Pulldown Power Widget and Draggable Cursor in Swedish Spring

[Guest Ar_jay]

Hello, Firstly I will apologise if this has already been answered as I have searched, but to no avail

I have just moved from CM 7.0.3 Stable to Swedish spring, half because I was annoyed with the occasional bugs in CM7 and half because I was bored.

The two things I miss immediately are the notification bar power widget and the draggable text cursor from cyanogenmod, most notably the text cursor. I find it very useful to be able to go to a specific letter in a work rather than tapping wildly and hoping for the best, seeing as the blade doesn't have a trackpad.

So my question is, is there a way to get either of these things in Swedish Spring RLS5?

I have found this JGM Software Gingerbread Theme for FLB-Froyo, Swedish Spring and Japanese Spring but i dont think the notification widget works in SS yet.

Can anyone help?

Thanks very much :P

Quicksettings from the Market is kind of similar to the Notification Bar power widget. I don't think there's the draggable text cursor though, I miss it too when I use SS but it's a Gingerbread feature.

The Notification widget isn't there, "There is no power widget in the notification bar."

Okay thanks for clearing that up, Ill give it a go.

Ill stick with Swedish spring for a while then I think. CM7 is great, but it just needs a little more time :P

Hi, I'm the dev for the JGM Software Gingerbread themes. I am working on putting the power widget in the notification bar, but at the moment I'm very busy with exams and stuff so it may be a few weeks yet. Sorry!

And yes, the cursor is a 2.3 Gingerbread feature.

Well, I was a former CM7 user, and reverted back to Swedish Spring for a major reason

I am working on applications as part of my regular 9am-5pm job which is dependent on this as CM7 broke my applications and bosses are not happy either!!

Try using a different keyboard to get software arrow keys on the keyboard, Smart Keyboard Pro (also includes volume key cursor) definitely has it. I think Better Keyboard might have it, I haven't tried it.

Or use the HTC keyboard, the cursor is adjustable by the volume key.

I am currently using smart keyboard pro - definitely the best keyboard, and I was aware of the arrows, which does solve the problem, but its not as useful as the draggable cursor obviously.

@TheManicGibbon, Thanks, ill check back at some point later on, I know what you mean about exams! Im currently in the library revising for my finals but procrastinating as usual.

Finally, I will go back to CM7 soon I imagine, but at the end of the day the roms aren't really *that* different, and my main reason for changing is not because one is better than the other, its just that i am bored and it gives me something to do (anything but quantum mechanics revision xD)
