Chaps,
Have searched in the Hermes forum but no joy. There is a thread in the Leo forums but it doesn't tell me what I am looking for.
Has anyone successfully used this keyboard on a Hermes? If yes how did you get it to work?
I simply get a blank screen when I tap into it.
Your comments appreciated.
Thanks
WB

Is it WM6.5 only?
Mike
Mike,
I don't know is the short answer. I am using WM6.1 and simply assumed that this would work in a 6.xx rom.
I will hop onto their website to see if there is any substance in your theory. Would be surprised if there is as they would be doing themselves out of a significant cut of the market. After all 6.5 only got officially released a few weeks ago!
Thanks for the input though.
Anybody else?
WB
PS: Hmm, you might be right Mike. Their forum seems to suggest that it only works in 6.5. Great keyboard but having to load up 6.5 to run it is not an attractive option.
Pretty loath to destabilise my rock solid stable device. Will have to look for an alternative that is similar in concept.
WB
I've got it working no problems on mine. I'm running CRC's 13.4, which is a WM6.1 rom. I am using the QVGA cab from here.
It seems totally stable, and is by far the best keyboard I have come across.
Jez,
Thanks a bunch. I managed to find that thread about an hour ago but appreciate the input.
The qvga version works like a charm! Can't believe how quick one can be using this.
Word of warning; will only install onto main memory so make sure you have some space to do so.
Cheers
WB
Now you've got that solved, I think I'll try it as well
Mike
Let us know what you think. I love it as you can use it either as a traditional tap keyboard, a slider or both!
Only small issue for me is I make mistakes when I am tired as I can't always remember where the letters are on the querty keyboard as I do the slide (lol).
This, even though I have been using querty for donkey years
Enjoy.
WB
The link for the cab has gone
It does look a very good app and I hope they bring it out soon so I can try it.
Look for an app called Shape writer...

Find this from other forum. Work fine on my HTC Trinity.
More screenshot
oh its taing too much of real estate My screen area!
Does it support VGA?
Backlight working ?
Does the backlight button work with this release ? In the other version your device will freeze at bootup....anyone tested already ?
btw: seems to be the same version like in the other post....
Cheers
Edit:
Could not wait Just installed, no problems on my device (Artemis) and Backlight-button. Looks cool.
What i don't like: in the GUI-Config you can only add apps from the Programs-directory (for example: when you want to add solitaire (which is stored in "Games"), you need to move the shortcut into the Programs-Folder....or you need to add the registry-key in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCPlus\Shortcuts manually....or am i wrong ?
But in the end.... i think i stay with HTC Home....
Works on Artemis?!

It's interenting that you had no problems. I also installed on my Artemis with official HTC Asia WM6 rom and yes, it works until you switch off the device. Than you can never switch it on again, only by soft reset with stylus!
So I uninstalled the prog quickly...
Otherwise it would be nice to have it on Today screen, so if someone could construct a bug-free cab from the extracted files I would really welcome it!
cheers
Anybody tried this on a Touch?
The "other" Version (as petervbeck says) in the Hermes Forum doesn't work on the Touch.
I doesn't work on my Touch!
Working on Wizard
HTC Plus is Working on Wizard!
just 2 bugs:
when you select battery status in Customization and you tab on the symbol you go to wifi settings and backlight is not working

I'm using Tom's 4.1 full and as i said, no problems. But in fact- i like HTC Home more, but that's my opinion.... on my device i had no problem with hanging boots or something similar, i tested all the buttons....but not for a long time...then i switched back to HTC home...that's my expirience with Plus..
Cheers
How about a little credit where credit is due? This is the same version I posted in the Hermes forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326689
Today I posted an updated version that should help some people who had problems with it.
This tool was non-functional when I found it. I had to dissassemble the dlls to find out why the utility would not work (missing HTCImgCodec.dll).

Thanks! Keep the great work!

Is the "aplication launching pad" of HTC plus finger-scrollable, or the only way to scroll is by tapping on the arrow?
TIA
Can anyone confirm that it uses less memory than HTC Home?

nobody seems to answered earlier question, does this support vga?
cheers
how do you remove HTC plus!? I like it but it freezes my PPC6700 sometimes. I don't use it but I cannot remove it from the today settings menu. Thanks
I do not know if this plugin supports VGA. If you have a VGA device, try it out and let us know.

Hi guys i found this on ppcgeeks.com

Can anyone rewrite the cab - I mean i´m german and i´m useing a german rom and the the cab install will install everything on storage card - but in german system its called Speicherkarte.. Can anyone help
I tried this last night, and had nothing but problems, had no responce from the screen, it worked once, and i will admit that it looked very nice.
it just stopped responding, i couldnt even get into the settings or file explorer to remove the WAD or WA from startup folder.
in the end i had to hold the windows and ok hard keys on my touch cruise to reset the damn thing.
I would suggest you back everything up if you try these cab's.
good luck, i hope you all have more luck than me.
WAD2 is still in RC form...there are still bugs that are being worked out till a final release.

