touch friendly rom

[youngalumni]

Ive tried many roms cooked by you guys and cannot seem to find what i want. simply put i want to know if there has or is a plan to develop a rom more designed for fingers and not styluses? i like having the option of an onscreen keyboard but my fingers disagree with it.

Yep :D

Finger friendly ROM? Your more likely to find Finger Freindly GUI's, take a look around @ what you can use GUI or even Today Plugins depending on what sort of setup you want?
M2D is Finger Freindly for me...
Re: Keyboards plenty of Finger Freindly Keyboards, i use TouchPal not amazing with fingers but makes stylus use more bearable and has loadz of options.....

A good look in Dev section and Google is your friend :D "will help loadz"

That cab is a bigger keyboard, more user friendly...

Actually, this brings up a question I've pondered and have somewhat answered which is "how 'finger-friendly' can a kaiser even be?" The touchscreen itself is designed for the stylus, unlike the iPhone which works best when touched by the pad of a finger and won't even acknowledge when I've inadvertantly used my stylus.

Basically, the kaiser is designed to work with the pinpoint touch of the stylus and can't truly be "finger friendly", right?

i would have to disagree oscar, if you want to make the kaiser more touch friendly, all you simply have to do is make larger icons, most of the new roms use the larger icons and are real touch friendly(ive gone without using my stylus for almost a week now).
the only thing which can really make kaiser not touch friendly is the size of the screen and number of pixels(you need more precision bcuz of this). Because the screen is so small, you cant really fit a lot on there, so to make it more touch friendly you can either make the icons larger and change the name of the phone from HTC TILT to HTC SCROLL(get it, lol, rofl, roflcopter, lmao, roflmao,)
or
i cant remember what i was gonna type, i will add something there when i remember.

man HTC SCROLL............lol, still laughing

the reality is the screen on the kaiser isn't as responsive as other more advanced phones out there, so even you make the icons bigger, there's still a chance that the device won't register the press exactly where you want it to. I've tried all the SIP's out there and I must say, the kaiser just isn't meant for typing onscreen without a stylus. it took me 2 and sometimes 3 times as long to type a text message with the SIP than with the hardware keyboard.

yes, you can make the kaiser 'finger-friendly' by making the icons bigger and adding the large start menus and all that, but the fact of the matter is, the phone was designed during the time when microsoft didn't understand that people didn't like using styli

"... or

Now THAT made me laugh even more than the HTC SCROLL (which was already fun). I agree with your general point, though.

You may be right there; especially typing is not very easy on the soft keyboard. However, I have never tried it on an #-Phone (I'm sorry, I was taught not to use swear words): I suspect that even the #-Phone's soft keyboard is much worse than a hardware keyboard.

Apart from typing text, my experiences with using the Kaiser without stylus are quite good. It greatly depends on what programs you use. Many, including the stock ones, have unresponsive buttons, like the phone dialer. However, I use Resco Contact Manager, which has a dialer without any delays, wonderful. Some SIPs have no delays either.

Oh, and I always set the screen to more responsive in the registry, that makes a huge difference.
