Cool, I haven't installed CM, but there is no option for the stock 2.2 sms app to do this.

I can't seem to find the values within Res. In framework-res.apk (res/values/strings.xml) I found .XML inside Res but nothing about strings there either. Could someone please explain further.

I had the same problem I think that is text that are above 160 characters
EDIT : There is a setting in the messaging app that says split txt every 160 characters maybe that is the fix .

Ya the mac address will change every "install" of this rom, I have my router set to reject unknown mac addy's let me tell you testing this at first was a pain, first I thought wifi wasnt working for me.
If you exceed 160 characters it changes to mms message instead of sms. It is funny that at 145 characters it garbles.
The first 3 sets will typically stay the same as the actual mac. I dont know if the last ones are random generated or if there is a pattern.

I'm not trying this because its over my head besides I'm still learning about root and all the stuff you can do with it.. But YES this is worth it. Remember this is the first time it has ever been done these guys are doing what Samsung and boost never wanted us to do. This is going to allow hroark13 to build this up the right way. It will get better trust me. There will ne a version that you just click and your done. This is really ground breaking stuff that we are seeing happen.

quadrant standard from market
I did a fresh install and although pressing speaker still causes problem (people can't hear me on phone calls) the random reboots have stopped. I also found a way to get speaker working without muting me for those who want speaker phone bad enough. Call a number, I call my voicmail, turn speaker on then add call. Speaker phone will stay enabled. Now call whoever you originally planned on calling. Crazy but still better then nothing. Plus you don''t have to reboot phone.
And since I mentioned voicemail, has anyone figured out how to add the call voicemail bbutton back to dialer?

If You Want To Use Speaker, You Would Have To Turn Mute On Then Turn It Back Of And They Would Be Able To Hear You. If You Turn Speaker Off In The Same Conversation Do The Same Thing. Mute On/Off.

Sorry for the delayed response...had wife aggro. Yeah Wifi is fine..I even double checked it on a unsecured neighbor's connection. I have used hotfix 1, 3, 4 all with no issues(knocks on wood).
I love this rom and have not found any serious problems i installed all the hotfixes and every issue addressed was solved the only thing is that the buttons on the bottom of the phone no longer vibrate is there a way to fix that also i cant send or receive mms and one more thing after i press the speaker button no one could hear me until i mute and un mute not a big deal at all just letting you know nice work on this thank you i am definitely donating right now

I must say, and I hope this is not a considered a waste of forum space but WOW HROARK!!! Your work is amazing and quite frankly the Prevail community would be no where close to where it is today without your contributions. Of course there are others but between your kernel, clockwork and now this... f***ing amazing sir. Please keep up the good work, you are an inspiration to us all!

Appreciate the effort. I tried this modification out since I'm not a fan of the "Roaming off" tag either. Unfornately this caused my prevail to bootloop, luckily I made a nandroid backup prior to flashing...CWM ftw.

Yeah I watched the cyanogenmod Android guy skateboard around over and over again...felt like I was watching Tony Hawk. I removed the battery 3 times to start over then finally just rebooted into CWM and restored last backup. Gonna try playing around with it some more.
