When will it be available?
That looks really slick.
Will this just be available on both windows 8 and windows RT?
I'm interested. I used to have Touchpal in the WinMo 6 days. It was a great keyboard back then. Truly revolutionary.
Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express
I see it is avail for download has anyone tried it yet?? http://www.touchpal.com

Have you gotten it to work
It doesn't consistently work, sometimes just fails to pop up completely leaving only the stock keyboard

Where did you find an English version? Won't give me that option on install.

I saw it mentioned somewhere else that even though English is not a set up option it is still the default language after set up.
Yep, you are correct it will default to English... but on my Asus 400 didn't work at all. Changed all the preferences and could not get swipe or word prediction to work.
Guess it's still in it's infancy.
windows RT
i wish someone told me it was only windows RT...would have saved me a lot of time!
i hope someone gets this going for windows 8 PRO!

Where did you see only RT, even Engadget mentions the Pro.
:crying:
where?
well i installed it and i can definitely say it didn;t work on the pro!
---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------
and when you get ready to install it has corupted letters..... it's not meant for PRO...trust me. if it was on the PRO it would be in the store and all over youtube!
If it was for RT, you wouldn't even be able to start the installer on the Pro (or any other x64 PC). I very much doubt the current version can run on RT, in fact. It may (or may not) be buggy on x86 / x64 (not "PRO"; that's nothing but a portion of the term used to identify a specific model of x64 PC), but it's certainly not "only windows RT" as you claimed. Oh, and a Store version wouldn't really work at all; you couldn't run it with the desktop or any other Metro app.
I'm guessing it's just a mistake you made (wrong language selected or something). The mistake might be caused by a bug in the software, but given that you apparently don't understand the difference between RT and Win8 on x86/x64 (not "PRO") at all, I'm pretty sure you don't understand the nature of the problem either.
It's a horribly buggy app, I suggest against anyone using it. It crashed Explorer right after installing, and it causes any app that you type 'C++ word word' into to crash while it's running. Not only that, but it forcefully sets itself as the current keyboard every 30 or 45 seconds, even if you manually select the stock keyboard. This behavior is behavior I would expect from a virus more than a seemingly professional piece of software.
The installer also doesn't seem to have an English installer, I had to rely on 3 semesters of high school Spanish to get through it. It also defaults to what appears to be Chinese.
But, as far as it goes on RT, it's a WPF app with a native C++ helper dll, it won't run on RT, now or ever.
Does not run
I admin installed v. 1.3 on Windows 8.1. When I install I only checked "English" and it has an error message "C:\Program Files\CooTek\TouchPal\keyboard\TPKeyBoard.exe A referral was returned from the server." I clicked OK and continue. After it was installed I try locate those execute files and run as admin. All I get is the "A referral was returned from the server error" Not sure whats going on... maybe a connection problem?

Have you figured out a solution by chance? I'm running into this now myself, and have no more ideas for a solution. A suggestion of another swipe styled keyboard would also be an appreciated, alternative, answer!

The best input method.
Thanks for the heads up on this - I'm a registered user, but I never seem to get the email updates. Do they actually send them?
I'm liking this version so far. It looks nicer and has handy little features. The "More" button on word suggestions was badly needed.

Ahhh, I see. Thanks for the hint
Nah, don't use this one, it makes my device run slow (I have an Axim at 600Mhz and with touchpal runs like 200MHz).
Better try FTPRO from www.fingertouchpro.com , it's fast , cool and has more options. For me it's the best software keyboard.
LOVE TOUCHPAL - but when i type "its" my Orbit soft resets !!!!!!
Have no problem using TouchPal on my Cruise, which runs on 400Mhz chipset.
The 'Its' bug has been fixed. Redownload the latest installation file from Cootek website.

