Ive looked around and cant seem to find any answers so.
Does anybody know how i would go about making it smaller like in Cyanogen mod 6.1?
I have already changed my lcd density and everything changes except the keyboard size.
Thanks
nobody got any answers if you use a a lcd density app it changes size but if you reboot your phone it goes back to normal size nobody know any file i can change to make this permanent
Edit the build.prop and add qemu.sf.lcd_density=220 or whatever you want to use.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
right ill try that cause i don't have that line in my build.prop
and get back to you
Thanks for the tip it worked a treat
No problem. This was how we got the Gingerbread keyboard to not resize itself to be really small when it was first leaked.
thanks or all informations

Hi,
I was missing some small clocks that do not block the TF3D background too much.
To solve my "problem" I just created two versions in black and white. One with a semi transparent clock background and one without a clock background.
The actual numbers are a little far away from eachother but experimenting getting them closer gave some nasty image conflicts. If anyone has an solution let me know and I update the clock.
If you are looking for any other color let me know and I get it done for you.
*********************
EDIT: 23 Nov 2008
Version 1.1
Available colors in zip:
Black
White
Updates:
Used a bit better readable font
Updated positioning
Fixed Lower Curtain error
To Do
Change distance between numbers
Make Semi Transparent flip smaller
thank you very much
Very nice but...
... I can't get it to work with Sprint theme. Still have the Sprint clock BG and the : between the numbers
hi thanks for ur clock
But I got one problem after installing ur clock, the touch flo bar at the bottom turned into a thinner style after I have installed ur clock. how can i change it to normal style? thanks
The idea of smaller clock is brilliant, but these are just too small
@g0mib0y
Like mentioned in the readme you should use the diamnond config tool from susilange to restore to original files from you rom. If you do a quick search on the forum you should be able to find the tool to restore your TF3D. Before you restore can you post a screenshot for me to see what happened as it works good on my end. I would like to fix it for eveyone.
@jonson10
I guess that it works different for the sprint rom. I will take a look at this and see how others have get it to work for the sprint ROM.
@usper
I'll take a look at making them a little bigger for you

Find the files that are in the zip in your \Windows folder on your device.
Delete them and soft-reset. They will restore from the ROM.

@ dickenz
Thanx for the follow-up. this is indeed the best thing to do when the diamond config does not do the trick. Weird however seeing that the config tool deletes all the manilla files and restarts so it will be reinstalled from the ROM and should solve the problem.
@ jonson10
I'll take an other look at the issue somewhere today. Which clock did you use the clock with the glassclock background or the one without background? Let me know so I can take a better look at it. There are some files in the glassclock BG that could cause this but I need to know for sure you are using this
i like the idea of a smaller clock, but with the border around the clock still being the same size it eliminates any reason i had to download it i dont suppose you could reduce the size of the border around so the calender etc are pushed up more into the center of the screen?

Works fine with original manilla theme
these look really good, but they are too spaced out, is there anyway to get the clock that size but with less space between the numbers?
another idea i have is, if you used the ones with no background and removed the numbers too!!
NOONE has made an invisible clock yet and it would be the best way to get a full wallpaper
i would really like the invisible clock.
would this be possible?
thanks for your help and your small clock <- EDIT i have just realised how bad that sounded lol sorry
i like your clocks however i am having trouble installing it..i am using Resco explorer to copy the files in the windows directory but i get the following error:
First it says that the destination file is in ROM and that i can damage my system if i continue. After i click on yes i get the following:
Cannot move file xxxxxx. The file already exists.
i tried searching for this but i couldnt succeed until now...
cant anyone help?
Created some updates on the Small Clock You can down load version 1.1 from the first post. Update history is also listed there.

Did you setup the resco explorer to overwrite all files? You can do this under Menu\Options\General than under the tab Files check all boxes and select Copy.
Let me know if that did the trick.
thats how it was set up but it didnt want to work..anyway, i used total commander and it worked..
Ok good to see it was solved any way. It is weird as I use the Resco myself and do not have this issue :-S
Anyway it is solved so that is the most important
Really great work!
What I would really love, is the transparrent one, but with white digits insted of black.
Could you do it?
Pretty please!!!

Swype has just been leaked for android, and it's awsome!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLwxIwMFzR4
How to install:
http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/12/30/how-to-get-swype-on-android/
Now to my question:
I am from Denmark, but there is no danish dictionary available. Would it be possible to either install a danish dictionary somehow (Can't find out where they put the dictionaries in the .cap...) or to just make a HUGE list of danish words in the "User dictionary" somehow?
This version will not work for MT3G or G1 users. Screen resolutions do not match.

I assume we would need to change the resolution values in at least SwypeScreen.ini found in "/assests/files/" in the apk and resize the images in "assests/keyboards/"
What are the g1/mytouch portrait and landscape resolutions anyways?
Files are 854*256, and 480*320 for the kb skins. We also have 24*24, 19*19, and 15*15 for some icons.
*edit* I tried resizing one of each the kb skins in gimp, I've got 480*144, and 320*213 that looks about right don't you guys think?*edit*

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609496
and probably others...
I went with the ratio above for the files, but no go. Installed fine, but complained about wrong resolution. I'll try resizing now to more exact proportions which should be 480*171 (for the droids 852*256) and 320*180 (480*320).
I still haven't found another file that talks about resolutions either, also maybe I have to change the file names to represent the updated size, though I don't think that should matter.
So there's a Swype build that got out with a leaked Magic RUU. I managed to get it installed on my myTouch 3G and partially running. Installation is complicated by the need to install a library to /system/lib (so only rooted devices need apply right now).
If anyone manages to get the Swype-based input to actually output, or figure out the build.prop changes to make the annoying messages go away, please let me know. I'm not going to have the chance to mess with it this weekend so I figure I might get people started.
I was also looking at that, but I guess I'm having the same results you are. Personally, no error messages, but the keyboard doesn't show up at all.

