Heh no problem. All these tweaks are swimming in my head since I just got the Diamond two days ago
I have mine also set to without delay, but I'm also noticing a very significant delay just like you. All the buttons etc light up but the ringtone doesn't start for a few seconds.. I've tried different system ringtones but to no avail. I'm on the Sprint ROM for now.
Is this not happening to anyone else?
