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

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.

thanks for the suggestion... all is well now!!! my trinity and my kaiser thank you!
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):
http://pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php
Support:
http://pocketcm.com/phorum/index.php?9
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?

I for some reason am unable to press the bottom left hand corner of the screen, which unfortunately is exactly where the dialer button is and now I can not press numbers for in-call options. Any way I can change this screen w/o flashing? im on Xtrsense now and would like to stay with it. Thanks a lot I have metamorph and amon-ra.
Maybe another dialer option from the the Market like this?: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.kz-mek-dialerone-iApD.aspx
I've never used it, but it gets good reviews, and looks like the only thing you would be missing would be the * then on the bottom left. Hope this helps...
I'm thinking of buying this device when it will become available but I have one think that bothers me. The position of the power button is not well enough and makes it annoying when one needs to wake the device. Since htc was "kind" enough to void the warranty on rooting the device, is there a way to wake the device using the volume keys without rooting?
I also found an app called "no lock" on the play store. Does this work with the one? Thanks in advance.
I'm not even sure what that app does exactly. Removes the lock screen?
It also says it doesn't work on certain phones so hopefully someone who owns the HTC One will test it for you.
there is an app i used to use for my sensation but drained battery widget locker i think
Use the smart screen off LITE free from play store it's work perfectly with flip cover, it's use proximity sensor, when you close flap it's off the screen and on when open but can't lock screen, I use screen off and lock app to secure lock the phone with just one click or confiigure using any gesture if you use apex launcher which much battery friendly and lots of customization option if you don't like blink feed

I'll take my chances and not use a cover or case of any kind. Hopefully someone will try the app I mentioned.
I know OP is asking about a no-root, app solution for this, but is there anyway at all of mapping the volume keys to power on device, even if it requires root and/or flashing files?

Tried many of those apps using the proximity sensor to turn on the screen. I reall hate them because :
1- None of them would have a very high accuracy. Mostly due to the sensors on most of the phones beeing not very accurate to detect multiple wave in a short time frame. It's not their initial purpose anyway.
2- The sensor is at the far top left of the screen which does not help in any way to use turn on the screen with one hand.
3- The fact that you have to swipe 2 or 3 times in front of the sensors which are not very accurate makes it equal in time if not longer than using your 2nd hand to reach the power button.
I believe these apps are not that useful and would prefer something to wake the screen with volume keys or tactile keys at the button.
For the moment I use an app called Flip Flap which is working pretty well. You jsut have to do a quick shake like if you suddenly had to take a look at your wrist watch while holding your phone. It's a half second movement and it unlocks/locks your screen with a movement that you will not trigger by accident so it's kinda nice and quick.
But still, it's not as good as volume keys which are perfectly placed to turn on the thing.
So my phone is rooted now and I've looked into a few things.
I've read that the file handling the keymapping would be in there : /System/Usr/Keylayout and the file to be modified would be l0-keypad.kl
Unfortunately the file is simply not existing on my phone. (Maybe it's got something to do with the fact I do not use the original Android keyboard but Swiftkey instead ? Dunno.
So here is the full list of file I've got in this /System/Usr/Keylayout :
Sorry guys you'll have to enter the h before my links to see them as I don't have 10 posts and can't use external links yet
ttp://i.imgur.com/wkPts92s.png and ttp://i.imgur.com/Ab5sI3Rs.png
Unfortunately I can't find eaxctly which one is used by the phone to map the volume keys exactly.I tried to modify the Generic.kl file :
ttp://pastebin.com/0JdTHwsy
Lines 136 and 137 seems to be mapping the volume keys :
key 113 VOLUME_MUTE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN
I have tried to add "WAKE" in the same way it is written for the POWER key : key 116 POWER WAKE
Saved the file, restarted the phone but then the file was reset to its intial value so I don't think we can modify this one.
Then I checked another folder : /sys/keyboard/
This one contains a file named vol_wakeup. Was pretty happy to find that one.
It only contains a single character : "0"
The most obvious thing was to try and replace that 0 by a 1 to enable the option but same thing as last time. After saving and restarting the phone this file was restored to its inital value with the 0 in it.
At this point I simply don't have the knowledge to go further. Blocking points :
- I don't know if physical keys like volume are mapped in a generic keyboard file or in a file specific to the virtual keyboard the user has chosen (Android default keyboard or Swiftkey or any other...). This would mean editing different files after identifying them.
- I don't know why the files I've tried to modify went back to their initial states. My phone is rooted, I used ES Explorer to get to the root folder and ES Notepad to edit them and save. I had no error message on saving so I don't think it's got anything to do with access rights.

And the review I posted about it :
"Works great on the new HTC ONE. The Roll is not very precise but the pitch trigger is very accurate. It is also easier on this phone to flip its top/bottom than rolling sideways so no trouble there. Settings for me are the following and I find it great that way : Roll tolerance 15% Pitch Tolerance 48% 500ms Would be the perfect app if it was allowign us to use volume keys (instead of the power key) to turn ON the phone screen."

What you are doing is perfectly valid, but system is protected with the stock kernel and all changes to the /system partition are reverted on boot.
Yeah thanks for the update. I've learned a lot this week while looking a way to enable wake on vol.
Most of the ROMs developped for the One so far have it working, although it does not work when the phone goes to deep sleep. The HTC One source code was released by HTC yesterday so it's only a matter of time until we see many unprotected kernels popout.
The OrDroid ROM is the one with which I had the most successful experience so far : not a single problem, very close to stock ROM and wake on vol is working 9 times out of 10.
So I'd recommend everyone to check it out : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191358
Anyone ever heard of a way to remap the button on the S Pen?
I rarely use the Air menu in fact I actually disabled it in options.
I do however use the pen in my hand probably 95% of the time, I love the precision as well as having the ability to hover over something without clicking it like a mouse can.
My only thought is that it would be amazing to be able to press the button and have it register as a tap at the current location instead of having it pop up in the air menu.
I also would love to be able to modify that SVG Circle that Prince the current pin location on screen to something more visible and possibly add a trail or something. I'm guessing this would require rooting. I am a long time desktop developer but this is my first time really delving into Android and I have noticed so many hidden services and apps that I would love to kill but I can't so it looks like I may have to root anyway.
That prints* sorry I tried to edit the typos but the save wouldn't send. I'm assuming my you block extension here is blocking some script. I've pretty much disabled 90% of the functionality on this phone just to help secure it that's another thing I need to look into browser security.

Yeah I think there's a lot of potential for some really helpful and amazing functions. First time I used this and noticed it could track on screen without touch I thought that was something very special. And then when I found that it could register a button press while hovering I immediately thought of thousand applications for this.
Just one off the top of my head. Imagine having an actual useful text to clipboard function where you simply hover the cursor over text you wanted and click the button to highlight and let go of button to stop highlighting. It would make copying text on the phone just like using a mouse. I am so sick of having to long press and stay completely still for the damn thing to register. We shouldn't have to do that with this s pen.
I have tried before on rooted note 3 to remap the s pen button but the phone didn't recognize the command... always pop up s pen menu. I think surely you need root before trying or try adb push.

Conito, I would love to hear more in-depth description of your attempt to remap it.

this might be an option if you have rooted your phone.
it doesn't outright remap your button, but does let you execute commands by drawing lines or symbols while holding the button.
I haven't tested it since the note 2 though because I no longer root devices.
I have even wrote to Samsung asking for this. I want to be able to remap it for the eye dropper to when I'm drawing. It's set as the eraser from Samsung so hopefully someone will one day find a way to at least change the default tool (eraser) That might be easier than a whole other app or something.

Sorry mate you have to quote, I didn't see your post until now.
I just try to remap with applications like xposed additions and stuff like that. But the app didn't recognize when I pressed the button. So the only thing we can do is get into the app that manage the spen command and edit it with tools or things like that. I remember that some guy in the note 3 forum develop a simple app that can launch that application. So maybe that could be the solution: edit the behavior of the original spencommand app.
My best regards.
