Just incase it helps to locate the source of the lag with the character count that you are removing here. I loaded mighty rom 6, which appeared to have the count disabled from the get go, so naturally, no lag. i loaded all my cab's that i use, once of which being the 160 sms cab for sprint (enables 160 character messages instead of 130). that seems to have reenabled the count, however, i have no lag whatsoever, in any application. perhaps that cab modifies something else that works together with haveing the count line removed from the sms file prior to installation? anywas, just thought id share.
