[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SuperWink:
Awesome! Thank you so much! I did look over the manual, and that's how I learned about editing the .bmp files and changing the size of the buttons a little bit as their layout is now, but I don't know where to go from here. I am REALLY looking forward to what you do!

Thank you again!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
I didn't get the problem you have now. Just make the buttons a little bigger won't probably solve it. You have to rewrite the whole design. So, you have ur portrait screen width, f.e. 480px (VGA/WVGA).

So open the txt file "skin-02-wvga-port-06-en" (or the language you're using).

In my file you'll see this code:

......
;ROW 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key 2 5 44 62 2,2,8,2 red push 1,!,1,!	SC:1,SC:!,SC:1,SC:!
Key 50 5 44 62 2,2,8,2 red push 2,",2,"	SC:2,SC:",SC:2,SC:"

Key 146 5 44 62 2,2,8,2 red push 4,$,4,$	SC:4,SC:$,SC:4,SC:$
Key 194 5 44 62 2,2,8,2 red push 5,%,5,%	SC:5,SC:%,SC:5,SC:%
Key 242 5 44 62 2,2,8,2 red push 6,&,6,&	SC:6,SC:&,SC:6,SC:&
Key 290 5 44 62 2,2,8,2 red push 7,/,7,/	SC:7,SC:/,SC:7,SC:/
Key 338 5 44 62 2,2,8,2 red push 8,(,8,(	SC:8,SC:(,SC:8,SC:(

Key 434 5 44 62 2,2,8,2 red push 0,?,0,?	SC:0,SC:?,SC:0,SC:?
.....

Since the buttons are too smale, you have to reduce their number to f.e. 8:

Key [COLOR="Cyan"]2[/COLOR] [COLOR="SandyBrown"]5[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]56[/COLOR] [COLOR="Purple"]62[/COLOR] 2,2,8,2 red push 1,!,1,!	SC:1,SC:!,SC:1,SC:!

Key 182 5 56 62 2,2,8,2 red push 4,$,4,$	SC:4,SC:$,SC:4,SC:$
Key 242 5 56 62 2,2,8,2 red push 5,%,5,%	SC:5,SC:%,SC:5,SC:%
Key 302 5 56 62 2,2,8,2 red push 6,&,6,&	SC:6,SC:&,SC:6,SC:&
Key 362 5 56 62 2,2,8,2 red push 7,/,7,/	SC:7,SC:/,SC:7,SC:/
Key 422 5 56 62 2,2,8,2 red push 8,(,8,(	SC:8,SC:(,SC:8,SC:(

2 - x-position of the key

5 - y-position of the key

both starting from the left top corner

56 - key width

62 - key high

red push is the image name that appears by loading the keyboard. You can edit pic in the folder of the keyboard design you've choosen like BlackRed.

If you want to add some pictures, you habe to include them on the top of this file like:

ResolutionBegin 480 800

Size 480 400
[B]	Image red CSCHEME.GfxDir\key_normal_red.bmp[/B]
[B]	Image push CSCHEME.GfxDir\key_normal_pushed.bmp 0,0[/B]

Draw 0 267 480 62 controlbuttonswd
Draw 0 334 480 62 arrowbuttons
FontNormal	normal
FontHold	hold
FontSelected	selected
FontSelectedHold	selhold

After the action of the key is following:

SC:1,SC:!,SC:1,SC:!

That means: 1 is the action after a short push, ! is the action after a long push.

After caps lock: is the action after a short push, ! is the action after a long push.

For just one char you have to use SC. For more than one character use SS, like: SC:b,SS:3bla,SC:B,SS:4blub. 3 and 4 shows the number of following chars

You will have to make this layout by yourself like i already explained.

F.e.: SS:3Hi!,SS:12What's...up?,SS:3Hi!,SS:12What's...up?

Either I suck, or I suck, or I suck even more. I read through alot of pages but did not find any solution to my problem.

