Ease Finger Pain Keyboard in Full.
Essentially a touch keyboard you could ZX with lesser pain but for the iOS.

Intro
Basically this is an application which did the same thing as Remote osu! Keyboard(https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/t/391981).
But I don’t have an android phone, so I give it a try to make an iOS version of the touch keyboard so I don’t have to suffer more pain.
Hope u guys enjoy! ~

The real problem is that you tap slower

Wow, this actually legit worked...
could some improvements, but already worked quite well
could even change my playstyle to this


Keep up the good work!

There is some trade-off certainly
bouncing (tap faster) vs ease finger pain

There's always room for improvement, playing a lot of osu! with EFP Keyboard should give me some clues

The hardest thing to adjust is where to click because the lack of feedback,
im not blaming the app, its just a limitation for the touchscreen i guess :d
however, can you make it so that we can adjust the location of the buttons?

Yes, I ran into the same issue, I might add some settings to change the button's position or enlarge it.
It might take a while to add this function, anyway thx for your feedback

Best of luck to you for developing this

Woah! I am gonna try this out real soon, gonna be back with results.

EDIT: Doesn't work on iPhone 7 on the latest 11.2.
I guess I should be on a lower version for it to work.
Also, thank you for the hard work on the app. It surely must have taken some time.

Thank you so much! this works perfectly! (iphone8)
Delay feels somewhat close to a 125hz keyboard which isn't bad at all, I love it!

This project still alive?

mind if i have the source? i might have a friend make it alive again

is it possible to make the Z & X buttons bigger? xD
i miss them often

Can is use it on ios 7.1.2?

Can you add two more keys?

i play with my index and ring finger and on an iphone 5 so my fingers are very close to the edge of the buttons when im playing, therefore i miss a lot, it would be great if you could make the buttons larger or maybe just take up the whole screen ^-^. btw excellent work on this!

I see people want to add their suggestion to this project. Just as the creator says, "This project is dead". Hope you guys understand. But, I hope it comes back alive.

Glad to hear that

The Windows method is broken thanks to Apple. To install EFP Keyboard you'll need MacOS or at least virtual machine with MacOS for now.
The problem is on app signing because Cydia Impactor now can't sign apps because Apple changed something in their Developer Program that doesn't let "free" developer accounts sign apps. Dev of Cydia Impactor is aware of this problem but he still didn't release a fix for it.

I found a tutorial about app signing. I didn't test it but maybe it works: https://slashedm.gitbook.io/xcode-app-signing/

I found out a way to install it without having MacOS but it requires Linux for now. What you need to do is download checkra1n (if you have iOS 13) but if you have iOS 12.4 you can download unc0ver.

checkra1n tutorial:
1. Install Linux on your PC (I recommend Zorin OS or ubuntu)
2. When you're in Linux, download checkra1n from checkra.in (there should be a tutorial how to install it, I seriously don't remember how I did it.)
3. After downloading and installing checkra1n, open it and plug your phone to your PC
4. Press "Start" in checkra1n app and press "Next". It will put your phone into recovery mode and give you instructions how to run it in DFU mode.
5. After putting your phone in DFU mode, it will jailbreak automatically but remember: after every single phone restart or shutdown, you need to jailbreak it again.
6. After your iOS starts, unlock your iPhone and go to checkra1n app (it should appear in couple seconds on your homescreen) and install Cydia
7. After installing Cydia, you need to add a source so you can download Filza (search "filza ios 13" on google and follow every step)
8. Install Filza and download the EFP Keyboard.ipa file on Safari browser.
9. When the download finishes, go to Downloads tab (top right corner on Safari) and click (or hold idk) on the .ipa file
10. Click "Copy to Filza"
11. Open Filza and locate the .ipa file
12. Install .ipa file and enjoy!

unc0ver tutorial:
tbh I don't use unc0ver because I'm on iOS 13 so just search for unc0ver ios 12.4 install tutorial on youtube and just follow every step starting from 7.

add index and ring finger surpport pls
