SMS Timestamp and Notification Window Issues

[kern417]

Some issues i've been seeing but ignoring, but as of late they began irking me something serious so I thought I'd get the community's input.

Ever since I flashed the 1/20 MightyRom I have been seeing issues with my sms timestamp. It is 1 hour ahead of the system time/current time. It seems like after messing with it for a while, the only way i've been able to get both times to match is turning off automatic time synchronization and changing the timezone to eastern. I'm in alabama right now so i'm on central. Is there a registry edit or other way to manually change the sms time? I've also been seeing another issue with jumbled sms I illustrated here...I'm not sure if the two issues are related or not.

Also my notification window seems to be disabled automatically after a while. Every morning the notification bar at the top doesn't open up the htc window, but instead the little bubbles pop up. I have to soft reset every morning. I've been seeing this since around the beginning of the year.

Any help or ideas appreciated, thanks