Hi all,

I have some problems with this fingerKeyboard2. I've installed this tool on my HTC HD with WiM6.5 and I have to say that everything is great and looks cool. However, I have some problems with sms typing. When I'm adding a contact, I don't get prompt list. I've tried this on previous keyboard and it looks that in this case it works fine. So i guess that it is something wrong with this program. Can you give me a solution to solve this kind of behaviour ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] quicksite:
Don't worry - it takes a little bit of time to figure out all of the differing specs of various phone models. The most important differentiator for apps to work properly is knowing your phone's screen resolution. The best resource to use is the "Device Database" (a Complete & Comprehensive Phone Model Database), which you can access from the top menu running across any page at XDA:

Type your basic model name (i.e. HTC Touch HD) into search box at top-left of database page; you'll easily find your phone from results list, which include photos.

You'll want to know if your phone's screen is:

QVGA (means "Quarter VGA" -- or much lower resolution than VGA)

VGA (higher-rez)

WVGA (wide-VGA... your phone's screen is oriented wide vs tall)

There's also a wide-version of QVGA.

It's good for everyone to know this basic attribute of your phone. ROM and app developers here will often release their work for just one screen-resolution, the one that is on their phone. Other users often will then adapt the original author's app or theme so that it works on devices with other resolutions.

Remember: When the author publishes work and says "all resolutions", as in the case of FingerKeyboard2, it generally means there are separate download versions, one for each of the various screen formats. But other times the app may have all resolutions "built-in", but you still have to go select that resolution in the Configurator or Options or Setup function within the app.

So, probably what is happening with you is that you either have installed the wrong version for your phone, or you have chosen an incorrect THEME to use -- one that may be for QVGA only, or VGA only, in which case it makes sense that the application tells you the resolution is not compatible.

You may know all of this, which is fine. I am writing it here just in case there are other people who are not yet familiar with this general information. So, finally, one more piece of info re screen resolutions:

The reason the different screen resolutions generally require separate download versions for an app is that the graphical theme elements are made for a specific screen size -- and if you try to run, for example, a VGA theme on a QVGA phone, all the graphics are hugely oversized... Or similarly, if you try to run a QVGA theme on a VGA screen, the lower-resolution graphics of QVGA screens will look either too small on your phone, or all blurry or pixellated. So, versions have to be graphically optimized for the type of screen you have.

It used to be easier to deal with this when there were just two dominant screen types: QVGA and VGA, but now all bets are off, as phone designers make certain phones have wider screens or taller screens to add more visual information you can see at one time.... or some screens are more square in dimension, and so the rectangle-formats of QVGA and VGA screens are all messed up on a square screen.

Hope this explanation helps someone out there! :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Karlita:
That was superb! Thank you indeed. And because of your throughlly explanation i managed to get it to work. thanks =)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Karlita:
Ooh ooh quick question, am I missing something or does this not show all the symbols?

For example I can't find "<" to be able to make <3 .. Any ideas?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] quicksite:
It's on the 1-2-3 Numbers screen; SHIFT-4

keep in mind you can PROGRAM the SHIFT-"j", "k" and "l" keys to be whatever you want them to be. I think this is done with the configurator/settings app.

So if you used the "<" symbol a lot, you could make shift-l be:

then just pick which one you need.... or you could put a bunch of math symbols there, as the "playback" for pressing shift-l ... but then you'd have to always be deleting the symbols you don't want.

Another tip:

You might want to reprogram the shift-key for "www." to actually be:

then you can use one quick-key and just insert a domain/address between the periods. glad it worked for you

problem with the space key

Hello all,

first of all GREAT APP.

second i 'm having a problem with the space key.

sometimes it doesn't work.

I mean its pressed but it shows no space.

I'm having the touch pro for the last year with

EnergyROM 'Genesis' (SYS 23016)

Anyone having similar problem ?

