I am looking for an application that has a larger phone pad number buttons.
I find it very difficult to dial numbes with one hand, with out using the stylus. I already started and installed .NET and the Mobile SDK, but I figured if someone wrote it before me, why not use it.
So, does anyone knows of such a util?
no need to write some software, just modify the dial pad skin files
K, thanks.
My next Q will be for a refernace or an How to/guide for mobile tweaking.
Where can I find one?
I can see your quite new to this forum, so a big Welcome to the Club!
There are tons of tweaks and hacks and what I would suggest is just to use the "search" function whenever you think of a tweak you want.
One thing I would recommend is the BigStorage ROM hack. There are so many topics about this. If you're into listening to MP3's, there's a BT patch.
I too want to know how to make the phone pad button larger
I have big finger... and its very hard to deal when everytime I press, 3 or 4 button gets pressed
Can someone give us some pointer?

Hi,
I could not find any programme or tips to modify the Dail pad. I do not want to change the skins of dial pad. I want to make the dail pad buttons (numbers) biger so that i can dail the number using my finger.
Thanks

HELP.
I love my new Qtek 9100 and basically all works well.
I even like the default skins and theme.
1 problem!
The Dialpad buttons are too damn small. Especially if I call a number where I have to keypad an extention number.
I have found some dialpad options that might be a little better, but I have not been able to install them.
I need to know an easy (i.e. newbie rated) way to either install a new dialpad with big buttons (if you have a skin, please let me know) OR if there is a way I can just enlarge the existin skin buttons.
Of course I still need smart dialing to work and it must be WM5 compatible.
HELP PLEASE
any ideas or suggestions?
you'd need a separate dialer app... not familiar with any that do native smart dialing, though - but some may implement their own by looking at your Contacts data?
An alternative, maybe, is to have your device in landscape mode. The buttons get a bit wider (but no taller)
Qizard/Qteck 9100/K-Jam - Dialer/Large Buttons
Anyone make any progress getting large buttons on the dialer (that still work with Smart Dialing) or found a 3rd party Smart Dialer program that works with WM5???
HELP and ideas??
As far as I know there is not a dialpad with large buttons that still retains smartdialing
but look at this thread here where there are downloads you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35326&sid=a428d6fe3b1f4dd93a95290a5354d5eb
and try buzzdev.net - http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,showcat/catid,36/ lots of development here for dialpad skins
I've been searching for a while for a re-mapper/utility that will remap the d-pad to move around the numbers while on the Phone screen. Currently the D-pad does nothing while you're in the Phone dialing or call screen. It would make the Wiz into a great one-handed device if I can get the D-pad to move around the on-screen numbers pad. The center button can emulate pressing of the on-screen numbers. This way I can use one hand to enter the phone number and not having to use use my hands or the stylus while on-the-go.
I know I can slide out the keyboard but are you able to slide the KB out with 1 hand and use the number keys? I tried and it's VERY awkward and you'll have to remember to press the dot twice to enable the numbers. I'd rather not do that in a time of emergency.
Any one has tried to make this happen? Is there an app out there which will do this? This plus smartkeys/smallmenu will make the Wiz the ultimate one-handed device.
Anyone? am I the only one with a Wiz wishing for this function? I guess people like touching the screen with their hands more than I thought...
I would really be interested in something that could achieve this. I have my K-JAM in a PDAir case and being able to simply dial numbers with the keypad would be great. Rather than scroll through the contact list or opening the cover to access the keypad.
On Himalaya the D-pad had function in the dialer to get to call history and speed dial. That would help too.

I want that too!! Like was in my Magician...
hi all,
A cool Japanese Freeware called FakeCursor does this. It doesn't tab between fields, but emulates a Dpad controlled 'mouse'.
There is a program called AEKmap that allows you to remap the keyboard.
I have attached several layouts I made for the Phone and Calculator for use with AEKmap. (2 of the layouts work in AEKmap free mode, the other 6 require $20 activation to avoid NAG screen.)

btw on my qtek9100 the keyboard is automatically in number mode while in the phone application. I don't need to push the blue dot twice.
I'd just as soon se a remapper that brought back the WM 2003SE phone functionality (right - Call Histtoey, left - Speed dial, etc.)
It's a shame M$ took that out in WM5
*One WM5 developer*
"I got an idea. Let's make our new phones LESS functional. That'll give us a leg up on the competition."
*Everyone else there*
"BRILLIANT!!!"
:roll:
Did anyone create an aek file for mapping the alfa keys of the hardware k/b to the phonepad values.
ie: pressing a, b or c generates the code that is recognized by smartdialer (and interpreted as a, b or c respectively)
This way we can use the h/w keyboard letter-keys in the smartdialer!
This is especially handy when youre using the Wizard in your car in the landscape brodit holder (on-screen 'keys' are simply too small to be used safely)
it would be very cool.
wonder if Water can extend SmartyKeys for that - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060

Is there anyone that would be willing to share with me what registry settings need to be changed or what needs to be done to make my own custom dial pad. I already know how to skin and that isn't what I am looking for. I want to be able to remap the button layout so that I can place the buttons where I want. I looked at "nargalzius" I-Phone dial pad and it is pretty much what I want but in looking thru the posts it looks like there are bugs and issues with the dial pad and that they wont be fixed because the post might be dead. BTW I have an HTC Touch from sprint with the upgraded 6.1 rom from HTC, no special cooked roms or anything like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, i was looking for a simple and function dpad application to install on my diamond 2.
i already looked in the blackstone thread for a solution, but it seems like only virtual d-pad is an option at the moment, which i find kinda lame because it uses gsensor. after searching all over the place for a solution, i figured out that someone had a pretty good idea adding a new skin on finger keyboard with only the last row of the keys, but it didn't work for version 2.1 so ...
i tried to create a new skin for finger keyboard 2.1, i added only the last row, and it kinda worked, the problem is that it is not functional, since i need to change the language button to get to that skin. the other problem is that finger keyboard has a global parameter to all skins for the height of its panel. (335 i think). i changed that to something smaller, it worked for the dpad skin but it [email protected] up the rest of the skins (english, greek, etc), so i have given up with that for a lot of other reasons too.
after that i tried to create a custom application using vb.net in order to create a dpad app, but that failed too because compact framework sucks when it comes to things like that.
what i suggest is this as a perfect dpad solution (at least for me). the guy who created finger keyboard (sorry for not knowing u ) can create a special skin like the picture below but in a seperate program, so we can assign it to a button, and not destroy our software keyboard at the same time.
so if i need to open finger keyboard, i will open it normally as i am doing right now, but if i want to use the dpad keyboard i will call the seperated exe file by holding my call button. this will display the following keyboard like the image below, and that will be the end of the dpad problem.
i propably got a little crazy in that text sorry for that, but i am furious that vb.net couldn't create something simple like that. (i even googled it)
