Hello, sorry for the incorrect English, but I'm Italian.
I have a proposal for a program for pda-phone, which I think could be very useful to write sms without qwerty or keypad.
To understand better, i use this photo as example:
{
"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"
}
Is it possible create a program that combines to every direction of the directional pad (usually 8 directions) under the screen, the same function of numbers of mobile keyboards to write with t9??? For example, at direction "up" the letters "abc", at "up-right" the letters "def", at "right letters" the letters "mno" and so on. Then associate to the "central button", the function of 5 (letters "jkl")...
i know that write sms with a small pad isn't simple, but could be easier than with a virtual keyboard on the touchscreen...
Sorry for my bad expression, I hope that I was quite clear and that you can create this program, which does not seem to be complicated ...
Hello and thank
I'd be interested to play around with something like that, it would be great for one handed texting once you memorize which direction contains which letters (might take a while to get fast enough to do it without really thinking), being unable to shoot off a one handed text is probably the only thing i miss about my old phones. (moto Q was amazing for this)

Thanks for your answer
But there is no program to do this?
Otherwise, it is possible that someone of the forum is able to create this program?
I'd be very happy!!!!
p.s.: excuse me, what is "moto Q"???
this is possible, but each key will map 5 chars!
........|.......... abcde
....-- * --...... fghij klmnop qrstu
........|.......... vwxyz

...or you could use like this
Left + up = Space?
Up = ABC
Up + Right = DEF
Right = MNO
Right + Down = WYZX
Down = TUV
Down + Left = PQRS
Left = GHI
Middle = JKL
I copied the layout out of a normal phone keypad. I think that all pocket pc's support diagonal pushes.
Although i think, that it should be possible i doubt, that it would be very comfortable to write a text like that. The Navigate Key is very small, and even if it supports diagonal pushes, it would be most likely, that u'll push the wrong direction very often.
IMHO it would make more sense to use the normal phone dialpad as input. that would give u the opportunity to write onehanded, and it is the inputform we are all used to from phones before. If something like T9 could be intigrated it would be one of the best input forms.

I actually did thought of that. That can be solved pretty much by adding the (iphone keyboard like) "typing register after you lift the finger, not when you push" - method.
Of course this wouldn't be very fun without something like t9 and somekind of Onscreen layout + indicator.
Certainly you are right to say that it is not very comfortable, but can be very useful to write in poor light without watching the screen .... In my opinion it could be useful...logically having 8 directions ... .
Sorry I didn't understand very well the last things you wrote, but with the reference to iphone, you are talking about writing with the keypad or touchscreen?
However, who can i ask to create this program???
Thanks for your interest...
what if it wasn't based on going from the center of the screen... but instead the gesture could be made anywhere, and the gesture only had to be like an inch big, and could be continuous. You could in theory right using up down left right and diagonal strokes, and a stroke could begin where the last one left off. I think with practice this could be a very usable solution.

not sure.
on some devices this is impossible to press two keys at the same time.

ok, but is there a person in this forum who can create thi program???
I would be very grateful
no one can help me???
possible better to use another navigation system?
like left arrow - move left in char list, right arrow - move right in char list.
and up/down is fast move in the list.
excuse me, i'm not practical with the English, and i and I couldn't understand what you wanted to say....
however nobody knows a man who can create a program like that???
Excuse me if I may seem irritating, but if it is possible and simple (as you have said) create this program, who should I go to ask for it?
But is this the right section???
up....someone can help me???
Sorry, maybe I'm asking too much, but I do not understand why no one responds to me or give me an answer ... that is, I was told that it should not be difficult to create this program .... why nobody wants to do that? Me it seems useful ....
And there are developers in a position to do so?
I would be very grateful ....
up....please answer me....
I wanted to do this for my Asus P535. I got 9 buttons in front (not including the red and green) and the record button could have been 0.
To do this right, there are 2 ways:
u need a software that reprograms buttons depending on the current running program. These buttons r not normally programmable but AE Button Plus can catch them all. It can't however change their actions depending on the program. Vito Button Mapper 4 can program buttons depending on the program running, but it can only program buttons that are in the normal button settings. I tried using them together (AEB can assign virtual buttons on the button settings as actions for the buttons u can't normally configure) but that didn't work and in most cases would be too much for your phone to handle.
The other option is to create a dialer/txt program that when on top would catch the buttons to do what you wish. I never got around doing that since I don't have time. You can ask someone who already made a dialer/txt to add that function.
It would very cool if this feature would have been added to PocketCM Contacts. That’s the program I use to txt msg and dial. I might ask the creator if he can implement it.
It's exactly what I try to find... I admit that I didn't understand everything you said(I'm Italian), but for me the best thing is the second proposal .... ideal, would ask to a programmatore of those programs, to implement the function we are thinking about...... if you can to ask to the programmator that, i would be very greatful if you explain me the answer.....

