Hey guys. I was using a Xannytech 1.7B Rom, but because of some bugs i had enough of Sense/Manila/FT3D and flash a miri 28011 standard rom (WM 6.5.3 + Titanium). And i must say that:

1) SMS Name suggestion works well now!

2) Touch the space bar everythere doesn't call the sms menu.

3) v and b buttons are working perfect.

Alls this problems/issues/bugs whatever are caused by Sense/Manila/TF3D :mad:

I'm glad to be able to use WM6.5.3 that is really more finger friendly now and its really fast and memory-saving. Opening the windows folder in total commander takes only a second now :D

i have added this program to the autostartup folder so that it runs every time i start my phone. is there a way to run it minimized or silently? now i have to press ok every time i boot my phone to confirm the language settings.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Use Default IM (attached in the post above). Install this app, go to start -> default im end set FingerKeyboard to the default keyboard.

Edit: Which program, FK oder Default IM? You don't have to add any of this program to auto start folder!

bigger buttons

hello

i just wanna know if there is some version that the letters on the keyboard are BIG. i mean, at least twice as big than the original ones.

if there is not, i wonder if somebody could tell me how to do it.

cheers,

bac
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sporting_exodus:
Brilliant! Thanks so much, works like a dream. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] linuxis:
But in landscape that hidden bar gives more free space. Would be great to know is that issue will be solved.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
FK seems just to have a little bug. It is just not able to overlap the bottom bar completely. You have to use skin with larger space button to let buttons v and b work correctly. I have already created some skins to reduce the effects of this issue, but they all are for german. I'll make some for the english layout in few days ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] speederTM:
Is ther some version of the fingerkeyboard thet run on 320 x 240 pixels???
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Do you mean the FK as a program or the skins? 320 x 240 is just qvga. So you have to download the FingerKeyb-2.1-QVGAxxxxx.cab file ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] linuxis:
Hi, i found the solution :)

There is a file: skin-01-global.txt

Line in the file: CSscheme TaskbarSize 52

Change the value eg to 100 and no more problems. Maybe it was for QVGA, I have WVGA.

No more problem. The same way you can change Vibro duration - configuration lets to set fixed values - i put 15.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] DarkPrinceByWWW:
You have to change the TaskbarSize anyway if you are using some rom with WM6.5.x and the higher bottom bar. But i only found this line in this two files: skin-02-wvga-land-00-types.txt and skin-02-wvga-port-00-types.txt.

I've changed this value to 68 and it seems to work now! Good job man!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] chikoo:
The Keyboard is good, but would be better if Glossy colors were used.

The blue in the Grey/blue scheme is not impressive at all. Use the blue used in windows xp default blue scheme. That is good color.

Installation help?

Need a little step by step help (above and beyond the initial directive) on getting this keyboard on my Nexus please.

I have the correct cab on both the device and computer... to no avail.

Really appreciate the extra help. Finding better typing e perience is key to me keeping this phone.

Isn't FingerKeyboard only for Windows Mobile Phones?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] meoled:
No it's not working.

But thank you

But I got other problem. When I write with russian keyboard the reviever just gets ?-signs instead of russian letters. But at my phone there are the russian letters shown.

(also if I write myself I just revieve message with ?-signs; but the send message is with the russian letters)

Has anybody solution for that problem? Because russian letters were the reason why I installed FingerKeyboard2; so would be really a pitty if it will not work =(

Thanks a lot!

You maybe have to activate unicode for text messages. I don't find this setting at the moment on my phone, but you can try out some of the tweak tools like tweak hd.

There are surely some skins in this thread here without arrows, just search for it ;)

Hi.. just to mention 2 problems...

1. I have download a version where greek language is included for plain text and sms with 160 chars, but when i change to portrait i cant see sms160.

2. It seems that when writing an sms there is some pixels missed (a thick line) at the top between the message box and the upper side of the keyboard (i use htc message)

Do you have any idea?

I really appreciate your work..

a must have keyboard...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] meoled:
But it's strange. So everybody whom I send message in Russian letters has to change some settings?

Also if some russian people send me messages (in russian letters) I can see the russian letters (not just ???-signs).

But if I send message with russian letters to russian people, they can't see it.

So if it's about unicode they should be able to read my (russian letters-) messages right and I shouldn't be able to read theirs. So I really think, that it is problem with FingerKeyboard.

Thanks for helping!

Special Characters - Can Not Access

I am unable to access all of those special characters that appear above normal characters.

Some work, others like the ? do not.

When I hold down the I get the feedback but nothing happens.

When I hold down the h I get 2 instead of the @

All the top row (QWERTY) access the numbers (123...) without problem.

Any suggestions???

too bad, it would have been the best keyboard out there.

Open the skin-02-wvga-land-00-types.txt in \Programs\FingerKeyboard\Skins on your device and edit this line:

Insert date and time by long keypress (hold)

Thanks to the creators for this fantastic touch keyboard.

