I'm curious as to how many people are using the Teksoft Fingertouch keyboard donated by Teksoft to the Athena Project. I've since abandoned by hardware keyboard and use Fingertouch only.
Anyone else using this only or using something else?

hehe im also a dump the hardware for fingertouch person.
The thing I hate about the onscreen keyboard is that whenever you tap the screen to enter data,
it automatically pops up. 95% of the time I use the hardware Keyboard, and if I'm filling at a large
form with many fields, the darn KB app pops up every frick'n time and I have to close it to continue.
Is there a hack/mod, that turns off this auto pop-up setting? Its really
getting on my nerves.

get a null SIP (SIP = onscreen keyb)
http://phm.lu has one, though i didn't try it on wm6
Hi, i removed the HW-keyboard too.
The Fingertouch-Soft-KB looks great but it's a little too big.
It lets only 1/5 of the screen show if selected pad 5.
If selected pad 1 still only 1/3 of the screen shown.
This isn't much. Is it somehow possible to make the keyboard smaller?
Now i use the standard Keyboard with big keys and gestures and this is still a little too small for fingertouching, but now i see what i'm typing.
Any app which has size between Fingertouch and standard keyboard i think will be better.

Fingertouch can be skinned. I never did it as one of the guys at Fingertouch took care of this for us. If you visit their forum I'm sure they can help out or maybe there are instructions...hell they may even do it for you if you tell them you're using their product on your Athena. They donated, for free, their full version keyboard to help out. These guys are great. Their forum is also very helpful and they respond quickly based on my experience. I'm sure Fingertouch can be skinned/modified to be exactly what you want.

Thanks, i didn't know FT-KB isn't freeware.
Great to have it inside the ROM.
I use it in combination with the hardware keyboard. I tend to find the HW keyboard easier to use when 'stationary' i.e. sat at my desk. But when oot and aboot, its easier to use the fingertouch.
I did alter the registry so that it uses keyboard '1' rather than '5' as its easier to use. Just a shame there's no £ key and the \ key isn't a shift key on board 1.

Yea I use the regular mode. FYI, you can set this in the options for the product, no need for the registry hack. ;-p
I use it alot but the lack of £ sign is driving me nuts ! that is when I resort to the HW keyboard as it is quicker than switching to the WM soft keyboard

I hardly use my HW keyboard now these days. It is a lot easier with FT but I do agree with some of the comments where sometime you can't see what you are typing. However, I have learned to live with it.
Thanks everyone and keep it coming. This type of feedback is useful for future ROMs.

Much as I don't own an Athena anymore, the Fingertouch keyboard made a great difference and I never used the hardware keyboard. For an alternative I used a bluetooth keyboard. Without Fingertouch and the black ROM in general I would've got rid of my Athena much sooner.
I enjoy my hardware bluetooth keyboard a lot, as I work with translations and need to type out big bodies of text. As my fingers are accustomed to hardware keyboards I guess I am the conservative old goat who says "software keyboard?!?!?!"
I've tried going through all the Home Plugin posts on these forums, but can't find my particular problem in any of them.
I have an Advantage with Dutch WM6, official download from HTC.
I have RealVGA running smoothly.
I wanted the HTC Home Plugin, so I downloaded the latest I could find here (v2.0, Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen) and ran the .cab along with all the cert.cabs I could find.
As expected, it looks funny at 192dpi, but works very nicely at 96dpi.
BUT...
The clock works and all the messaging-shortcuts work, but all the other tabs (pref. calling, weather, launcher and soundsettings) are non-functional.
When I try to add something to the launcher, it just gives me a generic folder-icon without any option to actually select a program.
Selecting a contact for the pref. calling tab doesn't do anything at all. The weather tab is empty.
Has anyone else had these problems, and if so what should I do about it?

HTC home plugin VGA
Try HTC home plugin VGA, it work OK with 192 dpi also.
Tried it, and all I got was a blank spot where the Home Plugin should be.
Even tried substituting another .dll, no dice.
The only one that gives me anything (home tab at 96dpi) is HTC.Home.v2.1.1005.722.Directory.Fix.Only.schen.
Thanks for the idea, though.
Hmm, It does work at 96dpi on my athena no problem, if it is any use to you Im running it on PK3 Black touch rom.
I assume that you tried the app with the previous one uninstalled and that it is selected in settings >today> Items.
If you tested the file attached,perhaps is worth to do a search for the original file Just in case it got corrupted when uploading.
good luck with it anyway.

Maybe it's because it isn't embedded in the ROM? (doesn't PK3 have it in the ROM?)
I think I read on the forum that that was a problem with the Athena...
PK3 Black touch has the regular home plugin as an add on, it did not look proper in 192 and 128dpi, it wasn't that bad but then the newer app came and solved that problem, I don't know about black dual though,I'm waiting for PK4, also if you are interested there is SnapVue around, it does look fab in landscape mode, in portrait how ever it cut the right side.

