Hey Adrynalyne,
I had to put the original beta rom back on and still had a problem with the text message slow down. I did another hard reset and installed everything again
. So far no problems. It definately something that im doing. Your ROM's weren't the problem. I'll Flash 1.3 this weekend while the wife is at work and give it another go. Do you recommend doing a hard reset after a rom flash. I was thinking that maybe I just pushed my phone to hard. It was warm, not hot like it used to with GPS gate always connected. Thanks for you quick responses last night. Definately was stoked with the Flash before the messaging program crashed.
