[NEW] K's Touch PCM Keyboard Skin & Layout - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Here's my PCM Touch Keyboard. The keyboard has HTC Symbol pad's symbols fully integrated into it. By holding down certain keys for 250ms, you'd be able to toggle certain symbols. For example, holding down "a" will show all the "a" accents. Holding down "spacebar" will show common browser shortcuts, and etc etc.
*I don't know why the first picture looks brighter than the others...*
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Holding down the numbers will also toggle some symbols. These are usually symbols that are listed on your ordinary full size keyboard. For example,
1=~, !
[email protected]
3=$ (and various $ signs)
5=%
As you can see, I have also included some ghetto smileys into the mode button tapping the mode button doesn't change anything as there's only 2 modes in this keyboard (caps lock and lower case - double tap shift to toggle between them). However, holding down the mode button will show some commonly used symbols found at the lower portion of a keyboard.
The keyboard is based on the English layout. If you native language is not English, simply change the first two lines of the layout to the layout you commonly use. Everything else should work regardless of the base layout.
Installation is simple, just toss both files into Program Files\PCM Keyboard, select the layout and skin from pcm keyboard option and you are done.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
-open up the layout file with notepad, and replace this line:
symbol_pad=0,)-_+±
There's an extra "-" in the original layout file as seen in picture.

sir.... looks good but couldnt try coz the file is corrupt....

Looks good, but do you still need to update the PCM Keyboard every now and then? Because the PCM Keyboard has "expired date" which is really annoying.
I would rather to pay (even in this beta version) rather than having to visit the site, download, uninstall, reinstall, etc. etc.

I'm not sure if 0.12 still expires....I'm actually rather new to PCM Keyboard...I skinned it because I wanted a better keyboard to be used with my touch style rom...and the touch xt9 keyboard/keypad is a pita.....
Well, I hope you guys like it, you can easily customize the keyboard layout file to show whatever symbols you want when you hold down a key

Wow! wonder ful. I like it...

I like the look. Its my new skin.
Shouldn't it be "http://" instead of "http:\\"?
Also i could never figure out why on the skins they always have the "'" key above the backspace instead of something like the ".". I don't use hte "'" key as much as I do ".". I usually just change it in the layout file myself.

Is it possible to have a button to switch screen orientation?

Really nice, i usually use the PhonePad, but with these nice tweaks u've done 2 it i'll 4sure give it a try...
Thanx for a great work

As noted above, the zip file seems to be corrupt. Downloads okay but won't open.

The current version of PCMK, v.12, is set to expire on Jan 15 or thereabouts. So, yes, it still does expire. I agree it is a bit annoying. But the keyboard is generally great with the rigth skin. I prefer the other "refined" one to this. This is complete, but the buttons are too small IMO. Still both are nice. Different strokes for different folks.

I was curious how this layout would look with my black iphone skin... So if you like BIG keys and this layout, you can select K's layout and one of the iphone skins from my thread above. The screen shot is of this configuration.
Good work K! I like some of your shortcuts.

Here is my skin and layout...

the bigger keyboard is nice. I'd skin it with the touch look later

Just wanted to see a side by side comparison.

is it just me because when holding down "spacebar" will show common browser shortcuts etc... nothing happens??

I opened the corrupt file in notepad and saw that is in fact a ".RAR" that was renamed to ".ZIP", why?, I don't know...
Just rename the file ext. from ".zip" back to ".rar" and it should work 100 %
Great skin dude...

You don't have to Unistall, reinstall thingy, just change the date to whatever before 15/Jan-08 and it will work..

Commercial (but not very much)
TenGo Thumb ( http://www.tengo.net/ ) -
MessagEase ( http://www.exideas.com )
SPD Full Screen Keyboard ( http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com )
No cost (just some generous persons sweat)
HTC PhonePad (this site)
HappyTapping KeyBoard (seen it here too - search)
and probably many more
My recommendations (but depends on the size of your fingers)
SPD Full Screen KB (about USD10) - good for text entry into documents, not for fields, finger (thumb) friendly
HappyTapping KB - just usable with finger but really needs stylus but bigger easier than standard

Try this one http://www.gvmobile.com/ it is realy good with many languages
Onscreen Keyboard alternative
I have been using MessagEase (from [U]www.exideas.com[/U]) and it has worked for me quite well. I highly recommend it.
It has fewer, larger key that you can either click with a stylus or a finger (large keyboard mode). They have a full trial download, 2 months I believe.
It looks strange at first. But once you figure out the simple logic behind it (taps for most frequent letters, and slides for the other) it really makes sense.
Recently some one at ZDNet reviewed it quite favorably.
Here is a picture from their site.

