I'm also getting some weird behavior with the binary you listed above.

1.) Whenever I attempt to send an SMS, Launcher segfaults.
Running from the command line, I don't get any info when it actually
segfaults...just a segfault.
2.) All of the calls in the call log are shown twice with the same timestamp
3.) I still dont get any cell broadcast info (but this isnt a big deal to
me.  I assume the towers here just don't broadcast anything of interest)
4.) When "jumping" in the contacts list, Launcher seems to jump to the wrong
location.  When I click a letter it jumps to a completely different area in
the list of contacts.

Suggestion:
1.) Scrolling through the contact list is very hard.  This would be
alleviated alot by not allowing the user to click on the contact. (Like in
the default SHR-contacts)  Just have a separate button for opening up the
options for the selected contact.  I keep opening up contacts that I dont
want to while scrolling.  Also possibly take out the Head picture on each
contact?  That might also improve scrolling.
2.) When creating a message, have the place where text is going to be input
already selected.  When trying to select the text box to type, it is very
close to the send button and hard to click.

Thanks for all the hard work c_c!
