Unable to install Pocket CM keypad

Hi All,
I am a newbie to I have a htc touch. I am trying to install Pocket CM keypad on my phone. I downloaded the .cab file from the website and i copied it to my phone using activesync. When i click on that cab file I just get a message Pocket CM installation unsuccessful.
Please let me how to install it. Also i want to install the contact on my phone

Also can someone suggest which is the best keypad software I can install. Also what is the software I have to install to switch the phone from potrait mode landscape mode and vice versa

Best input soft - EzInput
Screen rotation software - Windows Mobile Settings -> |System| -> Screen -> Landscape or tap screen rotation icon on HTC Home Launcher tab.

Thanks for that input. But that will permanently change the screen to landscape mode. I want it only on need basis. That is why I posted.
Besides In my phone i have two keypads. One is touch keypad and another touch keyboard.
The problem is most of the times when not reqd "touch keyboard" which is qwerty shows up.
When i want to type a message or a document then only "touch keypad" shows up.
This is highly irritating. Can somebody help me how to get around this. I want to use the qwerty keyboard for typing messages and working with doc.

I have been reading in the website that it is possible to have the qwerty keyboard working with messaging or while typing email
Can some body please tell me how to enable/disable the 20 key keypad and enable the touch keyboard when reqd.
Please please post a reply

I tried the work around of setting the registry key. but now i am having other problems when i press the green button the call keypad does not come. I also cannot press the button 1 to rotate the screen.
Now I have changed the registry key back now. Now I am back to square 1. The two key touch keypad appears for messaging or email. But i cant get the qwerty keypad.
Can some one point me to the fix for the same please. so that i can use the touch keyboard for messaging.
Many thanks in advance

Man, try EzInput. It looks better, works better and touch keypad doesn't switch to qwerty in some apps - you can choose which do you want! Touch keypad OR qwerty. I'm using it 'cause this switching freaked me a lot and now it's OK with EzInput

Can you please point me to the ezinput cab file and how to install it please. Many thanks in advance

Larger Touch Keyboard

ok. I know I saw someone mention on this forum that there is a cab you can install for a larger on-screen keyboard. I've been searching the forums, but can not find this cab. I hate typing with my stylus, and with tf2d installed I rarely flip open my phone anymore (landscape is still not fully supported).
anyone know where I can get a hold of the large on-screen keyboard? An attachment or a forum link would be ideal.
thanks again!!! =)

I'd definately be interested in this too...

try this thread -

thanks so much for the help! I reviewed all of these keyboard and decided that I like the HTC touch keyboard the best..... Only problem is. I install the cab, and it does NOTHING! It still has the same old crappy on-screen keyboard! (stylus required)
I am using ttran's OTP 7 (tf2d manila)
I am uploading the cab now, so anyone else who has time.... test this and let me know if I am the only one with this problem... and if you know a solution please post.
Thanks again!

You have to touch & hold the little arrow by the keyboard to select the new one. You'll have to do this every time you reset your phone, but the attached cab will fix that. Just install it & you'll see it in your programs list. This will allow you to set the default keyboard so it doesn't reset each time you power up your phone.

TouchPal wont show after a while

Hi folks
I love this forum and am so glad its here, it seems to be the only place where ppl can get support for the HD right now.
I am using the TouchPal keyboard 3.5. It installed fine and I started using it and configuring it grand etc. But after a while it stops responding.
If I click on the small keyoard icon at the bottom of my screen, no keyboard pops up whatsoever. If I go to settings and change the default keyboard from TouchPal to say - Full Querty and press OK, the change does not take place (If I go back into settings, the keyboard is reset to TouchPal).
So I am left wthout a keyboard and I have to do a full restart of the phone. If I uninstall TouchPal all is well and the keyboard system reverts back to working normally.
Has anyone else expereinced similar ?
Many thanks for any help

iv got version 3.5 aswel, iv had no problems with it
the only problem i have is that, in landscape mode the key sizes dont increase, it appears small, but never the less a great keyboard

Hi xdaman85
Try running Remote Desktop and see if the keyboard behaves there, thats where it dies on me.

just tried that, no problem what so ever
try this
uninstall, soft reset, install, soft reset, then go to settings, inputs, choose touchpal as default keyboard, then press ok, then soft reset
i know thats long but it should do the trick, seems to me as if that it wasnt installed correctly and theres some errors, so try what i said and let me know if it works

