EVo 4G & Swype Issues on new 2.3.3 GB update - General Questions and Answers

After the latest update and the change to GB the text highlight feature in GB covers the selection window of Swype.
Is everyone else having this issue as well? Anyone run across a fix?
I don't think it matters here but I'm running the Rooted OTA ROM.

Stock froyo keyboard on HTC 2.2 update

How do I install the stock keyboard from froyo on the new update? I can't seem to get sense to force quit and clear defaults. It just automatically reloads.
I'm having the same problem I frickin can't get sense to quit.
are you trying to install the stock 2.1 keyboard on 2.2, cuz i havent seen a 2.2 keyboard apk around here, unless i missed it
I was wondering the exact same thing...the stock 2.2 keyboard without sense is much better than the sense keyboard

Gingerbread theme for fission 2.4.3?

Is there any gingerbread theme for droid x running fission 2.4.3?
I think I saw someone say in another thread that if u don't mind trying out gummyjar, that it has the gingerbread theme built in. I believe that answer2 was in reference your same question. Look for a thread in this section called Full gingerbread theme 1.5
I know that's not exactly what you were looking for, but I believe there is someone working on a gingerbread theme for 2.4.3

Check FRM...freshly built
Thanks that's perfect. I've been waiting for this to update to 2.4.3.
Just curious, has anyone noticed that the gingerbread theme still uses the 2.2 Gmail icon in the status bar? All the other icons seem to be the correct 2.3 icons except for that one. Or is it just my phone?
I was wondering this, too. I'm not sure what the problem is.
Edit: You have to edit the .apk in /data/app to the GB icon.

Gingerbread's Cut and Paste for Froyo, is it possible?

Hi,
I flashed CM7 nightlies and ChevyNo1's Gingerbread ROM 5.0 on my MOTO D1 for a few days and really loved the new keyboard and the cut and paste function/lever. Neither were stable enough on my phone so I had to go back to my MIUI Froyo. I found the GB keyboard here and installed it but the cut and paste does not come with it. It appears to be a separate function than the keyboard. Anyone know how/where to get Gingerbreads cut and paste so we can install it on Froyo? TIA
anyone know this? TIA

[Q] Is there any way to share a picture from the browser via MMS message in ICS?

I recently flashed my HTC Sensation to Android 4.03 with Virtuous Aquisition, a senseless based ROM. One of the features that I often used in sense was the ability press and hold a picture in my stock browser and share it a bunch of different ways, my favorite being by text message. This is no longer an option in the stock browser in ICS or available in Chrome Beta and Dolphin.
Downloading the picture and then going to the gallery seems like such a pain, especially since this was a feature of Sense 3.0 on Gingerbread.
TL;DR: Is there a way to long-hold an image you come across the web browser and share it via MMS in stock ICS?

[Q] CM 10 Stable - Issue with selecting text

Hey guys, I searched for this issue but couldn't find it anywhere. I use to be able to long press on any text in any application and it would highlight the text, then I could move the bars to select more or less text as I needed. Once I had the text I wanted selected I could quick press on it or long press and copy the text. Then I could long press in another area and paste it.
Before I had rooted and installed one of the gingerbread OS, not sure which one. Everything worked great on that ROM build, and I loved it. Recently I decided to wipe my phone, and once again followed the Galaxy Blaze Bible post to re-root and install CWM, followed by this freaking great CM10 stable ROM. However, I can't select text in a game I'm using, when I could before by long pressing.
I know this sounds like a minor inconvenience, and it is, but I sure would like that functionality back if possible. I've tried selecting text in other apps and it does it perfectly and I can paste too.
I'm noticing that if the text isn't in a "text box" it won't copy, and it did before.
I also installed Gapps 4.2. I got the stable CM 10 ROM from the Cyanogenmod website 2 days ago (cyanogenmod dot org). Hope this info helps.
Hopefully, someone has a fix or a work around? Maybe there is another app I can install or if the developers of CM 10 stable have the time to look into this issue and fix it, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for any help you may have.
CM 10 Stable - Keyboard issue
Oh, I almost forgot. Before when I use to type in text, if the keyboard took up too much space the text field would rise above the keyboard so I could see what I was typing. Now in the CM 10 stable ROM, the keyboard covers up my text fields and I can't see what I'm typing or erasing. I've also tried installing the go keyboard and still have the same issue.
Again, if anyone has a work around or an idea on an app that will take care of this issue, that would be great. Or if the devs have time to look into that would be awesome too.
Thanks guys / gals

For the nightly ROM do I have to backup and completely wipe the phone again, or can I just update the stable ROM?
Also, should I just go with the newest CM 10, or should I go for the 10.1 ROM?
Thanks so much!
Update
Ok, I found the update function in my phones settings so I got the latest CM 10 nightly ROM. However, same issue with not being able to select / highlight text in non-text boxes. The keyboard is still blocking my view of what I'm typing as well?
Perhaps there is an app from t-mobile that took care of this issue before? I forgot to mention that t-mobile is my carrier, so perhaps they had some functionality that this build doesn't have?
If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated!

As far as the copying of text in apps goes, different apps behave differently between different Android versions. 4.1.2 is very different from 2.3.7.
As for your keyboard issues, that's just CM. My phone behaves the same way. Sometimes, the text field simply doesn't gain focus when it's selected. The workaround: when you select a text box and the keyboard goes over it and hides it, press your back button to hide the keyboard then select the text box again.
I seem to remember this happening more frequently with early versions of CM10 for our device and it continuing until i started fresh. If i were you, i would download the latest nightly and erase you phone completely with Black Hole and FSC aka Gremlin Remover, then reflash cm10.
