This keyboard is probably the best I've used to date! If anyone else posted about this already, I didn't see it sorry.
But this is well worth a look for anyone else who thinks the in-built keyboard is too small or the tengo keyboard is not comprehensive enough.
This Fingertouch keyboard from teksoft has 5 variations of input methods, one must meet your needs.
Personally I like the default QWERTY keyboard with bigger buttons than usual. It all works very well indeed.
Check them out for a 16 day trial or purchase it for a $10 or a fiva in UK.

good call on this one. I used tengo briefly but this is much more responsive and easier to use.
its the first app that has made me consider leaving my keyboard off of my device and avoid those nasty scratches it creates.

Glad you like it. It's hard not to. Should be useful if it works well with TrueVGA for the upcoming cooked ROM. Anyone running True or RealVGA and wanna test this app for the Athena community/Project?
feedback....& trueVGA testing...
- This is an AWESOME keyboard. Works so nicely in native mode and I love the way you can change between all the profiles so easily!
- In trueVGA mode it's okay. You can still do all the same stuff, of course, but the keyboard itself looks a little stretched out. At least it tries to go across the entire screen unlike other keyboards. I'm sure with a custom skin, this will work out. I haven't tried to play with the settings under trueVGA mode to see if I can get it to display better but I will later.
Thanks and great find!

Yep.. a much better input compared to the standard one. I like its larger button that perfectly fit my big fingers.

I would like to know if you guys tested the macroing this keyboard comes with. For eg. try typing !cap (starts a timer then captures screen - parameters adjustable in the registry HKLM\Software\Teksoft\FingerTouch) or open a new Notes document or Pocket Word and type !gre
There are other macros, see Settings->Input->Options->FastKB
Phonepad is still my favorite
I realise I type faster with Phonepad, even with one finger. Simpler layout plus easy switching to various modes

Uninstall it and find out. Won't take more than 10min to test if it's the cause or not.
1.75 also here. Found this program today and because
it is a must have and with so many progs i had installed
couldn't find which was causing the prob, so hard reseted
the x7500.. wisbar advance 3 ok..spb backup ok (made backup)
fingertouch 1f error after soft reset. After it was uninstalled,
wm5torage worked fine again. And something crucial

Ah this could indeed be your main problem. I had times when using WM5, when the WM5torage was also temperamental in working sometimes than not at others. Since switching to the Dopod WM6 ROM, no issues at all.

I think this is exactly what I was looking for, I will refer this thread in another were I was discussing about keyboards. By-bye SPB, time to go for a true finger keyboard
I have included a snapshot of how it looks on my device, I find the 5th layout very useful, see below a picture from my device. I think I'll be able to write emails as fast as on the Desktop PC with it
Once again thank you makaby007 for this

You won't have to wait more than 30 minutes if you follow the unlocking instructions in the thread below:

Be sure to search for and download the Dopod WM6 ROM first, but don't apply until you have unlocked your device, otherwise you'll brick your device.

There is a solution for that "1f error". Use a task manager and kill the cprog.exe file. That would shut the phone antennae OFF for a while, allowing you to use WM5torage to be activated. Once activated, there should be no more problem.

Another reason for the "1f" seems to be active items on the storage card or MicroDrive. I use Wisbar (I think, or else iLaunch maybe) to start in "safe" mode, then it works like a champ.
Actually, now you need not struggle with WM5torage and its associated problem with pluggins and memory anymore. The good old Card Export that worked on WM2003 now has a version that works with WM5 and WM6. I've already made the switch and much prefer it over WM5torage for a few reasons:
1) There is no memory shortage issue. You can always connect and disconnect anytime, with no soft reset.
2) You are able to connect to both the microdrive and sd card at the same time.
3) You can instantly toggle between async and card export mode.