Also, maybe I'm being blind, but I am wondering whether I've been stupid and I just need compact frmework to make everything work?
Man, I am a total noob, aren't I...
I want to thank you all for all your help!
This forum is such a great resource, and you're all very cool for helping me out.
Snapvue: Get the plugin working, but only the calendar-view works. All others don't even show up as tabs.
HTC Home: Tried the last versions from the Dual thread; they other don't show up at all or (2.1) only show the Home-tab correctly. All other tabs non-functional.
I'm beginning to think these just will not work with the Dutch 6.0 ROM, and I am not in a position to change ROMs right now.
Seems this isn't meant to be for me just yet...
Possible problemsolver:
rename the MUI to 0413 (dutch) as opposed to 0409 (english)?
I'll give that a shot when I get home.
I have given up on HTC Home Plug
I can't get the launcher portion to operate properly on either version. It is nice to have the numbers not be cut off on screen, but if I can't adjust the brightness on the fly, it won't work for me. Perhaps it isn't playing nice with some of my other software (of which there are many!) I'll wait for the new 4.0 ROM and see if that solves my problem.

All,
Can anyone provide me the tweak or registry key to allow for me to continue typing on the thumb board while on a phone call? (Presently while talking, the system defaults to the number pad while talking)
Any help would be appreciated. I have seen a couple threads about changing the default keyboard config, but not for this one directly.
Thanks,
Bob

Interesting, so when you are in a call and you type an SMS or email at the same time, the "Y U I H J K B M N ." keys don't type numbers in their place? I would love to have the letters instead of only numbers. The numbers are a help in 2% of the cases, but for the most part, I want to type notes about phone calls and without having the thumb board working, I am stuck with the touchscreen and it is much slower for me.
Either way, I appreaciate your help

I'm using original spanish ROM WM6 and I have the same problem.
Me too
Let's bump this thread up the date sort:
AP 3.0, still. I can't get letters with the kbd at all when in a call, so I end up using an on-screen, or translating whatever I typed after the call. It sucks. I thought the active prg would dictate what happens with the keys. ???
I must admit the convenience of the automatic switch when in the phone app is nice.
I'm not getting why some units do this and some don't, or if it might be that people aren't using thier keyboards during a call in a different app.
Reg key? Any better ideas?

On screen keyboard or hardware keyboard? On screen works fine, hardware not since WM6.
its important to me, i would love to type using thumb keyboard while talking, i can confirm that vanilla version of 6.1 does that too but its a beta rom and i like AP4, maybe the athena project people can inlight us about this matter and creat a patch for us to use
for importancy am trying to keep this up, guys its doable, someone is required to just lead us, at least someone post me a clean (hard reseted) registery from a rom that works during call normally, and i will install it on my mobile (which doesn't type letters during call) if it works then at leaset we know its defenatly registry and there for i dedicate my life for it. any clean registry anyone can supply
PS am willing to Hard reset but not willing to reflash another rom am very tried from that business

If this drives you that nuts, then maybe you wouldn't mind doing a bit of investigation and sharing that with us?
Take a look at this registry key: HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing\KeyboardMapping
There are some subkeys there, ToNum and ToSD. I'm guessing that those are responsible for the letter remapping. Would you mind taking a look and letting us know? Thanks!
Dialer/Dialer skine deppendent
It also could be that it is deppendent on dialer used in your system. Some dialers can switch keybaord to numbers and some can not. It would be nice if those who can write letters during a call could tell us which dialer is in their system.
Possible Path?
HKLM\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch
Looks like this could be the ticket, will try to mess around with it and see if it makes any difference

hi guys,
My friend and i were playing poker on our computers using our tabs.
He has an ipad2 wich use iteleport
I got a galaxy tab 10.1 and i used teamview
We both succeed to play with similar controls except for one thing:
With teamview i have to drag the mouse cursor over the action button or the area i want to press
With iteleport the "touchscreen" ability stay in, making him really more efficient
Now here is the question:
Is there any other program for android that will let me control my pc WITH the possibility of using the "touchscreen" way of moving the cursor
Thanks for ur help
anyone can help ?
am sure some peoples are using another program than teamview
did you tried to use a remote desktop client li extralogic one?

am not sure i understand what you are trying to say.
Teamviewer is installed on my tab and on my pc, thats why i can take control of the pc.
what im looking for is a way to not "drag" the cursor once connected.
with teamviewer, with the tab, i have to drag the cursor
with iteleport, with the ipad, you just tap where you want the cursor to be
i guess i ask for something that doesnt exist since nobody has replyed
5 Minutes of googling and I came up with "Logmein". It's expensive, though, but it works how you want. You are able to move the mouse relatively like on Teamviewer, but you can use "absolute" input, like a touchscreen.
I also heard logmein works well

This MOD by APP is different than the existing MOD by replacing system apks:
1. No risk of brick
2. Ease of use
3. Universal hack for phones and ROMs that has Webtop
Since this app is intended to support multiple devices, see the original post from the Razr thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404625 .
Please report the test result in this thread. Whether success or fail and your device, ROM, etc.
It'd be nice to use the "Send" option in the app if it failed.
Thanks!