What makes SlideIT superior to Swype, what can SlideIT offer me that swype can't?
here is a link for the swype.apk for the mytouch/g1 www dot mediafire dot com/?kymmewehmjz
sorry new users cant post links replace dot with (.) and install using astro or another file manager
i have this working on a htc touch hd running android thru haret it works great but does come up with the error but thats fine for me i can type soo fast now!
As what I understand, SlideIT is available in the market so its easier to get it, Swype is harder to attain

Thanks for this. Worked great on a mytouch since the one in the first link wasn't for the mytouch screen res (HVGA).
Hi there,
As my eyes are pretty poor and have fat fingers, I'm looking for an app that will allow me to change the Font and icon size of my desire... I thought that option would be under accessibility settings but that's greyed out.. Email is fine as the client will increase the font, but that's no use for the rest of the phone...
Thanks for any help.
Dmont
Hi all,
I have that problem too. Anyone can tell us how to enlarge the Fonts? (I mean, not only some Apps, but the hole system)
Thank you!
There's an app named Font Size in the Market. It never worked for me, though...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You can use "Spare Parts" appl. Search it in the market
I never manage to change the font size with SpareParts. If you can do it with this software please share .
But i doubt you could do that since Desire is not fully rooted (no rw /system, etc....).
And if my memory is ok i remenber of bug report about Android concerning the font size..
...2 mintutes later...
Well i found the thread concerning this bug report it is here. I don't want to discourage you but the thread started on Nov 06, 2009 and the last message was...yesterday ....and still no solution
Another way to change size of font (not really the size of the font) is playing with "build.prop" in /system and changing the "ro.sf.lcd_density" (by defaylt 240 on WVGA..210 is good value but fonts are more little. Maybe increasing the value may let you have bigger fonts).
Hope this help a little
at last I found a solution that works (for me anyway)
I downloaded an app called font changer and picked a font called chinese cat, it's a little bit cartoonish but it's a fair trade off as all the system fonts are just that little bit bigger and easy for me to read now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744363
But you need a rooted device for font changer as well..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had this original Desire Z bought a week ago in Hong Kong Broadway. Everything works fine except the fonts are a bit small to me (I am a 50 years old man and the small fonts on DZ got me reading problem sometimes).
I have downloaded a software called "Spare Parts" which it has a function to change the system fonts to various sizes (from extreme small to extreme large) but I tried so many time and the change only applies on the software font size itself but not the system. And when you get out from the application and return to it, the font size that you chose will back to normal again! Other than that, all other functions on this application work OK.
Any guy in the forum can offer me help so that I can change the font size. It can be an application, an instruction......or whatever, except, if possible, no need to flash the ROM.
Thousand thanks in advance!

Are you rooted? Try the app LCDensity.
Turn the number up. But not too much.
Yes, my DZ is rooted and I tried the LCDDensity. This can change but not much as the fonts will overlapped if I make it too large (I pushed to 280). So, the max it can increase is 260, just a little bigger than the original size.
I have also I9000 in hand. Wondering why the I9000 screen is only 0.3" bigger than DesireZ, but the font size on I9000 is much much larger and very visible.
Thanks anyway
This was easily changeable in WinMo, and seems something of an oversight in Android that there isn't a system setting for this. Looks like you're not alone :
http://www.v3.co.uk/v3/news/2270405/android-font-size-causing
Wow....I really thought that I was the only one suffering this font size problem....
I went to several mobile phone shop or some smartphone repairing shop today and asked if they have any good solution for that....but they all turned me down, which means this could be a permanent problem for the Desire-Z. Extremely disappointed as all the other functions on this phone are real well.
Then I also tried on one of the phone shop to see if Desire HD can be better because HC has a 4.3" screen..... but sorry again, larger screen don't mean larger font size. Yes, it looks a bit bigger, but just a bit! Why a 4.3" screen has the same font size as a 3.7" screen? Then, why need a 4.3" screen?
I9000 only has 4" but the font size is very very visible. I was trying to trade-in my new Desire-Z to get another I9000 (I already have one but I have 2 sim cards) but all I9000 are sold out.
So, I have to bring my glasses with me all the time in order to read the phone content....
By the way. I saw from the link (v3.co.uk) that we can flash a Cyanogen ROM, the font could be bigger. Is that true? Anyone flashed that ROM before? Will this ROM conflict with my HK Chinese HTC version?
Really need help on this!

hi all ^^

not just the font , it is the dock and icons and the dock which is up
but i downloaded it from hd2 forum so can any one tell me :
how to make every thing some bigger ?
because i cant see ^^
sorry for my bad english
Find a build.prop editor, and edit the line that says lcd_density. You will find it somewhere around 180 or 160 .. 220 is default. The bigger the number, the larger things are on your screen.
Google "how to edit build.prop android".
Edit: Glad I helped.
thanks
