Possible to change the size of phone buttons ?

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

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...

Solid state electronic resistors on circuit boards have colour coded bands to tell you the resistance - this program decodes them.
A good little program. Thanks!

Very nice could have done with it ten years ago nice job anyway.

Next vertion you can put 6 stripes, the maximum that exists (that i know )

haha nice, i'll use it

But this is just 8 graphic files - how can it change the functionality?
Nice proof of concept Albert

is there a way to change the keyboard to be Iphony ?
in other words, can we change the pressed button gfx to be a popup button thingy so it shows the letter pressed ?

Nice.. i like opal full keyboard "cleaner"

Is this cab all you need for this or do I need a separate file to install?

just the cab

great work my friend, thank you for your share

This would match my new system font perfectly! Thanks, maybe I'll re-mod this keyboard...

can we expect a "cleaner" skin for the other two opal keyboards??? The full qwerty and the phone pad???

It's skinnable, but is it possible to make the landscape qwerty bigger? I really don't see how it's cleaner TBH. I like the original more. It looks more "cleartype-ish"

[REQ] WVGAFIX3-like Program with virtual D-Pad

Hi there,
is there any chance to modify WVGAFIX3, to get a VGA screen resolution on the WVGA-devices PLUS a virtual d-pad?? That would be great for many programs and a gift from heaven!
I hope, I'm not too cheeky, but that would solve many problems of many users, who need to use older software on their new devices.
thx a lot in advance!!!

I agree, would be a godsend!
Anyone interested in becoming my hero? I have an Omnia, very capable, but cannot use many java games because of touchscreen ....... I think many would benefit!

I would appreciate that!!

I vote FOR with both hands
An ideea 4 arrows and OK button in the middle like Cruise have.

Me too....

The Toshiba TG01 has some sort of virtual d-pad. Maybe someone can extract it to other WVGA devices?

about direct pad... probably good idea. maybe will look into at next WVGAFIX update.

I think it doesn't work in games and fullscreen applications.

Wow! That would be a greeeat present !!

You should make it bounty !

Perfect

Perhaps very helpful :-T

I'm willing to make the UI
I'm willing to contribute the user interface (you know, nice looking floating small D-Pad) as long as someone will teach me how to programatically control the arrows (probably some kind of a win32 API function that needs to be invoked...)

Great if it was done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It works in some games and apps technically I view it even in opengles apps... but only few games uses it...

There was a pretty big discussion on this quite a while ago, but I think it kind of petered out eventually. One of the ideas was to implement a simulated multi-touch that uses virtual points in between the controls. This works very well in fact in Morphgear for playing games that require a direction and an A button for instance.
To see the multi-touch discussion check out here. To see how it was implemented in morphgear, check out this great skin here.
But even a simple cross with a select button without multi-touch simulation would be wonderful. Same implementation allowing direction + an extra button using simulated multi-touch even better!

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:

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?
