Finger Friendly

I am taking a 2nd stab at this device, got a good deal on used one.

This seems to be an issue for me since I have used mainly HTC devices with HTC UI that puts lipstick on the ugly pig (Windows Mobile).

The LG UI seems very un-finger friendly based on my limited time I have used the device.

I do like some features of the device, the task management is awesome, this device fits well in my hand, it seems well built (I expect well built from LG and Samsung)

The UI is not bad, would like to maximize the finger friendly usage.

I do plan to use a paper clip to align screen, are there other tricks that can be used.

I do see also a link in XDA developers, is there a team working on hard SPL and some additional ROM's for this device?

For anyone who had used the Windows 6.5.3 Tilt2 ROM with HTC Sense 2.5, Windows Mobile becomes much more finger friendly, the menu' s are enlarged even on 3rd party apps that almost eliminate the need for a stylus.

If someone had the technical skills to make similar changes to LG ROM (I do not mean porting HTC interface), I could see a lot of happy campers.

Would a Windows 6.5.3 upgrade to LG IQ/eXpo make any difference?

Hey Dave, Welcome back..

LG's sex appeal got you didn't it hehe.

Have you tried Woodholes tweaker program that he made for us, It uses tweaks an such that we have gathered here an puts it all in one program.
Tweaker Program

Also, I use a wooden toothpick, one of the pointy ones to calibrate my screen, its like the paperclip, but will fold over if, you jabbed it too hard by accident.

Well, hope it works out for you, have fun an enjoy the forums.

how?

first u need to get a better theme that makes menues bigger.

then get urself a functional ui, say titanium or mobile shell. and one day manila.

then clean up ur startmenu.

finally get a better kb say swype.


should never have to use ur stylus

idk if u have fat fingers or what but i never have to use my stylus

yes no difference. Sometimes it responds sometimes it won't.

Point was that, it doesn't respond to finger tips no matter how big the button is.. its the type of screen made for a stylus. I don't use one, never will.. but you need to use your finger nail to use it.

This doesn't sound right at all. I can swap with just a light touch of my finger or thumb (not nail). If you have already calibrated with a paper clip, you should also try Woodhole's Tweaker program if you haven't already done so, it is quite useful.

To launch an app from titanium you need to install a plugin that will do this function. You can find such plugins on xda.
