Antialiasing / "Cleartype" in Android - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Is there a way to enable global antialiasing or font antialiasing in Android? Text looks pretty rough on my new Samsung Galaxy S and I'm pretty sure that the hardware in this thing is more than capable of doing some AA.

I am wondering the same thing, the HTC Wildfire has the same problem. "Cleartype" would be a very good solution. Maybe that in a next Android version it will be implented, because there are more phones coming with smaller resolutions, like the Xperia mini.

i have the same problem in my GT-5800,i need help...

That would be great!

Apparently the memory size stated on this website is not correct (should be twice as much). Can anyone confirm?

It's good to see that the TouchFlo feature is strengthened with more applications.
I'm shocked that no one mentioned this, but isn't the numeric keyboard unnecesary on this device? It adds size to the device and zero functionality because the on-screen numeric keyboard it's about the same size and as usable. If it was a QWERTY keyboard, that would make some sense.
I'd like to see an HTC Touch with 128 MB RAM and 3G (and maybe a bigger battery to compensate), I believe one like this is coming.

[Q] Has anyone got, or extracted from Omnia II, the Swype KB

I saw the Swype Keyboard Here and I see it's so far only available on the Omnia II, which runs WinMo 6.1. Has anyone sucessfully extracted it from there or know where/when it'll be available? My googling hasn't got me anywhere :/
Would be pretty neat to have on our massive Leo screens

They have a similar and very good keyboard

Agree with you. It's a very good keyboard. The only disadvantage is that it does not (yet) support landscape in WinMo6.5. Dasur wrote to me that they know this 6.5 problem and are working on it. Swype seems to be almost identical to SlideIT.

Symbols page is too small. Other than that, it's not too bad. And, yes, they COULD take advantage of larger buttons in the landscape page.

NEED THE SE X2 Surface!!!

Hi together,
is it possible to get the SonyEricsson X2 Surface working on our HD2? Have a look on youtube, it looks great, funny animations etc...
Does anyone know if this is possible? I saw a lot of imported surfaces from Samsung or other phones, maybe this one is possible to bring in as well?
Cheers
Sure, you need to install the X2 PAPEL INTERFACE and the TILEWAVE PANEL... seach for ti on the X1 subforum...
But it´s won´t work with the SENSE... you have use one or the other... I think it doesn´t worht the work
Thx for the hint! I will have a look over there.
Cheers
Sascha
You mean this: http*//htcpedia.com/ARK-XPERIA-X2-PM-AND-PANELS/soft/rhodium-apps.html ?
* needs : after http..
I tried the tilewave panel! It's much much faster on the HD2 than on the X2

[REQ] The new dialer from HD mini

Hi All
I was wondering does someone knows where can the new dialer from HD mini be found if at all? The HD mini seems to work on WM 6.5.3 and it have new Sense and the dialpad icon in the dailer is not like the current one (ugly in 6.5.3 builds) Also I have seen in some videos of the HD mini that HTC have removed the Start button at all from the interface and I personaly think it is nicer that way!

yeah, but whats keeps us from rebuilding it
I have to say, it is the first iteration of WM6.5.x that has not revolted me with the normally hideous bottom menu and phone buttons, but we are still left with TWO clocks on the Home screen, which are redundant and a waste of space. I am excited about possible refinements to the Sense UI finding there way into cooked ROMs for the HD2, or better yet, an official Sense update for the HD2, which can then find its way into cooked ROMs!
A little Update! The patch that was given earlier is not working on any ot the ROMs I've tested so far! So we are back to square one (do not pass GO do not collect 200) any help on the matter PLS?
can you share it by attach?

New HTC HD2 user.

I recently upgraded my phone to HTC HD2. My phone before was Samsung Omnia i900. My problem is I'm not liking the keyboards (only 3 keyboards) on the HD2, I keep making many mistakes. On the Omnia I think there were 5 or 6 different keyboards. The keyboard I used the most on the Omnia was, Samsung Phonepad, I found it very easy to use. My question: Is it possible to have this keyboard on the HTC or something similar?
Or if anyone can recommend another keyboard I would be very grateful.
Thx
