I have made 1 new and thats the Carribean sea skin with both an qwerty and azerty multilanguage layout. The other skin i have edited the Iphone skin 2manyphones made (His orginal post) a little so it fits my layouts. I think he has done som great work on that skin . Iphone also got qwerty and azerty layouts.
For more info, pictures and downloading you can see on these two links.
Carribean sea skin
Iphone skin
At this there is no VGA skin of them. But i'm thinking of make them. I dont have any VGA phone so can be a little hard to test them so if some one could help me with that i would thankful for that
Seems like the multilanguage layout works out great for me. If there is any letters or symbols you miss tell me. Also write the symbol/letter both in caps and lower since it would be easyer for me to add them.
This is the letter associations these layouts have now:
aåáàäãą¥,eæéèêëę,iíîï,oøóôöõ,uúùüû,cçć,sšß,zžżź,yý,nñ,lł
Correct me if some of the symbols are on the wrong place. Symbol pads are added for every letter.
Hope you like them and would like to hear what you think about the color scheme on the Carribean sea skin.

I have uploaded the skins now. But you could download them the forum i linked to
You did a great job, especially with the heaps of symbol pads hidden everywhere. What I don't like is the very small "shift" key, since we germans need it quite often. Is there a way, to make it bigger?

Hey good you liked it . Could you tell me what skin you are using and maybe how mutch bigger you think the shift button should be. Cause have to make some other button smaller if the shift button should be bigger. So have to look at it.

Well, I'm using the really nice iphonegrey skin. I'd like to have the shift key about as big as the backspace or return keys. I could best live with a smaller return key, since I really don't use this one very often. So maybe the return key would be the right button to shrink a little in size. Keep up the good work!
Here is the English version with a bigger shift key. I didn't mess too much with the shift and symb screens, but it should be a little better.
Keep in mind you need to use both the skin AND the layout file for this to display right.
Tweak as you like!
Can this be used for VGA Devices?

Nice skin, but I have three questions:
1. Can you make a blue version (like the real iphone) using this new layout (Gray 3.5)?
2. Can you make a backspace a little bigger (version 3.5)?
3. There is a bug in "return" button. If you press and hold for 250ms, one menu it's appears (option - cut - copy - paste), but with your skin, you will see just a black "button".
Thanks a lot and as always, sorry my bad english..
Really like this app. Using Ialu layout ... with some modifications and replacing the graphics, here's what I have.
BTW, how can I use a different png graphics for shift/backspace/space/return when the key is pressed?

2. Try his original layout. The bigger shift key and smaller backspace were requested by me.
BTW thanks Ialu. I like the bigger shift key now.

Hi 2manyphones, would it be possible to move the backspace key(x) away from the right, it is a bit hard to get to it. This is only in lowercase letters, it uppercase letters it is correct. Otherwise loving this layout, much easier to type.
I also have the blank buttons when holding the Return button, until you slide over the buttons.
hope more themes for POCKETCM keyboard
keyboard displays different on my Kaiser
I absolutely love this keyboard app and skin, but when installed on my kaiser, it's misaligned. the picture on the right is from my kaiser and the picture on the left is from the GrayIphone 3.5 zip file
it
looks like the height of the keyboard is too short. am i out of luck or can this be fixed with some type of adjustment. thanks in advance for any suggestions...

You need to select both the skin file and the correct layout file for it to display correctly. From your screen shot it is clear the wrong layout file is selected. Sometimes you also need to do a soft reboot to get it to change.
I added = and + to the English layout 2.1 with number keys along the top of the symbol pad.
Use this layout file with the iPhone 3.3 skin.
layout file...
I love the gray Iphone skin. I have used it for a while now. I got it from tene pocketcm site. I was using underwatertub's iphone + smilies but the keys on this one are way larger.
Would it be possible to add a layout to the english edition so that when a user presses and holds the "." key a row pops up giving the options of punctuation? For example ?!,()etc and maybe a few smilies? Underwatertub did it on his and man it works great!!!
Also, on the "," could have a pop up on a press and hold function, that had a numeric row.
Only ideas, the skin is awesome!!!!
Curious George
Just noticed that holding down the ".?123" button does do some of this.
Another idea: What about predifined text with a press and hold on "Return"...ie Running late. yes. no. call me....etc

Thanks. I'm glad you like the skin. You can change what characters display on each page in the layout file. It can be opened and edited in wordpad. Just make sure you don't add or delete any spaces, so the skin still displays correctly. As for holding the return key to get quick replies, that is a good idea, but to my knowledge the return key pop up is set to options, cut, copy and paste. Meaning I don't think it can't be customized at this point. I made this skin primarily for my own use, so fogive me if my response to requests is not as fast as underwaterdub or others who have posted their own skins. I will keep making tweaks, taking into account forum feedback and personal usage and posting when I can.

