For those guys still not getting the bottom bar to work if its covered by Fingerkeyboard (hide bar - option) under WM 6.5.X try this:

open "skin-01-global.txt" (program files/fingerkeyboard/skins)

and under

CSCHEME.SelectedOpacity

create a new Line with

CScheme TaskbarSize 100

than open up "skin-02-wvga-land-00-types" (program files/fingerkeyboard/skins)

and under

CScheme.SelectedOffset

ChildWnd 0

create:

CScheme TaskbarSize 100

now go to "skin-02-wvga-port-00-types.txt" (program files/fingerkeyboard/skins)

and under

CScheme.SelectedOffset

ChildWnd 0

create:

CScheme TaskbarSize 100

Of course save the settings to the files, if you edit this on your Device and Word Mobile asks you to transfer this to word-document, say no. Than go to Fingerkeyboard Settings, launch it, let it reload the keyboard and exit it, now it should work fine.

I read this in the past several times, using Taskbarsize 68, but on WM 6.5.5 it didnt do the trick for me so i changed it to 100, changing only skin-1-global.txt didnt do it also. so i changed all 3 files and now i dont have any problems anymore with the bottombar while it is covered by fingerkeyboard.

I just wrote down what i've read here, spread over the whole thread, but since i find a few "wm 6.5.x fixes" they only just contain skin-1-global.txt and there are still to much people having this problem, so i put this alltogether, if it isn't working for you just let me know. If you wish, i can upload you the 3 edited files.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
You have to edit skin-01-global.txt and set CScheme TaskbarSize to 68 only to fix the problem like the one on the screenshot:

It shouldn't fix the problem, that FK doesn't overlay the bottom bar correctly if you are using the "hide bottom" option in the FK settings and the SIP menu appears if you push the space button.

Your way to set the taskbarsize to 100(px) seems to solve this problem, but you don't have to edit all this three files.

Actually, to edit the skin-01-global.txt should be enough, but you have to set the "hide bottom bar" for portrait AND landscape. If you only use this option for landscape, you have to set the taskbarsize for portrait to 68:

Edit "skin-02-wvga-port-00-types.txt" (program files/fingerkeyboard/skins)

from Taskbar CSCHEME.TaskbarSize to Taskbar 68.

Reload the Keyboard.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] apsis:
Strange, only editing the skin-1-global.txt didnt worked for me, but doesn't matter its working now, and the two other entries wont damage anything.

Just one thing still annoys me, if i softreset the device, the bug is back again - i have to reload the keyboard after each softreset to avoid that bug, isn't it possible to let this even after softreset work? i tried "reloadonhide 1" in skin-1-global.txt but it isnt working for me. Any other ideas?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Which bug exactly?

Edit: The SIP menu appearing bug return after a soft reset also on my blackstone. I think we just have to use some clean roms without the htc build in keyboard to get FK running well.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] apsis:
I mean the SIP Menu appearing Bug, yes.

I just wonder what "ReloadOnHide" loads other than the skin-1-global.txt . within the skinbuildinginfo it says that "reloadonhide" reloads the keyboard on each Hide, i wonder if it would be possible to change it that way, that everytime you hide the Keyboard it will reload skin-1-global.txt

Why do you think the HTC Keyboard corrupts Fingerkeyboard?

When i used another Rom i just had to change the Taskbarsize once and after that it was beeing remembered even after Softreset, so i didnt have to Launch Fingerkeyboard Settings all the way. I thought some WM 6.5.x Position Fix may break this behaviour, i use AmeBa Position Fix - but i dont have any Idea what i should add to its Blacklist to see if it helps.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
Thanks for clarifying. I figure you mean multiple fonts per layout for either FontNormal, FontHold, FontSelected, FontSelHold.

I tried redefining the Fonts in the middle of of the layout, but it didn't work. So yeah, I think we're only limited to one font per category, per layout.

@apsis

If you use 100 instead 68, you'll find that if you enable "ChildWnd 1" you will now have a gap of 32 pixels between your taskbar and keyboard. I checked for screen redraw errors and found the number 68 to be correct, then searched and found other threads that say it should be 68 too.

You're actually probably missing a definition in your types file.