I've solely used the default WinMo keyboard and Resco Keyboard Pro in the past because of their gesture support.

Up = Capitalizes letter

Down = Enter

Left = Space

Right = Backspace

This greatly increases typing speed if you stand still while typing. But it reduces accuracy and therefore speed if you type while you move (walking or driving). That's when I wish back the old cell phone keyboards with their physical, sensible buttons. Remember you could type SMS blindfold on the cell phone in your pocket? Try this nowadays with those touch keyboards...:D

Back to my question. As said in the title, i'd like to insert current date an time by keypress in a self defined format ("YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM" as an example). No problem with Resco Keyboard Pro, but now I'm a Fingerkeyboard fan. Is there a chance to teach Fingerkeyboard doing this?

Again, thanks for this cute Fingerkeyboard!

Will donate if this feature is available,

Does this keyboard support 6.5.5?

I'm getting an HD2 tomorrow and putting a 6.5.5 custom ROM on it, wondering if this keyboard's absolutely fantastic landscape mode will still work, removing the bottom bar (huge fan of this feature).

Also, sometimes when I'm in landscape mode and I press and hold slightly on the spacebar, I get the pop-up you normally get when you press and hold on the icon that pops up the keyboard (which is hidden under the spacebar) (that allows you to switch between 20-key, E.161, et cetera)...any way to work around this?

Bug with digits in action text

Hi creators of this lovely FingerKeyboard, I found a bug in Version 2.1.

If I add smileys or shortcuts whose Action text contains digits only, their corresponding inserted text lacks some digits.

How to reproduce this:

Fingerkeyboard Config => Smiles

-Smile2: dat = "201001"

-Smile3: test = "123456789"

Fingerkeyboard Config => Shortcuts

-Shortcut2: date = "201001"

Apply

Results are:

dat => "1001"

test => "3456789

date => "1001"

Going into Config again reveals that the "buggy" smiles and shortcut items lost their data. The key texts (dat, test, date) are still there, but the action text fields are empty.

This bug only appears if I use digits for action texts, letters work as they should.

Hi great keyboard.

I really am jealous of what you lot can do! I am really really useless with things like this!

I have managed to dowload the Finger keyboard for my Acer DX900. But I am having a teething issue. The space bar wont work. Any assistance would be most appreciated as I have to either click the work and make sure it automatically puts a space after it (doesnt always work as sometimes the word i want doesnt come up) or use the - or . key to insert a space after every word :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] aure2009:
hi. this is a great keyboard. i will never use something else. thank you so much for bringing it to us. peace!!!:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] samaliset:
OK, I finely get it fixed but I don't know how. It is great if I don't have this issue.

I am using the (FRE) AZARTY K-board and when I type the character A I get the Q instead, as if it is actually a QUARTY board. That happens only in the core text / Word / Excel but not in the Message field From.

Any idea to remedy to this problem!

Some more, I just found out the both KeyBoards FRE and ENG are using each one the caracters of the other. That means when I use the ENG KeyBoard, I get the AZARTY keyBoard (FRE) characters and when I use the FRE KeyBoard I get the QUARTY KeyBoard characters. Very strange, no?

Many thanks

English KB Problem

This is a really great keyboard!

One problem. On my Touch HD, the ENG version in portrait does not have to bottom two rows stretch all the way to the left and right margins. The top row does go edge-to-edge. When I toggle it to the GER keyboard it looks perfect. What is the best way to make the 2nd and 3rd row keys bigger in the ENG language?

I did install the WVGA version and did try a different color scheme.

Here are the screen shots.

Regards,

Gordo

Nevermind,

I just edited the .txt file for ENG using the spacing values from the GER skin by ChrisCross. Got it working that way. I must say that it is nice to be able to do some easy customizing.

Thanks!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] michi123:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Removing arrows in landscape would actually gain very small increase in size - in top row it's only 1 button, and in middle it's 3. It would also result in having 3 rows of buttons, each of whom has a different key size.

Not only that, it would make text selection / navigation much harder. So, in my opinion, there will never be a standard layout without arrows. However, you're free to create your own layout with or without them.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
We'll see about this suggestion. It's a matter of personal taste, but you do have a point there. Perhaps in some future release!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
If I'm not mistaken (sorry if I am) but Bulgarian has a very similar keyboard layout? Perhaps you could edit it and simply post it here.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Yup, we have seen this on other devices as well, with some older versions of FKBD too. It's completely random from what I can tell so far. Sometimes it will show up, sometimes not. We still haven't been able to figure out what exactly causes this.

However, your info about Q key might help. I will forward this to Exidler. Thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
English portrait layout was intentionally left with some free space on the sides. The reasons are:

- it's more comfortable to type with both thumbs while holding device

- it minimizes finger movement

- it has a traditional PCkeyboard-like arrangement of keys (more intuitive to type)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rozenthal:
Is this QVGA? If yes, we will soon publish new QVGA based on Giannis VGA files. That version will not have bottom navigational bar at all. So, be a little bit more patient!
