Possible to change the size of phone buttons ? - P3600 General

Hi,
The P3600 is a terrific device, even more since GPS is active. But, there is one minor annoyance with it : the phone app. Its keys are really too tiny to be used with a thumb.
I am wondering if there is a way to change the look of this phone app and make the keypad buttons larger. I've looked around Google and other sites for an answer to my question, but couldn't find anything. Maybe somebody here can help ?
Thanks a million in advance.

You can install a dialpad, at the upgrade and modifying section, search for smartdial + eten. It has some big and nice dialpads or just download it from here.

Just install and restart.

Thanks a lot ! I found the topic you are reffering to, but there's no hint on where to get my hands on that famous dialpad. Maybe a little extra help, please ?
EDIT : Found it, OK -- forgot to mention

Another great way of making the pocket pc more usable with one hand! Thanks a lot for this advice, using it now and it works perfectly!!
I only wish there would be some similar type of large keypad for writing text messages as well, anyone has any clue? The one I´m using now (Phonepad) is not nearly as good and doesn´t have equally large keys, which would help.
Thanks!

For the large keyboard, there's SPB Full Screen Keyboard
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Only twist is that is always displays in landscape... But very usable though.

you can also use SPB Full Screen Keyboard in Portriat mode... the only downside is that the keys are narrower to fit the screen. i use it in Portriat mode...

New great dialer

Here is some new dialer. I like it a lot. Especially in car.
http://www.mesoftware.co.nr
It's more comfortable than original one.
T9-like search of contacts from dialer itself. Dial any number from contacts with 4-5 finger taps max.
Quickly accessed picture dialing.
Changable skins.
Only things that lack are - quick access to call history and to new note.
But the developers promise to add soon.
Looks really nice. Good alternative to Finger Clix which I have already purchased.
Unfortunately, it can not map to the default green phone key - probably not possible at all unless you replace a system dll.
Regards
Michael
give this a try... MobiDial

Excellent program JaToAc but it is a bit slow to load once you press the green phone key. I am missing something or is not possible that when you enter a number directly to be able click somewhere to store the number as a new contact. So far I have not been able to do this with any of the dialers I have tried. Any info would be appreciated.
you cant do it with both dialers (adding a number from the dialer)
but phoneplus is the best dialer there is today.
mobidial is too slow and not using quick search for contacts, which is really dumb cause it does the same thung the default does (so why buy).
i bought the phoneplus and really enjoying every second, plus the writers of the program are intending on improving it a lot.
Silly question but what is T9 dialling?? I have seen it mentioned lots of times here but I have no clue what it is.
Thanks

[DONE]HTC Slide Answer + In Call Curtain

Hey guys, what's going on. Happy Holidays to all of you!
I'm not sure if i'm using the right terminology, but I was wondering if there was a cab (or 2) because I would like to use those!
As seen in here
I would like to use:
1) the thing on top of the buttons:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) The slider:
Anyone has a cab close?
Thanks!

Ah hah for the slider, i had searched, but i wasn't sure if the in-call curtain was in there!
Thanks!
well guys he's right, cos the cabs posted on that thread include only the "slide 2 answer" function, not the brushed small curtain which appears during the call.
Unfortunately, won't work on CDMA devices yet.

Not true. There is now a fully working slolution but it has become lost mid-thread!
Look for the cab by fiendz and the minor fix by drachen.
"the thing on top of the buttons:" see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464513
try posts 243, 244 (page 25) - has the "curtain" and solves most other problems
is there any way you can make work on cdma

EXCELLENT! thanks mate, things indeed do get lost mid thread especially when threads get big
Thanks to ALL for their input, hope this thread can become a reference for anyone in need of it
Hi people,
I'm sorry if this has been asked (and answered) before (or if it's too obvious), but I've been searching for this on Google and found nothing. Everybody seem to be searching ways to enable this "curtain", but I'm trying to disable it instead...
I'm using my own ROM that I've cooked with Lobsterdave's kitchen. It includes PhoneCanvas_Tachi_4_10_34656_1 package and I'm only missing video calling feature to be there...
But, one thing that annoys me is that it DOES HAVE the damn curtain over the keys in a call. That makes me 1) turn on screen 2) try to slide it down (yeah try) and 3) push the button I intend to...
So, is there a way, like a reg-tweak or something that would disable the curtain?
Thanks

Rotation issue

Hello everyone, my name is Nick and this is my first post in this great forum. I have been using the TD2 for some months now and i think it's a really great phone!
The only problem i've come across so far is that the G-Sensor rotates the screen in some applications i'd rather see horizontal like the phone dialer and the Sim Toolkit service. It's really annoying to see the screen rotating when i am talking on the phone because it messes up the screen too!
I've tried many programs like Gyrator 2 or G config but none of them seem to do what i want. I don't want to disable the G sensor of the phone cause it's really useful when browsing or writing messages.
Any ideas of how to solve this? Thanks in advance!
I use Gyrator and disabled everything i don't wan't to be turned, works perfect!
It looks like you didn't set-up Gyrator properly, read the manual carefuly.