OK guys, it seems I am not alone in having prolems with TouchPal on the HD. See this thread on CoolTek's forum.
http://www.cootek.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=742&PN=1
I have tried everything, I have uninstalled the kb, reinstalled it. Last night I completely reinstalled the entire phone (hard reset, wipe, reistall) but TouchPal still stops working after a while.

just the thread, i guess your right, your not alone...but..its still wierd as iv been using touchpal since last wednesday and its still working fine for me
could it be that touchpal is conflicting with another keyboard on the device?
Have you gone to settings/inputs and selected touchpal as the keyboard?
I cant think of any other ideas because its working perfectly for me

Thanks xdaman
Just done a new re-install and it seems ok now. TBH I am now using the version from Cooltek so I may have had myself to blame.
On another note, I am having probs setting custom commands, I have the followig questions, can anyone offer any wisdom ?
You can setup custom commands such as Ctrl+z etc. They can be stored in place holders accessed by tab+downslide on the Control Tab button (the one with the 4 arrows). The instructions for creating custom command scan be found in the manual (section 4.2) here
Here are my questions
1. How do you create a combination command? e.g. They have a built in command called "Select All && Copy". This is 2 commands. How do you create this ?
2. After I mess up all my command buttons. How do I reset them to their defaults ?
3. When I create a command, Is Flag5 the ASCII key code? The manual is not specific on this. Also, if Flag5 is the ASCII code, why do I need to then enter the Alphabet index of the letter ?
4. I only seem to be able to edit the top Custom command button. If I try and assign values to the lower buttons, the edit appears in the top button. Is this a bug ?

cant install/wont install
downloaded the cab file..after it ran..it looks like explorer window pops up and tried to o something..anyway it says the page cant be found..tried loading in both card and local and get the same response..it does tell me the it was unsuccessful in loading
i gues its the lastest becuase i downloaded from the site

Problems with onscreen keyboard

hello , i have the following problem
when I click in url or in edit fields on my opera , my onscreen keyboard popups automaticaly and i cant go on writing with the normal keyboard
can i turn this off ?
need help

Hey, i've got the same problem. I'm running Touch IT 4.5 from itje. Somebody got a solution for this?

Same "problem" here, though I can always write on the hardware keyboard no matter if SIP is deployed or not. What I do is pressing the Symbolpad-Key on the Hardwarekeyboard once (If Smybolpad is being displayed) or twice( If other input method is activated). That makes it disappear and I can go on typing. It is furthermore possible to disabled auto-deploy with Advanced Config, but NOT FOR OPERA, I found. How do you do this?

i havn´t the problem anymore , i´ve only downloaded the opera version from itje [Opera 15969] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485624
, it works and the browser looks better

Script to disable All SIPs except WM Keyboard

Maybe some of you are experiencing the difficulty to remove the SIPs that comes with the cooked roms that you don't want to use. One of the keyboard that I don't like to use is EZInput.
In some cooked roms, even after you select the default keyboard to the new keyboard (e.g. PCMKeyboard or Finger Keyboard) you had installed, it will not default to it after SR or in some cases, can't even be selected using the built in keyboard selector.
I have created a mortscript that will remove all the registry keys of all the SIPSs and leaving it with only the WM keyboard.
1. Run the attached mortscript.
2. Install your favorite keyboard.
3. Install default_IM_WM5.cab.
4. Run default_IM_WM5.cab. and select your favorite keyboard.
5. SR.
PS:
Default_IM_WM5.cab is not made by me. I'm just attaching it here for your convenience. Appreciation to the author.

1. this seemed to run, and I had no soft keyboard.
2. FKB 2.1 Giannis would not install. It said, "Unsuccesful". A reboot/reinstall did not help.
I found after reboot, reintalling FKB, I get "an unexpected error has occured in fngkbdconfig.exe"

The keyboard is running now even though there is some strange error at the end of the installation after the configuration. It seems to be working fine.
I'll check the FBK thread to see if I can find out what is going on and report back.

Why don't you give it a try and let us know? So far, I had no need to use this script since I started using cooked 6.5 and 6.5.3 roms. SIP Change does it well.

installed the script, chose FingKeyb in Default_IM and now i get blank screen right after SR , windows doesn't boot (event htc splash screen doesn't appear). hard reset...
