Specail Thanks:
- Happy Tapping Keyboard http://d.hatena.ne.jp/KOTETU/00000103
- original skins from http://desftr.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-193.html (it's corrected & modified for non-Jp OS)
- Default_IM_WM5 is a modified version of Default_SIP_WM5 (but can't remember where it's from)

Does this support autocompletion (or autocorrection as the iPhone keyboard software)? If so, in which languages?

The software itself does not support autocompletion, but this functionality is already provided by windows (you get a list with words matching the letters you've typed so far).

I'm also using Happy Tapping Keyboard & have a selection of skins including the iphone. Good application, easy to type with a finger due to it being larger than standard.
Now uploaded to site:

This is fantastic, thanks for your post. So much bigger and easier to use than the default.

Nice !!
Thank you
Where does it come from ? WM6 ?

Finally. A workaround to not being able to skin the WM5 keyboard. Still wish I could skin the default keyboard, tho - but there's never a decert ROM for a device that comes with WM5 by default...

Can someone upload it to 4shared.com, please. Rapidshare is suck.
Thank you!

Just installed it and tested it. Great piece of software. Good bye Resco Keyboard. This make it easier if you want to using your thumb plus it looks great, just like the i-phone. I hope they don't go shut this down too.

Can not get it to load, see it in drop down list, but refuses to activate? Do i need the IM_WM5.CAB? can change between all other choices and Resco Keyboard. Would like to try for one handed smsing. Any help appreciated.

Try a soft reset, a friend had the same problem, he tracked it down to a conflict with another keyboard.
If you can't get it working you could try this ;-)

Another option is phonepad v1.0, Its the best thing i've used for one handed texting ect. Do a search for it, I remember some long posts over this one.

Hi there!
How to make it my default keyboard. I tried input options bus since it is in other language i can only see little squares. It works if i choose it from the sip menu down the screen, but after soft reset i loose it as default.
Tks!

Don't even try! I did it using sk tools and it ended with a hard reset...

accents?
Anyone knows how to use accents on that keyboard? (or french keyboard)

Hi,
Can I use it under WM2003SE??? I really2 like it! Thanks

I have it on my Magician & it runs fine. Some people seem to have conflict issues with other keyboard software.
only one way to find out, if you don't like it uninstall it.

Touch Cruise touch-keyboard layout

Hi everybody,
I got my Touch Cruise and I think it's a great device. The "new" touch-keyboard is neat, but I would like to use a different layout like on this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think this layout is by default in the system, because it started it when I was asked to type my WLAN password. After I did it, this layout "disappeared" and I can't get it to show up again.
So where is the magical switch to use this layout?
Thanks in advance.

I wanted to use the SIP you mention above as well, but was unable to find a way to select it. I'm not sure why it's not an option in the HTC rom, but it is disappointing.
This is not a solution to your question, but maybe something useful anyway:
Have you looked into PocketCM Keyboard? it is a great option and I love it when used with the iPhone skin developed by 2manyphones.
If you decide to try this, you will need to install sipchange by sleuth225 which will allow you to keep PocketCM as your default SIP even after a soft reset.
Hope this helps - and if you figure out how to get the orginal HTC qwerty, let us know!

I have fallen for CooTek's TouchPal Pro. You can use it in predictive text mode or precise entry. It also has a boat load of useful features like input strings (ie. www.<site>.com), a resizeable input panel, and many others.
I have used Resco Keyboard Pro (V3) and PocketCM (with iPhone skin). TouchPal pro is by far the best and most polished solution (IMHO).

This layout appears when you enter passwords or URL's etc, but yes, don't think you can select it as a main SIP even with a sip changer.
I don't like it as a normal keyboard anywys, you have to press the stupid symbol button to get a period.

Hi,
I´m using the PocketCM Keyboard from here , which is close to perfect.
You really might want to take a look at that, especially with the available Touch-skin.
edit: btw the ContactManager itself is very good too.
oh, and hello to everyone..

Thanks for all the replies, I'll look around.
Cheers.

Touch Cruise Keyboard
Hi there, i tested the Touch Cruise aka Xda Orbit 2 today.
I love this keyboard from the Cruise and wanna get it for my HTC Touch.
Is there a .cab, i can get, please?
Thx a lot!

i absolutely hate the touch cruise's SIP with teh XT9 crap
that thing is the devil reincarnated i swear
i have never actually seen the one in the screen shot at the beginning of this post tho..weird
i'm gonna try touch pal, thanks for the suggestion...btw hi everyone im new here too i just bought a touch cruise last week..upgraded from an htc apache

It must be possible to use this layout as a standard. But I don't know how. But I think it should be possible by editing the registry.
Has anyone a clue how to do this?