I have reinstalled it two times.

of course i have searched but with no luck.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
It depends what skin/language you are using. It could also be that the skin you are using doesn't have it. If that is the case, you can easily add it by editing the skin txt file on your computer and then pasting it back into the corresponding folder on your phone.

For a basic tutorial on editing skins, see my signature.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Wow, it's good to see more and more people enjoying FKB. I've been busy lately and haven't had as much time as before to devote to the FKB forum and skin development. I see Rozenthal has also been out for a while. I'll definitely be checking in when I get a chance.

My desire is still to see an app developed to easily create and edit skin files. Unfortunately writing apps is not my strength at all. I'm still trying to see if I can find someone with the talent to do it. It would be great to have a user-friendly application for the PC, where anyone can simply enter in the desired layout size, key definitions etc and in the end output a .txt file with the correct formating for FKB. Even something basic would definitely speed up the process of creating and editing skins. If anyone out there has the talent and the time to write an app like that, let us know. :)

If I remember correctly, this was the video from the 1st post.

I believe the Imagio has a 480x800 resolution just like the Touch HD, right? Which version did you install? You need the WVGA version.

Also, for anyone who is interested, Wikipedia has a nice graphic with all resolutions and their corresponding letters.

Thank You..It works great now. Im trying to add the bigkeys to the landscape but cant figure what Im doing wrong. I put the .txt file in the skins folder but nothing changed. This is what Im trying to do.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
I'm glad to hear it works now.

Okay, so you want to add a new skin file.

After you paste the txt file in the skins folder, you need to turn off FingerKeyboard and then turn it back on so it loads the newly copied skin files. By turning off and on, I mean selecting to use a keyboard other than FKB (for example the htc keyboard) and then, once you see the htc keyboard, select to use FKB again. It's a way of refreshing FKB to load the latest files.

Try that, and let me know if it works. Any new skins should automatically be activated in the Options menu of FKB once it refreshes. However, if you still don't see the new skin, go to Options and make sure it is checked. New skins will appear at the bottom of the list in Options. There, you can also uncheck skins you don't want to use.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pale Rider1:
Arrgh..still doesnt work. Not sure what Im not doing
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Do other skins work okay?

What exactly is not working?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pale Rider1:
First let me say Im new to this so I am positive Im not doing something I should be!:o

What I want to do is have the keyboard without the arrow keys in the center like in the pic. I copied the text file to my pc then I dragged it into the skins folder. Selected my language and what colors I want. I went into the touch settings and activated the stock HTC keyboard then re-selected the Fingerkeyboard but it still has the arrows in the center.

Im trying to get my keyboard to look like this pic in post#2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4341641
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
What do you mean you copied the text file to you PC?? You mean, to your PPC, right?

Well it sounds like you are doing everything right in turns of adding a new skin. Can you post the txt file you are trying to use? I want to look at it.

How many skins do you have activated? If you have more than one, are you able to switch from one to another? It just sounds like you have the right txt file, but simply need to switch from the keyboard with the arrows to the one without the arrows. In other words switch layout using the "next layout" key on the keyboard. Depending on your config settings, a single tap of the key will do it, or you might need to tap and hold.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pale Rider1:
Ok I got it! I deleted the original .txt file and replaced it with the .txt file I wanted. Not sure if thats the right way but I got it. I probably should have saved the original however.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Yeah, it seemed that your problem was along those lines. I believe you had two txt files that were named differently, so that when copying one over to the phone, the original did not get replaced. That is not a problem UNLESS both of these skins call their layout by the same name (for example "eng". This is defined at the top of the txt file). In such a case, FKB will only load one of these skins.

The best way to do it if you also want to keep the original txt file in the folder (but just not activated) is to change the name of the layout as defined in the new txt file you are pasting.

LayoutBegin eng means that FKB sees that layout as called "eng" This is what would have needed to be changed in your case.

DisplayName EN means that FKB will show "EN" on the keyboard key used to switch between layouts (it's the key that has the little arrows pointing in a circle - also used to switch to the numbers pad). This DisplayName "EN" is just for YOU to recognize a layout.

