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):

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?

File search functionality whole partial any non case sensitive.
open, edit, save, save as, preview text,xml, css, html basically any readable format.
built in terminal emulator with soft keyboard support for devices without a hard keyboard.
This is still a beta so there are a few bugs as well as some soon to come UI changes.
keep in mind this is not ugly but it is not meant to be a "pretty" file browser. There are enough of those out there. This was designed for functionality.
{

Enter Key on soft keyboard does not work in terminal client. need to use the trackball >>if anyone knows this fix id love to hear it.<<
soft keyboard in landscape mode needs to be toggled on 2x the first time you open it.
Post any Bugs, issues, or ideas here please
Updates:
Changed Search UI so that it is no longer its own activity. This will allow the user to back out of the search box and still use the switcher on the bottom to switch between search, browse, and terminal.
Replaced pop up in search box with Search hint.
Corrected the trackball from defaulting to control key when changing Terminal prefs. Basically it will allow it to work as the enter key again after changing preferences.
Current users will have to change the preferences the first time they update in order to correct the issue if you previously had it.
menu> preferences> command key: select something other than jog ball
Updates 1.5:
Fixed Search UI bug
added preferences for List color, Text Size, and Selector Color
New:
Added ability to create sym links
Updates 1.6:
Email Support
Better thread processing to prevent system hangs and crashes.
Random amusement?
Updates 1.7:
Multiple Viewer and editor support Support
Issue with 1.7:
It appears that something was miscodded causing crashing whenever a dialog attempts to appear this will be fixed tonight I appologize in advance.
The app is currently unpublished for now. until i can fix this
1.7 Re-Published as 1.7.1:
Delete / Paste Crash Fixed
Update 1.7.5:
Search Fixed for Newer Hero Build
Current Directory/Browse To bar implemented
Partition RW/RO Status added
Update 1.7.8:
Filter set up for "Browse To" bar to prevent typos.
Bugs: Symlinks Broke?
Not sure if symlink in the code is broken or maybe if its this new hero build 2.3.3 I tried to manually create a link and that fails as well.
Any Feedback on this one would be appreciated.
Update 1.9:
Cleaned up a lot of code
added some additional menu icons
Better Alert descriptions
file support to the Browse to bar for manual entries
Update 1.9.5:

More terminal colors added per request:
Amber on Black
Green on Black
Red on Black
More code clean up
Update 1.9.9:
System/Data RW/RO replaced with S & D buttons as well as option to remount on click or from menu still
Optional Expandable tool bar added with:
Settable Home Button
Bookmarks
Quick Exit
Update 2.0:
Browser Download Helper Added per requests
Update 2.1:
Multi Select support added. no buttons needed, just click the icon next to the file. You can also select across multiple directories so be careful
Zip File Creation Added. You can Zip ALL files unlike other zip apps out there. Zipping files on other partitions than the sdcard may be slower though due to the special means needed for the files to be zippable.
Unzip/install apk option added for those that wanted to be able to view the apk contents
Download helper change. Hopefully this will fix the issue that arose with android 1.5 and email crashing with txt html and pdf files if u had astro, download crutch or any download helper

THis app also remounts data and system as RW, I know I could type the mount command from the terminal every time, but it sure is a nice feature. It is worth the couple of bucks (Less than a damn beer)
Great app dev.
Dice
Like it, but some constructive criticism. Not really a fan of the GUI, but other than that, A+
What is it about the GUI that you do not like?
Icons seem pretty small and colors are a little boring, but you already stated in your OP you were going to change that so no biggie Once again, very nice app, looking forward to what this will achieve later on.
nice app. Great idea.
I know you said enter on sKB doesnt work.. true, but the trackball doesnt work for me either... had to open the hardware KB and enter from there.
Also, couldn't slide the slider to go back to file browser from the search bar. it has something to do with the hint bubble. If i hit back a couple of times to remove the bubble i can then move the slider again...
If you change the preferences by default the trackball will change.. u have to click command key under preferences and change it to something other than the track ball like the @ symbol or something.
As far as the search box goes that is a separate part of the app the slider will be disabled on it until you exit from search aka back button or search something. That is the way it is supposed to work.
I will change the default from preferences to something other than the track ball int he next release just an FYI for future once the new version is up you will have to initially re-assign the control Key to what you want it to be the first time due to the change