This look very good: http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Fr/SIP/SlideIT_fr.php

I'm using PocketCM, which is ok. Think I will try some of the other ones to see if they're any better. Some ppl swear by them on here. It's just annoying when you have Opera 9.5 and the stock HTC keyboards don't work. So you try and select the pocketCM keyboard but just pulling up the input changer menu takes like 5 secs (see the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375260 post by another user). then when the menu finally shows up and I select pocketCM and it brings up the crappy default windows qwerty keyboard. i have no idea why it does that. sometimes i'll get lucky and it will actually show the pocketCM keyboard. and if I do get the pocketCM keyboard, then that one leaves a space between every character. it's all very annoying and confusing as you can see. either way I've never seen the keyboard in the first screenshot.

iContact-like Shortuct Launcher ?

Anybody know of an app like iContact/PocketCM but to launch program shortcuts instead of contact dialer ?
I would like to have a thumb scrollable list of all the programs etc that I use.
If not, are there any brave souls willing to take the iContact source code and some how make it run exe shortcuts rather than contact dialling ?

I found l3v5y's Scroll Launcher, its great and very similar to my request.. but its still a little lacking.. any other suggestions ?

go into the registry and edit it:
HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\rai
and go to :mscontacts and edit the string in "1" to equal the path for the program you wanted to launch

Not sure if you read my post, thanks for the random tip though
What I am looking for is an actual program that looks/feels like iContact, but launches shortcuts instead of dialling.

im interested too in such applikation, pm me pls, if you find some

I recommend mortbuttons. It's not exactly like icontact but it's very finger friendly. Besides, the blackaqua theme matches the glossy black bar very well.

why not use th Q n A section of the fourm???? funny thing is that i did a search n found many
PLEASE UES THE QnA UNLESS U HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER
most people come here to see whats new or get updates for programs being developed ...it is very anoying to see new post with nothing to offer

that's what people do in here. is can't be clearer than this, that the first thread in this forum is for questions and answers... since it says : QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS HERE! or something like that...
but people ignore this, ask questions here, and since others reply instead of directing them to the correct thread, they STILL ask questions in new pointless threads. human nature.

I posted there, with no response. I dunno, it seems to me in order to get any eyeballs on a question you have to start a new thread (sorry, I know this is against 'the rules') Besides, this is technically a dev/hacking question, and I'm contributing by generating interest in such an app. Since I've posted, l3v5y has come out of the woodwork to say he's beginning a rewrite of his launcher - plus I've contacted Tene and SupBro to ask about the possibility of forking their projects into a launcher rather than dialler.
@ dan0zone & nir36 : Thanks for the helpful advice.

Way to much of this going on... Hopefully this thread is just moved before it too becomes a mess.
I agree that such a launcher has potential. It would be kind of cool if it had support for groups/folders as well.
Personally, I'd like to see something that uses shortcuts and sub folders inside of a base folder as opposed to a built in browse for the app style of assigning things. It makes setting up extremely easy if you're using your desktop. I uderstand that they both have their ins and outs though.
It would be kind of cool if it could be developed in such a way as to employ the skins from whatever version of iContact you're running or it's own...
Also, how about a contextual menu option to jump to the apps root folder in either file explorer or TC? It would make editing the preference files in those apps which still require manual editing of .ini or .xml files MUCH easier.

Schap's already has something in the works, and PointUI also has this function as well. PointUI is the entire UI, not just the app launcher, and I haven't used it lately, but the scrolling was inverted last I used.

this is what u want , but its not freeware

Nice link. I tried that one but it seems to be too battery draining for all day use, also not very customisable. I'm crossing my fingers that someone can just change iContact to make it launch apps instead. I'm learning C++ and gonna buy Visual Studio just for this project if no one else can ..