is that so? did you download the official release? or something someone else posted? because I've been using TouchPal since version 2 and all the bugs have been ironed out. I have caught 3 of the bugs myself and they were fixed within 24hours.
TouchPal is my main sip, I use it at least once every 30mins while I'm awake. 3 times I've used it to write 5 page essays on my mobile. it's capable and fast once you get the hang of it. yes, there is a learning curve but it shouldn't take too long to get it.
to get the hang of it I'd say the best way is to open notes/word/textmaker or whichever is your favorite and type random words that comes to mind. it's the same layout as on a computer keyboard. so it shouldn't be too hard to understand where each key is located, plus you don't have to press the actual letters of the word you're trying to write, pressing the ones beside it will work just fine. its text prediction is really good, you can turn off the text prediction if you don't want it.
however, the text prediction is pretty good at saving typing the time it takes to type words.
eg: typing the word "circumstance", all I have to type is "circu" and it shows up in the word candidates.
lol, it's word association is good too, if it type word "nasty" it will show "masturbation" in the word candidates, lol. it sure saves me typing time when searching for these kind of videos in WVD lol.
get the file from www.CooTek.com and remember to select the download for the os you're using.
have fun
This looks pretty sweet. I will try it out in a few minutes.

Wow, this is very cool!!
I got this to work on my Touch Pro. To run it click on the simpleos.exe once you unzip it. It took a few times to get it running with a few crashes, but now it boots everytime np. Once it boots, click only in the password box and it should boot right up. It crashes if you click anywhere else. Actually this software is very very cool. Very stable once you get it to boot. Not very finger friendly though. Almost seems like development has stopped, which is too bad.
Also notice there are multiple desktops with widgets ect. You can access from the shortcuts in the upper right corner. Unfortunately on the 3rd desktop it crashed.
Open Source Code?
It WAS open source? I can't seem to download the source no more. Anyone willing to Hard Google and find the source? It's just too cool to not be in development. :\
Is this just an overlay for Windows Mobile? or does it actually reboot into a Linux shell?
Looking at the screen shots, it seems it is just an overlay.
It's skin
It's just an overlay everyone. I tried this last year on my touch and it works great! I'll see if I can if the sources somewhere and post at my site later.
I emailed the developer and got this reply....
"The program is no longer in active development. Feel free to download full source code in C#.NET. I am glad it sparked your interest, I hope you can contribute and make SimpleOS better. This is the reason it became Open Source!
Go head spread the word at xdadevelopers.com"
I will try and get them to provide a working link to the source code.
Source Code link has been fixed. The file is too large to attach. If you can't download let me know and I will split it into 2 smaller files. Enjoy!!

I think it looks great to be completely honest. Maybe if someone were to develop on it, it might be a more feasable option than using the standard windows 6.0/.1 interface until 6.5 becomes a bit more stable.
Are there any developers out there that would be interested in continuing this project? I think its has great potential.
yes it is way better than copying iphone interface and also trying various interfaces to get better user friendly apps .
it also boots there is a option for it to boot
Hi Folks,
1st thread on here.
Just got myself a spank new Touch Pro2. First thing i did before i started installing my apps was to check HTC website for Updates. Sure enough they had a new ROM version and WM6.5 upgrade. Now i have it working exactly how i want except for LogMeIn. I have used LogMeIN on my HP Ipaq for ages but cant get it sorted out on my HTC. Is it an issue with WM6.5 i wonders?
Basically it looks like it wont work with Opera at all. In Internet Explorer I can download and install the RActrlCE.cab file no prob. Looks good, can login to my list of computers, can even get as far as being connected to the required PC but when i click the Remote Control icon all i get is a white screen.
Any suggestions???
Have the same problem would really appreciate any help... Pls.
wm6.5 comes with the newer version of PIE (pocket internet explorer) which is not compatible with the plugin logmein uses for remote desktop. You can try and do a search to the wm6/6.1 PIE cab file. Hope that helps, cuz I was in the same boat.
LogmeIn works on my 6.5-official ROM in IE.

Not in mine!, you can install IE TOGGLE, it let's you use PocketIE (the old version of IE), with that Logmein works
log me in
it took me ages to work this out... i have to use the old version of explorer (downloaded from here somewhere, although the ie switcher might work also) and i need to use 'kfortp' which lets me type in logmein when i am connected, before i could connect but not type anything. crazy
LogMeIn's response
I raised a ticket with LogMeIn about this and got this highly useful reply 2 days later.
"We have discovered an issue when connecting to a LogMeIn computer using a mobile device running Windows Mobile 6.1.4 / 6.5 and IE6 Mobile. Currently, it is NOT possible to connect with these devices due to incompatibility with the plugin.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

If anyone is reading this don't install kfortouchpro. Which i read on another forum was required to get this to work. I don't see what the need for it is. Plus it froze my Touch Pro2 up on the first reboot after install. Luckily i was able to connect to my phone with activesync and uninstall the app to stop my phone from freezing up . Hope this helps someone. As far as Logmein working just use the two files below. Install XDA first, reboot, install IEtoggle, open IEtoggle, switch IE to PIE, start up IE and sign into logmein. This worked for me. Hope it helps someone. Sorry if this is already on this forum somewhere else.