I'm looking for larger dialpad buttons? I've seen a lot of crap all over the place which is more of a piece together and there is always SOMEONE posting with bad news... such as "can't uninstall it" or "smart dial doesn't work" etc...
Is there a fully functioning (even if I have to pay money) keypad (dial screen buttons) with big buttons on it?
Thanks in advance!
try netcom smart dialer 2.5 - not free
There is another called reTOUCHed_Dialer2. This has much bigger buttons and easier than the built-in layout.
I am hoping somebody will have one with a different skin, though. The straight black keys are not my thing.

The reTOUCHed Dialer can be "skinned" (and I've seen a few). If you look at Dutty's planned no. 7 rom that dialer will be in it, and it will have blue/green buttons. I think Schaps' has it with purple.
Basically the dialer mainly consists of graphics for the backgrounds and buttons. You just need to edit all of them in an grapics program and you can modify it to how you want it.
Here's the cab for the standard Touch looking one.
After many months of tweaking this skin, I think it is about as good as it can get (for my personal use). For those of you not familiar with PCM Keyboard, it is a program being developed as a replacement on screen keyboard for PPC devices.
I am providing the skin and layout files only, please refer any program or device compatibility questions to the developers thread or website.
The latest version the application can be downloaded at this link (keep in mind the developer currently puts an expiration of 30 days on each version until it is commercially released. So plan on upgrading to the newest version each month or plan on purchasing the software when it is launched):

XDA thread with the latest version information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321712
There are two types of files that have to be loaded onto your device and selected in the options/settings for this skin to work: The keyboard layout file and the keyboard skin file. Choose either the Eng 2many or Eng 2many., layout (the second having the , and . next to the space bar) AND either the 2many GreyiPhone or 2manyiClone skin. I suggest restarting the device to make sure everything has changed correctly.
This design was done to allow almost any layout work with this skin, so check out the multi language layouts and a "azerty" layout created by ialu in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330525
Here are some features of this skin:
Main screen:
-Numbers pop up if you press and hold the "123#?" key
-Basic symbols pop up from the space bar. Period with a space is the default pop up key, so if you press and hold too long and don't slide to another symbol, you will get a period and a space.
-If you press and hold a letter, you will get a caps letter (idea borrowed from my BlackBerry).
-Caps lock is still double press on the shift (up arrow) and double press to change back to lower caps.
On the symbol keyboard (one press of 123#?):
-If you press the internet explorer key you will get "http://www."
-If you press and hold the internet explorer key you can choose: https://, .net, .org, .com or www.
The Grey iPhone skin / layout also supports landscape. This was not easy and I had to compromise some eye candy to get all the buttons to look right in both orientations. It does take up a LOT of screen in landscape, but I didn't want to make the buttons smaller for portrait use.
Keep in mind all of this customization is set in the layout file and can be opened and modified in wordpad. The only trick is making sure it is saved as a .layout file. I suggest making a copy of the layout file you are changing, rename it, make your changes and then save it (not save as).
I made this skin for my personal use and am sharing because I haven't seen anything else that works as good - for me. I am not a developer or a designer, so again please try to search for questions in the thread links I have provided. Please feel free to modify, use, distribute any of the graphics or file settings - no need to ask

I download the zip file but how do I install it on my PPC 6800 ?
PHP:
Excellent! Thanks! Though I will need to slightly mod it to add the "_". No one seems to put that on their layouts. Apparently, I'm the only one who ever uses it, and I do in my passwords sometimes...
EDIT: Just noticed that a hold of the "-" will also do a "_". Cool! I'll still add a dedicated button for it. I don't need the .com since I made the press and hold of the http button default to a .com, instead of .net, and also I use the "_" much more than .com as I have most of my sites bookmarked...
But awesome skin again! Thanks for the time and effort!

