Fair Dinkum is completely orthogonal to VK, and does not interact in any way.

Thanks, Rod. It was just a thought from a guy who doesn't know anything about this stuff & doesn't want to go through the Palm SDK Recovery. I appreciate you letting me know.

Exactly what it says, but that is outdated and you shouldn't need that script.

I see. That's probably why we haven't seen any center button mods either.

Can anybody help???
I am having the same problem. Cannot find the application install. I can find the patch but nothing works aftwards...Any help?

Okay so I know that a lot of you that are posting here have the VK so please answer my question with your own experience with it so once again here is my question. My virtual keyboards backspace button doesn't work while typing something in the browser is this the same for everyone or is it just me?

Is there a way to install the keyboard on GSM 1.1.3 Pre?

Edit: Tried all older versions. GSM Pre has the file with the follwoing name: palmInitFramework191_16.js. Do you guys need any of this files to check what can be patched and what not?

I'm sorry, but do just a little reading. The backspace in the browser has never worked.

I was able to get this via preware on my home pc but I couldn't get it at work on my mac. Either way I'm enjoying it. Thanks.

emoney, any chance you will give some hints of what's to come in the next version of the keyboard? If you have time that is, If not I understand, keep up the good work!

I need to uninstall my VK. I'm getting this error:

"ErrorGenericMethodException: Failure during 'prerm' operation
/var/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.patches.add-onscreen-keyboard/add-onscreen-keyboard.patch: No such file or directory
/var/usr/lib/ipkg/info/org.webosinternals.patches.add-onscreen-keyboard.prerm: line 17: cannot open /var/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.patches.add-onscreen-keyboard/add-onscreen-keyboard.patch: no such file

from preware when I try to uninstall. I was in the process of downloading palm SDK & was going to attempt to remove the files, but then I saw that you changed this post yesterday stating that it was outdated & that there's a script to remove all keyboard created files? I just want to make sure I do this correctly. How do I get this script? Is this the command I should be putting into Noveterm?

Thank you for all your help.

i am unable to install the vk on my 1.2.1 PRE. i get the following error:
(offline root mode: not running org.webosinternals.patches.add-onscreen-keyboard.postinst)

I have used emergency patch tool, did a partial reset and used webos repair utility to completely set my PRE back to the stock version. everything was removed and put back to the way it was. but i still cannot install the vk.

Is vk compatible with 1.2.1? if so, why cant i install it?
