here's my THANK YOU for FingerKeyboard2, better late than never! ;)

(Sorry for the thread necromancy.:/ )
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Spl4tt:
There's someone who totaly understands me.

Though I'm really ok with android now, after all this time. With a clean ROM (AOKP), Gestures wich replace the buttons (GMD Gesture control is THE thing) and a decent keyboard (Smartkeyboard pro!!) I really like using android.

But WinMo was definitely more productive. I'd love to see it on a new phone, but yea..

necro thread ftw :good:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bouvrie:
Bah, I hate getting offtopic in forums, but this matter pushes my buttons even more to let go. :(

What is every Android keyboard developer thinking nowadays, allowing for all kinds of alternate characters per key, yet only applying this mindset to the alphanumeric ones, AND keeping them the same regardless of pressing SHIFT? FingerKeyboard was excellent in this regard, and even allowed for HOME/END/PGUP/PGDN keys. Honestly, the only further optimization could possibly imagine would be having a 'Redo' button to complement the 'Undo' one. And coming from me, that says something.

I'm tired of all the people that think they can build a good app on Android; there's tonnes of them out there and people seem to have no frame of reference when they review those apps. With my WinMo background, it usually means I have to try each and every one of them unless I'm satisfied with how they perform. And even apps that were great on my WinMo don't have what it takes on Android anymore (G-Alarm for instance). Not to mention that somehow Android's approach to data entry seems less straightforward and slower-paced (think dumb consumer vs tech-savvy IT professional).

But thank you for the app suggestions; I'll give GMD Gesture control and Smartkeyboard Pro a try. Perhaps I can still be persuaded to the Android camp! ;)

All in all, I really want a phone to be smart in any way. This includes not having to recall every single-purpose app's name the moment I need it. But also that that I can operate it one-handedly, in some situations preferably with my eyes closed. And I don't mean by issuing fancy (and disruptive) voice commands, heck I don't want to have to use the screen at all for some features (mute/unmute audio, toggle flashlight, snap a shot); I just want to push a button and care less about the phone' display, instead of walking around like a zombie, navigating across a screen (wasting additional power in the process) just to switch on/off an LED.

Luckily, if all goes well, Pressy Button will somewhat address this, albeit with a service running in the background. If it does (by next year!), I only have to get a replacement for my WKTask interface (instant-press app switching through an always-on-screen taskbar) and keyboard to get going.

Sorry for the rant. Guess I'm a bit disappointed, also with what appears to be no delivery on Sony's advertised InfraRed functionality of my (and everyone's?) Xperia ZL's. ;)

I'm talking about moving my finger from a letter to other till I've find the key I wanted to strike. On the paper, this function sounds great, but actually, rare are cases when I didn't stroke the good key as TOUCH HD comes with a great screen. But often are the case when leaving my finger from the keyboard makes me gliss a little and finaly, the neighbored touch has been used.

I'd like a gesture like that :

from right to left : erase

from left to right : space

from down to up : CAP letter

from up to down : RETURN.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cincy1020:
Just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!

Best keyboard ever. I have always hated using SIP, but now with your keyboard all the things I hated about it are gone. The features are amazing, and it is FAST. The default HTC keyboard on the Fuze is a huge improvement over the Tilt (I used to have), but it is slow, and kind of a pain to use. I used to use PCM keyboard, and I liked it okay, but it is not nearly as fast and easy to configure as your keyboard.

Thanks again!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Arthenik:
Hey man, great SIP, a vast improvement over your earlier versions!

There are a few bugs though, on the WVGA version at least:

1) "Error parsing skin file 'SKIN.TXT'"

I get this error whenever I start the config tool.

2) Czech landscape layout is all messed up

It doesn't look like the English layout - it's not stretched from side to side, it's kind of cluttered - not easy to describe.

3) I don't know when or why it began to do this, but the SIP doesn't cover the bottom bar with softkeys anymore. It is set not to, but it does anyway.

4) I havn't noticed until now, but the whole keyboard went crazy, it shows a "Ro" button, even though I deselected Romanian language in the options (I made sure) and the BlackIce theme I'm using is all messed up - the top comes from BlackRed, while the bottom is BlackIce. I suspect this has to do with 1).

The keyboard was installed on a completely clean ROM (Davideuck's, V-4_HP), I even reinstalled it (along with the necessary reboot) to make sure it's not just a random bug, but it's just not working anymore. :(

I don't have any other SIP installed.