That sounds bad...
I hope someone makes it multilangual....
I tried it on my Orbit 2 ..Works really well and responsive...like the animated gesture transitions...(imho its the fastest diamond theme available)
I just installed the deskop not the taskbar thing(don't like it)
Very configurable....still playing with it...
This is a good UI, and very good theme. I have very much enjoyed converting this them to work on the 320x 320 platform. I think you will see many more using the WAD2 in the near future as it is very flexible and quite responsive and not a memory hog.
Jdume I posted a message on the WAD forum you can respond there or here whichever is more convenient.
i used to use WAD for getting the vista theme on my device, really need to get into it again, cos i think probably did something wrong.
i might try again in a few weeks when i have some more spare time, does the diamond theme have any cool transitions? i mean close to the original thing, i heard months ago that WAD2 was next gen. and that would support such transitions.

Hi bobsbbq what programs did you use to convert it to 320x320.
I like to convert it to vga (atleast try) so any help is appriciated.
Greetings Gentox.

thanks for the skin, finally a reason for me to upgrade from .14.
Hi Nottingham,
I know that your previous skins* on v0.14 work perfect.
I am gonna test it right now and give you feedback in a few days,
Congratulations for that awesome work,
Thanks
(*) diamond skin : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412048
and beautiful Black one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431196
ps: your link to PocketCM points out the v0.14, but your wonderful skins are made for PCMK v0.23 here : http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboardnew.php
hi,
After more than 24h of test I can say that your skins work very well !
The Topaz is really nice : to me it's the best skin ever for PCMK.23
So, it's great on my Diamond and in my opinion you should post it at PocketCM in "Get Skins"
Keep up good work like that,
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad that you like it.
I've been away for the weekend so I haven't been able to read it up until now. And I've fixed the link. Thank you!
hmm is there a colon character anywhere for int. english?
:
need this for web addresses. thanks
Sorry about that. ".," was supposed to turn into ":;" when activating "shift/caps" but I seem to have forgot about int in the international & french layout.
The issue is fixed and the downloads have been updated. Just download the new file and replace the old one. You might have to unload it and clear the "_cache" for it to change.
Sorry about that, and thank you for making me aware of it.
yeah I am seeing it now, thanks for the fix.
is there any way to get a german layout for PCM 0.23? I tried to edit the default layout but it does not work that good as I aspected it to do... Would be great if you may help!
Hi Nottingham,
I'm very sorry your skins are discontinued but is there still a way to download them?
I'm using the Black Diamond skin daily with PocketCM Keyboard 0.14, but never had the chance to try your 0.23 skins
Plus, it was playing very nicely with the Dark Diamond skin I made for PocketCM.
Cheers,
Hope to see you again.
Alex.
Sorry, lost all backups awhile ago. Now I'm exclusively on mac and text edit on os x don't save *.txt's in the same matter as notepad/wordpad on windows does. Which translates into "corrupted" files on the handset.
I've realized it's stupid to have a winmo phone without having a pc, so I won't be modding or tweaking anymore (and I doubt my next handset will be a smartphone).
It was just a small spare time hobby, so if I can't use simple tools in a simple matter, it's not worth the trouble to me.
Your PocketCM skin looks really nice, so I'm sure that you can create something much better than what I've done.
Good luck, and thank you.
Hey
i saw in the big MUST HAVE thread that it is posible to instal swype on my PRO2. but the link there wasn't working it give's that the file was deleted does anyone know how to get swype on my PRO2
Gr
Is this what your looking for?
Heres a cab I have. For some reason though it will not change from the default one to the swype keyboard until you complete the tutorial. If you try to just switch it to the swype keyboard, it will just show the default one. So you have to do the tutorial. This "glitch" also applies to the swype that is cooked into a rom (like mine). If anyone knows a work around feel free to pitch in but I think its a minor inconvenience considering how great it is. It also does require some training for swype to work efficiently. Any more questions feel free to ask.
yes this is where i was looking for.
but i got one problem it give's me a error wrong land im in it sais "open of EnglishUS failded!" so do u have 1 for another area (im living in the Neterhlands in europe).
thnx alot already
GR
Unfortunately I don't have one. Maybe someone else can contribute to this thread & offer you some help. Hopefully someone with more experience (a chef, ect.) can help you. Sorry.
Try this one out.
thnx but also this program is not working i got the same error
View attachment Swype.cab
This is what i have on my stock t mobile touch pro 2 running windows 6.5 it appears to be the same size as the other two but hey worth a shot.
All of those cab are from the Samsung Omnia.. here's the one that works! it came with TMo HD2 with a matching HTC skin. works great with my Tilt 2

No Tutorial
This is the version of Swype I've been using. Used it for a while now.
No tutorial needed, so there's that. It may be an older version, I don't know.
All I know is I haven't had to do a tutorial.
On NON-WWE ROMs you have to move the swype folder from your locale program files folder to /Program Files/.

thnx for the help byebye GR
Wow, I'm overwhelmed by how many cabs are posted by users. Are there any differences in the versions? Which is the latest version?
---
I've just uninstalled some of Livven's SimpleGloss themes thinking the sudden freezes were the problem on my Rhodium (touch pro 2). The only thing left to uninstall since the last issues is the Swype keyboard. Anyone else having issues?
This is so sad because I was really enjoying Swype. It made email writing so much easier.
