I flashed Vegan Ginger a while back but had to flash back to Vegan 5 because of the lack of video and 3d support. With pershoot's kernel and VTL Launcher, I really have no complaints and no need to upgrade to Ginger but one thing I found myself missing was the typing cursor. Being able to move it accurately and highlight so easily is something that I reallllyy wish was an option in Froyo. So my question is this, is there any tweak that I can do to get that cursor? The answer's probably no but just thought I'd ask. Thanks.

After flashing to 2.1 I really dislike the keyboard it came with and miss the stock 1.6 one.
I would donate several beers to anyone willing to port the 1.6 keyboard to my 2.1 device.
Which one does XDA members prefer?
EDIT:
After giving it some thought, my main gripe with the new 2.1 keyboard is no arrows (left and right mostly) and no num pad. Also you have to go into the number area to access the question mark.
EDIT2:
Cypher84 posted a keyboard in another thread linking to a Droid X multitouch keyboard. Look no further, this is the best of the best functionality wise:

I would add several beers too !
tbh I'm struggling with my limited knowledge of android to see why it's not working..
I've run the 1.6 with the ddms debugger running, it's segfaulting, but I really can't see why it's doing it.
I look forward to this tweak too as I miss the arrow buttons on the 2.1 keyboard. My fingers are a little too big to place the cursor where I want in text fields.

Bump... ...
Has anybody got the 1.6 keyboard working with 2.1 yet?
The official 2.1 update comes out here in the UK on Wednesday and the new keyboard looks terrible.
Would also like to mention that I would also love the 1.6 keyboard for 2.1

When youre in gingerbread or honeycomb and you have clicked on a section of inputted text a little orange arrow pops up, you can use it to set your place, copy/edit and other various things.. i was wondering if there was somerthing like that for froyo. I dont have a screenshot but if one is needed i can get one.
The arrows or text handles you see in Gingerbread and Honeycomb are part of the revised text select/copy/edit system that was introduced in Gingerbread. As far as I know, there's no way to backport that feature to froyo.
Damn, i thought that might be the case.. i like cm7 but it wont play mp3s, and i love honeycomb but its not developed enough.. so im using nookie froyo.. dont get me wrong its great i love all android i just want some copy/paste action!
Hi, long time lurker, new poster.
I couldn't find any info on the G-tab forums on this, so I figured I would ask:
I am just wondering if any of the devs have considered tweaking their Froyo ROMs to replicate the bottom status bar tweak found in CM7. There are a few Froyo ROM's over on the Nook Color forums where this has been implemented (i.e. Nookie-Comb or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999214).
It seems like a mod like this would include the best of both worlds; smooth flash and the bottom status bar tweak similar to CM7. Just curious if it has ever been considered? If a Froyo ROM implemented this, I would probably hop back on that because of the speed and smoothness, but honestly I'm jonesin for the tablet tweaks in CM7 (mainly, bottom status bar), making my ROM of choice a GB ROM with choppy flash.
Any thoughts? Please correct me if I'm out to lunch.
try downloading the new VTL Launcher by GoJimi...its pretty nice

I agree! I did ask this in the Vegan thread and have received no response on it yet.
rbansal2 - I already use VTL Launcher and it is great but I like the CM status bar along with it.
VTL makes for a better tablet experience that's for sure.
Having bottom status bar in Caulkin's ROM would be mighty fine though.
VTL + button savior is a good alternative for the time being..
i read that the status bar at the bottom causes issues with the keyboard. Thats why they dont do it.
Hello all, I was on cm7 for about a week but my battery life was not cutting it for the long nights out I've had. One thing that I really really miss, probably the most, is the smaller size of the gingerbread keyboard. Is there any way I can get that on another ROM?
Edit - LOL,got it. Just extracted from the ROM and installed it.....
okay wait, how can I get it to run on a froyo ROM?
go to the market and search "ginger bread keyboard" it's free. Then go into Keyboard in setting and set it to gingerbread, then open up a text and "input method" check Gingerbread keyboard.
After flashing all over the place for the past few months, I opted to go back to the oldest nandroid I have, which is 2.3.4, UCKK6 and my kernel is 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel. (I like most of the ROMs I've tried, but my game data would for some reason go missing, and it's quite a pain to start playing a game from scratch every 6 or 7 days - so I figured I'd get off ICS for a while).
It's all well and good and everything, but there are a few custom ROM features that I liked. For example: the 14-toggle menu, which allowed long-pressing on a particular toggle to go to the related settings menu. I also wouldn't mind ridding myself of the home button lag (that was fixed with that dreadful 2.3.6 OTA update). I don't use voice commands very often, since they often fail to do what I ask of them.
So anyway, can I flash mods through CWM like I can on a custom ROM? Can I flash different kernels and scripts safely? Some of the mods I've seen have only been developed for certain ROMs, if I remember correctly, so obviously I'll be unable to use those. If it comes down to it, I would be willing to flash a stock-based ROM, so long as the wifi doesn't murder my phone and/or it's not deodexed (I don't really care for theming and the phone seems smoother(?) when it's not deodexed).
Sounds like you would like Unnamed 1.3.2 It's based off of UCKH7. It looks exactly like stock and has the toggles you want in the dropdown window. I think there is a mod here that will take away the home button lag.
I am on Unnamed 2.2.1 that is based on UCKK6 but lot of people report the wifi drain bug with KK6. I somehow managed to not get that and it runs fine for me.
Hope you find what you are looking for.

This. +1 . Unnamed's older version is what I always flash back to for an awesome stock experience. Also I believe Serendipity was based on 2.3.4 as well but don't quote me on that its been a long time.
