Its running after following your advise. Many thanks. :D

Yesterday's bug in the display in the beta version has gone now. If possible please provide a darker blackish theme in the final version.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
I've uploaded a new version in which it isn't necessary to run the main app first.

What do you mean with a darker blackish theme? I was planning to add some themes and the first would be the old black key - white character theme. Is that the theme you mean?
[Android Apps and Games] parthabhatta:
Thanks for the updated version. Will download it.Yes this is the theme I was asking for.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Ok, good to know.
[Android Apps and Games] Nandeh:
i propose some ideas:

1.- add a num pad at left on landscape mode :)

2- not sure if it's posible, add a hidden scrollable num pad (that appears pressing a key) on normal mode (at left too)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
Is the main all always visible?

I don't like having apps in my drawer that i don't use.

Keyboard options are available in the settings anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] bubattolo:
I liked this keyboard from the first time and I'm happy that is getting better.

But the "i" doesn't have the accented variants, and in italian it is needed
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
1. What do you mean a numpad besides the letter keys? Or do you mean a numpad on the left instead of on the right at the symbol/number keyboard?

2. I can add a popup num pad at all keyboards. (like the half finished/easter egg :p num pad that will show up when you press and hold the "12@" key in the compact mode. "Problem" with this construction is that you only can type one number at a time).

Your argument seems sound so I will look at it.

BTW I don't like the way contingent design decisions has lead to the current keyboard setting menu in Android. It's too messy if you more than one keyboard installed, and for new users it's a idiosyncratic idea (I have this from feedback from new users. ). I think it's a hassle to go all the way to the Android settings menu to make a keyboard setting change. Especially when you are in the middle of typing something That's why the options of the thumbkeyboard are accessible from the keyboard itself (consider that as a usability bonus :p )

Also a lot of people wonder where the keyboard is gone after they installed it, that's why I made a drawer entry in the first place. It's not for settings but it contains some info and general instructions to activate the keyboard... Nevertheless it will be in the future the entry point for some extra add ons like for example a typing exercise game.

That's an onmission :o The accented i variants are implemented in the compact layout but not in the large layout. Thanks for noticing! Of course I will repair this asap.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
A done, B done in the new 1.5.1 version (+ some more things)
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
i don't know any keyboard that doesn't have that options-button so i take it for granted ;)

if it serves a purpose i'm fine with it - it just would be annoying to have it sitting there after serving it's sole purpose of activating something.

also a lot of people wonder where their widgets are gone after they installed them so this isn't a fault to be overcome by filling up the app drawer but either by educating users (futile effort - i know) or by offering the choice to disable the app drawer icon (or even better: if it serves only activating purposes automatically disabling it so it doesn't show after the next reboot).
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
no no, only thumb keyboard has this. It is one of its unique features. With it you can access the Settings HD © menu experience :) :D

Yes, ok, thanks for your feedback. It's maybe a good idea.
[Android Apps and Games] kindred7:
hi, the keyboards looking rly great, keep it up

just one question, is there a reason why you switched the theme of the keyboard? i rather liked the black keyboard
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
I wanted to make a theme in which the letter keys stand more apart from the other keys. I thought that it could help people in getting familiar with the new qwerty layout. A theme with white letter keys was more suitable for that than a theme with black keys.

But, it would be really easy to incorporate the old black theme. In the next version it will be added as a selectable theme. Maybe I do some more themes.

The new framework will make it easy to add new themes. I even want to look at a way in which users themself can theme the keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] haggisman14:
Awesome keyboard. Only diwnside is that u wont recognize any autocorrects...Will this be addressed?
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Sure, but it will take a little while. I first want to spend my time on some other thrilling projects :)
[Android Apps and Games] emelie:
what are your other projects? sorry i lost track ;)
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Experimental beta coming up tomorrow ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Once in a while I get a email from someone, asking to add this or that feature. I appreciate feedback, but I want users to know that I decided to only update the market (paid) version. Meaning that there will be two version, a lite one published here and for free, and a full one, published on the market.

