Guest Sotiris Lekkas Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 The designer that designed the pin code keypad must had been on drugs or something!!! I would really really want to be in his head and in all the other Q&A people just to see what they were thinking. "What a great keypad that is" users will be thrilled with these small keys squeezed all together on the screen. iPhone became so successful because they made the keys as user friendly as possible. Nice and big on a small 3.5 inch screen. We on our dell are suffering with tiny little keys. For Christ sakes it's difficult to enter the pin even with both hands. In case some of you haven't used the pin code security here is what I'm talking about: http://www.leagueofkarpathos.gr/lockscreen.jpg What i think it should look like or at least give us the option to switch is this: http://www.ipadtipsandtricks.net/wp-conten...-number-pad.jpg I beg all you gurus out there that make magic and cook rom's and all kinds of crazy things. Can someone figure out where the setting for this is hiding? I've tried all the apps on the market but none offers the security the native lock screen offers.

Guest s1xth Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I agree the pin code screen is horrible. I use exchange that enforces pin code lock and I must have the code on. Really needs an overhaul ....:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest untrueparadox Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 i feel like the swype keyboard can be made smaller too. when i swype, its no longer the thumb. i practically glide 4 times across the extra long width of the screen to type a word like practically.

If you are good with adb then pull /system/build.prop OR use Root Explorer and check the value there Check the field ro.sf.lcd_density and check the value there.

SOME of Steve's ROMs run as low as 140 I'm an old man, i need a BIG buttons to see, i run 190... this is about as big as you'd want with a sim lock & even then the bottom row of numbers is partially obscured... i once tried 200, but my then the 'OK' button to accept the sim lock code is not displayed *d'oh* easiest way i personally (i'm adb challenged lol) found to change build.prop (for little changes) was to change the permissions with root explorer, open build.prop as text file with astro, make my changes, save & reboot but each to thier own :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adzman808 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Does this change keep the pin code entry in landscape or can you switch it to portrait? i've never used the pin code entry in portrait i'm fairly the lcd mod affects every screen post boot animation the build.prop lcd change wont affect default rotation Edited December 13, 2010 by adzman808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
