I've had similar issues too. I now for example have the problem that it takes a hell long time to "load" the conversation. For example, you open conversation, see ur Friends name with the latest txt message: blablabla, I click on it and it takes forever to load the messages, the screen where they should be stays black... I have a (possible) solution though: First gain root access: sudo gainroot ..then switch to the target directory: cd .rtcom-eventlogger Now dump the contents of the existing database to a raw SQL file: sqlite3 el-v1.db .dump > el-v1.db.sql Restore the SQL to a new database: sqlite3 el-v1.db.new < el-v1.db.sql You may ignore SQL errors at this stage; they occur due to corruption in the source. Now overwrite the broken DB (you may wish to back up the original file): cp el-v1.db.new el-v1.db Finally, ensure that the file is owned by 'user' and is in the 'users' group so it may be read by Conversations chown user el-v1.db chgrp users el-v1.db Now close and re-open your Conversations app - the changes should be immediate! You won't lose data. I hope this helps.