The market version will be continuously updated with new features, layouts etc. (For example the current full version contains two seperate layouts for 7" tablets as well as 10" tablets).
[Android Apps and Games] VDub2174:
I'm definitely gonna try the lite version before I buy. It looks like this may be a keeper though :)
[Android Apps and Games] swindoe:
In the market version, is there a word correction built in?...if so I will def purchase

sent from my SwinDroid on www.PlanetSwindoe.com
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Not yet, but I'm planning to build this in in the future. Can't do any promisse yet about when this will be added. I'm having also other great plans with this keyboard. I want this keyboard to be the best. And no this is not commercial bla bla. I love the concept that much that I want to invest in it.
[Android Apps and Games] ikroot:
Bottom row problems

Love the app - using the market version (just bought it today!) on a Droid2 Global. I'm a long-time thumb typer, and have been looking for this. I'm hitting a fair number of miskeys, but I'm sure that will improve with practice, and like everyone else I'd love predictive/correcting capabilities. But my big issue is that for some reason, using the Phone-Large Layout, the space bar, period, and return key on the bottom row (in portrait mode) often lag in responsiveness occasionally with as much as a full second lag before the space bar "kicks in", or don't respond at all. But sometimes they work fine. I can't figure out what the pattern is yet, or if there's a pattern, to this lack of response. Doing quick multiple presses on any other key on the keyboard works fine, but not those keys. Any suggestions for how to improve the responsiveness of the bottom row keys?

(By the way, I am NOT using a phone sleeve/protector/cover, so there's no physical barrier there.) Great idea for an app - keep working on it, and you'll have made my Android experience a whole lot more enjoyable!
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
I have to look into this. I've tried the keyboard (Large layout-portrait) on a Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Tab and unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem you describe. But then again another user reported about a bottom row problem on the Nook Color and there's a tiny littly problem with the big space keybar in landscape mode. So I will definitely scan the code to see if there's something odd going on.

Can you reproduce the problem on the small-layout keyboard? Or on any other layout?

(BTW text prediction/auto correction will be available real soon... I have it working yet, just have to make some adjustments and do some bug fixing)
[Android Apps and Games] faceqt:
Would purchase instantly if there was word prediction..
[Android Apps and Games] ikroot:
Bottom row problems

Yep. Just tried it on the compact and standard keyboards, and the response is exactly the same. But using the tablet 7" layout 1, it works fine. Perhaps because bottom row keys are taller in height?

Thanks for the quick response!
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
I would say: come and get it :D A version with text prediction is released today

(currently just 5 languages: English, Dutch, German, French and Italian, More to come in the future)

Thanks for your responds. Maybe it is to much asked but could you check version 1.4.1 (attached to the first post)? Another user had some problems (other, but maybe related problems) that doesn't occur with the 1.4.1 version.

BTW text prediction is implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] faceqt:
Purchased, problem is, do you need a lite version installed? I downloaded and now its gone. Can't select it at all.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
An app called "thumb keyboard" will be installed in your drawer. When you launch it it will display a page with some info and instructions about how to activate the keyboard. I know it is not straightforward, but you first have to activate the keyboard in the preference/keyboard screen of android. That's the standard procedure of installing a new keyboard. Until you haven't activate it, you can't select it.

Capital letter!

Hello!

Hello again from Slovenia. Was working a lot, so now time for replay!

First a have to say that you are doing a great great job. I like this keyboard a lot and I am using it every day. Great job with smileys and special letters ŠČŽ!

One thing I still don't understand why is there no capital letter after ? or ! finishing word. It is just after "." So is there any particular reason for that or what??

Thanks for your work. Will donate you absoluttley.

Greatings from slovenia :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Thanks for your compliments. (That's a great compliment that you are using it everyday as your major text inputting method).

In the full version all those things, like capitals after punction marks that are marking the end of a sentence are addressed. It is difficult to update the light version because I changed some algorithms... (Nevertheless I will see what I can do)

Instead of donating I advice you to get the full version. It has text prediction, themes, layout for thumb typing on tablets and mini tablets and some other things like double space->period substitution, full-screen text editors suppression for landscape etc . I am planning to update that version on a very regular basis.

PM me if you don't have access to that version on your market.
[Android Apps and Games] VDub2174:
Purchased!!
[Android Apps and Games] case-sensitive:
First, thanks for making this available!

