Keyboard Controller Icon

Hi, I made a custom icon for Keyboard Controller, but I can't use it. I tried with JWMD Icon Changer, but Keyboard Controller is the only app the program doesn't see in Settings (I can change all other icons in Settings though).

I also tried going directly to HKLM\Security\Shell\Start Info\Start\Settings\System\ but MyCpl.cpl,40 isn't there so I can't change the icons path directly.

Finally, I looked for the original icon file to replace it with my own, but I can't seem to find it.

Any help?

oh, yeah and here's the icon:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] quarky42:
I really like this program, but I can't seem to get the typing "smooth" and error free.

Without this keyboard driver installed, I can type extremely fast and pretty much error free unless I actually hit the wrong key.

With this keyboard driver installed on my Sprint Touch Pro 2, I find that typing is very tedious because of the timing of some of the actions. I've tried the default double click and long press settings. I've tried raising and lowering them. No matter what I do, keystrokes get lost (dropped) or get jumbled (out of order from when I pressed them).

Something as simple as typing the alphabet really fast results in dropped letters. Letters that simply don't show up. Double Typing the alphabet (like aabbccddeeffgg...etc) results in characters that get jumbled like xyxy.

All of my "letter" keys are programs to:

Single Click -> Default Action

Double Click -> Default Action, Default Action

Triple Click -> Default Action, Default Action, Default Action.

Some of my letter keys have a Long Press action that launches a program, does copy, paste, select all, etc.

I've tried "Emulate a Keypress" and that doesn't seem to help.

Has anyone found a way to make typing on the Rhodium Keyboard Controller as fast and as smooth as the typing without it? It is hard for me to slow down my typing but I have to in order for all the characters to come out correctly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
Emulation ("multiple actions") takes time. The driver is waiting to see if you're going to press just the once, twice or three times. My recommendation is not to remap your letter keys, or if you want to change one key to one different key, use direct mapping. If you can't resist multiple actions, alter the timeouts in options to receive quicker response times, but there is still going to be a delay.

I have program launches tied to FN+letter keys, and I direct remapped the mail button to CRTL so I can do copy/paste combos with them, but otherwise, I leave them be. The mailbox key, the front buttons, favorites and symbol are the only ones I use "multiple action" remapping for, because the delay isn't an issue for them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
You can adjust the timeouts yourself as I suggested, they're in options in the driver.

My phone doesn't have a ctrl key either, the SMS or mail key would be excellent for a CTRL key -- I used the mail key.

I haven't seen the dev in this thread for a while, but your suggestions will have to wait for him.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] quarky42:
I have adjusted the timeouts. It didn't make typing fast any better. I made the doubleclick timeout as low as possible (200ms) and the long press timer is up pretty high. No effect. If i type to fast, it drops some characters, gets other characters backwards from how I typed them. If I type the same message slowly, it works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sansnil:
For what its worth, I did see this typing but only when I had assigned two or three click functions. The long click function doesnt cause the issue for me. Now I only use the multi click functions on keys I seldom use and for common keys like letter just the long click function. Maybe that will work for you too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] quarky42:
How do you use the long click function only on letters?

If I only assign a long click function, then the letter won't type at all.

Example: If I assign Copy to "C" under "Long Press" and I don't assign anything to single, double, or triple click then I can't type "C" any more when I am typing.

This is why thought I was missing something earlier... it seemed silly to have to tell the driver that I really want to type the letter C when I'm typing. I expected to have to tell it what to do for the Long Press.

If you have a way to assign a Long Press to C without having to assign "Default Action" to the other clicks, then I'm all ears.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sansnil:
Sure, you just have to assign a single click action to the letter key which is assigned to do the default key action. Then assign a long click function and they will single click as the letter and long click whatever you want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] quarky42:
That is exactly what I've done and it fails to keep up with me when I am typing fast. Letters show up out of order from how I typed them and other letters simply don't show up at all. There are "timing" issues here.

Single Click = Default Action

Double Click = Default Action (listed in there twice so it will do 2 letters)

Triple Click = Default Action (listed in there three times so it will do 3 letters.)

If I don't put in the double click and I try to write 2 letters like "cc" then it doesn't write properly.

On Long Press I have the action that I want performed.

When setup like this, the keyboard driver does not type smoothly when I am typing as fast as I can. If I slow down, then it will type smoothly. It is very hard for me to slow down.

I'll try using the SMS key or the FN+Key (Long Press) to do all my actions from now on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sansnil:
It's close but not exactly the same.

The problem is that you're still defining an action for the double-click by adding the default event twice, not skipping it entirely by leaving the action undefined. Same as by defining a triple click -- you need to leave both double and triple totally undefined or else the system will look for them.

Try this set up.

