Hey guys,
I inversed colours of keyboard and dialer.
Copy the files to the device, from there to Windows folder, they're protected so I used Total Commander.
If there's anyone who would like keyboards like this but blue or red or whatever, tell me and I will do it for you or tell you how to do it.
Black original keyboards (You have to have original version installed) (without full qwerty):
http://uploading.com/files/HO87HZFT/Black Diamond keyboards.zip.html
http://rapidshare.com/files/197643363/Black_Diamond_keyboards.zip.html
I made also whc's small keyboard, including full qwerty, symbols and numbers. Works fine on my Diamond, all languages should work. I edited files from the newest version, but I don't think you'll get any problem on older version.
How to uninstall (get back to whc's grey SM):
Launch uninstall cab - on the list of programs you'll got this "program" or:
Uninstall Black whc keyboard like a normal program and install whc's keyboard again or:
Install whc's keyboard
I think it's best to launch uninstall cab, you'll have two more programs on program list but it won't take any memory.
These methods won't uninstall whc's SM, only turn from black back to grey.
It seems to be impossible to change font colour in full qwerty, so I had to make it lighter :/
Incoming: Update for original (full qwerty), whc's stock keyboard & after that whc's hd.
If I missed something, let me know.
Can you do all the keyboard I use full qwerty
This is great !!! I LOVE THIS !!!
Only 1 problem it dont work on my diamond :-(
Full keyboard is almost ready but I think I will have to make it lighter a bit to make those black letters more visible.
Dude! Awesome! Now I'm waiting on full qwerty and landscape qwerty.
Any plans on making this for the Touch Diamond Small keyboard? The one from the HTC Fuze.
wow thanx cant wait for the swedish keyboard what about the telephone pad keyboard
do you mind making a phone keyboard?
Nice! I can't wait for the Spanish version

I've had enough problams making the damn KB black alraedy. so i just want some insurance. and reliable feedbacks

I think these keyboards should work on all ROMs.
I think U converted wrong files in Dialpad. ... You should convert Assets_dialer_Normal.bmp and Assets_Dialer_Pressed.bmp because those files U gave in dialpad don`t change anything ...
wondering one thing im using whc 1.6 swe keyboard this will work on all ?
If you have any different keyboard installed instead of the original, it won't change its colours but you will have original keyboard with inversed colours.
hmm strange,
I copied the files in the Swedish folder.
but ut never asked me to replace existing files.
and after my reboot, only the 123 and T9 buttons are black the others are still the same
can it be because my buttons are named differently?
Which keyboard do you use? This is swedish version of mini qwerty, maybe you use phone keyboard?
i use phone keyboard too think you can make a black one of that please ? tack så mycket
I think I will post it tomorrow. But tell me, do you have any special swedish characters on phone keyboard?

Hi, I have made new skin for Resco keyboard pro 5.01. Its based on original iSkin from Resko but its smaller (cca 22pix smaller). I have made also new Slovak and Czech language keyboard map.
Just copy folder iSkin_small to your program files\resco keyboard pro\skins folder.
Enjoy
nice, would you be able to put numbers at the top?
I am looking for the iskin theme but in black or the touch grey, have you come across this anywhere?
Nice, this one looks better and doesn't take all the space on the screen
Nice skin just tried it however, just one issue when I press the _ key it enters € symbol instead do you have fix for this?

Can you access all symbols via this keyboard?
Hi All,
I am sure I am not the only one to find that the keyboard SIP on the X1 is too small.
Can anyone recommend a larger keyboard to work in verticle mode ? I am hopping to be able to use my fingers to do the typing instead of pulling the stylus out everytime. Something like the size of the Iphone keyboard or the Samsung Omnia keyboard would be perfect. I also like the short "vibrate" feedback feel when you type. Anyone feeling the same ?

I agree. Better than the new SE keyboard if you don't use XT9.
I second that. FingerKeyboard is the best by far. Lots of different layout are already available, but it takes you a few minutes to customize it the way you like it.

How can I get the ä and ö letters to the software keyboard? Also I wouldn't mind if the keyboard layout was a little bigger but for now I would be satisfied just to get the scandinavian letters on the screen. Hardware keyboard works fine.

The one you get when you start typing on the screen... the standard software keyboard on the bottom of the screen.

the WM one or the blackstone one, the wm one is in seetting input and settings choose sedish, if it dosnt exist, sorry dont know, but if you are using the blackstone one try my cab in other post for swedish on blackstone keyboard.
I don't know what you mean by Blackstone? This is the keyboard I am using, see this picture I found on the internet. It's shaded and doesn't look exactly like the one in my previous HTC TytnII (the one in the TytnII was just plain black and white, square buttons and no shading)

