Larger Keyboard Keys Mod For Droid X Running CM4DX [How To Guide]

In case you have fat fingers and you find your Motorola Droid X keyboard a bit tiny-keyed to type around, then there is some great news for you. According to dhaliwal925 at Rootz Wiki Forums, he has managed to adjust some values in CyanogenMod 4 DX [CM4DX] ROM on Droid X that has magnified the onscreen keyboard key size. Well this magnification doesn’t mean you will have to see pixelated onscreen keyboard, instead you will have a pretty well spaced portrait / landscape keyboard that will allow you to type comfortably. Unfortunately, you might not be able to deploy this larger keys hack on other ROMs for Droid X, but you can always flash this CM4DX to see how it works.

Here are the step by step instructions to install this modified Keyboard with larger keys on your Motorola Droid X:
