WinMo - Keyboard Layout Bigger?

Is there a way to make the keyboard layout in Window Mobile 6 bigger? I have switched the layout icon in the keyboard setting to large, but I need it bigger for finger typing. The screen size of the Shift is perfect to have a virtual keyboard working; it would cut down on the wear and tear of sliding the keyboard tray every time in slate mode.

You might like one of the many full screen keyboards which are available, check the forum search or google. If you've installed RealVGA, you'll need a VGA version of the keyboard.

I was wondering if the layout could be mod to make it bigger instead of installing third party software. I am currently trying out the Resco Keyboard Pro and it's a great software.

SIP Draggable Keyboard Size Problem

Hey guys, I'm new to this using smartphones/pocket PCs. I just got my Sprint Mogul yesterday, but I've been trying to read up a lot on it for the past week or two so I had what programs and such I wanted kinda of planned out.
Anyway, so I got the WM6 Threaded SMS application installed on my mogul and I ran into the same problem that many people are also which is that the virtual keyboard covers the typing portion of it. So this thread ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=350095 ) gave me the only viable option of changing the SIP Dragstyle from 0 to 1 so that my keyboard is draggable, however, I did not use the Resco keyboard as recommended because I like using the PocketCM Keyboard.
Now the problem is that when I change the dragstyle to "draggable" (1) then it puts that bar on top of my keyboard so i can drag it but it also pushes my keyboard down so that the entire last row of keys are now not visible. I was wondering if there was some way that maybe someone knew or could figure out how to get it to not push down they keyboard like that or to maybe increase that keyboard window size.
P.S. It does this to both the oem keyboard and to the PCM keyboard.
Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks everyone!

wow
i thought i was the only one
i dont want the draggable keyboard ..
i prefer rescos keyboard but i dont know how to remove the bar and the draggable feature
what really bothers me is that it over laps the scoll button so i can scroll down as i used to before..
if u know how t ostop the draggin please let me know

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
change value DragStyle to 0

Soft key menu text sizes

My phone is now running stock wm6.5.
My questions is regarding the soft-key menus, (the menus activated by pressing 2 virtual buttons at bottom of screen), sometimes they are large text and on other programs small text.
Is it possible to force phone only to use small text menus?
Thanks

Yes, just download my TD2 Tools application at the top of the topaz general forum.

[Q] Phone Keypad(Numeric Keypad) on HD2 android

I've been always searching for this fix...is theres any what i can use?...really would like to use this keypad ..thx guys

Unsure as to what you are asking... any way you can make it clearer? What keypad? From which device? etc. etc. etc.

If I understood you correctly, you are trying to switch the querty keyboard into a regular phone keypad.
If so, go to Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch input > Keyboard types and change it to whatever you like.
If not, please ignore the response .

I believe what he wants to use are the "regular" keypad on the Nokia phones (the old ones - none touch screen types).
curious if there are any apps out there...

[Q] Cant get rid of compact keyboard

Hi All
Bit of a silly problem this.
I flashed my HTC HD2 with a Windows embedded handheld ROM a couple of years ago. I haven't used this phone for ages and have no idea which ROM I flashed.
Anyway, it all worked fine until one day, I found I was using the compact keyboard (2 letters / key) and I cant find a way to get rid of it and return to the normal keyboard)
IIRC originally there was an input selector icon below the keyboard. But on this ROM all I get below the keyboard are
Windows, Done, Keyboard, cancel, OK
I've tried settings>personal>Input where this is an option for phone keypad and compact qwerty but it is not selected and changing it seems to make no difference to the keyboard in use.
Its driving me nuts so can anyone tell me how I get my regular keyboard back?
TFAI

tap & hold perhaps to top of keyboard icon or slightly to left or right perhaps !

If only . . . .!!
I've almost worn a hole in that part of the screen!!

Normally it tap & hold for about half a second slightly to right on the keyboard.
Perhaps try it with keyboard open or closed.
Could also try tap & slide to left on keyboard icon with keyboard open .
If all fails you could do a search for a sip selector tool that can be used for toggling through sips or use sipchange & select sip you want & set delay to 8sec & soft reboot & it should have loaded your chosen sip once booted.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tap and hold to the right brought up a Text Input settgins window (hopeful but closer examination showed it onoy contained XT9 settings, a tutorial on text input and 'Symbol Lock' + 'Typing Sound'
.
Could also try tap & slide to left on keyboard icon with keyboard open ..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That brought up a single small pane which had 'Touch Input' and a green circle.
Then touch and hold that made it go away
Then touch to the left of the keyboard icon produced the desired menu !!
I mean WoW, how is anyine supposed to work that out!!!
Anyway I donwloaded the cab in case I get stuck again
Thanks for the advice

Glad you worked it out :-S
Is a bit out of the usual on your ROM.
Really needed a more detailed sip icon so was intuitive of left/right tap zones :-/
Most proper roms have htc ezsip built in which also can have a shortcut in programs for activating a full sip selection menu.
if you decide you want a change/improvement I would recommend the NRG custom ROM, link below should you ever want try it.

Another one I remembered for sip selection was vjsipswitch.
this pops up a sip menu from shortcut in programs, you can also make advanced shortcuts to select specific sip or have toggle effect
cab & thread link below to round this thread off nicely for anyone who stumbles on it.
