Modding PLUM Keyboard

We got a new Keyboard with FW 0.9.3.3 and as far asi know it will be the standart-keyboard for FW 1.0.
As long as Meizu don't releases international keyboards we have to mod it by ourselfes.

Here i give you a summary how to modify the PLUM-Keyboard:

The file we have to change is UiResDll.dll. It is located in the windows-folder.
When you open the file with a resource-hacker (i use Radialix2) you will find 3 folders:



The first folder includes ini-files with the different keyboard-interfaces. Each key is discribed the following way:

Code:

[Key1]\r\n
X = 28\r\n
Y = 0\r\n
W = 64\r\n
H = 80\r\n
CENTER = q\r\n

Key1 is the name, x and y are the position of the key w and h are with and height.
CENTER stands for the way you have to click on the key. And that is the cool thing: You can add LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN to every key.

The 2nd folder includes some unnecessary images and the cloud images.

The 3rd folder includes the keyboard-interfaces.



New possibilities:
- more than one char on each key (example: a key for 'kr')
- more than one group of chars on each key (press: o, slide down: ö, slide up: ó,..)

Known Bugs (0.9.3.3):
- keyboard writes wrong chars (easy to correct)
- emty clouds
- word will be deleted when it is still underlined and you write a special char or change the keyboard

For my opinion we should wait with modding because of the discribed bugs...

I exchanged some...have this bug with empty clouds, as you described !

Sorrow 1 - FW 0.9.3.4 come back on ZTA4 keyboard and nobody now don't fix a bugs in the keyboard PlumSIP, I think.

Sorrow 2 - PlumSIP don't support russians charsets.

Good luck, guys.
I hope you will make a custom keyboard for european M8-owners, and we, the russian M8-owners will be happy for your success.

Old keyboard was brought back because there were many complaints about it, so they released a new firmware while they are fixing Plums. Don't worry, it will be back. We should probably ask them to make it unicode-compatible so we can write our special characters!

strange...I at least could exchange all "x" <-> "y" for a custom keyboard...this works...
but it is not changed in opera landscape mode !!
So, is there another file besides UiResDll for the Plum-keyboard responsible????

there is another ini for landscape

you dont know, yet which one, right?

not really

i changed all and it works ;-)

I asked them yesterday.
Their answer:
"We'll change to use PlumSIP inputting method, which system files can be found as enclosed."
I don't understand what it means