New version 0.3a is out
Looks nice and simple. Will try it out. How exactly does it work? tap tap a button to go to the next alphabet/character?
no no... tap to select character group and second tap to enter the desired char. So for every char you must tap twice. Looks maybe very slow but give it a try write some test messages and after a while you will improve in write speed

Why do you have to tap first to 'select' a group? Wouldn't it be easier to skip the selection and type an 'a' with a single tap?
Second, Maybe it's a good idea to change the layout to the default layout. ([abc] [def] etc)
But keep up the good work

What might be a good idea is to incorporate a function like to PCMKeyboard http://www.pocketcm.com/index.php
If you tap & hold say the shift key, then a popup with choices appears and you slide over to the choice, that way you keep you same setup and a user only taps once for a letter.
hmm... I can try to make clear TapTap layout. When you want to write on touch-screen with one hand and one finger (thumb) and don't want to concentrate on it (imagine when you are walking the street so you cannot&don't want to concentrate only on your PDA) you need REALLY BIG controls. But when you have big controls you haven't much space for other things like for the program you are writting in. So you want SMALLER keyboard what has BIG controls. And that is exactly what TapTap layout is all about TapTap is also adjusted for all people. You can train your thumb and write very fast but when you don't want or cannot write fast there is no problem TapTapSMS won't rush you. On standart GSM phones you must press button once (perfect state), twice or three times (sometimes even more times) to write desired char and it must be in time limit. In TapTapSMS there is no time limit so you can write how fast you want/can. Of course pressing real buttons is really different than pressing "nothing" on touch-screen. But on PDA you haven't real buttons I mean PDAs without hardware phone keyboard (e.g. Asus P525) or big hardware keyboard like on Vario (BTW "Vario" keyboard is not very comfortable because you must use TWO hands and two fingers).
So I hope you now undrestand
BTW can somebody test it on any slow device (e.g. 200MHz CPU) like Vario? I'm interested if it is usable (fast buttons redrawing) on slow devices. On my A701 it's fast but it has 520MHz CPU...
Thanks, I understand if this is the direction you want your app. to go.
I tried using the PCMKeyboard and it worked fine except it did not increment the character counter.
I get it
Looks Good, I see the idea you're goin' for...prolly wont b the most popular app in the world but looks very usefull for those who are looking for a one hand intuitive sms keyboard. I'll try it out tomorrow n let ya know what i think.

Hi, I'm using a HTC Prophet, overclocked to 221MHz using the stock ROM 2.2, WM5. Your program runs without hitch and without lagging on my device, probably because I'm not used to the interface and am very slow when using it.
I like the idea of big buttons for one thumb use but it seems very slow to use, but then again, I'm still not used to the interface and it could be just me. Another thing is the space button, I'm used to having a space button below the alphabets, like a computer keyboard. To me that is more intuitive.
Just my 2 cents worth.
BTW TapTapSMS is for now oriented mainly for right-hand users so on the right side you have the most used controls: SPACE and BACKSPACE.
Great Job
Works fine on my wizard. WM6 touchflo clocked to 247...send lags slightly, but not much more than usual. Overall its a great app. I agree with the spacebar idea...seems like it should b below alpha. keep up the good work
seems to be a nice idea. just need to be familiar with it. thanks man.
keep up the good work.
The link you posted (http://www.miousers.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=19705#19705) points to a forum which has a secondary link (http://mujweb.cz/www/birkof1/A701/TapTapSMS_nova-alpha.zip) that cannot be connected to. Can you post the file to the xda-develoopers forum instead of some czech server?
I don't know but for me the link is not broken Try searching google Sorry about it
BTW one of the main goals of this program is to reveal programmers that it is possible to make program which can be easily controlled only with your finger (and also with joystick - it's still one-hand controlling) and still is there enough space for other things.
EVERY PROGRAMMER who wants to make FREEWARE program and wants to use this controlling technology is welcome and he/she can FREELY use it and modify it to his/her own needs/ideas (of course it would be nice mention my name in program's credits). And of course there is no need to ask me for any permission... I have done it for the PDAs community FOR FREE
Of course if you wants to use it for commercial product you must contact me for my permission (BTW I have already gave some for now ).
small UPDATE... if you choose bad char group then tap on small "x" above main write buttons.
installed on Himalaya WM6 Aku7, most recent .NET,
MissingMethodException
Can't find Microsoft.WindowsMobiile.Forms
Version 1.0.0.0 Culture=neutral
PublicKeyToken=31xxxxxxxxxxx
or one of its dependencies.
Have seen this with rare other .NET programs, most do work.
hmm... try to delete DLL libraries provided with the program.
your taptapsms download comes as a stand alone .net exe with no dll's. It does start on my PC, .net can be so funny
update, sorry, did something stupid while unzipping, found the dll's still inside the zip.
Hey guys, so I receive an SMS and it gets shown in Pocket Outlook. Now on any normal phone I simply press a button and I'm given the option to reply by text or simply call the number that the text was sent from.
Where is the option on the Hermes? I'm running Windows Mobile 6. Please don't tell me it simply isn't there?! Even a cheap £10 phone from a supermarket has this available.
I'm starting to regret getting this phone. It seems like if you actually want to do anything practical with it you have to pay for additional software, like spb GPRS monitor to make sure you don't spend too much on data traffic, or spb Mobile Shell to actually give it a usable thumb interface. I think it is nothing short of scandalous that all these things are included as standard on a basic Sony Ericsson phone. Such is life; pay loads of money, you get ripped off. Free, you get it all. I am slowly resigning myself to the fact that as a phone the Hermes / o2 XDA Trion just plain f***ing sucks. Back to my K800i I go. At least that actually functions as a proper phone without all this nonsense.
All I ever wanted to do was have a phone with wifi built in and the ability to play old dos games. Never in a million years did I think that there would be so many hoops to jump through.
And no one here ever did answer my question about running dos or giving me a list of what number all the keys were (e.g. "Button 0" = OK, "Button 1" = Start, etc.).
I really wish I'd got a Nokia N95 when I renewed my contract. I wouldn't then be stuck with this piece of [email protected]

