Titlebar, "X" and "ok" buttons... - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that this is a bit general but does anyone know of a way to enlarge the "X" and "ok" buttons (in the top right of the screen) to make it more finger friendly?
I don't mind if it enlarges the titlebar (as long as its not too large).
BTW - I have an X1 - running "vanilla" WM6.1
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Alan

You can use a WM 6.51 rom?
The X/OK button has been moved to the bottom right and are much larger

2 Skins for the PocketCM Keyboard with multilanguage layouts

I have made 1 new and thats the Carribean sea skin with both an qwerty and azerty multilanguage layout. The other skin i have edited the Iphone skin 2manyphones made (His orginal post) a little so it fits my layouts. I think he has done som great work on that skin . Iphone also got qwerty and azerty layouts.
For more info, pictures and downloading you can see on these two links.
Carribean sea skin
Iphone skin
At this there is no VGA skin of them. But i'm thinking of make them. I dont have any VGA phone so can be a little hard to test them so if some one could help me with that i would thankful for that
Seems like the multilanguage layout works out great for me. If there is any letters or symbols you miss tell me. Also write the symbol/letter both in caps and lower since it would be easyer for me to add them.
This is the letter associations these layouts have now:
aåáàäãą¥,eæéèêëę,iíîï,oøóôöõ,uúùüû,cçć,sšß,zžżź,yý,nñ,lł
Correct me if some of the symbols are on the wrong place. Symbol pads are added for every letter.
Hope you like them and would like to hear what you think about the color scheme on the Carribean sea skin.
Where do you download?

I have uploaded the skins now. But you could download them the forum i linked to
You did a great job, especially with the heaps of symbol pads hidden everywhere. What I don't like is the very small "shift" key, since we germans need it quite often. Is there a way, to make it bigger?

Hey good you liked it . Could you tell me what skin you are using and maybe how mutch bigger you think the shift button should be. Cause have to make some other button smaller if the shift button should be bigger. So have to look at it.

Well, I'm using the really nice iphonegrey skin. I'd like to have the shift key about as big as the backspace or return keys. I could best live with a smaller return key, since I really don't use this one very often. So maybe the return key would be the right button to shrink a little in size. Keep up the good work!
Here is the English version with a bigger shift key. I didn't mess too much with the shift and symb screens, but it should be a little better.
Keep in mind you need to use both the skin AND the layout file for this to display right.
Tweak as you like!
Can this be used for VGA Devices?

Nice skin, but I have three questions:
1. Can you make a blue version (like the real iphone) using this new layout (Gray 3.5)?
2. Can you make a backspace a little bigger (version 3.5)?
3. There is a bug in "return" button. If you press and hold for 250ms, one menu it's appears (option - cut - copy - paste), but with your skin, you will see just a black "button".
Thanks a lot and as always, sorry my bad english..
Really like this app. Using Ialu layout ... with some modifications and replacing the graphics, here's what I have.
BTW, how can I use a different png graphics for shift/backspace/space/return when the key is pressed?

2. Try his original layout. The bigger shift key and smaller backspace were requested by me.
BTW thanks Ialu. I like the bigger shift key now.

Hi 2manyphones, would it be possible to move the backspace key(x) away from the right, it is a bit hard to get to it. This is only in lowercase letters, it uppercase letters it is correct. Otherwise loving this layout, much easier to type.
I also have the blank buttons when holding the Return button, until you slide over the buttons.
hope more themes for POCKETCM keyboard
keyboard displays different on my Kaiser
I absolutely love this keyboard app and skin, but when installed on my kaiser, it's misaligned. the picture on the right is from my kaiser and the picture on the left is from the GrayIphone 3.5 zip file
it
looks like the height of the keyboard is too short. am i out of luck or can this be fixed with some type of adjustment. thanks in advance for any suggestions...

You need to select both the skin file and the correct layout file for it to display correctly. From your screen shot it is clear the wrong layout file is selected. Sometimes you also need to do a soft reboot to get it to change.
I added = and + to the English layout 2.1 with number keys along the top of the symbol pad.
Use this layout file with the iPhone 3.3 skin.
layout file...
I love the gray Iphone skin. I have used it for a while now. I got it from tene pocketcm site. I was using underwatertub's iphone + smilies but the keys on this one are way larger.
Would it be possible to add a layout to the english edition so that when a user presses and holds the "." key a row pops up giving the options of punctuation? For example ?!,()etc and maybe a few smilies? Underwatertub did it on his and man it works great!!!
Also, on the "," could have a pop up on a press and hold function, that had a numeric row.
Only ideas, the skin is awesome!!!!
Curious George
Just noticed that holding down the ".?123" button does do some of this.
Another idea: What about predifined text with a press and hold on "Return"...ie Running late. yes. no. call me....etc

Thanks. I'm glad you like the skin. You can change what characters display on each page in the layout file. It can be opened and edited in wordpad. Just make sure you don't add or delete any spaces, so the skin still displays correctly. As for holding the return key to get quick replies, that is a good idea, but to my knowledge the return key pop up is set to options, cut, copy and paste. Meaning I don't think it can't be customized at this point. I made this skin primarily for my own use, so fogive me if my response to requests is not as fast as underwaterdub or others who have posted their own skins. I will keep making tweaks, taking into account forum feedback and personal usage and posting when I can.

