I have a new XDA Orbit (not listed here), OS Windows Mobile 5.0, and would like to increase the size of the keys/letters on the Qwerty board, maybe displaying bigger keys in non-Qwerty layout, or perhaps bigger keys in landscape view (in Landscape view unfortunately the qwerty board is the same size as in portrait view.) Is there a download for to achieve this, aimed at those like me without great eyesight?

As i have searched on internet there is hack for Htc Athena for Vga mode.(640x480)
can this be done with some software hack for Htc Artemis someway (even virtually, only to have smaller icons on screen, and when opening Web browser to have virtual 640x480 resolution) ???
VGA = 640x480 pixels
QVGA = 320x240 pixels
You cannot make a QVGA device sudenly into VGA not possible - Mike
Athena is a vga device and the hack is to make old non vga aware programs run fullscreen
making every pixel fill out 4 pixels
artemis is a qvga device only hack it could do with vga would be to omit every other pixel
resulting it well still beig a qvga device
lcd's pixels are a spc size unlike old crt where the size of the phosper being bomb'd by the electron beam and be adjusted
lcd's cant ever make it's 320x240 display more info then 320 rows and 240 columns of colours
There is a program called ozVGA that was used for that purpose I think. I used it on my old HP Ipaq rx3715 and it worked partially. It made the fonts smaller, harder to read and a little blurry. I think in IE I could see more and that was the reason I was using it. But since there are Browsers with zoom functions I had no use for this program any more.
Be sure to make a backup before you use this tool. It messes heavily with the registry. If you aren't an expert you won't get around a hard reset if you fail.

I asked this exactly for watching bigger piece of web pages... So what browser do u thing should I use to have Zooming function.
Thanks in Advance

I use a third-party Asian IME (input method editor) to display Asian characters.
This IME used to work really well with other phones, but with TP2, some of the symbols don't come out well.
For example, Fn+H comes out as "\", not ";" , and Fn+J comes out as "/" not ":". The latter problem is very annoying, because it basically prevents entering web address with the sliding keyboard.
When I raised this issue with the developer, they said the IME has worked with almost every PDA-phone, including Touch Pro, but the non-Microsoft standard keyboard layout of Touch Pro2 is keeping it from working properly and there is nothing they can do about it.
Is it true that the keyboard layout of TP2 does not conform to some kind of Microsoft standard?
If so, is there any way to fix it?
I have an old dictionary program, meant for older QVGA screens and it's tiny on the WVGA of the Tilt-2. Is there any generic way to make a SIP screen larger, or is that the whole design of the keyboard?
Thanks
Hi, I'm developing a material design calculator but I have a problem: How could I do to adapt buttons to alla screen size? For example on mi Xperia S buttons are too small! If you want screenshot or the xml code tell me it. I'm sorry for my bad english I'm only 14 XD
Hi,
You need to use the size in DP instead of PX and use max/min size attribute on your XML file
Start using dp (density independent pixels), they are designed to scale a graphic to "real-life size" for example 48dp is a little bigger than the size of our fingers and is the recommended size for buttons in order to be easily touchable.
If you need more info about density independent pixels read from Android Developer's page "Supporting Different Densities" (I'm new here and I can't post URLs, just google it).
At first you need to read "Support multiple screens" article on android developer website.
For my opinion the best way is to use wrap_content match_parent instead of pixels.
Hi,
Since you mentioned you're making a calculator app, while using "dp" for button dimensions, I also suggest you look into using "weights".
These can evenly space out your buttons in a layout.
To use weights in Android, your content must be wrapped in a LinearLayout.
Hello,
I am using a Samung 700t for now a month, and I have a problem when using the extended virtual keyboard (the one with cursors keys): the fonts on the keys are too small, it's a bit hard to read what's written on the keys.
If I use the standard virtual keyboard, the fonts are fine as they are displayed in bold type. But on the extended keyboard, it is not bold.
Does anyone know how to change the font type or size on the virtual keyboard of Windows 8.1 ?
I guess it may be possible by modifying the registry but how to ...
Thanks
