I have done my due diligence and have been searching for hours on how to adjust these parameters and am coming up empty handed, so if this information is already published, feel free to flame, but please point me to it!!
My girlfriend has an Epic 4G and a coordination disability that, basically, makes it hard for her to quickly tap the touch screen or briefly press keys on the keyboard. She holds them too long, so rather than activating an icon on the home screen, she ends up moving it. And when using the keyboard, she gets repeated letters. On my old HTC Hero, which I had rooted and installed various ROMs on at one point in a hopeless endeavor for improved performance, I recall seeing menus that allowed one to adjust these parameters. She would prefer not to root, but whatever.. if it's the only way, I'll twist her arm. She can't really use her phone at this point! Still, if there's a non-rooting way, I am anxious to hear it. If not, which ROM provides these options?
I have searched high and low for accessibility features, but the only accessibility options seem to be for screen readers and voice input, which are useless for her since her disability affects her voice as well (and her vision is fine). This is driving both of us up a wall since the Sprint sales guy told us he was "sure" we could adjust this setting. We'd prefer not to return it, largely because there doesn't appear to be anything better out there either! If there is, we'd be forever in your debt for some info.
Thanks in advance!