Guys, this is an update to my old program VJSmallIcons. To say it's long overdue is an understatement
This version retains and persists settings between folders. It can also make the Programs launcher fullscreen. When you go fullscreen, there is a menu option to permit navigation back up to the previous folder.
On a whim, for no good reason at all, I've also implemented my interpretation of the Vista View Mode slider, as seen here in Vista.
The slider can be used to toggle modes. Even if you don't need the app, try the slider! I quite like it :wink: Hopefully you'll see this again in VJSihaya.

nice unlike the first one, this one works on my device %)
the slider's a bit silly, I suppose, but kinda cute
( are you supposed to be able to drag it? only seems to respond to taps )
However... I just got stuck in a subdir :x VJSmallIconsII disappeared, and tapping 'OK' (which normally goes a dir up) did nothing. Not sure what I did to get in that state. Edit: Found it, check follow-up posts
and a suggestion... the 'go up one level' bit, perhaps it should carry the name of the level above, instead of the current level?
bug report.. if you run it twice, you will seemingly just be using VJSmallIconsII as normal. But changing any of the modes does nothing. If you exit it, it becomes apparent that you were already running it a copy of it - as that instance with its view (which changes correctly) is still there.
btw - nice UI (not sarcasm.. it really is nice!)
whewps.. now it locked up my device >_< I'll try and repro
yay repro
I have PHM PPC Powertoys installed, so I have a dir structure...
"\Program Files\PHM Tools\PHM PPC Powertoys\"
from a fresh boot:
1. Start > Programs (required first-run)
2. Start > VJSmallIconsII (in program history, still)
3. Start > Programs > PHM Tools > PHM PPC Powertoys
4. Tap VJSmallIconsII floater
result: floater disappears
expected result: pop up menu should appear
at this pont everything still seems fine - you can navigate around, etc.
5. Tap OK button
result: nothing happens, you're stuck at this level
expected result: should go up a level
-----
With MagicButton running - Steps 1-4
5. Tap (MagicButton) OK button
result: device locks up
expected result: should go up a level

I don't know if it's the length of the folder name, or the fact that there's two spaces, or... etc. Can't keep poking at it right now
ZeBoxx: Many thanks.
I'll look into the hang. That's not when you're running it twice is it?
It's hanging because it's subclassing the Programs screen, and if for some reason VJSmallIconsII crashes, it'll take the Programs screen down with it.
It does contain code to detect multiple instances, but it occurs to me that because of the way the window is created it's probably not being detected. I didn't contemplate it being run twice I'll fix that!
Yes, slider responds to taps not sliding :wink: Not sure if I'll fix that! At least for now, it's just GUI...
The folder name - good idea, although it's basically for showing what the current folder name is, if you've got it in fullscreen mode and can't see for yourself. I don't mind incorporating either way, whichever you guys think is most logical.
Bug is confirmed with PHM (I have a similar folder structure). I'll look into it when I get home.

Probably doesn't matter - the hang is just when using MagicButton, so I suspect it's because it's using a different method to 'close' the window?

Well, that's why I mentioned two spaces.. e.g. "PHM Tools" - if I'm in there, and I tap VJSmallIconsII - no problem. But once I'm in "PHM PPC Powertoys" - boink.
I'll give it a more thorough testing and report back

Pooh, I think I remember now. I think I used a 16 char buffer for the folder name. Should be easy to fix. V gets his beautiful ass bitten by a buffer overflow... now to the XBOX 360

What os is this supposed to work with? I put it on my 2002 devices and no go. I don't like to try unfinished stuff on the newer phones that I actually use (as phone).
This is a bit off topic....
vijay555, your programs alway seem so slick. You obviously put a great deal of work into them. My question is, why spend so much time on programs that help the user interact with the device when the there is a lack of programs that provide real usefull functionality. I am not critisizing any of you projects, more just pointing at what I see as a lack of things to actually do with a ppc once you have it working.
Hey unable to download this app from your site!
OdeeanRDeathshead: not sure about 2002. It's been tested on Emulator, WM2003SE and WM5. I don't have any 2002 devices to test it on.
Either way, I'd suggest waiting about 45 mins so I can get the buffer overflow bug fixed.
Re the offtopic: I've got a lot of new stuff to write, but for me, I do a lot of playing around mainly as an offshoot of reading. For this app: I wanted to make an app to hide reminders. Thus I wanted an app to remodel the reminders. Thus I wanted to change the button style of the dismiss all button. As a result I thought I'd try the same on the Programs window. It was semi-useful (I never use Programs), so I released VJSmallIcons. I know one guy who used it - it's a small market
Next I'm working on VJToggleToday II. For that, I needed to make a subclassing routine. It was easier to debug that in VJSmallIcons II. So I wrote the subclasser as reusable code.
At the same time, I got interested in owner drawn menus for a TV Listings app I wrote on the PC in VB, which I want to move over to the PPC eventually:
So I experimented with owner drawn menus, and then for no good reason the slider.
So circling back, the subclasser will be re-used in VJToggleToday II, which is a useful app, and the slider will reappear in some form in VJSihaya.
I don't really have time to write "big" apps like a word processor etc. I write what interests or distracts me, or is otherwise being used for research. It's a hobby My stuff is mostly for my own use, or research, but some of it occassionaly might be useful to the wider world, which is why I release it publically. But there are a myriad of bugs and issues in the Phone OS which I like to address for my own use, eg why does it take so many clicks to start a new calendar entry? Why can't we add numbers to existing contacts? If it bothers me enough, I look into my own solutions, more as an academic exercise.
Phew, time for lunch

