nice update.. The messaging UI seems very smooth and almost like the default one.. Great! However, there is this slightly larger space in the upper part of every speech bubble and the text starts a bit lower than usual. No biggie, but that tiny extra space makes all the difference in annoying and making fewer bubbles available in the screen.

the text selection is a bit buggy.. Also, magnifying glass isn't there yet. But at least we can select text somehow

the rest of the UI, i.e. the contacts and stuff is still laggy.. Seems like that's the maximum it can be tweaked? Maybe the default contacts app can be used as an example or something.
