2 Skins for the PocketCM Keyboard with multilanguage layouts

[ialu]

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 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1492686&postcount=560)) 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.

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.

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

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

http://i21.tinypic.com/2ug1kef.jpg http://i23.tinypic.com/2lwazk3.jpg 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.

[2manyphones]

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 have been using a new color skin for my iPhone and thought I would create one for PocketCM. Thanks to armadillo at the ModMyIphone forums for creating the orriginal.

As you can see by the screenshots, this skin supports landscape, but until there is a seperate layout/skin file for landscape it's not going to look right. Also there isn't much space left to type with these big keys.

This skin was designed to work with the iPhone2.6 English layout file (in the zip file). PLEASE make sure you have both the skin and the layout file selected and restart the device. ;) On the symbol page, the internet explorer icon (top left) will paste: http://www.

Enjoy and feel free to anyone who wants to modify the layout or graphics to their own preferences / languages.

hey guys can u tell me how can i integrate these cool pcm skins in my universal ? wat steps i need to follow in order to install them ?

[carl99]

I'm realy like the GrayIphone skin! Great job!!
But, I miss a button for TAB. Should be something like the shift button but with the arrow pointing from left to right. I tried to make this button my self but my artistic skills with Paint is not so good :)

I hope someone with better skills can make an button like this.

[radeonrv]

wow, this skins rock, but, would anyone mind to make a SKIN with the Spanish ''Ñ'' with it beside the ''L'' or at least in shift mode or nuber modes.

This is the Spanish (españa) Layout:
