Yep. We tested that. We decided not to do it because if you wanted to change keyboards the only way was to go into Swype and select from there, which is a pain in the butt. I'm sure sooner or later someone will make a flashable zip to take it out of the notification bar, though.
Its weird the little things they take out of their code from time to time, i wonder what the reason is for removing long press on the text box under messages and selecting you're input method. also not sure if you guys added this as a mod or not, or if it was a ics kind of thing, but under the app drawer what happened to the rearrange app feature? is this something that could maybe make it into an update to the rom??
