FitalyVirtual for the Tungsten T3/T5 and LifeDrive

FitalyVirtual – Applicability – T3/T5/LifeDrive

FitalyVirtual is a version of the Fitaly keyboard that works as a "skin" covering the virtual Graffiti area (also called the dynamic input area). It is modeled after the design of FitalyStamp.

This version of FitalyVirtual is specific to the Tungsten T3 and T5, and the LifeDrive.

This version of FitalyVirtual can also work on a Palm TX in conjunction with FitalySkinLoad.

FitalyVirtual Software Setup - Windows

To Install FitalyVirtual, run the installer program FitalyVirtualT3.exe.

The installation creates a FitalyVirtualT3 folder on your desktop computer, with documentation files as well as copies of the files to be installed on your handheld device.

The installer will let you select files to be installed the next time you perform a Hotsync operation. These files depend on the device:

LifeDrive Installation:

FVSetup3.prc — always installed

FitalyVirtualT3.prc — always installed

LDFitalySkin.prc — always installed

FitalyLetris.prc — optional

FitalyLetrisDB.pdb — optional

T5 Installation:

FVSetup3.prc — always installed

FitalyVirtualT3.prc — always installed

T5FitalySkin2.prc — always installed

FitalyLetris.prc — optional

FitalyLetrisDB.pdb — optional

T3 Installation:

FVSetup3.prc — always installed

FitalyVirtualT3.prc — always installed

T3FitalySkin2.prc — always installed

AppSlipRotate.prc — install if not there already

StatusBarLib.prc — install if not there already

FitalyLetris.prc — optional

FitalyLetrisDB.pdb — optional

T3 Dynamic Input Area libraries

FitalyVirtual requires the presence of two libraries — AppSlipRotate.prc and StatusBarLib.prc — for the Dynamic Input Area of the Tungsten T3 to work properly. Installing these libraries will override built-in ROM libraries and will require that you do a Reset at the end of the Hotsync. (This is normal and does not cause any data loss. It only occurs once when you install these libraries.)

These libraries are provided by PalmOne who endorses their use. You may find other third-party applications also asking you to install these same libraries but you only need to do it once. Note that reinstalling them does no harm: the Hotsync log will include a message telling you that they are already present. Finally, if you attempt to enable FitalyVirtual without having installed these libraries, enabling will fail and you will get a warning message asking you to install them.

These libraries should never be installed on a T5 or a LifeDrive.

FitalyLetris

The installation of FitalyVirtual adds FitalyLetris to the FitalyVirtualT3 folder. FitalyLetris is both a word game and a training tool for fast text-entry with Fitaly or FitalyVirtual.

FitalyLetris lets you practice the 400 most frequent English words as they are falling like the pieces of a tetris game. It helps FitalyVirtual users develop a visual memory of these most common words on the Fitaly keyboard layout.

If you choose to install FitalyLetris, the optional files FitalyLetris.prc and FitalyLetrisDB.pdb will be installed.

Install the Fitaly Skin after HotSync

After performing a HotSync operation, the final step of the installation is to install the Fitaly skin over the virtual Graffiti area:

1. Tap on FVSetup and go to the Skin Setup page.

2. Tap on Install Fitaly Skin. You may have to tap more than one time, until the Fitaly Skin appears as on the right.

3. Quit FVSetup and start FitalyVirtual from the Launcher.

4. Tap on the Enable button of FitalyVirtual.

Do not use the Install/Uninstall Skin buttons if you are doing the Fitaly Skin installation with FitalySkinLoad.

Adjust Position

The final step of the installation is to let the Fitaly software recognize the current position of FitalyVirtual, with proper adjustment to the way you hold the pen and tap on the screen:

Tap on the information key on the left panel to open the information menu
Tap on Adjust Position.
Tap on FitalyVirtual letter panel at the intersection of the t a n e keys.
(This final tap must be on FitalyVirtual itself — not on the illustration diagram displayed on the screen.)

You can now start using FitalyVirtual. For example, tap on the MemoPad button, open a new memo, and start typing on the Fitaly keyboard.

FitalyVirtual Software Setup - Mac or Linux

To Install FitalyVirtual, unzip the zip archive FitalyVirtualT3.zip. This creates a FitalyVirtualT3 folder on your desktop computer, with documentation files as well as copies of the files to be installed on your Palm handheld.

Then use the Palm Install tool or Quick Install to install the files as needed.