Think he meant it registers what character you want to enter upon release of a key and not when initially touching it.
yeah you use the word touch for that right

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

I tried to use with the keyboard but many of our word is with åäö och the keyboard can't "find" the words from T9.
This program has great potential and it is just what i have been looking for, thanks for all your hard work in all your programs, anyways my only problem is that it isn't as quick as i would like it to be, otherwise great software.
All I've got to say is "Bad. . . Ass. . ." lol Great job as usual Tene.

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.

Ya i think that must be it thanks for da quick reply
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.

Nice job!
You beat me to it I was working on the same skin and noticed this post. I tend to like a larger space bar and am used to using the pop up option or symbol pad for numbers, so I modified one of my iPhone layout files to work with this skin. These screen shots are your skin file with the Eng iphone 15 layout file (attached).
One thing to point out is you need to have clear type enabled in settings, system (tab), screen, ClearType (tab) in order for the text to display as shown.
This thread has more details on the layout features:

Great your layout is easier on the fingers as the spacebar and symbols are larger. I only did a direct port on the keyboard from the touch keyboard/keypad. I've got an idea in making the touch qwerty layout more convenient will post up the layout in a bit. Also, 2manyphones, you might want to change the spacebar symbol pad to something more useful, or change the # of keys to 4 or 6. You will know why after you press and hold on the keyboard
EDIT: nvm what I said, for some reasons putting space in symbol pad isnt possible without another letter together with it. I'll modify the skin a little to make it more aesthetically pleasing with your layout.
Updated Skin for Eng iphone 15 layout
Here's an altered skin to be used specifically with 2manyphones' Eng iphone 15 layout.
Touch-XL-sym.skin = Shows Sym on mode button
Touch-XL-123.skin = Shows 123 on mode button
2manyphones, feel free to post it up in your thread
Thanks! I guess that does make more sense having the numbes pop up from a key labeled 123 instead of SYM.
Here are some screenshots with the Touch-XL 123 skin file and the Eng iphone15 layout file.
Hey Kin0Kin, how about making a cab file with both skins and this layout, so people can easily install them and choose what works best for them?
Sure, I'll pack up all the layouts and the touch skin, including my older one. As an auto install cab

Italian layout? Can I have it?
is it possible to get the "5R-wwe-sym layout" layout without the number row? I really like the popups for "http://" etc. Nice skin too, good work!
you guys put HTC to shame.. what a sh!tty keyboard they shipped.
so I bow, I salute.. you did a great job tthis and the PC Keyboard are a MUST have for anyone with the htc touch
If you're like me and:
- love qwerty
- hate having to hit the same key multiple times
- not stylus crazy. ( useful but not ALL the time )
then this is what you need. I installed and so far so good. The skin is so sweet it looks like ti shipped with HTC.
I'm no expert, this is the first thing I've "installed" imply copied to my documents and ran the PC keyboard, then I downloaded the skin and copied into the program files folder for PC Keyboard and I've been smiling since!!!
Thanks guys!
Great skin, many thanks for your work!!!
The Touch-QWERTY is working with standard PCM KB Russian layout, seem to be ok.
Best Layout EVER !
Great layout and great instructions.
Sometimes I think people forget that there are noobs like me around
and get frustrated when people ask "stupid" questions or need clear
instructions. Thanks again.

What's new in V3?
Thanks to our customer feedback and their support to our continueous innovation, there're a bunch of new features in V3:

* Press-hold a key will expand all the characters on that key, including the accented letters (e.g., "a" for "á").
* Prediction is now based on context.
A lot more features and enhancements are available in V3. A detail list of new stuffs in V3 >>

Hebrewwwwwwww!
ok.. to be more specific than just yelling "HEBREW"... we israelies are having problems with writing in Hebrew in our keyboards after upgrading to WM6 because Eyron is dumb. (atleast in my eyes). and paragon supports only hebrew screen keyboard writing and not the physical keyboard. i believe that if they added hebrew to touchpal many israelies would buy it.
something to think about.
great news, installed already can't help with the skins though.
Ok, because no one was doing anything about a terrible standard skin , I changed all available png files to black and white in a graphic program. That did not take care of some backgrounds (ie help tag) and there is still a blue line across the keyboard. But I have no clue how to sort these out... Can anyone help?
BTW this SIP is amazing.

