Confirmed keyboard fix works. I just did 300 then 240 without bothering with 260 and it worked great. Thanks!

How do we put back the default MT keyboard, mine was real small.

I just installed this from Fabo but still getting a small KB... no bueno!!

Not sure why??

I installed it. Seems nice so far. It totally replaced my multi-touch keyboard. I no longer see it offered in my settings. I didn't know it would be overwritten. I didn't even have time to say goodbye.

There's no way to have a choice of them both, is there?

Here is a link to the regular keyboard - Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

 

[Fabolous]

Sorry, no choice

I put up a file to restore the MT keyboard though.


Also, those of you with tiny keyboard, you didn't happen to mod your LCD density, did you?

No, no LCD density changes for me.

Just whatever lcd setting you put into apex 1.0.2.2

Not at all.... I don't even have that app!!

 

[JkdJedi]

I tried flashing this but got taken to SBF bootloader....should I have deleted some files before flashing?

Nevermind, something wrong with my Rom Manager app.... 2nd time this has happened w/ a different rom. ($hit!) Bootstrap is the ticket.

I had LCD density at 210. Changed it to 240 and it makes no difference. Going to try installing again with LCD at 240 from the start to see if that helps.

edit: No luck. I'm no expert, but should wiping cache help at all?

 

[Fabolous]

another question for you with the tiny keyboards, do you have the NexTheme or REVOlution fonts installed?

That, I believe, is the source of the issue.

I have nextheme for apex which I thought had stock fonts?

No themes. Vanilla ApeX 1.0.2

Something to do with the 2.3.15 version maybe?

 

[C0n57an71n3]

I'm running Fission right today and I installed this version (and the droid-life version) and they're both super small.

No LCD changes or font changes.

Works great for me! Might even replace Smart Keyboard Pro.

Thanks Fab!