Is anyone else having this problem? I actually have this issue on occasion with the current webtop over HDMI hack that replaces the stock files. But, it doesn't happen all the time, only some of the time.
Also, if anyone can answer this for me, I haven't bought a lapdock yet, but I am considering it, if I do, I think the other webtop over HDMI hack will have to be removed to make the lapdock work, is that true? Second, if that is true, then this method shouldn't have the same problem right?
Please try with the latest version(v0.5). More diagnostic messages are logged and can be sent using the "Send Info" menu item from the app.

For the first question, I have no idea since I have never tried the "webtop over HDMI hack that replaces the stock files".
For your last question, if the Webtop related things are restored to the stock, this method will still work thus it should have no interference with the Lapdock.

I cant make the track pad work at all. What stock apk files have to be installed for this to work? I am stock rooted with some bloat removed. I am thinking I might have removed one apk file to many...
Could you use the "Send Info" option in the app after you tapped the "Load' button?

All give it a go. I tried rebooting my phone, but still no luck. I sent the debug info via email. This is pretty cool. I've never bothered using webtop, but it looks pretty interesting.
EDIT: I already got an email back from the developer. He said that it all looks good, but the extdock state cant be set to 4, which is what mine loads to when I press load. I see what he says.
Yep, it seems that even everything for Razr looks good for Photon 4G, the track pad on the phone could only react to orientation but couldn't receive any touch action.
I will try to first locate this track pad from Razr, and how are the events being sent then inspect if this is working correctly for Photon 4G.
So this may not work at all.
If anyone got any real dock that made the Photon 4G to have the track pad working correctly, please kindly run logcat to log how all these happen and send to me for analysis. This may boost up the progress by differential analysis.

I don't have a dock, so i cant be of much help there. Hopefully someone can run the logcat for you. If you need me to test anything else, I will gladly do it.
Now it seems to me that logcat is not enough.
I've figured out that evbridge is the process that draw the virtual pad on the phone and responsible for translating and forwarding touch events to mouse movement and key inputs to the Webtop world.
It seems to be using /dev/webtop/input/event4 as a placeholder for the touch event. But when evbridge is not running, those event devices won't work.
So in the worst case your phone have the evbridge running, some event4 receiving touch events but just that are not being processed and forwarded to the Webtop world.
In this case I will need to look deeper inside evbridge for how it actually emit the events or how the Webtop world see and process them then find out which part is broken.

More of the "track pad" stuffs have been studied(https://sites.google.com/site/androidnothize/nebtop/webtop). What remain are testers like "my2cents".
In short, we used TeamViewer(on PC) + PuTTY(on PC) + SSHDroid(on phone) + WiFi(connect PC and phone) + time.
In the last test I haven't studied enough of the track pad so couldn't make real use of it. But now I've studied more of it and have sorted out 3 possible points of breaking the chain of events from the touch screen to the Webtop. Unfortunately "my2cents" seems to be on a vacation.
If you know what are these and could prepare these, we could arrange a time that both of us could go online at the same time to perform the investigation.
Send me a PM or email me at either this nick name or another at gmail.

In the last test I haven't studied enough of the track pad so couldn't make real use of it. But now I've studied more of it and have sorted out 3 possible points of breaking the chain of events from the touch screen to the Webtop. Unfortunately "my2cents" seems to be on a vacation.
If you know what are these and could prepare these, we could arrange a time that both of us could go online at the same time to perform the investigation.

Hi 400757,
I was on vacation for new years. I got your email, but it was at 5 AM my time and we left that morning to go see family. I am back at home now and I am happy to help again. I will be available all day tomorrow and possibly tonight. I have to get the kids in bed first...
Follow up of the freshly done live investigation on my2cents's Photon 4G.
Turn out that it is quite different than Razr....that lead to more unknowns and needs a working Photon 4G as the basis to compare with.
One must-fail point is that evbridge is expecting /dev/input/by-id/touchscreen which doesn't exist at all. This is the first problem that made the track pad unresponsive.
Secondly the aev and evfwd input devices are not exposed to the X using xinput like in Razr.
After linking this path to the touch device /dev/input/event4, the track pad buttons became responsive though those events are not forwarded to the Webtop cursor.
strace didn't show further open failure afterward.
Thus in order to ease the life, a working Photon 4G Webtop with track pad is needed for inspection.
Does that mean that if someone has a dock, you could debug that way?
I'm not sure....
If someone has the HD dock, and used it to activate the Webtop mode, and if the track pad works.......
Then later using the Nebtop to activate the Webtop mode should work too.
In contra, if a fresh boot using Nebtop doesn't work, (due to the missing device link) but if the HD dock make it work, then it means there're some extra stuff done by recognizing a real HD dock.
Otherwise, if both Nebtop and HD dock failed, perhaps it's regional issue? eg. Some region's Photon 4G has track pad bug since there will be no selling of HD dock?
The last possibility perhaps related to the "bloat" apps that you've removed/disabled? But this is odd that if the app would create the device link under /dev...