Guys, I've put the new version, v2.01 back on my site. Fixes the crash on long folder names and prevents loading multiple instances.

Hello everyone!!
After a lot of work I have something stable to give you . There are still some little things to polish but I think this is worth for you to try .
It includes also a mini theme that's made by chriscsh. Thanks pal!!
You can find the details at my web at
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/
It's in the second news entry .
Hope you like it!! Of course I look forward and appreciate all your feedbacks (nice ones and constructive critics ;-) ).
Thanks!!

Hi!!!
Here you have a little preview of what's going to come in the new release
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/index.php/the-news/1-latest-news/82-094-beta-video-preview
-----------------------------
Hi!!!
0.9.3 Released!!!
Details here:
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/
To ask for support visit: http://www.throttlelauncher.com/forum
I'll try also to give support at this same thread but I cannot guaranty it as this thread is getting too big and unorganized.
Lot's of changes but this are the more relevant:
- Landscape mode support.
- Truetype support.
- Page changing almost automatic (after first load ofcourse...).
- Experimental support for flash plugins (need to be configured through TXT files) Thanks TWolf!!
- Experimental support for 3rd party plugins (new contacts page layout using plane or Direct3D mode, and clanedar page. See below a link to a how to develop you're own Throttle extension)
- Many others!!
To configure Twolf Flashes included on 0.9.3 for each flash (clock, contacts and weather) theres a txt file located at ThrottleLauncher\Setups\Touchflo3D\Twolf\. In that file look at each file items descriptions for more details.
Flash sources provided by TWolf here: http://www.throttlelauncher.com/foru...72&postcount=2
Hope you like it!!

Is really eassy to fit any .NETCF development inside throttle .

looks great! but, i cant get the default setup cab to install, just keeps telling me install unsuccesful. i tried soft resetting and installing again, to no avail. the actual program itself installed fine. also tried the exe setup and get the file is corrupted error.
nevermind. right clicked then saved target, now file size is right. thanks again for the great app.

Hi!
Sorry for the bug you may have found... May I ask what kind of bugs are you experimenting? Theorically it must work quite fast on a 400 Mhz CPU like your's. I've tested it on my Herald and works quite fluent.

Hi again,
I tried running it again when I got home from work.
The glitch is now gone. What happened was the wallpaper of my today screen turned grey and stayed grey until I did a soft-reset. Also the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen kept showing up on top of the Throttlelauncher icons.
One thing I notice is that when scrolling the bottom icons, there is a freeze when the second hand moves on the clock.
Also, I tried adding a contact...it seemed to work fine. I tried adding another...then it stopped responding...the new contact didnt appear. I could still scroll the bottom icons, but selecting any of them didn nothing, it didnt respond. I had to soft reset.
Hi!
Thanks for the quick answer!
Are you using the main app (ThrottleLauncher) or the today plugin (ThrottleToday today screen plugin)?

Hi!!
You can try making it transparent by two methods (both experimental) but probably it will be too much for a 195 Mhz processor... It's is for my Herald (overclocking to 273 make faketransparency look near smooth). If you wanna try it, access the setup config dialog (Through ThrottleConfig app) and go to experimental tab. There set to true even truetransparency (the slowest option) or fake transparency, click save, exit and then click the reload button.
Thanks!!
good program and it will be a great program once the speed and the bugs get worked out.

First of all sorry for the errors. Can you specify what kind of errors you get please? (to try to solve them for next release. Also, have you installed both cabs? (the default themes cab too).
Someone has also had some problems uninstalling here you have the description on how he got it solved .

Most of my errors were due to Certifications, but I changed the rom yesterday night and all that went away. I did what the post said, but no luck. I think that the problem was that I tried to manually uninstall it before I read your post, and I erased the other reg key as well as the program folder before erasing the one in "Security". For future reference (at least for me), order does matter Aw well, i guess it is back to re-flashing for me. Thanks for your help though

Thanks for the screeny . I'll try to figure out a way to hide the tray bar....
About the touchflo 3D... I'm currently working on a new way of scrolling similar to the footer of touchflo 3d. I've it already working but I wan't to improve graphics before releasing. If you mean if you can make something similar to the weather animations and that stuff.... I'm sorry to say no.... Any way I can try to develop a setup close as possible to touchflo 3D.
Thanks!!
Hi all,
I have lurked on this forum many times and have found it very useful especially in terms of my recent ROM update issues with my new Diamond .. which turned out to be the HK version - gah! .. but that is another story.
I just wanted to let people know that I have written a tool to show storage space use on your Windows Mobile in a TreeMap. There probably are other tools like this kicking around, but I couldn't find one that was any good.
Main Memory fills up pretty fast on the Diamond if your not careful to install absolutely everything to the storage card, and also set your default save location to the storage card.
The screen shot below is of the app and the Main Memory of my Diamond after I found and killed off the offending files.
Anyhow, if your interested you can mosey on over to the download page: here
Cheers,
James.

Update 1.2:
- Improved performance, added more status notifications to indicate what its doing during delays
Update 1.1:
- Orientation switching added
welcome to our forum. interesting tool!
Thanks for the welcome
I am curious to find out if anyone will find it useful. I have put it on several phones of guys I work with and they have found all sorts of garbage clogging up their phones.
Will give it a few days - maybe some people will try it out.
J.
thank you for the app/tool!
working fine and showing all...
in yr pic i can see you are using the app in portrait but it takes all the screen.
warning: this app is better viewed in landscape. this mean i have to stop tf3d and rotate the screen or use the gtool....in portrait the app is 1/3 of the screen. anything i should know? vga/qga related?
i can not see any garbage but this might be as a result of intensive use of SkTools and it's cleaning tools.
opera is a monster in device and iGO8 is the champion on my internal memory.
i'll take a better look in the evening.
Thanks for trying it out!
Yeah - I'm not handling the switch to landscape mode, however if you start the app while already in landscape mode it should be fine.
I'm using the HTC stock ROM in my Diamond so I'm not really sure how to disable TF3D and change into Landscape. However its fairly easy to change the code to handle the event and have it recalc for the new dimensions. Will put it in 1.1! Shouldn't take long
Cheers,
J.
thank you
will try this out on the rom im using when i get home later
Oh yeah - and something that is probably not obvious to everyone is that you can click on the folders to zoom-in and take a closer look at the folder contents.
Maybe I should underline the folder names or colour them blue or something ... Hmmm.. will have a think about that.

lol i already tried with no success! maybe because is too small (1/3 of the screen).
btw, disabling tf3d is easy. go to settings/personal/today/items and disable the tf3d like any other plug in . after that you''l have the "old" today screen.
go to settings/system/screen and rotate yr screen.
i did the above, rotate the screen and open yr app but again i got only 1/3 of the screen!

Thanks for telling me about the Setting->Today->Items. That did indeed turn off TF3D, but then on the Settings->System->Screen couldn't find the screen rotate thing. There are three tabs (Alignment, Clear Type, Text Size) - It is 1am here, perhaps it will be there in the morning.

i have 3 tabs also: general, clear type, text size.
on general you have on the top of the tab "orientation" with 2 options "portrait" and "landscape" and underneath you have "align screen".
ye, sure try again after a good sleep..lol
interesting that you have "alignment" and i have "general" containing "orientation" and "align screen". this is wm thing...why different?
Very nice app, thanks

Hmmm checked it again this morning but its still not there - HTC must have taken it out of their latest stock ROM (I'm on 1.93.831.1)
Oh well - I tested it in the emulator and new version (1.1) handles the orientation change fine now
Can you tell me if it works for you on your Diamond? 1.1 CAB is here

Tried doing the rotation automatically using GSen with v1.1, rotates the screen and app fine but can take up to 15 to 20 seconds to rotate.