"CScheme TaskbarSize	68" only defines the constant CSCHEME.TaskbarSize==68

Under your TYPES files, look for this:

ResolutionBegin 800 480
Size 800 240
Taskbar CSCHEME.TaskbarSize <--------- IMPORTANT LINE
SelectedOffset CSCHEME.SelectedOffset
ChildWnd 0

The thing to understand is, if you have the entry "CScheme TaskbarSize <n>" BEFORE the "ResolutionBegin <width> <height>" nest, you're actually defining the constant CSCHEME.TaskbarSize.

If you have the entry "Taskbar <n>" INSIDE "ResolutionBegin <width> <height>" nest, then you're telling FingerKeyB to set the offset as <n>.

The alternative explanation is, somewhere between your global file and your types file, there may be an extra "CScheme.TaskbarSize <n>" defined somewhere it shouldn't really be. So what your fingerkeyboard might be doing is this:

load global file -> define CSCHEME.TaskbarSize==68

load action file -> redefine CSCHEME.TaskbarSize==52 (erroneous line)

Take home message is, you only need THREE lines:

"CScheme TaskbarSize	68" - in your GLOBAL file

"Taskbar CSCHEME.TaskbarSize" - inside your "ResolutionBegin <width> <height>" for all your TYPES files (one for each resolution, eg. landscape WVGA and portrait WVGA)

delete any other line that even remotely has the word "taskbar" from every other skin*.txt file you have.

Re: "ReloadOnHide"

This reloads fingerkeyb (ie. re-reads your whole skin directory). It's only useful if you make a change to the txt files and you want to reload it quickly to test.

@apsis & DarkPrinceByWWW

Re: your dastardly SIP menu popping up annoyance, this is actually HTC's ezinput interfering. It basically intercepts any touchscreen presses over where the SIP button should be, even if fingerkeyb is drawing over the taskbar.

Change this registry entry:

\HLKM\Software\HTC\ezsip\EnableSipMenu=0

and soft-reset
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] apsis:
Thx, that's an awesome Explanation - but because my english isn't the best and i dont know much about coding, i dont understand everything. But im pretty much happy with the Regkey you told us, it's exactly what i was looking for, now i dont have to start the Configprogram after each Softreset, thx :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Thank you man! Where have you been all the time?! Finally we got rid of this stupid "bug" :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
Well, I just switched from the X1 with hardware keyboard to HD2... so I'm forced to use the SIP. Been tweaking with fingerkeyb for the last 3 weeks as I wasn't happy with the default layout (particularly the iphone/touch input erroneous third row offset).

The ezinput SIPMenu registry was actually posted here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6274925&postcount=21 so I can't take credit. It is near unsearchable without the right keywords, and actually I stumbled onto the post (I was actually trying to remove HTC Messages at the time). You can't actually remove ezinput easily (I tried removing ezinput/ezsip registry references / CLSIDs / services twice -> hard reset... twice).

Fingerkeyboard2 needs a refresher and I will start a new thread and post my layouts soon. I'm hoping exidler will allow me to re-cab his SIP... I changed EVERYTHING (except for the core dll and register.exe) to hopefully make it more intuitive. Unfortunately that also makes it incompatible with rozenthal's stuff.

Someone knows how to disable the windows own word suggestion after installing the attached cab from the first site?

In one of the miri roms sms name suggestion was working with the HTC xT9 and Fk, but in the energy roms it doesn't work. Any tweaks which can fix it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
WM SIP word suggestion

I think HTC sense removes some of the original WM settings tabs. I couldn't find a lot of usual settings once I started using custom ROMs with sense installed.

The registry tweak you want is this:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Control Panel\Sip\SuggWords=0
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Yeah, nice, now FK works the way i want it to :D Thank you!

I don't know if the miri rom was one with sense, but it definitely was one with WM6.5.3. I think it was a blank windows rom completely without sense or any htc stuff. I'm using energys titanium series, which are actually without sense. I think, energy still putting many packages from htc, so word suggestion doesn't work without deactivating xT9 completely.

The answer you will find on one the page before:

Changing the registy key to 0 should actually also solve the problem with the buttons.

I have this problem, and tried this, but it didn't change anything.

Could someone help me please?