1. Download the program cab from the link on post one (v12 is the current).
2. Install onto the device
3. Using active sync, open the folder program files\PCMKeyboard
4. Drag all of the files in the zip (or just the iphone12 skin and eng iphone12 layout if you don't want the multi language options).
5. Go to settings, input and select PCM Keyboard as the input method
6. Click on the options button and change the keyboard layout and keyboard skin to Eng iphone12 and iPhone 12. See the screen shot. I alsot changed the feedback on letters to 30 ms from the default 100. This is how long it takes for the feedback graphic to pop up. Basically 30 is if you want it to show up quickly when you press letters (like the actual iPhone) or if you want to type faster and not have it show the pop up of the letter you pressed, leave it at 100.
7. Once the options are set, press OK and OK to exit the input screen.
8. I suggest restarting the device to make sure the layout and skin set correctly. If you do not have a SIP change program on your device, when you restart, it will default back to the standard keyboard. I recommend default IM and have attached the cab file in this post. Install it, run it and it should keep PCMKeyboard as your default, even after restarts.
just installed works great thanks!
Awesome
One word - AWESOME!!
is there a possibility to include a copy/cut/paste/undo button? would be handy.
or just a Control button to be used incombination with X/C/V/Z as in the default SIP
EDIT: very nice skin btw!!thx for sharing..
I Love it!!
This is Really good!
Just a view question,
Could you make the same thing only then change the colors
so, dark keys with light characters?
Would make it complete!
and is it costumizable?
because i have changed the order of the characters ever sinds i use pcm keyboard.
but now when i use your skin i don't get numbers but special characters when holding the 123 button.
and i don't have a . next to it so i lost the extra options when holding that.
can i change it my self in one of the files?

Hello
does anyone know of a cab (preferably free) that I can add so when I text someone from my contact list or just text in general, there is a more finger friendly keyboard that comes up? It sucks having to use a stylus all the time if I want to use the touch screen.
or better yet, has anyone heard of a speech recognition software that lets you speak your message and have it converted to text?
Thanks
Adam

QWERTY and extended keyboard formats are included and it has a great amount of options and error correction. It even allows you to adjust the size on the screen.

Resco has a nice keyboard that is easy to use if you select the iphone keyboard. It's the easiest I have found anyway.

Hey folks,
I'm very, very new to installing new software on my HTC TD2, but I've been browsing a bit around on the web. Looking for a keyboard that actually works with my fingers. I really dislike those QWERTY keyboards, I simply want a 0-9 keyboard with buttons filling up like 50%+ of the screen, like some samsungs have! I just wanna be able to type while I'm walking and such, not always having to depend on my stylus,
I hope you people get what I mean and that someone could help me out
yfrog.com/efnaamloosqp
I crappy image which I've made with paint + touchpad, so don't mind the quality. Just to give an example
Thanks in advance people!
When typing, press the little arrow next to the keyboard icon at the bottom of your screen. Press phonepad
Hi!
Is it possible to install and use the original WM6.5 keyboard and input methods in conjunction with the EzInput 2.1 keyboards from HTC? Now the SIP selector only shows the HTC keyboards.
BTW: I'm using a cooked 6.5 (21891) ROM with manila 2.5.20113626.

Figured that one out already, but there are many 'useless' buttons like the: ' | " | and others which fill up way to much of the screen, I'm really looking for something that just mainly shows numbers in a size that makes it very easy to click them!
Just make the link as I posted it in my first post, as I made a little image to show what I mean ^^
Grrr... i haven't been active for a while now since i'm EXTREMELY busy and as you can also see i'm not a mod anymore, unfortunately (hope i can come back as one soon).. but i'd like to drop these off.
I was sort of sick of having to blindly search for letters and numbers.. so.. hope this supports any of you.
now... XXL means XXL... this is big (oh and portrait only, i might add landscape later on).
btw, this goes for QVGA, VGA and WVGA altogether tho the pics are all from my WVGA Blackstone (it looks the same on all devices except that in VGA and QVGA screens you have less room on top.)
Installation: copy all files to your Finger Keyboard/Skins dir and load the Finger Keyboard configurator. choose EngXXL or HebXXL and remember to backup your digits txt file because this one replaces the original one.
cheers.
p.s you're all invited to change this layout and add your own language.. you're also invited to send it over so i can add it to the thread.
its not working in my omnia i900
Nice, key sizes are basically perfect on the HD2!
Only change I would make is probably shift the position of the next layout/digits button... it's a bit inconsistent having it jump around between the left corner and next to the spacebar.