In pocket outlook (text messages), pressing the green key while highlighting a text message will ask if you want to call the sender.
Pressing the right soft key will allow you to reply.
Regarding dos, did you check out PocketDos

I mean, every key has a corresponding map number doesn't it? For example, if you go to Start > Settings > Buttons, Button 1 is the message button on the top of the Hermes, Button 4 is the Camera button, etc. If this is the case, what button numbers are, for example, the keyboard cursor keys? Or the cap / shift key?
Also, the problem with PocketDos is, as far as I'm aware, it doesn't play any audio apart from emulating the PC Speaker. And you hhave to use plug in which take up loads of memory, leaving you nothing to actually run the games.
Yeah, I can't say I've ever used pocketdos, Dos disappeared quite some time back for me. I think it's the best we've got, but check out some of the emulation sites for specifics.
The keyboard map does have specific key codes, but they are not compatible with the Settings > Personal > Buttons buttons. I think we're stuck with the 5 or so default buttons, and additionally emulated hardware buttons using apps like AE Button Plus.
However, try an app like PQz which will allow you to use many of the keys on the keyboard.
V
Hi, just out of interest do you know what the specific key codes are? It is this list which I am after and which it may be possible to create a mapping for with DOS.
Feel free to share it with anybody. BUT PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH BINARY ON YOUR WEBSITE, link to mine. And that includes zip, cab, OEM version, included in a ROM, hotlinking, etc...
Hi,

More information and explaination http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard.php
What's new in 0.14?
- Autocomplete feature (will propose to complete a word if no other suggestion can be made)
- 2 gesture support: space and backspace (slide left to right, or right to left)
- Internal change in the data structure, should be a lot faster and consume a less memory
- Bug fixes: option dialog, layout association dropped after selecting a skin, ...
- Updated some layout and dictionary
Thanks to all the people that have donated for PocketCM software, and due to the lack of free time, I've decided to remove the time limitation in PocketCM Keyboard, you can now use it for free (personal use), without any restriction in feature or timing. Of course, donations are still appreciated!

Very excellent program!
I forward the comment I made in the Contact Manager thread:
If the keyboard background could be customizable, we can draw the "spacial" keys (\N \M \B) directly onto the background or, even better, we can create separate PNG files (with trasparency) that will be displayed over the corresponding key (so the keys layout will remain fully customizable).

I don't understand you. If you need another keyboard layout, you can make one. Or you're asking something else?
Can not use it - instead of this nice keyboard I have the standard keyboard. I have a russian localized rom and it seems that the probleme is related to that fact

What do you mean, what not fast enough? what kind of device you have?
It runs decently on my 200Mhz device.
If it's the time to suggest that seems to long, you can reduce the dictionnary size, the current one has 21887 words, you can probably get better result with let say 2000 words, I'm sure you don't use stupendous, pasteurization and extemporaneous that often
Tene: next version needs disabling the word suggestion. I cant use it since its replacing the polish text to english.

its a bit faster when i delete the french dictionary and stuff, but maybe in future releases you could have an option to completely turn off the suggestion bar, just an idea
How do you edit the dictionary?.
Edit. Nevermind, I'm a tool.
can you add a delay time on the letter pop up? like 1 sec?
I love this but I have to agree about killing the word suggestion. I tried to type the name Lisa and it kept changing it to kiss, it was really annoying.

