Just curious, how did the vkb look pre-PR 1.1?

Same as pr1.1
The only difference is that you could type a capital letter by dragging the letter button upwards. Similarly dragging left equaled a backspace, right a space, down a carriage return. It also missed the colored "preview" of the letter when you pressed it.

Here's the result from my first attempt of just copying over files, running hildon-im-recache and rebooting.
These are basically my copy routines:
The bad: The actual keyboard didn't show up.
The good:
I've been waiting for both the PR 1.2 SDK and the device PR 1.2 to be available. After looking at the HIM PR 1.2 changes, I decided to wait before trying to do my own stuff. But worst case, I might be able to bring some old code forward and thus have the original keyboard working again. Also, it might just be a matter of using some other old files, but I probably won't be able to look at this again until next week.
These are basically my copy routines:
Code:
mkdir /usr/lib/hildon-input-method/new
cp -a /usr/lib/hildon-input-method/{hil,w}* new
mkdir /usr/lib/hildon-input-method/old
cp -a <old /usr/lib/hildon-input-method>/{hil,w}* /usr/lib/hildon-input-method/old
cp -a /usr/lib/hildon-input-method/old/* /usr/lib/hildon-input-method
mkdir /usr/lib/new
mkdir /usr/lib/old
cp -a /usr/lib/libhildon-im-* /usr/lib/new
cp -a <old /usr/lib>/libhildon-im-* /usr/lib/old
cp -a /usr/lib/old/* /usr/lib
The good:
- The pieces that did show up work.
- All the code, new and old, that call the plugins are available.

the old virtual keyboard made it easy to type quickly, now i can't type correctly in the new layout, i hope we'll find a way to bring back the old fantastic vkb layout

No luck replacing pr1.2 vkb yet?
Before 1.2 I used vkb mostly but now only hw keyboard. Because of smaller keys in 1.2 vkb I make too many typos.

rant time:
WHY DOES EVERYBODY HAVE TO COPY APPLE IN EVERY STUPID THING THEY DO?? WHO THE **** THOUGHT THAT HAVING THE NUMBERS IN A LINE IS BY ANY MEANS BETTER THAN HAVING THEM IN A NUMPAD LAYOUT??
finished ranting
