In almost every rom I have used, the messaging lags. I type up to 6 or seven words befor the phone types out the first one on screen

Ive made a few skins for the messaging for stock windows text, and I had someone in the app thread ask me to include a certin cab into it that was escentially just a stock threadsms.css file with a tweaked line of code.

The line that was tweaked stopped the phone phone counting the the letters as you type them.

That line of the code had to count every charicter and update the charicter count on your text.
(ie the 0/160 counter)

so that cab removed that line of code so that the phone would no longer keep track of the numbers and from what I read it made the phones texting faster and more capable of responding to the users inoput rather then having to think and count and update as you typed

When I used a stock 6.1 rom, I did notice that the text kept track with what I typed almost perfectly. just a slight lag, but deffinetly not 5 or 6 words behind.

Maybe at the most 2 letters.
But it didnt always have my incomming messages and it did not keep my sent messages, I only used it for a day or so, So there might be a setting to fix that but I didnt care enough to look
