[REG] magnifying glass software

Hi
Is there any software that will zoom in on a text area? For example in a text field if I want to move from the 7 character to the 3rd character to correct a mistake it's a guessing game where you click unless you use the stylus. A friend showed me his IPhone and his will put a magnifying glass over the text area so you can move your finger left and the cursor will follow.
Searched on Google but could not find anything like what my friend had.
Thanks
ps. Could someone please change the title from [REG] to [REQ]. Thanks

i don't see any significant magnification on the i-photo you posted
i agree that it's easier if you can move the cursor by moving your finger left or right in the magnifying glass but believe me it's as easy as using the arrow keys in htc keyboard to move the cursor!No need to tap on the screen, just use the arrows to find the right spot

The problem is I don't use the HTC keyboard. I use Resco with the iskin theme and are no cursor keys with that. I agree that the HTC keyboard with it's up down left right keys is the best way to navigate a text box but for people that don't use that keyboard it makes things more difficult.

has anything new popped up with this request. I know the Droid X and Droid 2 have this feature as well. Is there anyway to port this now that more and more android devices are getting this? Is it even possible to port something like this to the Droid 1?

the xperias used to have this... but they removed it with Android 8

TP2 keyboard vs TP1 Keyboard

After having a brief trial with the TP2 at voda yesterday, I actually found the keyboard less efficient for me, as with moderate speed my fingers would ocassionally press down multiple keys at once. I think the letterbox design of the original prevented this, as begin typing almost flawlessly with first use.
So previous Touch pro/Fuze owners whove switched:
1. Whats been your experience with Speed/accuracy typing. Better/Same/Worse?
2. Do you miss any of the removed keys in day to day use?
Ill have have another go today to see if it was just my muscle memory messing things up. However if the keyboard is a slight step down, Ill be reluctant to bare the cost of the upgrade just for the larger tilting screen (which I really liked).

For me it´s more comfortable than the one on old TP
But even much better is this one:

Universal keyboard!
Not any keyboard of actual devices on the market can beat this one

Agreed. The TP2 keyboard is easily the best keyboard since the Universal, but it doesn't beat it.
To be honest, if they put the screen and other hardware from the TP2 into a Universal chassis with that keyboard, they'd have an utterly awesome device. (3.5mm audio FTW!).

Yes! My advice, leave it well alone, It has a crappy feel and it is virtually impossible to cut it in nice strait lines!

[Q] How to make a white one black?

Is there a way for me to make my white sgs3 black? I can get a battery cover, but I want the front black as well.
The cosmetic designer for the sgs3 must have had some strange ideas, the actual black version wasn't even black, more of a scratched dark grey, and there is no way that I'm buying a custom front glass, not with the hair-dryer procedure.
If there isn't a way, I'll be fine, but I really want a black one without using decals.:fingers-crossed:

Just get a case that covers it up... It's a lot less work. Amazon has them cheap. Better protection, looks like you want, win-win.

I want to have the glass on either side of the screen unobstructed, and I want the cosmetic appearance of a phone that isn't covered, What I want is some sort of shaded screen protector, one with the bezel area black and the screen completely clear

Or would it be one of those things that would tear after a week?

That would work for the front. As for durability, that depends on the quality of the material they use.

and would it blend in with the screen? I'm going for the effect on the last few nexus phones, not the effect on the s4.

Screen off memo bizarreness

Either i'm going crazy, or Screen off memo changed between the pre-battery-recall firmware and post-battery-recall.
I could *swear* the line thickness was smaller before the update.
Also, what's with the weird minus-shaped cursor when you hover?
When you start writing, it turns into a normal circle shaped cursor, but as soon as you move the pen away and bring it back to the screen, it's a little dash again, until you actually touch the screen and start writing.
I'm fairly certain it's a bug, i'm just not sure if it's just my device or if it's widespread.

I'm on the original Note 7 PH9 frimware everything is as described. Except this "line thickness" I'm not sure what you're referring to?

I can't say much about line thickness, but it does seem very responsive to pressure - maybe try using the harder grey s-pen tip instead of the stock one, which is softer?
The line is there to show you where you're lined up.

Weird, i'd swear i didn't see that line before.
So if it's there to show where you're lined up, why does it turn into a normal cursor once you touch the screen - and stays that way for as long as you keep the pen in proximity to the screen?
Re: line thickness - good point, maybe they changed the pressure/thickness responsiveness slightly, or this pen has a slightly different feel. I'll try the harder tip.

Just to be clear re: cursor, this is what i was talking about:

Sorry for the potato shots.

Looks the same as mine, US Verizon flameout-proof edition.
