Yeah, I tried reinstalling it three times already.

Let me get something clear first. You need fastsms in order for fastsmsevo to work correct?

I tried to open the vkb while texting, but it does not work. I haven't tried it with Notes yet.

Yeah you need fastsms in order to it to work.

Well try another application like Notes/Web/Calendar. Something other then conversations and always try to open it in landscape first :)

Does FastSMS work for you?

Try removing both FastSMS and FastSMSEvo using purge?

Code:

root

apt-get purge fastsms fastsmsevo

apt-get clean

apt-get purge

apt-get clean

reboot

Once your N900 has rebooted, reinstall both FastSMS and FastSMSEvo

Code:

root

apt-get install fastsms fastsmsevo

apt-get clean

reboot

Once your N900 has rebooted open up Conversations application IN LANDSCAPE and try to call FastSMSEvo by clicking on the text area.

Let me know if it works now :)

Don't forget to remind people to reboot or restart hildon-input-method for the changes to take effect, if I remember correctly.

I'm definitely returned(finished my exams) :)

So...for people that noticed problem with the opening of fastsms: try to start (ONLY the firrst time after a reboot) from icon. then DONT CLOSE but use the button to return to application manager and then try to use message web, or what you want....
The first time, when fastsms is not still loaded in memory, every tap in text field cause fastsms to restart the load from start and it don't works well in portrait conversation (I'm talking only at first boot).

Second point: I have found an easy way to manage non latin-layout for qwerty...What I need is a text file with the four character for each key in this order:
Normal, shift on, '123' layout on, ' ' ' layout on, '123' + shift, ' ' ' + shift

For example, for the actual keyboard (for the first key):
q Q 1 å § Å
second key is the one with 'w' and so on...

NB: please use UTF-16

I will answer to other message very soon...thank you to you all!

I've said this in the FastSMS-thread but I'm saying it again : please implement the Opera-styled hover for keys, if you can. And, as mentioned in the thread, allowing to customize the layout will be a killer-feature. I find it hard to use the layout in FastSMS (Fin/Swe that is) since the ÄÖÅ are hidden instead of always visible.

I don't think to add an option to custom-modify the layout at this moment due to two reasons:
- There are other features/bugs to fix before
- Bring non latin layout also to non skilled-user (hope you can understand what I mean)

I like Opera kb a lot and also the hover effect, and I will check if it is feasible...
