ThickButtons Android Keyboard, for those with fat fingers!

by Chaz on Mar.23, 2010, under Android, Smartphones, Software

Here is an interesting keyboard replacement for Android, it’s called ThickButtons and it dynamically changes expected keypresses to fatter keys.

It’s not a bad keyboard replacement and works quite well but I did feel I was a little slower when typing as I had to adjust to the moving keys as they enlarged.

The app is available on the Anrdoid Market for free. Scan the QR code below or search for “thickbuttons” on the Market.

Swype beta for Android now open to signup to.

I’ve just gotten a Google alert which let me know that a Swype open beta was now available.

Swype is a different keyboard input system for Android where you slide your finger to each letter on the virtual keyboard and it will transfer any letters you stop on into words.
I’ve just tried it on my Archos 5 Internet Tablet and it works very well! Definately worth signing up to the beta. :)

HTC Sense keyboard from the HTC Desire rom on Nexus One and Motorola Droid/Milestone.

by Chaz on Feb.18, 2010, under Android, Software

A user on the (Ph)android forums has posted a little guide on how to download and install the keyboard from the HTC Desire on the Nexus one. This will also work on Droid/Milestone (in fact it should work on all Android devices with the same screen resolution!). EDIT: It won’t install on my Android 1.6 based Archos 5 Internet Tablet. :( Looks like it needs Android 2.x