So, if you had eng1 and eng2, then those would appear in the Options menu where you can check what skins to activate.

Anyway, glad to hear you got it working. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Driver_3:
I have a problem in my TD2. I use Dutty's Leo R4 rom, installed fingerKeyboard 2.1 but i can t write 160 characters in one message when i select my lang.(greek). What is wrong? i shall add that the rom has 2.5 manilla and sms are handled by the new htc messaging app.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
Yeah, I'm using Dutty's Leo R5. I had the same problem with the htc messaging. It's not a FKB issue, because I also had that problem with other keyboards. I don't know what the problem is. I also had problems with text selection. It uses a new way of selecting text, that annoyed me - but maybe it was meant to be more finger-friendly.

Anyway, since I have never liked the HTC messaging app, I went ahead and turned it off and now I use the regular windows mobile app for messaging. If you want to do that too, you can read how to on this thread. It's pretty easy. However, if you use MMS a lot, then you might want to wait because apparently MMS is affected if you deaktivate the HTC messaging app. Not exactly sure what the details are, but they are working on a fix. I never use MMS, so I didn't care.

Posssible for FK2 not to cover soft menu keys?

Hi,

A truly excellent keyboard - but is there anyway to have the keyboard not covering the soft menu keys? Either by moving the keyboard up a bit on the screen (of my Touch HD) or avoid the arrow keys at the bottom?

BR, Jens
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
In the Options, you can select whether to show or hide the softkeys for both the portrait and landscape modes. By default, they are hidden.

As far as removing the arrows on the keyboard, you simply need to edit the skin file(s) you want to change. You can read the tutorial in my signature to learn how to edit layouts. You can also search this thread for "skin without arrows". I know I explained it a few times in this thread already. You basically have to edit the height values of the layout in the txt file. Find the correct value for your resolution that will end up hiding the arrows without hiding the spacebar etc.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] CStradling24:
This is the best keyboard by far for the WVGA devices. However, I would love to have a layout which is just like the iPhones. Very large keys and spread out and without the arrows in the middle.

Has anyone came up with something like this yet?

Thanks a lot. Simply overlooked that "show" option, but it works fine. Will now look into changing the skin...

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
I'm not sure if anyone has. Maybe I'll give it a shot when I have some time, but no promises at this point. You can look at the screenshots of my skins (see my signature for link to that post).

There's this keyboard that offers incredible typing speed, actually it comes with several layouts and you can select the one that fits you best.

I'm using it for almost a year now and it's simply wow. It's named FingertouchPRO, and as the name suggests it is a professional keyboard, meaning it has advanced functionality like T9 for multiple languages with LEARNING! and the layout can be customized in a thousand ways.

I've attached the CAB, but have a look at the videos below:

- incredible fast typing speed video 1

- multiple layouts (that's 5 keyboards in 1)

On that website there's the free version as well (1.0).

CAB File
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Hmm. the first two layouts i've seen on the video from your links are not that good, because of still many small buttons. There are surely some nice ideas like the big buttons on the right. But all of this you can also realize with the FK2, so there is no point to promote the other one keyboard here :D

I think i'll adopt the phone keyboard layout. :D

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alex.shastov:
No! Problem is not size.

If I close keyboard and open one more time - everything gona be ok!

But, if I turn the screen - the problem will repeat again every time.

The problem is that after turn the screen a bottom "menu window"s become above the keyboard.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Yes it does. You can choose this option in the FK2 settings or you can just activate T9 on your normal keyboard and then just select the FK2 ;)

It sure may be a good one, so you should open a new thread to introduce this keyboard and make some screen ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] yuppime:
You mean the built in os auto complete option? If yes, that's not T9.

T9 means pressing keys with multiple symbols, and using a built in dictionary the keyboard should guess what word the user needs to type and suggest it (or suggest several words).

Which one?