great apps, tene. been trying to find something where i can use a finger. t9 takes half the screen and is not ideal. just need some nice skin to go along with it.
*bows down to the developer*...One major grudge for me (with WM) has been the SIP, have tried lots of them but liked none..fancied an iPhone just for the SIP part (rest is crap for me), and now its here...lemme try and and then ill give u the feedback...
when typing SMS in PocketCM, the PCMKeyboard suggestion box blocks the view of the message i am typing.
I would suggest that the suggestion box be setup horizontally and be part of the keyboard. This will avoid this issue. Liked the scrolling in the suggestion box, horizontal scrolling will be nice!
just my wish list!
Great job on this app! However, is there any way for a 3rd party SIP to parse the built in dictionary? Oh yeah, and allow us to disable the word suggestion.

wow really nice app. Some words are in Russian though.
I like the one handed operation,but I cant figure out the whole interface. Being able to access all the contacts' numbers is priceless.I had to reset my device just to get out of the program. The scrolling isnt as smooth as the competition......

It's really an impressive application.
I wonder if there is a way to have the index letters in greek instead in russian. Also, the main problem is that it converts my greek characters into russian characters, and I don't know how to solve it.

I try to run it in my pc but it doesn't run (it says: "The system cannot execute the specified program.").
When I try to run it in ppc, nothing happens.

For me it works. I put the font_generator.exe and fonts.bat to the fonts folder of blue skin and I edit the font.bat to generate only the 4 fonts that the skin needs. After I transfer the files to device and all now are in greek!
I wonder if there is a way to have the index letters in greek instead in russian

I have the same problem. I tried and on my qtek 8500 without touchscreen and works pretty good. But need some config with the buttons.
And here is the greek language, just erase the doc extention:
Very useful application.
The only drawback is that it takes too long to load. Will this be improved in further releases?
Thanks,
Fran
Another thing I have noticed is that even though I have created ANSI fonts using fonts.bat and put them all in the corresponding FONTS folder, I still do not get the accented letters in Spanish. For example:
Where it should say "Fotógrafo" y get "Fotygrafo", instead of ""Mecánico" it shows "Mec6nico", etc.

The vibrant looks really good but I'm kind of worried about the lack of any kind of touchpad or trackball.
Does this phone really lack any ability to use mouseover or hover events? What about clicking small links on pages you can't zoom in/out, like google reader?
I'm coming from a G1 and I find myself using the trackball pretty regularly. Am I going to hate losing the fine pointer control, or do they give you some other way of achieving the same effect?
I've rarely everneeded the trackball on any android phone and so far it hasn't been an issue for me. This phone has the most responsive touch screen I've ever used
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
I will say there have been a few times I missed my G1s trackball, but only a few times and I managed without... Just pinch in a bit...
On the G1 the single biggest use of the trackball for me was to move the text cursor around while editing text, and it worked incredibly well. On the Vibrant I constantly find myself tapping around within the text field until I get the cursor after the letter I want to delete so I can backspace it. Some sort of magnifier for accurate cursor control like on the iPhone would be a very welcome addition to Android, since trackballs don't seem to be a mandated feature for devices running the OS.
Swype has adpad... Slide fingers from the S with the I to the symbol key...a dpad will appear....saved me a few times...buddy at ppcgeeks showed me...
Has anyone had good experiences with a capacitive stylus? I got an HTC one for my fiance and it was an absolute piece of crap, so I am hesitant to buy any other capacitive stylus.

You can drag from the S-like swype icon to the SYM icon to bring up on screen movements.
This really is a hidden, but wonderful feature.

THANK YOU!
Super helpful. I have also been missing the trackball of my G1 for text editing. This little D-pad is perfecto.

does dpad work on web pages ?
Yes, but you have to get the softkeyboard to come up of course.

+1, but I will try the Swype method mentioned below.
Not that I have a problem using Swype, but it would be nice to have that option on the other virtual keyboards as well. I like the Samsung keyboard, but it lacks any kind of arrows or cursor movement.
I can't for the life of me get the d pad to come up. All I get is the line but no action... strange.

Wrong there bucko..the Samsung keyboard also has a d-pad. Long press the Number key and the d-pad will show up. Your welcome.
Yup. Missing the track ball. Certainly needs it while editing a mistake. And zooming in to click on the right button is a pain.

ANNNOYING, 2.1 was not designed to be trackball less... topped with the Copy-pasteless gmail app and the lack of a way to turn off cellular radio and keep bluetooth, android is bleaking out on me.
No matter how many times I hit the correct spot to put the cursor, it just wouldn't get to the point i needed it to... I had to pinch, to the point where I couldn't use the site... landscape fullscreen mode saved me.
I use the anysoftkey dvorak layout.... I hate to say it, but the iPhone4 now comes with it installed by default.
The galaxy S phones should come with a virtual D pad like that of windows mobile, or fix touch cursor pointing across the board.
