Default rooted apps, or change font size

if you put android on the kaiser.
does that mean you can use apps for rooted devices.

As far as I'm aware, all android builds for kaiser are rooted, so we should be able to use rooted apps, although I have seen a few issues with rooted apps so your experience may vary.....

Hi there
I am 90% blind and have trouble using the phone, I long for an app that would allow me to change the font size, I found a program for WM to hack the font size, but not found this for Android yet. But if you want big font sizes in Text, get ChompSMS, its great, you can set incoming and outgoing font size and colour (which is great, cos I like black on yellow), I have font size set to 30pt (which should show just how bad my sight is!) but it means I can read texts now, I couldn't do that in WM! I am testing the 'eye's free' applications, which is text to speech, but its a bit hit and miss.

Hope that helps

Leona.

In 2.2 Froyo, I noticed that there is a 'Font size' in Spare Parts, which does make the menus readable (to me), but sadly once you come out of the menus the option is lost and you are back to small fonts, doesn't seem to save, shame
