This 5-Row iOS Keyboard Makes My Typing Faster | Cydia Store

5-Row Keyboard iOS 4 is a $0.99 tweak available in the Cydia Store which, you guessed it, adds a fifth row to the standard iOS keyboard. Most specifically, it adds a numeric row so that you won’t have to constantly change the keyboard layout when having to type numbers. That happens every day to me, especially when typing password, and it’s incredibly annoying.

This hack makes the keyboard bigger, but I haven’t really noticed any difference. Actually, my mobile typing has improved as I can get sentences and passwords done faster. To configure the tweak, install it from Cydia and activate it as a theme in Winterboard. Then open your keyboard settings in General -> Keyboard, select your default keyboard and apply the new 5-Row layout.

Useful.