ok. done the trackball thingy- fixed- works fine now.
not so sure about the bigger icons- i prefer to use the trackball to scroll thru something as sensitive as root directories....
1 small gripe is that is i navigate thru a few directories i can forget where i am- there is no way of knowing what folder you are in? i expected it to come up up the top where the heading is:
eg. /data/data/com.wktmngr/
thanks for a great app.

Yeah there will be some notification to where u are in the next version. I had it in the title bar and was trying a new Idea for it that did not work to well so it will be back in the title bar next update. Its my work weekend 12 hour shifts 4 hour drives gives no real time to put an update out Monday Night -Tuesday at the latest
Also the next update will have the search method changed from its own activity and incorperate it in the search results page.. part of the reason it was the way i left it for the released version is issues with the soft keyboard never comming back after u close it. I think i have the issue solved though.
Would it be difficult to add a script execution and save function into it? So we could have a script saved and click and run it from inside the app?

well it will support running .sh files so you should be able to use the text editor and save your file as myfile.sh then launch through the file browser...
There will be an update coming out in the next 2 days that will allow you to create a new file without having to edit an exsiting file.
if you want just a data base for Script files though i would suggest looking into the app that has been develeoped called Gscript it is made specifically for that.
SO since updating to the New hero i cannot find my own app on the market... I am hoping it is just that they coded it so u cannot see your own apps since you cannot download them.. If anyone can search su or pub:"protocol-x" that has upgraded it would be great

I am not using hero though? I am running Cyanogen 3.5.
On another topic, would it be possible to implement a copy and paste function in the terminal? How about implementing some recognition of history in the terminal (i.e. in Ubuntu terminal, when I press the up arrow, the previous entry appears).
I love the app, thanks a lot.
1. after mounting r/w for both system/data and trying to copy/paste it *always* hangs and *never* completes the action
2. i would love the ability to open *any* file in a text editor, this is extremely important, or letting the user choose the associated editor/method to open the particular file type with.
3. load/run .sh scripts
4. after symlinking a file, could you present a 'ghost' file in that directory to represent it, and after clicking it, it would bring you to the actual file
i will be writing more within this post after i keep playing around with the app

