Works, but is very small. Is there a fix?

There is a fix... try searching the forum...:)

Or follow my instructions..;)

download lcd density from market (don't know what's the package name exactly but you should be fine with this term)

start it, wait till it got root access. Press continue... know you see your density is 240 just scroll down and press again 240 and apply. The phone will do a soft reboot and your gingie kbd should be at normal size. Be warned it is a bit smaller then the old stock kbd... and this is supposed to be.

Unfortunately this fix will only work till you do a reboot. so after every reboot you have to go through this procedure again. But this shouldn't be a big deal since it costs you only about 30 seconds..:D

I think without root its not possible, even lcd density app need root access to do that change..

Er, perhaps i should've been clearer, i know about that fix, i was wondering if there was alternative fix.

Thanks for the info anyways :)

Haven't got the one from XDA (I'll register there one day lol) so I took a chance and pulled the keyboard out of the SDK changed the version number, but got impatient about renaming the package so I could select it alongside the default 2.1 keyboard so I just replaced the 2.1 keyboard with it. Touch wood no FCs so far unlike some users in the XDA thread.

edit - LOL it doesn't work and the phone had defaulted to the HTC_IME keyboard which I didn't even realise this ROM (BV_1.1.0) had. When enabled just FCs all the time.

Just installed (on Modaco Froyo alpha 4) - it's lovely. Any permanent fix other than the hack needed to get it the right size?

For everybody having the too small keyboard, try to use this file

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...p;postcount=408

Yes that works, sort of... but I have since then figured out what it needs to work perfectly without modification and you'll need a line in build.prop to make the lcd-density-app-fix permanent. I've added this to FFJ RLS4 and also made the Gingerbread keyboard the default keyboard.

For the one with the right knowledge you can add this to build.prop and use the non-modified version:

qemu.sf.lcd_density=240

The hack I made works quite OK in portrait mode but sucks in landscape mode. The build.prop hack and original version works much better.

Sounds interesting.

Just as a matter of interest k_k, do you intend to release FFJ RLS4 before Christmas?

I've bought an SF for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift and I am still deciding which ROM to install on it! If RLS4 isn't due for release during the next couple of days, I'll put RLS3 on there instead. :)

Well, I almost decided on getting in done today but got carried away with trying to overclock the GPU. No luck with the GPU though... I only have some extracts from the MSM7200 manual to work from. A MSM7227 manual would propably help but qualcomm seems to be successful in not leaking any useful information. ;)

Maybe I could get the main release done before Christmas. Would have been nice to have GPU overclocking in it but it's a pain do work things out without documentation.

Off topic: Do we really know, if Blade is based on MSM7227? All the information I have gotten are saying Blade is based on MSM7227-1.

And i have not found specs of MSM7227-1 ;)

Any in depth specs that desribes registers of any MSM7xxx chip that isn't a 7200 could help. I'm looking for info about GRP_NS_REG.

Thanks for this tip! It worked well

but in fact I prefer the look of the stock keyboard... Still cool to have this though :)

Thanks a lot for the tip with the build.prop. that worked great. I'be got another question concerning the build prop. The ...wifichannels= were empty. (Paul's 2.2 alpha 3). Is this maybe in correlation withbthe wifi bug? Or should I just leave it empty?