[Update May 10 2010:]
Huge thanks to Soul72 for adding other language support to MaxKey:
- English
- Italian
- German
- Norwegian
- Hungarian
Just follow the instructions below, but download the file below ending in "multilanguage." The other version just has English.
[Original Post:]
Ready for a screen keyboard that's easier to type on? This is a reconfiguration of the fabulous FingerKeyboard 2.1, so all respect to Exidler and Rozenthal. I have maximized the size of the keys as much as possible, focusing on keeping the edge keys further in given that protective cases may make these inaccessible. I also made the symbol keys much more standard (no longer 10 types of smiley faces!!! ) Moving the p and q up is a bit unorthodox, but I think you'll be pleased with the result.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE INSTALLING:
- You must have FingerKeyboard 2.1 installed for this to work
- FingerKeyboard must be installed on your device, NOT on the card
- The file that does not say "multilanguage" is is only for ENGLISH
- You can close MaxKey by pressing and holding the spacebar
- The attached cab also installs the X1 SoftTouch tweak to maximize your screens responsiveness, for best keyboard performance
- At the moment, uninstalling this requires a few steps that are relatively simple:
- - - Uninstall "Paco SoftTouch MaxKey 0.1" under Settings/System/Remove Programs
- - - Rename /Program Files/FingerKeyb/skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng-bak.txt to skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng.txt
- - - Move skin-02-wvga-port-01-eng.txt to /Program Files/FingerKeyb/Skins
- - - Next time you RE-select FingerKeyb in the SIP selector, the regular key configuration should be back
Install directions:
1. Install FingerKeyboard 2.1 to your device (not card!)
2. Download and install the SoftTouch MaxKey cab that is attached at the bottom of this post
3. Open the SIP selector which is the tiny triangle to the right of the keyboard selector in the middle of the bottom menu bar
4. Select FingerKeyb, and the MaxKey keyboard configuration should appear
5. To unistall, see above
If there is interest in this, I can try to keep developing for other languages and to make improvements based on suggestions. Donations would be highly appreciated.

ChangeLog:
0.1 - First release
0.2 - Fixed the " and ? keys; slight tweak to symbols layout

Sorry, what do you mean by "compact qwerty?" Do you mean fewer rows of keys, like 4 rows instead of 5?
finger keyboard does not support compact qwerty(yet at least)
thats great ring-bearer....i ll give it a shot
btw from where u got that cool battery icon on top?
Compact qwerty would be nice, but I think it would probably conflict with the FingerKeyboard2 keymap, since a compact qwerty only has 12 buttons.
If you don't know how a compact qwerty looks like, take a look at an old mobile phone without touch screen or hardware keyboard and notice that the function of every key carries a number of letters, that you get by pressing various numbers of times. For example; I want to write "C". I press the number 2 three times, and the C appears.
I think it would be possible for someone to make a compact qwerty, since there is one in the new Touch Pro 2's and Diamond 2's. Also, if you look at the Xperia default dialer (or any dialer for that matter), there are 3 to 4 letters on every key - there's your ready made compact qwerty. Of course I don't know anything about making this myself, I'm just looking at the posibilities of someone making it.
Regards
/Felix

Hope you like it! I do think it has made a moderate difference in ease of text entry.
The great set of icons is from one of gtrabs' collections. I think it's the "X Series"
Spanish version?

If you mean a keyboard where there are two letters on each key, there is a Touch IT compact qwerty that I believe Itje has made available.

Good pickup - thanks a lot. I have uploaded a fixed version to the first post:
SoftTouch_MaxKey_0.2
Ah, looks like I was confused about the names - what I meant before was ''Phone Keypad'' and you can get this with EzInput so nevermind
Anyways, is it possible to get swedish? The only difference is that long press on J gets an Å, long press K gets you an Ä and L gets you Ö. That would be great!
this is most amazing keypad out there!
keypad vey responsive!
can i request something?
is it possible to remove the page up down etc.
on "EN" coz' you know in xperia they have some sort of a mouse to scroll
so that there will be more space for a key! very usefull if there will more space to press a single key.
and some character in the third row and so fort have minimal spacing
maybe it can help if you can try to edit this?
but you know this proram works well for me is just maybe you can do
enhance it for x1 users? thank you in advance!!! nice work

Yeah, I can try to do something like that. I also want to work on the placement of the 'enter' and 'backspace' keys because they aren't optimal right now. But the main problem for me was the size of the qwerty keys, and those are now as big as they can get without inventing a whole new layout. But I agree that those directional buttons are not highly needed. I also still want to develop for the other languages people requested, but it may be a couple of months because real life is crazy busy for a while.
I could also try to make a SIP much more tailored to the X1 from the ground up. My C++ skills aren't great though but if anyone wants to PM me the 'dvoraksip.sln' code that comes with the Windows Mobile Version 5.0 SDK, I could probably modify that. I just don't have the SDK or the example code that comes with it. Anyone?
Thnx for the keyboard.. Its just made my XPERIA perfect!
But I have a question.. When I open the keyboard on my phone, the bottom bar dissappears.. Is this something you programmed it to do, to maybe give larger screen above the keyboard, or it something wrong with my config?
This layout isn't very nice. I prefer a normal qwerty layout.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. To answer your question:
No, I didn't program that feature in. That is a changeable feature of FingerKeyboard. Just go to programs/fingerkeyboard/options then change Portrait from "Hide bar" to "Show bar."
You'll be all set!
I have the HTC keyboard installed, and although its a vast improvement over the standard one (choice of T9 or compact qwerty RULES!), the keyboard itself is just plain ugly! White/black/grey splatters? Who designed that?!
Is there a way I can change the background to a plain colour?
I think its better than the standard one. at leats in design.
I like the virtual keyboard.. It is perfect for my white g1
However I'm also interested into skinning it.. Maybe it could become better
In addition to being ugly and not stylistically in keeping with any app window where you might use it, it's also an epic fail in the usability stakes because it's hard to see some of the characters on the keys.
I only really use the T9 keyboard and I find it difficult to see these characters '.? because of the mess of a background.
It's so distracting, it takes more concentration than should be necessary to type something out - a plain colour, ANY colour would be an improvement!

If you could make a version that I could install in a plain colour (preferably white characters on black keys like the default android vk) then I would pay you!
Any way to get this on my TheDude's 1.3? Or any roms I can flash to try this out

Figured it out.
