Resize tabstrip to finger friendly? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Does anyone know if there is a way to resize the tabstrip. (Which is the tabs on the bottom of the screen, for example the settings menu). Im wanting them to be finger friendly as it is so small to press with my fingers.
I managed to get plugins to scroll in programs and windows explorer etc, click and hold menu, resize the scroll bar..
Surely someone has made one for tabstrip? Thankyou!

touch flow

what is it what does it do??
i seem to have it on xda orbit but cant do anything with it
help please
assign a button to Touch Flo. If your using Tom's ROM then it is assigned to the GPS button already.
Press the button and give it a second to start. Next sweep you finger across the screen either from left to right or vice versa. And again... and again....
To exit touch flow move your finger from bottom to top.
It does more, look for the video on the B&B 4 thread.
does nothing mate
i thought thats what it was for
still does nothing tho
try this:
open something with scroll bars. you can use file explorer and /windows folder for example.
try scrolling up or down with your fingers. dont use the scrollbars. simply sweep up and down with your finger on the display. try this a bit, it might be a bit tricky if you never did it before.
if you cant scroll this way, you dont have touchflo. this function is always enabled and you dont need to press a button for it.
edit: and yes, if this works, make sure you have it mapped to the correct key. some applications (like tomtom) may overwrite your button settings when you install them.
nope soon as i touch the screen it opens a folder

TP2 Zoom Bar

Does anyone think that a developer will create an application which will allow you to use the zoom-bar for a different functionality, (bit like GScroll) such as a application manager or a scroll control. if so what other functions could it be used for?

I don't have the device yet, but I think it would be great if someone can figure out how to make the zoom bar act as a d-pad like with Gscroll. That is, swipe up for up, swipe left for left, swipe down for down, swipe right for right. You wouldn't be able to use it in apps like games. But I can imagine it would be useful for the following:
-moving cursor around when typing
-scroll though the suggested contacts when you start typing in the "To" field in Messaging
-scroll through the suggested words when you have xt9 enabled
But I guess this is only applicable when the hardware keyboard is hidden since there are arrow keys on the keyboard. Besides, it's probably difficult/impossible for the zoom bar to recognize vertical swipes.
I thought I was on to something when I first started writing this post, but now I feel my idea may not be worth the trouble at all!

Would be nice if the bar was 'split' in two:
the left half is for left/right and the right half is for up/down.
So, each half should be devided into two halves too.
But, for this to work, the actual position of the finger should be known, not only the swipe...
A program like the GScroll AppSwitch would be good to control with the zoom bar, or even a simple way to scroll up and down through menus or things like contacts.

4 icons per row start menu/flick through start menu?

Hi all,
Looking at my lovely Rhodium's start menu, I just can't understand why HTC has placed three icons on a row and not four. By looking at it, I think there's more than enough space to add an extra icon.
Anyone smart found a way to do this? In addition, why do we have to scroll downwards? Why not 'flick' through pages (aka the iPhone does, sorry for using this word here ), either up and down, or from left to right.
Now you must swipe and the menu 'rolls', but I much rather had a menu which I could flick and a 'second page' would appear. This would make scrolling a lot easier and faster!
Have been searching XDA for ages now, but I haven't found any solution to this yet. Anyone any ideas?
this works on TP2

[App] JWMD Quick Shortcut Search and Launcher

Hi guys,
Again, I made a, I think a pretty useful application for Start Menu. It's not yet done, but I want to show a preview on what this app do.
Do you agree that sometimes scrolling way down to the bottom of the start menu is a bit tiring? Though you can move those on top but .. your application shortcuts in start menu will start getting messy
So I made this this start menu app to reduce some of the hard scrolling work.

Interesting concept! I assume how this would work is when Start Menu is opened, the bar shows up on the left and you just select a letter to get all the apps starting with that letter? And assume tapping on the background will "close" the bar?
Think the program would work better if each start menu item displayed was bigger (so it becomes more finger friendly).

Resize App Windows

Greetings,
I randomly appear to be able to resize several apps on my screen when sliding with my finger from the upper left corner down to the middle.
I am then able to maximize, minimize, close or move the the app-window.
But I can never dublicate this process. Does anyone know how to do it?
I am on android 8 with the original firmware.
thanks.
Ok, found out that it is indeed a swipe from any top corner which puts any app into a window.