I like the concept a lot, and I would have brought the full version except for one thing: in portrait mode it takes up too much screen space on my 10" tablet (even with the compact layout). This of course is not a criticism, since the original app is intended for phones and your current design works great for that.

Keep up with the good work, and I look forward to buying an even more compact thumb keyboard app *with* the arrow keys :-)
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
There is a special portrait layout for 10" tablets in the full version. Although that layout is more like the tablet landscape layout, that is with keyblocks in the left and the right corners. I have tested that layout on a Toshiba Folio 100 and I liked that more than the specialized phone layout.

But do I understand you correct: you would like to see the phone/small tablet portrait layout also on a 10" tablet or... do you want a small portrait layout for that tablet (which is already available) with cursor keys and possible some interpunction keys and number keys? The last thing is something I planned to add to the keyboard anyway.

I am thinking to update the lite version with the new tablet layouts and publish it on the market. (That is, a version without themes, text prediction and all other extra functionality that is part of the full version or will become part of it). Just to try to get into fight with all those overpriced, overhyped bull**** keyboards that are on the market. (One of them even released a HD version :P )

I can't find thumb keyboard in markit is there places that i can find it?
[Android Apps and Games] thiazzi:
I'd really like to throw some money at you for this keyboard to use on my Archos 70. Can't find it on the market with this device, though.

It's driving me mad.
[Android Apps and Games] onejack:
Your the man!

Hello again!

Sorry but here in Slowenia we don't have access to Market-with paid applications. We have only access to free app market! So it is not possible for me to buy a full version! Maybe we could arange it some how over email!

If yes than you can conntact me over my mail 'tdiaudi@yahoo.com'

Thanks for your work! Have a nice day.

Greatings from Slowenia :)
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
And:

Yep, don't tell me anything about the market :) It's, how should I say it on a civilized way, g**gle . It didn't even show up in my market. I contacted gogle about it and I think they do their best to make it work :p

Another possibility is that you have firmware or a rom that isn't recognized by gogle. In that case run Eris Marketfix (be sure you install busybox if you run it otherwise you have big problems)

Hi there in Slowenia, have you contacted gogle about this (LOL)

I will contact you by email.
[Android Apps and Games] thiazzi:
So I bought the app for my phone.. Any chance you could throw me the .apk for my tablet? I'd appreciate it.

No need to contact google for this! Because in our country still not available service for Market paid apps! We are very small country for giant google :-)

here you!

Using version 2.0.2b, and the space bar problem has definitely been resolved. Great product!
[Android Apps and Games] nebukadneza:
Just bought it, please add QWERTZ and a 5" layout.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
ahhhr, keep forgetting to do that. I've just uploaded a new update. (without qwerz unfortunately)...

What do you mean by a 5" layout? I thought Dell Streak users were very happy with the 7" layout? Nevertheless, I can do a optizimed 5" layout, but I need some feedback and testers because I don't have a 5" screen to try the keyboard. For the best result it has to be tried on the screen it is designed for. So please pm or mail me (see about box) if you like to test it.
[Android Apps and Games] nebukadneza:
Awesome, I didn´t really have too much hope for QWERTZ.

Don´t get me wrong, the 7" layout works fine for the streak, it is perfect in portrait, but I think it could be a little more optimized in landscape.

Your thumbs reach further to the middle on a 5" screen than on a 7" screen and the total size of the keys is smaller. So I would suggest to make the whole keyboard a little higher (customazible height like ultra keyboard would be perfect) and make the main keys bigger while keeping numbers and symbols the same.

The Space key doesnt have to go all the way to the middle in my opinion, I don´t think anyone hits the key there. That would be a suggestion for the 7" an 10" layout as well.

I messed around in paint a little to show you what I mean. On the right is the 7" layout a it is now, on the left is my suggestion for a 5" layout.
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
WOW! Great! Thanks for your design. That keyboard looks awesome :eek: I like the use of the center space on the bottom row. Definitely going to implement that.

Could you draw (quarter) circles on the current 7" layout to indicate what regions your thumbs can reach comfortable without streching out? (I attached an example. Could be that that example is coincidentaly right) This way I have a even better reference to design the keyboard layout.

