Other than Copy Paste It, is there a way to retrieve the functionality of this stock feature from Sense?
In my personal experience, although Copy Paste It DOES actually recognize text relatively well, I'd say it's 70% accurate at best.
Before I rooted, I assumed I would most likely lose the feature, but didn't realize, at the time, how much I would miss it.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

 

Pardon me, I should have been more specific . . .
I lost the Copy/Paste feature, not when I rooted, but when I loaded a custom ROM. Im currently running CM6, due to the fact that it seemed to be the most stable & readily available . . . However, because of some of its limitations, Im considering trying a couple of different ROMs. Since I am new to rooting, flashing, etc. though, I keep dragging my feet so I dont have to do a complete wipe, brick it, etc.

I believe that since CM6 is built off of Vanilla Android OS, the feature is not built in . . . I suspect though, that someone has cracked HTC's app/feature, so that it can be reloaded on, at the very least HTC phones . . .
So far, my search results are inconclusive . . .

Could it simply be the limitations of the ROM I'm using?
I know that there are Sense-like/Sense-based ROMs, but honestly other than the Sense Phonebook & the copy/paste features, there isn't anything else that interests me about Sense . . .

 

Wow, I'm starting to feel really dumb now . . . here I am asking for help and I can't even accurately describe my phone's software status or the exact feature I'm looking for . . .

To clarify, the copy/paste works perfectly fine in text fields/blocks/boxes . . .

The copy/paste feature I am looking for, which I believe is actually a feature of Sense, is the [long press + hold] to activate copying text in the browser, email, etc. . . . the "text recognition" if you will . . . much like the Copy Paste It app I mentioned to in my OP . . .