Could you try 2 scenarios for me?
- Start up the app and then rotate to landscape before doing a scan
- Start up the app, do a scan and let it render, then rotate.
If there is a major time difference in the time taken to rotate between these two scenarios, then the problem is something to do with MobileMonger. Otherwise it must be something else. Hmm.

Did that and the screen and app rotate instantly.

Doing the above and it's a little quicker, but still takes and average of 10 secs to rotate once the results are displayed.

Yes - should be - I have DPI detection to change the font sizes up for devices less than 192 DPI ... i.e. 320x240. Obviously since there are less pixels the folder depth displayed can be less ... but on the up-side rendering is faster

I got mine pre-release from Hong Kong and since had a difficult time getting the official updated 1.93 stock ROM for it. (It came with 1.34!!!)
3 do not offer the Diamond as one of their supported phones, but I can tell you its works really well (Just have to get the URL for their Planet 3 service - which I have if you need it)
I'm on the $8(100MB) data plan and have push HTML email from Exchange 2007 enabled with full attachments - and it works very well. Small email takes 5 seconds from the time it hits exchange to then hit my phone.

Hi,
is there a way to include an overview about the RAM usage into this program?
[size=+2]Now supports ALL HTC Diamond/HTC Diamond Pro variants![/size]
Gyrator has an advanced graphical configuration interface which can be used to create
thousands of combinations of events to suit every users needs. Windows can be excluded
from all events, or only some of them. Customisable sound events can be triggered, and
the device can be made to vibrate for any event. The keypad can be locked, the screen
can be turned off, or the entire device can be instructed to suspend.
There's alot more information, too much to display here, along with advanced information
and guides on the project website which can be found at: http://gyrator.brins0.net

- Make sure you have the .NET Compact Framework v3.5 installed. It will work with 2.0, but can have issues (I've run my tests with 3.5)
Also, there are known issues with the touchflo interface. Normally screen rotation is completely disabled on the diamond to remove any possibilities of program messing up, so it's bound to cause issues i'm afraid. When I ran tests on my device, I didn't come across any errors, although I have completely removed TF3D from my diamond.
Can you try and make the error happen again, and record the steps you took to make it happen, as well as all the information the error window gives you, and i'll try and correct the problem.
Edit 1: Forgot to add that the library cannot retrieve orientation information on some devices with certain roms installed, but that's out of my control i'm afraid. It will affect all programs that rely on the "Sensors" sdk library.
Edit 2: Can you also tell me which roms (OS/Radio) you are using as well, as this will likely be related to the problem in some way (See Edit 1)

As I mentioned in a previous post, Manilla (Touch Flo 3D) is known to cause problems in non-portrait orientations...
The options are in the top of the right softkey menu, there's 3 of them:
Enable Rotation
Enable Sounds
Enable Images
Application is ver similar as gsen in regards to Telus Mobility Diamonds.
Rotation does not work except for within the programs list. Any where else (text messages, ie, etc) absolutely does not work

Yeah, i'm afraid that's a limitation of the library which has been made availabel to us. It Telus want to go and destroy the ROM/device, then unfortunately we have no control over it. It's like T-Mobile removing 64MB of the RAM when they changed the shell, it's only got 128MB now. I do wish I knew why companies like to bastardise perfectly good phones, then sell them on as if they were the same... It's quite insulting sometimes...
[2008/09/22] New version!
A new version has been released, so have added this post to bump the topic up.
This is a large update, and should be used instead of the older version as it confains various new options and features, as well as performance updates.
Link to information post concerning the updates, as well as download information.
Thanks for this mate,works like a charm.Tried the rotation out on most of my programs and it works flawlessly.My contacts rotate fine and the text message also,the text input even changes to full qwerty keyboard on rotation,amazing.