(BTW the qwertz layout was part of the first versions of the keyboard... I only have to add them again)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
after the last few days of kies craziness with everyone flashing last update, I thought I would give it a go, having never used Kies to flash before.

Anyway I plugged in phone no firmware update, done a search, so thought i'd try older version of Kies to try the registry hack, anyway, long story short that didnt work and having uninstalled and installed kies several times my pc just stopped picking up my phone completely driver would not install.

Again tried everything deleting drivers etc uninstalling kies and starting fresh but nothing, I now have latest kies but no USB drivers are installed and have no idea what to do, my pc will not pick up phone even in mass storage mode the drivers wont install.

I have since managed to update phone to JPA using pc at work, but still need pc at home working, I have tried all installations with antivirus off incase some asks..

so anyone please..is there anyway to get everything back to the way it was with kies and USB drivers all installed and working??:)

how to flash with ruu if your phone is stuck not even being detected by PC. any detail please thanks regards
[Desire General] quanchi:
First of all: be sure you know what you're doing. The below listed solutions might help but might also end up bricking your phone dead.

If you can enter fastboot (back while powering on the phone) and if you have a nandroid backup, you can try to flash it back using the fastboot flash command.

OR

It's possible to run the RUU update while in fastboot or hboot usb mode (back button while powering on the phone) I had the modified usb drivers installed http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install, not sure if that is needed - but the original drivers didn't work very well with my setup in general: Win7 x64 , also I uninstalled HTC Sync.

OR

If that fails, you can try to extract the rom.zip from the RUU and flash it manually (help on extracting http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html ) JUST DON'T USE THE ROM FROM THAT TUTORIAL, THE LINK IS JUST FOR REFERENCE ON HOW TO EXTRACT THE rom.zip

The offcial RUU are in this thread, just BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT ONE http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667

[Desire General] unnddd:
Is your phone SLCD? I reckon you may have flashed an incorrect RUU, in which case you'll need to get a more up-to-date one and flash it again. In case that's the most recent one for T-Mobile, you'll need to make a gold card and then flash a generic RUU. Hope that helps.
[Desire General] faisal_sherry:
hi thanks for your reply i don't know what is slcd? and let me tell you the stat of the phone now

when i press power phone vibrates i can see button lights on the phone but nothing on the lcd screed:(. Phone is not going in boot mode when i press back and power nothing happens, volume up and power nothing happens. Phone is being recognized in device manager as a usb mass storage and i can see battery light on the top of the screen as well. I dont know what is the real state of my phone and what do you call it but its a t mobile UK phone that's what i know and what should i do now thanks

[Desire General] quanchi:
SLCD is a type of display present in some Desires, earliest Desires had an AMOLED display. You most probably flashed your SLCD Desire with RUU prepared for an AMOLED Desire, hence the display problems. Search the forum for "SLCD BRICK". Your phone should be able to enter fastboot/hboot, but doesn't display anything because the display handling is screwed up. Before trying to resolve your situation BE SURE TO READ ALL THE INFO ON SLCD UNBRICKING.

I have no experience with SLCD models so can't help you much on the subject, but there are numerous threads on xda detailing dealing with this particular issue.

I don't want to sound rude or holier than thou (as I had my share of bricks and semi bricks) but I did write that you should make sure you get the correct RRU...

best of luck

hi thanks for your reply i'll try n post the result here

So here I will describe what I did to solve the exact same issue.

Remove the battery from the phone

Copy the proper RUU file to the root of my SD card naming it PB99IMG.zip

Insert battery

Power on phone holding the power and the back buttons until the fastboot menu opens

Choose recovery

Then it will go through a bunch of stuff and ask you if you want to flash the file you put on the SD card, I said yes then a few minutes later Bobs your uncle I was back to factory.

@droidzone, hi thanks for your time and reply here. the thing is i am very very basic user. Can you please tell me do i have to install htc sync first and i dont have any gold card before rooting. after following this procedure

"switch off phone. press and hold volume down. press power. release volume down after 5 seconds. wait for 30 seconds. press volume down. press power. the phone should vibrate. wait 40 seconds. the phone should be in recovery."

pc detects the phone but when i run ruu it doesn't find the phone and i have OTA downloaded as well and i have copied to micro sd but i dont know how to use this OTA. i'm sorry for being very basic