For instance, on mine on the the letter 'C' key as follows I have:

1) For letter C, key mode = Multiple actions, Event = Click, just one action set to emulate the behavior of selected key = Current (extended emulation unchecked)

2) Event = Double click, key mode still = multiple actions but NO actions defined

3) Event = Triple click, key mode still = multiple actions but NO actions defined

4) Event = Long press, key mode = multiple action, action defined to be ctrl+c (copy function)

On my device I typing c once in a string of typing doesn't slow it down or skip, and if I hit cc twice (or more) quickly they all show up. The timing hiccup is when the key is set to a double/triple click and has to pause an appropriate length of time to measure if multiple keys will be hit.

Hope this works for you, if not, I'm afraid it must just be a difference between devices.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] quarky42:
That was the way I had it setup, but that was on the previous version of the driver and it didn't work. Pressing cc would just give c instead. I will try it again setup that way on this latest version of the driver and see if it works properly on this version / device combo.

Thanks for taking the time to make suggestions. I'll be glad to give it a try again.

EDIT: Seems to work for c. I'll change all my keys back to that way and give it a shot. The older driver that I had been using (before I upgraded to WinMo 6.5) would not display a c if I typed cc. It wouldn't do anything. This version seems to have that fixed. I guess I missed that in the changelog. (no good excuse here, but I do have a head cold so I'm not all there right now)

EDIT2: MUCH BETTER! Thank you very much! Sorry that I hadn't tried this sooner. (I thought I had tried it when I imported my old XML file, but it was the one created with the old version so I had to go through and correct a bunch of key codes because they were all "-1" instead of the actual code. While I was at it, I tried to "fix" the typing bug that I had with double letters without verifying that it was still an issue in this version.)

Anyway, thanks to everyone for your help, patience, and advice. Sorry it took me a while to "take two steps back" like I should have.

Sprint Stock 6.5 release

The keyboard controller does not work on the resent rom release from HTC and Sprint... Please advise an alternative solution or if the original author is even interested in solving this new issue...

THank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] quarky42:
I am using the keyboard controller on the new HTC Sprint WinMo v6.5 ROM and it is working much better than the older version that I had on the old ROM, once I got some help here in learning the correct way to set it up.

So please understand that the problem you are experiencing can probably be solved. I too had problems of a different sort.

My suggestion to you: Install the newest version of the keyboard controller. Remove any old settings you might be using, and set your keys up fresh. I had big problems going from an old .XML file to the new keyboard controller software. I also had problems when I setup a double and triple click action... I am using only a single click and a long press action. The single click is the default key action. The long press is what ever special function I want. (I found that keys that I setup from my old .xml file would not work at all as in no typing what so ever. When I deleted the setting and recreated it, then the keys started typing again.)

I still have a problem with letters not being typed or being typed out of order if I start typing immediately after putting the cursor in a text field. If I wait a sec it types smoothly. A brief wait is a small price to pay. The rest of the time it is fast and smooth.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shawndh:
I've been using the v1.3 of this software under stock T-Mobile 6.1 ROM for a while with no problems. But since I've upgraded to 6.5, I've been having problems with v1.3 and v1.4 with the on-screen start menu and settings menu being unresponsive after install. I've tried at least 4 differernt ROMs with the exact same behavior. Not sure what to do about this.

All I'm doing is mapping the back button to a program called "task switch" that will allow my to quickly toggle back and forth btwn open programs. The ROMs will work fine until I put RKC on and then after a while, the start and settings menus are unresponsive. Anyone else have this problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thegob:
on Sprint's new 6.5 rom and I can get keyboard config to open/close the camera app. What looks to have changed is that the 'enter' key no longer takes the picture. Anyone know of another solution to get the camera app to take a picture w/ keyboard config?

Thanks!

i'm here :) the fact i don't write here doesn't mean i'm not here :)

i know there are many people who want to have remapper working on newest 6.5 ROMs and even on other devices, but unfortunately i can't make this possible currently

the main problem is that i haven't a free device which i can develop and test on - my Rhodium is always in use and it must be always ready-to-go

simple example: this is exactly if you asked someone to make a HardSPL for device without device itself :)

yes, i can continue to implement new features for existing remappers (Raphael, Topaz, Rhodium), but this will be very slowly since i can't use my device for this purpose all the time

also, i don't plan to buy any new device in near future

hope this post explains why there is no remappers development currently

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] CLHatch:
Any news of a bug-fix for the problem I posted about earlier, where if you re-mapped the Power button, when the device returns from Standby it runs the "Hold Power" routine?

I'm pretty sure it does this because you hit the Power button to bring the device into Standby, then when you hit Power again to bring it back, the driver thinks that Power had been held all that time, so sees it as a "Hold Power".

I know it does this on Rhodium, RhodiumW, Hermann and Raphael (in other words, Touch Pro and Touch Pro2, both CDMA and GSM).

Yup. I use arrow keys to turn pages in one of my reader programs when right-handed, then when I flip it go left-handed, have a couple of letters tasked to do up and down in that application only. Everywhere else they're still letters.