Try my Putty theme it has every character that you can key on a US keyboard plus a lot you can't. It's for WQVGA but should just be changing the screen resolution to get it on QVGA. If I have some time I'll try and do a QVGA version. I think I can find someone to let me test it on their phone :)

Great work, thank you very much for this keyboard. I have a little problem, seem to be the same in portrait and in landscape mode. I like to have the bar at the bottom hidden, to have more space on the screen. For example in landscape mode, when I hit the space bar at the point, where normally the button to change the keyboard is situated, exactly that button gets pushed and I can choose between the different keyboards. In portrait mode, it's the same with the button at the bottom to the far right side. Does anybody have the same problem? Ist there a solution for it?

FOR OMNIA (WQVGA) USERS:

I have been thinking about people complaining about Finger Keyboard that it does not have the "2 letters" panels, like Samsung Keypad or Touchpal, etc. And just for fun, I tried to make something that would simulate such a layout, maybe useful for someone with big thumbs or for someone who types on the run (on a bus or while walking...) and here is what I got:

Of course the Finger Keyboard does not support double tap, so we have to rely on press and hold.

So, the principle is simple: you press - you get first letter (q), you press and hold - you get the second one (w).

Due to the limited number of keys, there is only a few operators available: ":" and ";" on "L" key, "." and "," on the "M" key.

The good think about it is that I made it as a separate national layout - it is called EN2. So, you can download it, put it to your Skins folder and it DOES NOT REPLACE your English layout that you are currently using, you will have just another "language" to choose from, you can turn it on and off, swith back and forth, etc.

So, what do you guys think - worth to try? Like it?

Tip: In order to make the typing more comfortable, you can play with the hold time at settings

In the enclosed archive there are 2 files:

- the "new" English layout

- replacement of the types layout, it just makes the keyboard to use different space bar - harmless, but necessary.

So copy those 2 files to your Skins folder (watch the correct file names - it must include "-"), overwrite the types file, run settings and "check" the new EN2 layout, try it and have fun...

Hi I found a bug, don't know if only for italian layout or also for others.

In landscape mode, for the italian layout there isn't the symbol of apostrophe, that in portrait mode is upper the symbol of "v". So I modify the shortcut and change the ".co" shortcut with symbol of "'", like you can see in this image.

Well when I press and hold the symbol "l" then it writes ".co.uk" instead of apostrophe. Can you fix it?

weird *other* audio problem

I've been trying to read all the threads on this forum (and others) - and haven't seen anyone else post about it, so I can only assume I have something funky on my phone.

When I click any key, I get a chirp sound. This isn't the normal key tapping sound that can be disabled via options and modifying the txt file & removing the 1 line doesn't help..

As near as I can tell via Wisbar, a small program of some sort is launching every time I hit a letter and the sounds I'm hearing is the same sound as if I opened any program & closed it real quick. Except in this case it's like a program opens & closes every time I hit a key.

Any ideas? If I missed someone post about this (and an answer) I apologize in advance.

EDIT:

I cleaned out my Startup folder (backed it up) - looks like it's Wisbar Advance doing it. Anyone else using Wisbar?

This is something I had on my idea list for the current version, but never got around to talking to Exidler about it.

My idea was that long press on Enter would act like "send" button.

I will see if we can somehow implement this into next version, it would surely improve SMS-ing experience for those that prefer bottom bar hidden. However I'm not sure if we can tap into the messaging application through keyboard.

In any case, this is on "to-do" list.

That's a great keyboard indeed. Excellent work!

I do however have a remark regarding the new version:

Before, there used to be 2 separate buttons -

1: switch language

2: switch to numbers

Now you have united both in one which is not that convenient - I have to click 2 times to get to the keypad.

However, when I change to bulgarian layout, both buttons are there as they were in version 2.0.

Also, the bulgarian layout has some russian letters in it, which is not a problem, but they just take space.

You can configure how you want the Language / 123 button to behave in Config tool.

In some layouts where we tried to reduce the number of on-screen buttons it's true that dedicated 123 button is gone, but there's no need to press 2 times, you can simply press and hold - it will switch you to numeric keypad.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Zepiii, I saw your question before but there's no solution that I know of. On my Touch HD I didn't even have to install global T9 disable cab - SMS name suggestion worked normally, and I left the word suggestion unticked.

As for the french T9, I haven't got a clue to be honest.

I don't use T9 or XT9, so you're gonna have to check around other topics to see about this. Maybe you should go into global touch input settings and try changing the settings under Xt9 tab. Mine are:

Spell correction - on

Word completion in XT9 - on

Word completeion in ABS - off

Auto-substitution - on