I've disabled TouchFlo 3D on my device, so unfortunately I can't get the window title/class for it, to add it to the blacklist. If you would be kind enough to find the class for it (i'm guessing the entire today screen) then it can be added to the configuration file for all to see.
I've added the "Applications.ini" file to my server for folk to download. this will be updated more frequently than the application, so keep an eye out for changes
I don't think it likes my Touch Pro. It works fine using File Explorer but that's it. After trying to test it out in the all settings and all programs menus it gives the error that Levka posted.

As previously stated, i'm afraid this is out of my control, although hopefully in the near future, the library will be improved, and will be able to deal with these "different" devices. As soon as support has been improved, i'll be sure to include it in my latest build.
[2008/09/23] New version!

i liek this app and wish i could use it. im on a telus device.
Hit me up if you want anything to help out on getting this to work on telus/sprint devices i have all the rom files and can make reg dumps.
how is the power consumption if i may ask?
awesome app tho, gonna try it today
I have some question...
1)Framework v3.5 is 35MB...need I install Framework v3.5(35MB) to my diamond...because my diamond free space only 40 MB....
2)install Framework v3.5 via ActiveSync?
Some people might remember me from the Wizard forums...
it has been a long time since I made a public contribution on this forum, but the time has come that I will be making another one soon. it is not a full rom as of yet, but it is somthing that might be just as good.
If you look in my signature I have been working and testing a theory that graphics processing is a major contributer to laggy interface. one of the problems is the keyboard that we have come to depend on (the on screen keyboard made by HTC)
this keyboard has about 100 image files that the cpu has to process some from the PNG files and most in the SIPBITMAPS.DLL . well, I went through all of them 88 in the dll + the png files. got rid of the dithering, made uniform color schemes and overall optimised the gfx to be as light weight as possible. so light in fact that the package weighs nearly 25% less than the original one made by HTC.
I need some testers. ones who type really fast with the EZ INPUT KEYBOARD. once it is tested and proven that it is in fact faster, I will release it to the public. those interested in testing, PM me so that I can send you the CAB and directions (testting conditions)
If you have bench marking programs that would help too.
thanks for testing.
P.S. the point of this exersise is to give me a reason to "fix" the lag in the 10mb of ram eating phone skin which take a full 2 seconds to load. I figur if the keyboard is improved the most vital part of our phones should be fixed. it just takes a lot more work for those files... and it better be worth spending more than tree days of my time fixing it.

the best way to test it is to do a soft reset; put on an mp3 file (once the phone boots and loads everything, so let the manila start up and load every tab. turn on the mp3; go into the notepad app and start typing while the music is playing. about half way through the song rotate the device (if you use the gyro rotation) and test how long it takes to catch up. (the rotation causes lag)
do the same thing with the modded gfx cab that I provided on the first post.
You can also do the test without the music playing, but the results will not be as apparent.

[EDIT 2/18/10] For those who do not have the same version of 2.1 keyboard and may have a different layout, I attached the XML files out of my package. I don't know if it will work to fix your layout, but it might. let me know if it works
[EDIT 2/22/2010] I added My PSD files for those who wish to change the skin in any way. I also added a comment for the .zip file.
For those who wish to change the background to a SOLID grey, you just need to change the black background to a grey of your choice. for those who wish to have the old dithered background with a lot of colors, then just make the black layer invisible (although the keyboard will run slower)
HINT: when it comes to PNG's, black is least in bytes as opposed to GIF's where it is oposite. With bitmaps it does not matter, what matters ultimately is the complexity of the pixel mosaic.
Have fun
A great idea! That must've taken quite a while to figure out
But I'm not really a fast typer when it comes to the on-screen keyboard, so I'll wait for the (possibly) public release.
does not seem like there is much interest.
either due to the holiday, or what?
I tested it last night while playing music and there is no lag. there is a bit of a lag when rotating to landscape, but only lasts about two seconds and the lag is gone. (while playing music) maybe I should post some screens or have the mods move ot to the dev/hack section. some people rely on the screen keyboard only.
I would like to test this out.
I think I can type pretty fast on the on-screen keyboard, well, if it allowed me to. Primarily I find myself having to slow down when I hit space. Sometimes I'll go so fast the space input doesn't register, effectively merging the words together.

