Now Telus FINALLY released a hotfix after every other carrier (also can't link) and it says it will fix old dates .. but won't work on my non-stock rom.

SO basically .. WTF .. are the carrier fixes doing the same thing and switching the date to the phones time, plus a little added editing of old messages ? AND if I use a custom rom am I stuck to a fix like Ziggy's that's not picking up the actual time messages were sent ? Not that that's a huge deal, but it would be nice to get actual real times.
1) you don't need to edit the dates with the PIM backup anymore, there is an exe attached to this post that will fix the date/time of old texts for you. be sure to read the whole post, it has plenty of good information in it.

2) the patches released by carriers (or alteast sprint's, i cant vouch for the telus one) will do something with rilphone.dll or something geeky like that and actually use server time/date, but you need to be on the latest stock rom and not have the ziggy fix implemented.
