Finger Keyboard 2.1 WQVGA

[Guest thierryyy]

fter the great success of version 1, Rozenthal from xda-developers has released version 2.1 of FingerKeyboard2, a finger friendly pocket pc freeware keyboard.

INSTALLATION:

IF YOU HAVE OLDER VERSIONS OF FINGERKEYBOARD, PLEASE UNINSTALL THEM BEFORE INSTALLING V2.1! After removing old version, please restart the device and remove FingerKeyb folder before proceeding!

Run the attached .cab file (recommend you install to device memory).

The keyboard will install into /Program files/FingerKeyb. There is also a link to Configuration tool in the Start > Programs.

After installation, a Configuration utility will open. Here you can customize the layouts, choose color schemes and configure various options of FingerKeyboard2.

Click on OK and softreset the device.

Open up your standard keyboard (in SMS for example), click on the small arrow next to the middle keyboard icon and go to “Other input options”.

FingerKeyb should be listed there, select it and you’re good to go!

If you wish to set FingerKeyb as default keyboard, even after restart of your device, use SIP change application. Remember to set the time-delay to 40-50 seconds!

HOW TO UNINSTALL?

Go into Settings > System > Remove programs. It is listed as “Exidler’s FingerKeyboard”.

Hi,

Are they for Omnia?

[Guest thescope]

I have it since it came out (2 days ago?) anywho, It is the BEST keyboard ever!! they remove the buttom bar so to give you more screen when the keyboard is up, and lots of display options and general options.

They did a fantastic job.

ive never used touchpal, but i will try and install it sometime and let you guys know....

the new i910 firmware has the buttons pop up on samsung keypad... i thought it always did that cause mine kinda of worked like that.

maybe mine was a new version before i got it replaced? lol

Thanks, will be looking forward to your review =)

[Guest theidoctor.org]

Thanks, will be looking forward to your review =)

well so far, both apps seem pretty even.

The fingerboard 2.1 is very easy to use, very basic, and has a couple things you can customize... like smileys and bind certain keys with words or sentences. Its also free... but in its early stages of beta.

the other is quite confusing, but still good and i kinda like it more. The only thing is you have to pay to have the good stuff.

-----------------------

i will write some more later

[Guest psypher]

2.1 is a huge improvement from 2.0

I tried Fingerboard. It was interesting but then I saw reference to Touchpal, tried that and have stuck with it. The full version is awesome. Great error correction, predictive even to the next word. I highly recommend Touchpal over any other keypad typer.

[Guest Krueschi]

I have a big Problem with this Keyboard.

I tried to install the CAB for omnia but everytime, at the end comes: The installation failed.

Has anyone an idea why the installation failed on my omnia?

Install it to your 'Device Memory' not 'My Storage.' It should work

[Guest Krueschi]

I have installed FKB on the Device Storage, My Storage and the micro SD Card too.

It didn´t work on anyone Storage. That is my Problem.

I have delete the Folders, Reset my Omnia and try some other versions of FKB .. nothing works.

I dont know what to do <_<

[Guest Itlooksfast]

I dont know if these fixes will work with the 2.1 version. I have installed the 2.1 version tried the fixes and for some reason it didnt work. Maybe I didnt something wrong...but im pretty happy with 2.0 version...

Hi,

I have been using this for a few days now, even modding the layouts a bit (needed a better swedish keyboard).

I have one problem tho: since I installed it, my phone has started to get stuck in sleep mode, just once or twice every day, it wont come back on no matter what I do, and is forced to soft reset it. Anyone else having similar problems?

I dint have this problem with 2.0, just 2.1..

Also: does anyone know of a good editor that can handle unicode/utf-8, would really like this so that I can edit the layouts directly on the phone and not need to transfer the layout .txt files to a computer first? 

Thanks.

I keep getting s skin error:resolution for screen size not found.....does this not work on htc touch pro?

You need the VGA version as HTC Touch Pro uses a VGA resolution. The version here is WQVGA for Omnia.
