Guest Fossil52 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Perhaps I'm missing a trick with the menus. Maybe I'm looking for something that is a waste of time, but... I have fat old fingers and struggle to hit the correct keys, even when in "landscape" mode, so I thought I'd try working with a "phone style" keyboard in predictive mode (you can tell I haven't been using a smart phone for very lng, can't you?). I'm 100% certain that the keyboard from original 2.3.4 ROM in the OMC could be changed to a couple of differing styles (one of my daughters managed to get her OMC into a different mode in the early days), but I can't find any options with Atomic 3E. Any ideas ? (I've looked in the marketplace and not found what I'm looking for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michaelwave Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Rather than getting a phone style keyboard, I recommend Swype keyboard, you type words by swiping, perfect for fat fingers! Check it out in action on youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wacky.ddw Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Im actually a big fan of go keyboard it goes very well with the atomic theme, and its from the same makers as the launcher :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fossil52 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Im actually a big fan of go keyboard it goes very well with the atomic theme, and its from the same makers as the launcher :) Thanks for the suggestion. The go keyboard is now on my OMC, and first impressions are very encouraging.... It even has the "phone style" option I was looking for, and that appears to be quicker in use (for me) than the default. I'm not sure if I need all the haptic do-dah :blink:, but I'm sure I'll find the menu options to turn it off eventually. Edit: gets better - auto changes from numeric style in portrait to full keyboard in landscape on turning the OMC 90 degrees Further Edit: works nicely but battery life taken a dive - 60% capacity gone overnight, instead of the usual around 1% per hour at rest. un-installed. Will see if OMC gets back to "normal" Shame. Edited March 12, 2012 by Fossil52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
