huawei g300 keypad problem

georgiac

Please does anyone know how I change the colour / style of keypad on the huawei ascend g300?

I am trying to set up my old huawei g300 for my grandad and the number keypad is a dark blue numbers on black background, which is hard for him to read.

Please does anyone know how I change the style and font so the colours are black numbers on white background.

I know it must be possible as I have seen another g300 with easier to read numbers.

Thanks in advance

So you want to change the dialler pad rather than the keyboard it sounds like?

The dialler is just a built in app but is limited, you can just install another app and use that (without doing any harm to or removing the existing app).

If one takes your fancy you can even replace the 'fixed' call button on the home screens by pressing and holding the icon then dragging it to the bin, then drag an icon from from the new dialler app to the home screen then drag and drop in the fixed position. It can all be put back as it was just as easily don't worry.

You just need an app that has themes or skins to choose from. I use Pixel Phone Pro (a paid for app) as its brilliant in many ways but there are many more including free ones...

It is the dialler pad I meant, there must be a way of chnaging it with settings but I can't find it

I have Google's Gesture Search app on the home screen and like using it for making calls to saved contacts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.gesturesearch

IMO it can be very good for an elderly person.