Well it doesn't scroll the way Schaps new menu will.
Put it does have page flicks from left toe right and RtL and UtD etc.
MortBottuns yes.
If people would have given this some more support and skins a few years ago it would maybe even have had scrolling support.
Best of all is it's highly configurable and aoollws for you to make submenu's.
Who knows what a few donations to Mort would do.
Cheerz,
The MortButtons Evangalist

Well, after a few days of hunting.. I've come to the conclusion that patiently sitting back and waiting for Schaps's incredible-looking TouchXperience launcher is the best option.
I've donated a bit, and encourage everyone else interested to do the same

Sense Keyboard (or other T9) on TG01

The TG01 is definitely a bittersweet pill. For its omissions, it has added features... for its extra functionality, stuff seems to be left out. Does one balance the other? In my opinion, unfortunately not... as the most useful things seem to be the things missing. In particular, a good T9 / Predictive Keyboard Input!
So - whilst I'm mostly happy with the standard WM 6.5 UI (with SPB of course) - when it comes to texts and emails, this handset is, as it stands, as good as useless, whereas on my old TouchHD, the 'Phone Keypad' allowed me to text and email with ease.
So what about the HTC Sense 'Phone Keypad' or other integrated T9 input system? Has anybody tried any 3rd Party Input devices? As the first paragraph said, something 'cool' in place of something 'usable' - I can't text or email with the device, but I *can* plug in a full size USB keyboard. Great!!
All opinions and options greatly appreciated. Let's make this TG01 something really good to use!!

Well I did not try a 3rd Party Keyboard but I like the TouchPal Keyboard very much. You can choose in the settings the T9 input and it works very well for me.

TouchPal... right - I'll have to find that one and give it a workout.
Any others to mention? URLs / Screenshots would be useful too... this could be the definitive 'TG01 Keyboard Replacement' thread! Ha.

Having tried TouchPal, I, too am an advocate to it now, and am already considering PURCHASING it!! So it must be good, because I never part with cash for software!

Yes, in my opionen it's far the best virtual keyboard for Windows Mobile
So, go and purchase it. It's worth the money.

not work on X02T (Japan version)

because it's says that is for (Q)VGA.

I actually have a Touch Diamond2 (TD2), sadly not an HD2, so it comes preinstalled. It has a VGA version that should work or WVGA. And here is a newer version that says it supports wvga :

First of all: Seems to be a great app!
...fast, smoth an convenient to use!!!
But from my point of view it's a little bit confusing to have in the DIALER-Column all contacts listed, even if i have typed nothing...
Ragards!

its nice but when using the t9 dialer, it requires me to type almost full words/stop typing a name before it display my desired one.

hmmm looks very interesting i am gona try it !!!

It's great ))

I really like the interface. I am using MIUI Gingerbread now on my EVO and have decided to make TouchPal my dialer of choice. Also, on a side note, downloaded your keyboard which is amazing as well!
Thanks for all the work!

Awesome, Great work.

Really nice dailer. Much better than the one that comes with Arc.

Seems better than GO Contacts for me too

Nice!
Very nice dialer. It's replaced DialerOne for now. As for feedback; could you make it so that you can swipe left/right to switch tabs on top? And maybe give each contact a "call" and a "message" button in the contact list?

Not a complaint, but more of a question. Why is it that none of the dialers can implement facebook synced contact pictures? Dialer one used to do it but now they dont do it either.
Again not a complaint because Im using this over dialer one right now. just curious

Blame FaceBook... I read somewhere that a couple of months ago that they changed something in the API..... at least that's what I remember reading. For the life of me I can remember where or when I read it.... sorry
@ Cootek... very nice looking dialer!!! Just downloaded it. Will use it a bit and post up my thoughts, concerns and hopes for the future.... ;-p
Just for starters... screen swiping would be nice, landscape and maybe a little more control over how it looks.
But other than that very nice. Looking foward to using it.

Yea I figured it was a facebook thing. But Handcent is able to draw from it thats why I feel like it should be possible to implement them.

Looks very nice and efficient on searches.
Can you add a setting to order contacts by last name?

Just an fyi, doesnt scale correctly for a qHD screen.

Sorry mate but i can't find it on the Market? Or if i search for it on the Market website on my PC? Looks great!

I can only find some chinese app on the market?
EDIT: It was the chinese app. Looks very good and is translated to english when I install it.
Behaps you should make the name change from chinese to english? Very good job though

Good looking dialer, but right off the bat I have noticed a couple things.
1. You have some typos in the menus, the first one I noticed is in the vibration settings for hanging up the phone.
2. I long press a contact and hit delete through the dialer and the contact still remains.
I think I still prefer Youlu.