When you look in Gyrator Events you will see this list:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Make sure that everyting that you don't wan't to rotate is listed above Rotate.
You can add new events (click and hold on a blanck section) and put them higher in the list by click and hold them and chose Promote.
If you don't know wat you should enter in a event for a non-rotating event just look, by editing (click and hold and chose edit) in a excisting Disable(***) event, i did to.
Good luck!
I tried that too but i just keeps rotating when i turn the device.
I created a new event and checked "Orientation", i named it "Disable (Dialer)" and promoted it above "Rotate". Then i edited it like that: Application=Phone, Orientation=Portrait (or landscape, i tried everything on the list), Actions=Rotate Screen (or nothing checked, i tried both) but it still doesn't work. I even tried disabling the HTC dialer and using the WM one but nothing changed. I'm starting to believe it's haunted!

Pocket quake problem

Hi, sorry for the new thread
i installed the free pocket quake for my uni, but i don't see anything in the game screen, white, but i hear sounds, in gameplay
any idea to fix it?
a picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks for the help, and have a nice day
From what I remember of trying to get quake1 running on the universal its a waste of time.
The real issue is not the white screen as I did manage to run it eventually, its the fact that the universal is vga resolution. Pocket quake has only developed stylus movement for a qvga screen, so with a vga resolution its all out of wack as you have can only move around with the stylus at the top left-hand corner and not where you are actually pointing.
And if you think you don't mind just using the keyboard, think again...
Also the framerate is pretty crappy, maybe on average, less than 15fps.
Unless you are a programmer that can fix the problems. You should try something else. There are some other great games out there. Transport Tycoon and warfare incorporated were my favorites.
I will be releasing an updated version of Pocket Quake soon. I've already remedied the keyboard and display issues. I will post an announcement on these forums when it is available.
Thanks for the help
ok, apologies for barging into the thread with a request but can you add the option to enable/disable the auto-view-centering when you move? i find it really annoying. If there is and I didnt RTFA then apologies.
also could it be possible to remove any hardcoding on the ESC key? particularly to back out of a menu option, i bound the action to DEL but it ignores that in the menus
BTW for other people's info, i play in landscape on the Uni using the keys as a kind of joypad and have added this to my autoexec.cfg
vid_fullscreen_mode "2"
_vid_default_mode "2"
vid_mode "2"
one of these forces it to default to landscape, not sure which but it does the trick!
Are you talking about PQ1, PQ2 or PWolf3D? By auto view centering, are you talking about looking up or down, and then the view returning to the center when you move?
The latest versions allow you to bind any key to TOGGLEMENU, so you can use any key you want to bring up or close menus.
pocketquake 1 i think, will double check and yes, when you're looking up (at someone on a ledge high up for example) and you move (to track the enemy or avoid fire) it brings your view back to horizontal in a misguided attempt to be helpful.
Yeah, that's the default behavior of Quake. Fire up WinQuake or GLQuake and you'll see they do the same thing. I can add a custom variable to disable that though.
Dan
that would be fantastic, thank you very much in advance!
Has anyone tried these versions of quake?

This is on the opening screen of my HD2 when it's been locked. The keyboard is so easy to use and is very native of a conventional phone keypad. It makes for easy use and the screen is still free to both read and write your text.
trust me, im searching something like this since 2 years T.T am i too stupid or is there really nothing like that?
when im walking around with my phone.. i cant type in qwerty mode :/ when i switch to "phonepad" it suxx cause the buttons are again too small when im walking
on the pin input screen there are even two unused buttons, wich we could use as smileys or other things...
As this screen is already in my phone, I would have thought that it was possible to mix into a cab for keyboard use. I am not a programmer otherwise I would try..
What's wrong with the regular Phone Keypad that comes pre-installed?

What I would like is the keypad as in the first image for my texting and messaging... not just for dialling numbers..
When I am texting, I do not need all of the other clutter that robs my screen of space so larger keypads would be nice.. I currently use this -
But I need to turn it on its side to text and I only get one line of screen to read what I am writing.. but like I said, the keypad in the opening screen would be just right for me..
If you download the hero IME keyboard, which you can find by using the search function on mobilerumor.blogspot.com, it has a phone keypad feature.
