actually trying to read through this thread... on page 119 - not sure if attempting to read through the whole thing is a smart way to go - may not catch up until june... =)

anyway, i flashed the 3/23 rom upgrading from the feb mighty rom but i never did a hard (button press) reset but i did do a clear storage

when i restored from microsoft my phone i now have duplicate contacts... by phone is also a little slow especially the text message app...
i deleted all my old texts off phone to try and improve performance but it didnt help

i have installed cookie 1.7.1

should i reflash with a hard button reset or is that unecessary?