Hey man, I'll give it a test drive for you...just know that I'm on the stock T-mobile US 6.1 ROM. I'm sure I'll be texting as much this afternoon as ever, so I'll give it a try and see how it feels.
ADDED THE CAB ON THE FIRST POST sorry for the caps.
try it and let me know how it works for you. seems a lot faster than the original.
I also just installed the russian cab, and it is slow as hell in comparison. so I know it works.
enjoy.
I think that if I make a new phone skin, I will have to do it on the basis of donations recieved for the keyboard. just too much work.

Just saw your update, and grabbed the .cab, will start using it first thing in the AM, and have impressions by end of the day.
Thanks a lot for the effort either way...I'm trying every improvement to the on-screen kb that I can find, to make me less jittery about moving to the HD2 in a month or two
I tested your cab, and it does seem to respond better, and the letter's pop up faster. I'm probably not the fastest phone typer, but the original files would not keep up with me. With your fixed files, it seems to do a much better job, although still not as fast as I type. I'm running IME 1922/2011, so I'm not 100% sure how much of a difference it makes, but if you want I can run a spb benchmark with 1920 before and after installing your speedy files.
Glad to see you in the WVGA stuff, I used some of your stuff when I had an omnia.
I installed it a few mins ago and I can already notice quite a difference. Before, like ^^ he said, the buttons would not keep up with me typing, but now that lag is completely gone. I would say it is a very noticeable difference if you use the soft keyboard much. Thank you very much. (BTW, I am on the 2/14 SSS R8.5 ROM with Manila 2012)
I think the trick to doing a comparison is do a soft reset; turn on some long mp3 and type. first with the original keyboard, then with mine (black background and dithering removed).
I'm glad that it is working better for you... hopefully this will be a good performance upgrade for all of us.
The damn phone skin has such complicated gfx that I will have to make a different dialer button (the red and green one) it won't look as nice, but the interface should behave a little faster... especially when cooked in.

Everything seems a bit faster, but the symbol on the space bar is mess up.
Instead of the regular symbol there's just a line in down the middle of the space bar. Function wise, works perfect. Mike
Sprint TP2 Stock 6.1
HUGE difference!
Ok, so I've been trying this out all morning, and I have to say it's a dramatic improvement of the response speed of the on-screen keyboard
My error rate has also dropped significantly since using it...I thought I was usually just fat-fingering a lot of keys, but now that they respond much faster I'm making 10% of the typos I did before.
I've also noticed that part of what makes it faster is how its quicker to pull up the symbol (punctuation, etc) on a long-press, that was one of the first things I noticed when trying it.
It looks good too, I think, save for that split-spacebar mentioned above. Oh, and one minor detail...the graphic for the XT9 switch doesn't change when you toggle it. I almost never use that, so not a big deal to me, just an fyi.
So....great job S.V.I, thanks!! If I can get the on-screen KB on the HD2 (once I get it) to be this smooth, I won't feel nearly as bad about it not having a physical KB

which version are you using???
IME_EzInput_Western_2_1_19202429_00 is the one in my rom stock tmo 6.5
I do not have the issue with the space bar not showing up right.
also, just to make sure that I uploaded the right cab, is the space bar in a grey box or a black box (meaning the background) are you using a different language?? can you post a screenshot?
Will this work on any TP2, GSM and CDMA?

also, just to make sure that I uploaded the right cab, is the space bar in a grey box or a black box (meaning the background) are you using a different language?? can you post a screenshot?

Here's what the split spacebar looks like...works fine though. Again, this is on Tmob US 6.1 stock ROM.

That explains it. the EZINPUT in the 6.1 rom is 2.0 while in the 6.5 rom it is 2.1
the SIPBitmaps dll is different. that would explain why you do not have the xt9 button showing up either. it is a different version of the keyboard.

Understood, that makes sense. It really doesn't seem to have any impact on the overall effectiveness of your changes, so those two minor things don't bother me at all.
I've been using it all day now, and it looks like this will finally let me give the slider on my HW keyboard a much-needed break!
Fantastic idea, great work! I'll test it out now...
only 34 downloads...
where should I post this so that it gets the best exposure???