I tried this and it works but now I cannot get IEtoggle to switch me back to IE6. I tried restarting and then selecting IEtoggle, thinking PIE was somehow still running, but even after this I am still stuck in PIE.
EDIT: Since this original post on 4/18 I have had to do a hard reset, since my email and SMS windows for individual messages (compose, read) were not popping up. I have no idea if it is related to using IEtoggle, but I am not going to use this again on my TouchPro2 6.5 just to be safe.
after some trial and error
Here goes, first off i apologize horizons1. I have the same phone and WM version as you. Haven't experienced any of these problems. All i can say is make sure you install XDA WM 6.1 PIE first, then reboot, then install IEtoggle might of been your problem. After further testing i have found that Kfortouchpro is necessary to log into windows from your log in screen or type any text once in windows. When opening kfortouchpro it lets you switch to M$ IME which is required for your keyboard to work. Now after testing this for a bit, if you don't switch it back to eT9/multiplay in the program before you reboot it will not display your slider bar to unlock your phone on boot up. Only way to fix is with activesync. Have tested this 3 times in different configs. I wish i could just use remote desktop thats built into WM. But i am currently connected behind two routers one being bridged to the other. Have tried many times to get this to work with no luck. So if anyone can help me with that, it would be much appreciated. Too bad logmein won't just patch this problem. Their program works great after jumping through all these hoops to get to your desktop.

hello everyone,
i've see a Version 11 of the Windows LIVE programm at my marketplace, but if i install it only version 10.7 will be installed.
On Microsofts Page i can only download version 10.7.
Has somebody a version higher than 10.7 on his device?
Seeing the same thing with facebook.
Which forgot to change the version number in the actual app (though it looks no different).
BHut I installed 11 windows live, and it still says 10.7, but it is 11, because it looks completely different.
before they "released" the 11 version a version named 10,9 was at the marketplace
i don't understand microsofts logic
Be careful installing 'latest versions' thinking they are better. The latest desktop version of MSN is *horrid*.
You mean version 2009?
Whats "horrid" about it? The layout, the backgrounds, the ability to actually change more of it without plugins like messengerplus?
The 10.7 version has annoying bug. If I disconnected from my network without signing out, it impossible to sign in again. I got a message that i'm already signed in... Does any one know how to fix this ?

It's not actually the same version as the one on the device. It appears to be another faux-pas on the part of Microsoft (they recently updated the facebook app, but not the version number!)

I'm about to bring back my htc shift too... anybody in 2020 with any luck installing windows 10?
I ran with Windows 10 until recently, but had to give up on it as it was too bogged down by background updates and telemetry. If you can turn everything off it should be usuable, but I reverted back to WIndows and decided to use my Shift as a permanently offline retro machine.

Don't worry, the touchscreen will eventually work in Windows 7&10 eventually, you just have to keep faffing. Once it works, it keeps working forevermore.
I can't remember the specifics, but I would recommend to keep doing the following in no particular i.e. random order:
install "VistaECDrvV"
install Intel VGA Driver
Install "TouchScreen"
run resolution changer exe (or change the resolution from the shift control centre)
If you keep trying the above and have no joy, you may have more luck with the Sherry graphics driver, which seems to be more sophisticated (it allows Flight Simulator X to run!)
At some point it might start blue screening, but just keep doing the above in various different order and eventually all will be well. If necessary boot into safe mode to undo whatever caused the bluescreening and try a different order.
The fact that the touchscreen is working in SnapVue shows that there is no hardware issue.
It will eventually work, but how much time you want to spend trying is up to you.
Which OS are you running by the way? I'm running Windows 7. Windows doesn't work with the wifi driver without further faffing, covered elsewhere in this forum, but I can point you directly to it if need be.
Good luck and have fun, and if the fun stops, stop!
