Allmost, but if u look closer u'll see that the space buttom, if u had a cell phone (Nokia) it's placed same place as 0, that I like very much
Hope it's got the international T9 (Danish)

This is the XT9 Phonepad, supposedly the newer version of T9 Phonepad. And I've been looking high and low for it. Do appreciate if someone can share the cab file.
I've come across the PDAViet T9 Phonepad cab. Are you sure it's the same as this one here?

this is just what i need, cab anyone???

ok well i found it, but it seens that it is missing the black skin that is on the screen shots?

This seems like a great keyboard....I am able to type pretty fast on this thing....I just wish the space bar was in the middle. Seems a little awkward where it is. Other then that. Seems like the way to go.

You beat me to it! I was just trying this out and figure out this wonderful feature of placing the keyboard (only tried 'Space' so far, not sure about the others) as you like!!
Also, please soft reset after installation. It didn't work on Trinity at first installation cos' I forgot to soft reset. Read the 'Readme' file and realise that.
Haven't try XT9 but I think this is as good!!

I've been using TouchPal for a few hours and I must say this is the best SIP I've used. However, I realize that if I use TouchPal with the Notes program in WM6, I get some squares. I think the squares I'm talking about are the squares that show when fonts are not available. Every time I use the 'soft-navigation-buttons' in TouchPal in Notes, it writes a 'square'. It also occurs when I use the 'backspare-whole-word' function which is slide-to-left-backspare. The normal tap on the backspace works fine. This problem only appears in Notes. I've tried TouchPal with SMS-ing and Word Mobile and there's no problems. Any idea why this is happenening? Can anyone confirm this please?

I've encountered the square problem in notepad too.
This in big-key format makes typing easier and it's a great idea to allow the space key drag-n-drop in three positions! Added to that, so does the enter key, which also can swift to further left or remain right to suit left/right hander.
It's something near to what I'm looking for. I've tried XT9 keyboard from previous post but can't find the one shown in the picture. I presume XT9 got its edge.

great but only English
is there any way to put another language?

[NEW] K's Touch PCM Keyboard Skin & Layout

Here's my PCM Touch Keyboard. The keyboard has HTC Symbol pad's symbols fully integrated into it. By holding down certain keys for 250ms, you'd be able to toggle certain symbols. For example, holding down "a" will show all the "a" accents. Holding down "spacebar" will show common browser shortcuts, and etc etc.
*I don't know why the first picture looks brighter than the others...*
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Holding down the numbers will also toggle some symbols. These are usually symbols that are listed on your ordinary full size keyboard. For example,
1=~, !
[email protected]
3=$ (and various $ signs)
5=%
As you can see, I have also included some ghetto smileys into the mode button tapping the mode button doesn't change anything as there's only 2 modes in this keyboard (caps lock and lower case - double tap shift to toggle between them). However, holding down the mode button will show some commonly used symbols found at the lower portion of a keyboard.
The keyboard is based on the English layout. If you native language is not English, simply change the first two lines of the layout to the layout you commonly use. Everything else should work regardless of the base layout.
Installation is simple, just toss both files into Program Files\PCM Keyboard, select the layout and skin from pcm keyboard option and you are done.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
-open up the layout file with notepad, and replace this line:
symbol_pad=0,)-_+±
There's an extra "-" in the original layout file as seen in picture.

sir.... looks good but couldnt try coz the file is corrupt....

Looks good, but do you still need to update the PCM Keyboard every now and then? Because the PCM Keyboard has "expired date" which is really annoying.
I would rather to pay (even in this beta version) rather than having to visit the site, download, uninstall, reinstall, etc. etc.

I'm not sure if 0.12 still expires....I'm actually rather new to PCM Keyboard...I skinned it because I wanted a better keyboard to be used with my touch style rom...and the touch xt9 keyboard/keypad is a pita.....
Well, I hope you guys like it, you can easily customize the keyboard layout file to show whatever symbols you want when you hold down a key

Wow! wonder ful. I like it...

I like the look. Its my new skin.
Shouldn't it be "http://" instead of "http:\\"?
Also i could never figure out why on the skins they always have the "'" key above the backspace instead of something like the ".". I don't use hte "'" key as much as I do ".". I usually just change it in the layout file myself.

Is it possible to have a button to switch screen orientation?
Jem777

Really nice, i usually use the PhonePad, but with these nice tweaks u've done 2 it i'll 4sure give it a try...
Thanx for a great work

As noted above, the zip file seems to be corrupt. Downloads okay but won't open.

The current version of PCMK, v.12, is set to expire on Jan 15 or thereabouts. So, yes, it still does expire. I agree it is a bit annoying. But the keyboard is generally great with the rigth skin. I prefer the other "refined" one to this. This is complete, but the buttons are too small IMO. Still both are nice. Different strokes for different folks.

I was curious how this layout would look with my black iphone skin... So if you like BIG keys and this layout, you can select K's layout and one of the iphone skins from my thread above. The screen shot is of this configuration.
Good work K! I like some of your shortcuts.