I use a HTC Touch HD with grzegorz10 Dusk Ultimate v5.40.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
That might actually still be the HTC SIP menu interfering, trying to intercept screen presses where the SIP button is overlaid. Try this registry change as I stated earlier:

\HLKM\Software\HTC\ezsip\EnableSipMenu=0

and soft-reset

Otherwise you can try editing both the landscape and portrait types files, and change:

ChildWnd 1

If that fixes it then there's something interfering/intercepting button presses at the bottom taskbar.

(Which brings me to think, I wonder if people who have installed AMeBa and have WM6.5.x have issues with the bottom two corners of the keyboard when it overlays the taskbar............ AMeBa intercepts screen presses where the start and X buttons are)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
I have WM6.5.5 with AMeBa and had the same problems until the registry hack.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
So I guess AMeBa is smarter than HTC ezinput in figuring out whether the taskbar is hidden/overlaid or not.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Smarter? I can use the space bar finally only after using you registry hack. So why is Ameba smarter?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
What I meant was, AMeBa doesn't interfere with fingerkeyb. AMeBa also intercepts screen presses, but over the Start button and the X button.

HTC ezinput intercepts screen presses over the SIP button but it can't tell when fingerkeyb is drawn on top of the taskbar. AMeBa doesn't seem have this problem.

Hello everyone!

I'm a bit of a noob on the subject so I'd appreciate your help! :D

Is it possible to change the pred txt on this amazing keyboard?

I'd like to modify the original english text to portuguese...

Is it possible to do so without messing with registry files??

Does someone know if there is a file with pred portuguese text already out there?

Thank you for your help!!!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Aah, ok, got it. Right, Ameba doesn't interfere with FK. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
What predefined txt do you actually mean? Do you mean the RR33 skins? If so, this is the wrong thread ^^ Otherwise just start FK Options and change the shortcuts and smilies tabs to fit your needs.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
Do you mean predictive text? You mean windows mobile's suggested words? They work independently of fingerkeyb, but I'm afraid I can't help more than that. I don't use any of the predictive text / suggested words stuff. You should get your answers in the other forums.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Boysa22:
Some problems

Hello,

Your work is great and impressive I like it very much.

However I have 2 problems, that I cannot solve.

My device is HTC HD2. I use Elegance GTX Custom ROM.

1. When the keyboard is in Landscape and the Bar is hidden the keys next to the Space are not reacting when you press them. These are key "B" and key "V". When you have Show Bar enable, the keys are working fine.

2. When you type a name in the box of the recipient you would expect that some contact suggestion would pop up. But this is not the case. When you delete one letter, then you have some suggestions. For example, you type An and expect to get Anna as suggestion you do not get anything. Then you delete "n" and then you have suggestion for Anna.

If you can help me resolve these problems I will be very grateful :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rocklovelive:
Excuse my stupidity, but could you explain how to do the second option. The first one just doesn't work.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Spl4tt:
well.. and if u would read my post before his u would see that it doesnt work

dont know why, i did set the regkey to 0, but the sip menu still pops up, doesnt matter if i use fingerkeyboard or not

EDIT: and btw, i searched very long for a solution, never found one.. now in ur modproject thread i found a solution, but it seems it doesnt work for some roms?

would love to finally use the keyboard that way again, its awsome without bars
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
Now, to clarify, when I talk about the ezsip menu interfering with fingerkeyb, this is what happens:

Only occurs when your keyboard overlays the taskbar

When you press where the keyboard deploy button should be on the taskbar, you occasionally get a menu items like this:

This should be fixed by:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\ezsip]

"EnableSipMenu"=dword:00000000

If not, you could also try disabling the TouchInput SIP:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36BC8FF6-8241-4C36-ABDE-204885471FEE}\IsSIPInputMethod]

@="0"

I'm including the reg file I use to make the changes easier (import with your favourite registry editor). It does 5 things:

disable HTC TouchInput (aka ezinput, aka ezsip)

disable the HTC ezsip menu

enable MS Keyboard

turn ON auto deploy

turn OFF windows suggested words

Don't forget to soft-reset after the above.