T-mobile Wing Mod Requests :)

hello all, i have a couple requests (most likely has to do with registry editing)
1: Hide the top bar (time, and stuff)
2: Have a big invisible x button to close programs (no need for stylus)
3: Hide bottom bar (calendar/contacts) but still be able to use the soft keys to access them
thanks a bunch in advanced
nice request
those are some nice request. but if someone even tries to cook this rom then we should think of giving them a donation for their work dont you think?

As taken from my guide:
Can I get rid of the "Contacts / Calendar" bar?
Dcino Bar is a great app to get rid of it. Simply place this app in your Windows/Startup folder, you can download it Here

you can still use the keys on the phone to access the "contacts or calendar"
thx a lot tyler, it worked great, is there anyway to make it invisible for all programs as well?
One of the Rom Cookers need to keep these ideas in mind...
Maybe have a version out which is fully powered by the touch cube and pocketCM default. Its becoming more smoother to use as a regular phone and I can see my calendar on the main screen!!!
i actually prefer a software solution rather than loading a new rom

The author of pocketCM asks that it not be included in ROMs.
Ugh... yes! I want a big x button so I don't have to turn my finger and slide it up in the corner to hit the x.
WM5 on the older PALM devices have the X button moved to the left so it's not up against the edge; can we do that on the thing by editing the registry somehow?

I use FTouchSL to do this. I made the top left active corner a close option so it closes the application thats open. You can set how many pixels it is & the amount of time it takes to activate. It works perfectly

how do you exit with touchit ?

I loaded a touchit rom on my wing.. and it is so much better than default windows functionality.
One annonyance still remains though. When I am in a program (e.g. looking at contacts list), when I want to get out of the program, I have to reach all the way down to hit the 'end call' button (physical button with red telephone on it).
Other alternative is to click the close button on top right. But that can not be reached with a normal finger since it is so tiny.
So can there be a touch gesture which can make me exit quicker ? Or is there already one which I do not know about ?

Get rid of menu bar at bottom?

Hey is there anyway to change the menu bar at the bottom where there is a little windows icon (in the newer builds of WINMO) back to the original start menu in the top left corner???

Short answer = No.
The whole point of these new 6.5.X builds is to have it at the bottom and bigger so it's more finger friendly.
dwizzy130
Actually, having it on the top left was more finger friendly to me. Holding the phone with my left hand, my thumb has to do some serious contortionist moves to tap the start button on the bottom, whereas on the top it's just a little above where my thumb can reach, so just a minor stretch. I actually prefer the 6.5 builds because of this.
Well, that and the "Finger friendly" initiative microsoft is taking seems to be just make everything bigger, a big patch fix rather than an honest effort at revamping the backend.
EDIT: this has very little to do with ROM cooking though, so I imagine this thread will be moved or closed soon.

Sounds like you have to look for Build 21889 (COM2 branch) ROM's! That's what you want!

hmmm..never used my fingers to press that but it's thumb friendly enough for me but yea i am not a fan of the menu bar at the bottom so i use the 21889 build which has the old style that you like. If you look at NRG's newest ROM he cooked both builds

Question concerning the HTC TD2 keyboard

Hey folks,
I'm very, very new to installing new software on my HTC TD2, but I've been browsing a bit around on the web. Looking for a keyboard that actually works with my fingers. I really dislike those QWERTY keyboards, I simply want a 0-9 keyboard with buttons filling up like 50%+ of the screen, like some samsungs have! I just wanna be able to type while I'm walking and such, not always having to depend on my stylus,
I hope you people get what I mean and that someone could help me out
yfrog.com/efnaamloosqp
I crappy image which I've made with paint + touchpad, so don't mind the quality. Just to give an example
Thanks in advance people!
When typing, press the little arrow next to the keyboard icon at the bottom of your screen. Press phonepad
Hi!
Is it possible to install and use the original WM6.5 keyboard and input methods in conjunction with the EzInput 2.1 keyboards from HTC? Now the SIP selector only shows the HTC keyboards.
BTW: I'm using a cooked 6.5 (21891) ROM with manila 2.5.20113626.
Regards,
PK

Figured that one out already, but there are many 'useless' buttons like the: ' | " | and others which fill up way to much of the screen, I'm really looking for something that just mainly shows numbers in a size that makes it very easy to click them!
Just make the link as I posted it in my first post, as I made a little image to show what I mean ^^
