Is the annoying SMS bug present on 6.5 mighty rom? Or which 6.5 rom doesnt have that bug?

Here is what I learned, I'm one to not spend a minute longer than necessary to get my phone set up.
-I think try several roms is bad advice, it takes too much time.
-Make sure you flash official 2.xx rom first before going custom. I didn't and it caused big problems for me.
-When you flash, it's recommended to flash the same rom 3 times, than hard reset.
-all custom roms on here are either 6.5 or 6.1
-i am a proponent of the 6.1 group, I feel it is more responsive, and more efficient while 6.5 is more bloatier but looks pretty.
-I would just flash mightyrom 4 (win 6.1), is is probably the most popular custom rom on here, for good reason. link

I don't think flashing a ROM three times will make a difference. Flashing shipped then custom then a hard reset is what is required.

I like roms with Touchflow 2 (the one with rearrangable tabs and extras like calendar and stocks) and WM 6.5. I've flashed a few different such roms and Juicy 8 is works well.

I did have problems when I installed DiamondTweek and Action Button, but that could apply to any rom.. now I use PHM RegEdit to make registry tweaks by myself, like enabling GPS photo.

sorry but flashing the same rom 3 times is not recommended and a waste of time as Mr. Obvious pointed out. Also why would trying a number of different roms be a bad thing. After all, gaining perspective by trying different roms is the key to determining which rom you want to use.

SO nobody here has mightys 6.5? Or they just hide the fact that the SMS bug is there?

Apparently when U don't delete txt msgs, It freezes when closing it. I have that bug on vogue and there is a thread about it asking if it was fixed. It's came on all 6.5 according to people. They said that U have to delete ur msgs to fix it. I thought that why would there be conditions to have a good rom?

It's a freeze if you don't clean your inbox every day.

I just clean my inbox daily and if I need to back up text messages I just use Microsoft My Phone.

So the answer is, the Bug is there. I will go with mightys 6.1 for now till it's fixed. Thanks
