Hello Steve,
I'm not going to blast ya here because I smacked my head on the wall my self looking for answers only to see "please search the threads". So I do feel your frustrations. With that being said I'll answer this best I can:
1. I feel for ya on the rapid fire of texts, wish I had a better work around for you, I would have to write custom code and bake it into a ROM for that to happen.
2. The functionality is what the Retailer asks for... For example WI-FI router MP3 trimmer etc not on T-Mo US, and other games & options on US (Transformers) not on LEO 512. That's why cooks make a ROM to tweek things out to our liking, and those that do publish try to "fit the masses" with annoyances removed and smoothed out. So going with a cooked ROM has it's good points and bad, just depends on if you can live with what was put on there by the Retailer....
3. I never checked for that option before my cooked ROM so not sure if there is a registry tweak to have it "appear".
4. Not sure if you are viewing them through Sense or picture media... Look at the size of the picture file, if it is around 2-4KB then it's probably pretty tiny, to be full size on your screen it should be around 100-200 KB. I could be off on this one and I'm sure I'll be corected soon.
Good luck on your adventure, if you decide to get brave enough to burn a ROM there are lots of cooks out there willing to build or have built something close to your needs.