I agree. I was expecting to be able to long-press any file and be presented with options to open as text or perhaps a send to option.
Open as
Well technically it does open any File as text. I can add the option in the context but was trying to cut down the context menu form being huge.
it is currently only set up to open readable files, i know i need to add the option for scripts and other file associations without an extension.
like for instance if u open an html page it will open in a web view but then you have the option to hit menu view source or edit. Same with any file that opens in the text editor.
copy/paste hang should be fixed i was working on adding better threading to fix that. if you continue to see issues let me know please.
I will look into the ghost file for symlinking, that is my fault i set it up more on a directory based not file based.
Will look into history for the terminal, Copy/paste may be a while as the terminal has has focusing issues with the touch screen.
There is a new update on the market as of now just a heads up nothing major alot of clean up and threading fixes and some amusement
Email Support added
6/29/11 Update: Add keycodes for EF02's "" and "Sym". Thanks EvilDennisR for providing the new keycodes, eyecannon for confirmation.
5/5/11 Update: Fix handling of ENTER key in fix_dead patch, i.e., make non-printable and emit carriage return. Thanks xbj9000 & Fnorder for pointing out this bug.
1/13/11 Update: Add key_logic patch from git to make ConnectBot use the correct hardware keymap, eliminating the need for the previous '_' & '-' swap workaround. Add fix_dead patch to fully implement combining accent (dead key) support. See note about combining accents on the Epic below.
12/20/10 Update: Add keep local connection patch. Add Tab, Home, End, Page Up/Down keys. Add partial support for Swype's edit keyboard.
12/1/10 Update: Fix use of arrow keys for moving the selection cursor when copying text.
Attached is a build of ConnectBot v1.7.1 modified to better support the Epic's keyboard. Also attached are the source patches against the v1.7.1 sources.
Changes are:
Make "" an alternate dpad-center (one press emits Ctrl, two presses emit Esc).
Make "Sym" emit Tab.
Make ".com" (Fn+"Sym") emit '`' (backtick, the only missing printable ASCII character).
Make arrow keys able to move the copy selection cursor.
Make "" and Enter (to support Swype's edit keyboard) select the copy region.
Make Fn+Left emit Home, Fn+Right emit End, Fn+Up emit Page Up, and Fn+Down emit Page Down.
Enable Tab key in Swype & other virutal keyboards.
Enable Home, End, & Cursor Jump in Swype's edit keyboard. Cursor Jump makes the arrows emit Home, End, Page Up/Down.
Workaround to make Fn+W emit '-' (hyphen/minus) and Fn+E emit '_' (underscore).
Make ConnectBot use the correct hardware keymap for the Epic, fixes the swapping of '-' & '_' and other subtle keymap bugs.
Although the hardware-keyboard changes are specific to supporting the Epic, this build should run fine on other devices--I don't think the keymaps conflict.
About the workaround: in regular ConnectBot v1.7.1, Fn+W emits '_' (underscore) while Fn+E emits '-' (hyphen/minus), which is backwards compared to other applications. I'm not sure why this is, as the key character map appears to be correct from what I can tell. This bug is due to ConnectBot's previous method of decoding key characters where it assumes the hardware keymap is the first one specified in the Android properties database (hw.keyboards.0.devname), which it is not on the Epic. A fixed method of decoding key characters was comitted to ConnectBot's github repo last month in a patch that also partially (brokenly) implements support for combining accents. I've added this patch and another to this release to fix both the swap bug and fully implement support for combining accents.
Note on combining accents: The standard Epic keymap does not include support for combining accents (dead keys). I've posted a modified keymap to add these. See the thread for details.
I've also added a patch to reenable the use of arrow keys (on both hardware and virtual keyboards) to move the selection cursor when copying text. You may use either "" (hardware keyboard) or Enter (both hardware & Swype's edit) to select where the start and end the copy region.
Unfortunately Swype's Select All, Select Text, Cut, Copy, and Paste keys do nothing in ConnectBot as they do not emit keycodes, but copy & paste support is availble via the menu, arrow, and Enter keys. Also, Swype's Page Up/Down keys simply generate 5xUp/Down arrows. Cursor Jump+Up/Down may be used a real Page Up/Down instead.
Enjoy!

Crud, I figured I made a mistake somehwere.
I don't believe I can move the thread myself, would the powers-that-be mind placing this in the appropraite location? Thanks!
Thanks
Wrong forum or not, this is perfect, I was going to change my system keylayout to accomplish this before, but this is a much better solution.
Amazing, thanks for this! ConnectBot was near-perfect for my needs, you just pushed it over the finish line
Haven't tried it yet, but I was just about ready to do keymappings identical to yours at the android layer... I like your solution a lot better, though, thank you!
Thx for this op!!!
Sorry, but im just about a month into the "rooting scene" and am not yet familiar with what this is, can someone please explain?

ConnectBot is an open-source terminal emulator and SSH client for Android. If you're a Windows user, think of it as a combination of the "Command Prompt" and PuTTY programs, but for your phone.
The Epic is an important device for ConnectBot users as it's one of the few programs that really requires (or at least benefits from) a hardware keyboard. Unfortunately, the Epic keyboard, while very good compared to the Droid (and I'd argue the G2 also) is missing a few keys important for ConnectBot, but has other extra keys that are unused. So this is a modified version of the program to better support the Epic's keyboard, making ConnectBot much more convenient to use.
In general ConnectBot is not a particularly important program for "rooting" (although root makes it vastly more useful locally). As suggested earler, this thread should really belong in the Themes & Apps forum.
That said, I imagine ConnectBot is a somewhat popular program among Epic owners as its (near) requirement of a hardware keyboard makes the Epic a much more suitable device to use with it than the Evo, and so those folks interested in using it are more likely to purchase an Epic.
This is awesome. Thanks a lot! Now ConnectBot is pretty much perfect.