Please help me with your fantastic app. Probably the most elementary question you are getting - but, I cannot (for the life of me) figure out how to simply remap the volume up and down keys to scroll up and down.

I'm really sorry if this is a nuisance of a question.

RKB v.1.4 works great with Sprint WM6.5 Upgrade

I installed Rhodium Keyboard Controller v. 1.4 after upgrading my HTC TP2 OS from WM6.1 to WM6.5 and both the device and RKC are working perfectly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shahriar5252:
Hi Tarkim:

I installed your CDMA keyboard controller V1.4 on my new CDMA Sprint Touch Pro2, which I have upgraded to the new stock ROM for wm6.5. It works fine on only the windows button and the return button. On the power button, whether single or long click, it does nothing despite being assigned to its default tasks for both the single and the long clicks. In fact, it disables the key completely unless I click on it ten times for it to turn off the device. The same for the send and end buttons.

Another bug in version 1.4 is with the long-click volume up/down buttons. The volume up/down buttons have to be clicked repetitively for the volume to go down. That is, the hold-button feature to scroll the volume up and down is disabled for both vol up and down buttons. This problem with the volume buttons occurs in spite of NOT having assigned them to your keyboard controller.

I searched these problems out, and others in PPCGeeks have reported the same issue. But they had also reported that when they switch to V1.3.2, the keys started working properly. I installed ver1.3.2 on my device, and it worked. However, the problem with up/down volume buttons is present in this version as well. And off course, multi-function with each click is not available in ver1.3.2. One more bug with v1.3.2 is that the long-click power button can be assigned to run any application or task except its default function, which is to bring up the menu for powering off the device.

If you can make new versions of your keyboard controller for CDMA Touch Pro2, I will be glad to test it and report to you if the problems have been corrected.

By the way, version 1.4 for that I had installed on my original CDMA Sprint Touch Pro worked fine on all the buttons with the exception of the long-click hold power button, which kept doing the same thing as single-click power button despite having been assigned to different tasks. In fact, I could never get the long-click power button to do its default task, which is to bring up the original menu that gives the option of powering off the device.

Ok, so let me know if you have any news or fixes please. I really need this program. Thank you.

Are you sure you are using the stock HTC/Sprint Stock ROM for wm6.5 upgrade? I tried it on my brand new Sprint TP2 with the wm6.5 stock ROM upgrade and ver1.4 did not work as I have described above. Does your volume up/down buttons have the faulty problem that I have described above?

Thanks a million!

Until now, I've been using "HappyTappingKeyboard" with HTC-PocketPutty to get special key combos like CTRL+C ESC TAB INSERT DEL, etc. and it's been a major pain to keep switching soft-keyboards and then the terminal kept resizing. With this I could map most of the left half of my TP2 keyboard to FN+key becomes CTRL+key; and other stuff like Shift+1 for excape

You have no idea how much more user friendly you just made my phone for terminal sessions -- words can not describe the difference!

command line - import settings support

Hey, Tarkim,

Thank you for making this application. I practically have a new phone for the usability I get out of it.

Would you consider adding command line import/update config support to the driver? I flash an EnergyROM about every 2-3 days lately it seems, and this would be helpful.

or

Is it possible to get the config loaded through registry keys so I can use XDA_UC or similar?

My config:

PTT click - launch email

PTT 2 click - launch messenger

PTT hold - task manager

back button 2 click - close app.

back button hold - 3d alt-tab (not working great, maybe because I'm on 6.5.5, but cool to see)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] adoute:
I use v1.3.2 on EnergyROMs, and flash every time a new one comes out. I restore ALL of my RhodiumKbdControl settings by importing a reg file that has [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KeyboardConfig] and everything under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KeyboardConfig\Keys]. Works great.

Hi Tarkim and everybody on this thread.

Congratulations and thank you so much for your hard work. I installed the application and it seems wonderful!

Have only one doubt: I know it is possible to use it to make qwerty hard keyboard produce letters such as à, è and ç that we use in portuguese, but I dont know exactly how to do it. I searched the thread, but I found nothing about that. Could someone give me a hint?

Just one note -- DO NOT CONFIGURE ANY KEY TO CLOSE THE START MENU!

I was trying to make a key carry out some macros for the start key, but only when it was in the start menu. In the process, I told it to close the start menu since I didn't want it to be showing when (for example) I powered off the screen. I have it set so when I go to the start menu, clicking start again blanks the screen and clicking back goes to the today screen. That's when I found this problem.

Effect: closing the start menu means you can't get to it, or to the settings menu anymore.

Resolution: Soft-reset. Then, immediately use the screen to tap Start > Settings > Keyboard and re-configure your shortcuts.

Workaround: If you want to close the start menu, BE SURE to select "Minimize instead of closing" so you don't get locked out of it.