If the above doesn't work, then you'll have to make do the only other workaround I know of:

Edit BOTH skin-02-wvga-land-00-types.txt and skin-02-wvga-port-00-types.txt (or wqvga/vga/wvga equivalent)

Change "ChildWnd 0" to "ChildWnd 1"

Save and reload FingerKeyb
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Spl4tt:
im sry, i dont want to make u angry or something.. but i did again, exactly what u have written here, and it didnt work.

both reg keys are changed correctly, checked it.

and after editing the two textfiles, it just switched back to visible bars.. (thats what its supposed to to i think? :P)

well ok, maybe its just the rom. gonna flash a new one today anyway, lets see if it works then. thank u anyway
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inks:
@D4rkSoRRoW

Sorry I don't really know then. Maybe it's because it's a different version of HTC ezinput installed on the ROM that behaves differently. Maybe it's some other program interfering.

The only other suggestions I have are:

1) find an updated version of EzInput that's cabbed, or

2) search through your registry for keys/value/data associated with "ezsip" or "ezinput" and tweak, or

3) find another ROM

Btw the EzInput version I have is IME_EzInput_Western 2.1.2011.2821 (the version number is found in HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD\IME_*)

I have noticed that if I am browsing with Opera 10, and go to address bar, I try selecting the FingerKeyboard for the keyboard I wish to type with, but each time I press on it from the middle menu button, it won't show. The only keyboard that will show on the screen is the standard keyboard on the HD2.

But I am able to use the FingerKeyboard when doing text messages, emails, etc... But just unable to use it while browsing with Opera 10.

Any ideas?

Am using: FingerKeyb-2.1-WVGA.cab

Have also noticed that when composing a new text message, and I type in the "to" box, usually if I type the letter F, then all the contact under F loads up on the screen (that's what it usually does if I use the standard HTC keyboard.) But this DOESN'T happen when using FingerKeyboard.

Again, any idea's or tip on how to overcome my 2 problems would be fantastic, as I really do enjoy using FingerKeyboard more!

After installing, the keyboard switched to Finger Keyboard. Looks good. But the keys are all wrong. Every key in the alpha mode gives out "@" and "." only. While in numeric mode, the numbers gives out letters in T9 mode, except in reverse.

But that's ok. All i'm after is the cut-copy-paste function. Which all worked as should be.

When i reboot it, here comes the big problem. The phone will hang at start up. Never get passed the Enter PIN screen. Total freeze. I had to take out the battery. But it's always freeze when i restart. There's no other choice for me now except to hard reset.

I have to check the manual how to hard reset manually.

Hello to all

I'm using Fingerkeyb 2.1 WVGA for my Topaz which runs on WWE ROM with HTC messaging client 1.5 (Cheetah 4.2R).

As I'm greek I want to sent SMS with greek characters but the problem is that often when a word reaches the right end of the messaging box the cursor jumps 5 or 6 spaces after the last letter. This is not real 5-6 spaces though, because when I press backspace it deletes the last character without coming close to it (that is the 5-6 spaces still exist).

Also when I try to correct/change a previously written word it messes characters up making impossible to read the word

As this never happened to me using ROMs without HTC messaging, I suppose there is some conflict of HTC messaging with greek characters.

Can someone confirm this conflict or is it something else I should do?

This is a custom ROM problem. Also happens with stock keyboard and DIFFERENT devices! (like my HD2)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] davidshooki:
This is a great work!!!!

The one thing that I would like to change is the size of the keys.

I am using HTC HD2. the stock HTC HD2 keyboard has significantly larger keys and uses the full width of the massive screen. On the other hand, Finger Keyboard2 has more space in-between the keys. More importantly, there is alot of space between the left and right edges of the screen and the keyboard (between the screen edge and the "a", "L", "," and "." keys). that's essentially a wasted space that can be utilized for bigger keys that are even easier to click on (bigger is better, right?).

If anyone can explain to me how to change the keys' size to fit to the edge of screen, I would be very grateful.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bopper3000:
Hi everyone,

I love the FingerKeyboard, great work!

I installed the xt9disable cab file, to get the suggested contact names when I type in a letter, and then with the registry editor I turned off the suggested words, because I did not this part. This all works great :D

One thing I would like to get rid off is the predictive text. I tend to use very short abbreviated versions of words when texting people. If I go to type 'wel' and then space, it automatically changes to 'We'll', if I type 'il' it will change to 'I'll'...etc.

Does anyone know how to turn this off? maybe in the registry editor?