I've tried a bunch of keyboard programs and I have to say that this one is my favorite. Took just a bit of getting used to though. I just wish the installer didn't ask so many questions. That makes it tought to use UC.
i've attached the CAB if anyone wants it. Its a 15 day trial of Pro, then reverts to Standard.
Hebrew Lang Pack
Can't wait for it to come out.. i need a comfortable hebrew keyboard so bad.
Any way to alter rows & columns with skins?
I doubt this can be done because I didn't see anything about it on Cooktek's tutorial, but can you only change the keyboard color with skins?
I was excited to see that this new version adds a 9-key (usually that would be called a 12-key) layout because I like that for one-handed typing a lot, but it looks like you're still stuck with 5 columns.
I would much prefer to have bigger button in 3 columns like the htc keypad for portrait mode. Only problem with that one is the "side-effects" of XT9.
So is there any way to skin this new version and change the layout to 3 columns in portrait mode?
The awful sound
can i get rid of the nasty sound when i scroll left or right to select new keyboard layout...it makes a sound like a bomb is about to land on you
fixed: go to option and scroll until you find a selection to disable it.
This is a great keyboard. Amazing!
Just one question though, is there a way to change the color from blue to black?

Friends, I want to ask who own an iPhone?
Is this keyboard really looks the same with iPhone?
Last time I ever used the happy tapping keyboard and pocketcm keyboard but
not really same..until I tried this one I have a feeling that its the same, am I right?
nice i will give it a go. down own a iphone yet will in 6 days tho
I think this one is much better..
I am using it..
And qVGA NO?
I trying for create qVGA, and after testing - letters are badly spaced...
I'm too lazy to create "working" qVGA skin :-D

I liked the carbon skin before I saw that once you clicked a letter it has a purple outline on the letters =/ It looked fugly so i switch to the iPhone skin.
Kraize
I think the creators are going to create QVGA version soon since I read at the site..it will be released soon..btw is it really look alike like iPhone keyboard?
i've got a friend with an iphone, from what i remember it's pretty close if not spot on. i'll ask to see next time i see him
Would be nice if title states that the skins are for Resco KB pro which is not free.
Also the two skins mentioned so far appear to be fromt he same author, Kie, who is also the contest winner.
The skins look almost identical except the background is slightly different.
quick question: With resco KB Pro, if you type something that is on the bottom of a page, will the KB cover it up or will it automatically shift the page up so you can see what you are typing? If not, is there any KB that will do this (besides the Full Screen Keyboards out there).

Usually I try to move the scroll bar on the left side to go down if the keyboard has cover the writings but this theme really rocks on my vga device..I have asked my friends who own an iPhone and she says yes it is really the same
I'll be watching for QVGA for this........I like the iSkin TI skin I'm using now but i'd love to try this one
QVGA would be nice
Wow what a nice keyboard..I have used the QVGA version and it works well on my device yes this skin really looks like iPhone..I have seen the video on youtube.
Here is the video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=D3pYZgA4a_Y
QVGA is out. Click on the landscape picture to download.
I still prefer PCM Keyboard to Resco
PCM is free and I like how PCM allows you to put any pop-up keys from any main key.
The graphics on this resco skin are a little better than my iClone skin for PCM, due to how the skins are configured. Resco allows you to crate a background with the keys and then map the individual key identifiers. Much better than PCM, that you must create a left side, center and right side of the key to create one key.
With my layout you can easily get caps letters without the gesture (press and hold on a letter) and quick punctuation like ". " (period and a space) or .com from pressing and holding the space bar.
I have an iphone and have used it for almost a year and like my pcm skin better with the custom layout. Yes the keys are bigger on the iPhone, but the capacitive screen is almost too sensitive for typing.
Anyway to each their own. Try my skins and you may like PCM better.

I would like to try but there are no VGA one
Thats why I prefer Resco since they have a lot of collection of skin..The pressed button on iKie skin is marvelous..its really looks similar with the iPhone one

Yea sorry... Until the auto-complete bug gets fixed in PCM V14 AND I get a touch diamond or touch pro I don't want to spend the time on a VGA version.
I have tried pocketcm on my device but its too slow I dun know why..I just not used to it maybe but resco keyboard pro is quite fast..and also touchpal
