I have seen in several apps the Samsung keyboard is shrunk by almost half, not touching the sides of the screen, and it's like a miniature version of the keyboard. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it just an app developer thing that is conflicting with the new screen size?
One app I know is doing it Hearthstone

Turn off one handed mode. I use Gboard for its larger, more customizable keyboard.

That's not the fix.
This is the gaming mode keyboard. You need to go to Game Tools and turn the gaming keyboard off.
I searched settings for all things game, none have the keyboard option. I looked into the game launcher settings, and it wasn't there either.
It was a setting in game tools. It's called floating keyboard, and it was auto set to on. I had to open a game, go to the game tools icon on the nav bar, then go to "additional feature". The option was in there.
BTW: thanks for the help guys.

Has anybody created or found a dialer with big buttons? The buttons I have currently are about 1.5cm x 1cm. My fingers, which arent even that large, always press buttons other than the intended ones. This is mostly a problem with I'm driving. On top of that, I dont use the smartdialer, so it is just a waste of space. If someone could get ride of the smartdialer, and enlarge the bottons about 3 times, the dialer would be perfect!

Search for what you typed as the subject for this thread and you should be good to go!
yeah, ive seen all of those, but i want even biggger buttons. something to get rid of the smart dial completely. or even cooler would be buttons that take up the whole screen with the dialed numbers in the background. that would be great.
look at this:

if this is not big enoph for you i recomend somthing like this picture

What? Do you want to pan around the screen for the buttons?

There's no such dialer in this place. They cook Rom's and stuff but big buttons seem too difficult.
Hello,
Can anyone make a keyboard that looks exaxctly the same like the original htc diamond keyboard but black.
the colors could be like in shapewriter
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
Has anyone found one? Could be nice to keyboad to match with everything else
Just a side note: Shape Writer is also available for WinMo and is incorporated in every app, rather than just one (as in the iPhone). Just go on Shape Writer's website.

i use Shape Writer for everything, its brilliant. Have a look in the Themes and Applications section, there is a thread called "SWYPE!!!" which discusses it on page 6, and has a download link.
I always use the standard WinMo keyboard. I check the big buttons options with the use of gestures in the settings , which make your buttons smaller again but you get an extra row of numbers on your keyboard. I often use these gestures and it's really handy.
I wish there was a way to make the buttons a bit bigger again so i could use my fingers to type, I wouldn't mind reserving half the screen for a good keyboard.
So is there a keyboard out there with the use of gestures but without for instance the enter/backspace/shift buttons and without the spacebar
But a del button would be nice though, theres no gesture for that...
Actually forget the keyboard, is there a way to add more gestures in the WinMo keyboard??? That would be awsome!
hey I was thinking about the same exact thing. There are a lot of keyboards out there but i dont think much people realise how "potentially" awesome the Winmo Keyboard actualy is. If only the keys can be enlarged a little bit. or if a pop up ability could be added this should make one of the best keyboards out there am sure.
Hi all. I'm looking and trying but I can't find the setting to make all the buttons hidden during a call and just show a tab to drag up to show the dialer. I've set it before but it gets reset everytime I update cm7. Thanks!

Ok, still no solution, so maybe this will help....
currently my in call screen looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It used to look like this:
Somewhere through updating the cyanogen 7 nightlies I lost the option for "Force Touch UI" so that option is of no help.
any help would be great as I keep hitting buttons with my face because the proximity sensor on the phone is crap

The heroc does not have a proximity sensor.
As to the other question, I have not been able to find the option to hide the buttons. The only thing I can think to do would be to set the screen to turn off sooner.
There was an app or mod a while back that used the light sensor to turn the screen off or make the buttons go away. I cant remember what it was called but should work.
The second screen shot looks like an alternative dialer app. Might be worth it to try a non-stock dialer app to see if it does what you want.
One of the very very few nice things with 2.1 was the display zoom feature so games like Drop 7 (great puzzle game, BTW) could be scaled to fit the screen. Any option like that for JB, or is that a non legacy function from ICS?
I'm also curious about this feature and didn't see info on this elsewhere in the forum. I did some googling and the only mention I can find is someone discussing that this feature was removed in the latest Android. I'd post the link but since I have too few posts that feature is blocked for me.
Any more knowledgeable folks out there that can confirm/deny what's going on with this?
Wonder why it was removed from JB? It worked fine. Now Drop 7 is a tiny window. Also smaller on my S3 and Excite 7.7 with JB, but the higher res with the HD+ makes it like a large postage stamp.
Surprised there is no rooted app for this.
Have you tried Settings > Accessibility > Magnification gestures?
That option is not in CM settings that I could find.
I also can not find an option to force open GL, that is in my other JB using devices.
Open GL I'd normally in developer settings, but that is not in settings. As with no magnification option in accessibility.
That said, a magnification setting is not in any of my devices.
Screenshot of 'Magnification gestures' option below. It's probably not what you want, however.

That is scary. Completely missed that. Seems to work fine for Drop 7, since zooms 3X and not blurry
Do we also have the force open GL option, or was that removed from 4.2.2?
Developer options > Force 4x MSAA ?
Makes sense.

smart and cool ....thanks
Awesome app. The calculators at work all have dead batteries so this will be perfect.
I know this is me just trying to break it so usually this may not happen but if you swipe with no numbers twice it will crash every time.
I also find this very hard to close. Possibly because I have wear mini launcher so the very edge of the screen is taken up by that (no issues closing other things). The only way I close this is crashing it or dimming the watch.

Bugs fixed with new update.
Long press to exit the app.
the use of swiping to add, multiply etc is a nice way of overcoming the 'lack of space' problem. i'd definitely use it!
Thank you for your comments
i like it, thank you!
Swipe doesn't work so I'm not able to choose the operation.
I'm on stock 5.1.1.