shabbypenguin is incorrect. ConnectBot has nothing to do with altering keyboard mapping for the entire system. I just posted a modified version of ConnectBot that has altered keybindings internally.
As a terminal emulator, it is unusual compared to most Android applications in that much of the hardware keyboard support is implemented internally (from the keycode level up) instead of using standard input widgets.
Sorry for the confusion.
Awesome work. Is there a Ctrl shortcut on the regular build? I got stuck the other day because I couldn't Ctrl+C out of an app.

Not on the hardware keyboard. But if you tap the screen an icon "Ctrl" and "Esc" appear that you can tap.
Awesome, muchas gracias. Can we donate?
I'm curious... does this version still disconnect in local mode when a call comes in? I like Connectbot, but being disconnected while editing my script locally with vi editor, was something that irritates me with the version I tried from the Market.
After researching the bug, the only fix I saw was a different source tree with a fix included.
If this fix is included, it would finally replace the Android Terminal for me.
Thanks for working on this for the Epic, by the way!

Alt key?
I cannot for the life of me figure or find out how to use the Alt key w/my Epic. What am I missing? It must be supported....

You can scroll, drag, or flick through the available buttons.
Use SPEECH-TO-TEXT to transform your spoken words into text.
TRANSLATE your text to dozens of different languages.
CUT, COPY, and PASTE with a built-in CLIPBOARD.
Text you copy is saved so you can access it later. Remove anything you don't want to keep.
FULL-SCREEN MODE provides TEXT SELECTION HANDLES and a MAGNIFIER.
Accurately select portions of text to edit or copy.
The CHARACTER MAP makes more Unicode characters accessible.
Set up your own list of favorites for easy access. Includes Emoji on Android 4.1 devices.

Want to swipe left to delete the previous word? Want your device's search button to activate the camera overlay? Do all this and more.
A DYNAMIC UI means you can customize the keyboard so it's perfect for you.
Are the keys too tall for your liking? Make them shorter. Don't like the ARROW KEYS? Hide them. Many things can be tweaked directly from the tool bar.
Change the keyboard's look with downloadable THEMES.
You can use the built-in THEME EDITOR to create your own themes, or customize existing themes with your chosen fonts and colors. You can even use themes designed for other keyboards!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I guess I was sort of hoping the LDPI phones have gone the way of the dinosaur. ;-) Was also thinking maybe Ultra is a little too heavy weight for lower-spec'd phones.
I'll definitely look into this. The medium DPI images should be scaled down on-the-fly on LDPI devices, but I think keeping Android 1.5 (Cupcake) support broke this.
I like to use forever !!!!! Link ?
Looks like a nice app

Hi, got the Trial from the market...
Where can I change the Dictionary? Or is it disabled in the trial? I found Settings-Gestures-Dictionaries but it only offers me English.
And btw: can I migrate my old HTC personal Dictionary to the german one?

I wrote a small app as a proof of concept that allows you to change between UK & US layouts when using the folio keyboard. This is designed to be used on the cyanogen port by Koshu.
I fixed up a small problem with the US layout recently (YEN symbol not recognised). If you'd like to try it out the APK is attached. The general usage is that you run the app, click the button of the language you want to use and:
1) If this is the first time you're doing it you may need to reboot the tablet
2) Otherwise just plug the folio out and back in again.
To be safe make a backup of /system/usr/keychars/Vendor_1241_Product_0003_Version_0110.kcm first and use that to restore your default keyboard layout if something is amiss. The restore button in the app needs a bit of work and all it does right now is to delete the files that it created.
Sounds very cool, but I don't have that file. Running 089 WE.
This is mainly designed for use with the Cyanogen port that Koshu is working on, sorry I forgot to mention that.
For stock ROMs I think lenovo edited the Generic.kcm, Generic.kl files to suit the keyboard layouts.
