Doesn't exactly answer the question, but if there is interest, I'm running CM6
on a nexus one and I don't see at least 1 and 2. Not really sure what 3 means.
Personally I don't like anysoftkeyboard too much (mainly annoyed by the method
to switch keyboards) and found this solution to be better for me:

Now I'm just looking for a way for htc sync to recognize my phone (completely
off topic as it's windows on ... I'd be glad for a Linux solution instead, as I
really don't want to go through the cloud). Seems like htc sync gets installed
on the phone, but nothing else happens and there is not settings -> connect to
computer menu entry as suggested in the help file or htc sync connect to
computer option anywhere else.
