If thumb keyboard isn't your thing then try Better Keyboard. I don't use it but they do have larger keys than the regular keyboards.
thumb key board is working well, i like it way much better!!!! thanks guys!
I highly recommend you check out Swiftkey. Although not optimized for big thumbs, its auto-correct and suggestion engine works extremely well for those times when you missed a key or pressed the wrong letter. Check it!

Maybe no one is really using the on-screen buttons? I tried them for about an hour before I decided it was a waste of screen real estate when I have a physical home button and capacitive Back and Menu buttons. It's possible no one here knows the answer.

So there is no way without rooting?
I also find the volume rocker to be really annoying as I always accidentally hit them. It would be nice to be able to turn these off
