[Q] switching IME? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
i finally decided to bite the bullet and installed ice cream sandwich (virtuous quattro rc2 with the wifi fix kernel). everything is ok, except for one thing: switching IMEs.
i know that in ICS you don't long press on text fields anymore; instead there is an keyboard icon that appears in the notification bar that lets you pick your ime.
as it stands right now, that icon in the notification bar doesn't appear. i have to manually go to the settings page and switch the default IME. i need to use multiple keyboards and not having a quick way to switch makes using the device impossible.
is there something i have to do to get that icon to appear? when i tap a text field to start entering text, the keyboard i have selected as default appears, but there is no way to change the IME because there is no icon in the notification bar.
can anyone help me?
thanks!

man i must be blind. upon combing the settings a third time, there was an option i missed in the quattro control panel "enable ime switcher".
can a mod delete this thread?
thanks!

its still a release candidate u may find a lot of missing stuff wait for the dev to fully finishing this project then if the prob still the same u cant tell them

Notification overlay closing...

I'm sure i'm missing a little checkbox somewhere in settings, but this is driving me crazy. Every time i use the power control in the notification pulldown (CM 6.1.1 w/cyanoginger 1.1) the pulldown closes automatically. I use these constantly when i'm going to work (to toggle lockscreen, volume, wifi, etc) and having to re open it after each toggle is a pain.
Anyone have an idea of what setting i'm overlooking?
-k
ps- yes i used search looked through several pages and didnt see anything so i apologize in advance if i missed it. Thanks in advance for being courteous.

Yes there is a setting go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, user interface, and I'm pretty sure if you scroll down it let's you pick the widget buttons as well as check whether the notification bar closes after toggle.

[Q] Displaying Status Bar on Cyanogenmod 4G Fullscreen Browser

So, when you make the browser full screen...is there a way to get the status bar to show when you want? In sense roms, you just have to hit the menu button...you don't have to exit the browser...
Seems like a petty thing, but I could live without the smart dialer...the Sense browser...but damn it, this one feature is (for some strange reason) a must...
Oh, and is there a way to disable the search bar and use the address bar that the search bar pops up on top of? (sorry if that last sentence was structured like ****...I've been at work for what seems like forever today...)

changing input method without going into settings?

Hi everyone,
I used to see the "input method" in the notification bar so that I can switch keyboards without having to go to settings, but I haven't seen that for the past few 4.0.4 roms I've installed.
I'm currently using Liquidsmooth 4.0.4
Is there another way to switch keyboards?

There is a setting somewhere in liquid settings that lets you enable/disable the notification in the notification bar to switch keyboards it is called IME switcher.

Long press space on stock keyboard will let you switch.

My Jelly Bean dilemma

So I got my Jelly Bean OTA and start to use the phone normally (before I flashed the Google I/O build and used it in the waiting status for official one) and have discovered that Google has put me into dilemma which I didn't care about before. It is because of the new Interactive notification system in Jelly Bean. I like it so much as I can response to notifications much faster. However, I am also used to Notification toggles and have discovered that with Notification toggle I must sacrifice the interactive notification and vice versa as Notification toggle is always on the top of the notification list...Do any of you know about any solution to have both??? Thanks in advance...
Your only two options as far as I can see is 1) Wait for a (possible) workaround from the developer of the toggles or 2) root the device and install a custom rom which will have the toggles built in to the actual notification bar, not as a 'notification'
Edit: You can still expand other notifications with a two finger swipe down gesture, it just wont be open by default when you pull down the notification bar.

[Q] HellKat Rom (&Cyanogen) Questions

Hello guys!
New to (posting in) the forum so unfortunately I cant post this in the developers topic
But I'm hoping someone could help answer a few questions for me
I finally got around to rooting/unlocking/rom-ing my Koodo T989D
Decided to give Hellkat a try as my first custom rom, and so far it is a huge improvement over JB
So many little annoyances now solved
However with that there are a few things that have cropped up that I'd like to change if possible
First is probably the most important thing,
having used stock Samsung android for the last few years, I grew very accustomed to being able to swipe left and right over contacts in order to text/call them, probably my favourite feature really
I understand that samsungs dialer/contact app are very intergrated into touchwiz but thought I'd ask if anyone knew a dialer that works well and has this feature that I could try out?
Second is the camera, I know recently that stock google camera apps have gone to a very 'clean' interface
however when I am trying to take a picture randomly, I find it far easier to change useful settings if they are shown constantly overlayed over the image (as opposed to pop-ups)
one thing I was impressed with by samsung was their camera apps customizable settings buttons (allowing choice in where and what to display)
Can someone recommend a camera app that has settings overlays or better yet that allow customizable settings buttons?
Third is more specific to the HellKat rom I think..
I've noticed when texting that if I go back to change a word (spelling check) it comes up with a pop-up with a few suggestions and also the option to add to dictionary
However suggestions also pop up in the suggestion bar above the keyboard
I would prefer to only have the suggestion bar, and to not have the pop-up at all
I have tried turning off the 'Spell checker' option in input settings but then neither show up
Is there a way to turn off the pop-up? or will installing google keyboard get rid of it?
Fourth is that I found when typing a recipient number into a new text, in 'Hellkat dark theme' the font is black on black so that you are unable to see the numbers you are typing
not a huge issue but maybe someone can let the developer know
Fifth is just that I am wondering if there is a 'lockscreen widget' (like the one for the camera) that is a dialer screen to place a call from the lockscreen
Thanks to whoever responds and I understand if you are not able to answer some of these, any help is graciously accepted
Will try to provide any additional info needed
Thanks!

P.S. pic is the spell check pop-up i'd like to remove!

did you update it thru the rom today? it popped up saying there was an update but not sure if i should mess with it since it took alot to get this thing running smooth haha
if you mean connecting to the external and internal sd cards with USB thru the computer then yes thats working fine (just checked)
for now i have just disabled "spell check"
i still get suggestions above keyboard but no longer the pop-up when you select the word
unfortunately you also lose the underlining of misspelled words
added this as a lockscreen widget and it seems to work very well so far
Simple Dialer Widget

No that works fine. But I am talking about using an Otg Adapter to plug a mouse or keyboard or flash drive into the phone . This works on certain custom romss on this phone but wasn't sure if it is an option in hellkat