Here is my skin and layout...

the bigger keyboard is nice. I'd skin it with the touch look later

Just wanted to see a side by side comparison.

is it just me because when holding down "spacebar" will show common browser shortcuts etc... nothing happens??

I opened the corrupt file in notepad and saw that is in fact a ".RAR" that was renamed to ".ZIP", why?, I don't know...
Just rename the file ext. from ".zip" back to ".rar" and it should work 100 %
Great skin dude...

You don't have to Unistall, reinstall thingy, just change the date to whatever before 15/Jan-08 and it will work..

do you have keyboard skin whick looks like an ordinary phone keypad?. i just got used to it already when messaging.
please help kin0kin.

Awesome nice keyboard - Grey Carbon!!!

This keyboard is awesome...I just know it =)
Here is the screenshot:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
These themes have some benefit to use,which are:
- Unique designs.
- Easy to switch labels, among text, number, fx and calculator modes.
- Finger friendly.
- Zoom button preview.
- Pressed state available, so if you disable the Zoom preview you still can see which button you are pressing.
- In text modes, you can find 7 frequently used characters and if you press Shift, there will be 7 additional characters which making total of 14.
- Clear indicators on which modes (text,number,fx,calc) you are in now.
- Complete buttons (including special characters like ü, Ü, etc).
- VGA & QVGA support.
- Portrait & Landscape support.
I found this skin at here:

This skin is really nice to use, its really finger friendly n nice looking =D
How do you think friends? Do you like it also?
I want to express my thanks by Voting for this skin =)
Go here to download the theme:
http://www.resco.net/competition/

thanks for the heads up. Looks really promising. Trying it right now.
Scratch that. Its very small. I prefer their iSkin skin much better. I can type faster and more accurately.

Welp, I was gonna give it a try, but I see its smaller the iSkin. Guess its a no-go. I can type pretty fast with the iSkin. Maybe if you made it bigger

iskin has no complete buttons n if you are doing sms most often the screen can't read the text anymore am I right?

yes you are right
Thanks for the link..this keyboard skin is the most perfect keyboard skin that I ever used..I will vote for the skin for sure
Btw you don't post the benefit of using this skin?? It has been posted by the creator of the themes..post it from here

[CAB] [NOV 24] Raphael keyb. wwe and scandinavian for X1

Just made this as it works best for the x1, bigger letters than the blackstone keyboard, who needs the arrovs when we have the optical joystick
get it here:
here is the new keybord image to fill the screen but still have the larger letter for easy typing, first i made the touch hd layout witout the arrows, but the letters were to small, so this is the best solution so far to still have the large letters for finger friendly typing.
hope this comes to use..

looks the same as HD but without the arrows, and that makes the letters a little bigger and more finger friendly.

well, the problem with using Raphael's keyboard is that at landscape mode, it doesn't stretch fully and create white space on right/left side of the keyboard.
OTOH, I believe this version will enable word completion and name/address prediction when you text using hardware keyboard, am I right?
does it break the symbol and the ascent key? If it doesn't, I'm inclined to install this over the TouchPal that I'm using.

Any advice, please? This cab won't uninstall, how can I remove it manually or at least make the AU key work again?

I can't uninstall this as well. Any ideas?

Just made a hard reset after killing the phone trying to uninstall this thing. Anyone who don't want to waste time restoring your data or to be stuck with an unfunctional AE button, do yourself a favor and don't install this.

Same here, can't uninstall, now I am stuck with a crappy keyboard that doesn't work due to unfinished uninstall. I even tried SKTools and it didn't work. Now I need to find a way to uninstall it.
don't install this software (at least till it has a working uninstaller)
Update: I just did a hard reset for the phone to get rid of this software. Now I am installing everything from the beginning. The guy who did this is not even showing a sign of life to help us out :S.

I like the essence of this keyboard, but it still needs a bit of tweaking. The landscape mode is broken too, though that isn't a big problem for me, as I use the HW keyboard in landscape anyway.
Will this ever be updated, smaberg? (Will send PM for it.)

The picture you showed is actually the traditional old school keyboard with large keys, so the numerical keys are hidden. Select small keys and they should be back up.

Ok, responding to myself, I just found how to have this keyboard again!!
Apparently the keyboard is there all the time, at least in the roms that I've tested but the cookers don't enable it!!!
On the other day, accidentally I saw a cab on the Cloudy's rom that was to enable the "old" M$ keyboard.
I was (and I'm still) not using Cloudy's rom but decide to try if it works. Install it and puff there it was in all is glory!!!
Here is the link for that cab,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5410858&postcount=278
Many thkx to Cloudy for this one and a hands down to the rest of the cookers for hiding this feature. Worst than hiding is not to give a cab for this as I many times asked for it...

Fifty thumbs up. I've even posted a thread asking for this months ago. Just did a hard reset and decided to try my luck.
I have been in hell with the other keyboards. This is the missing piece for me.
Cheers to cloud and you, OP.
