You can start it from x-terminal and watch what goes wrong
Code:
cd /opt/fastsms
./fastsms
A question: do you have physical keyboard open when you start it?

Why you use command-line? You can find FastSMS in testing-repository. However you are trying to install an old version: the lastest is 0.1-4

If you get this error message probably you have to uninstall FastSMS before you can see it on repository

Sometimes I hit a number key (usually 7/8/9) and it lights up, but doesn't add the letter. I have to hit it 3 or 4 times sometimes to get it to add the proper letter.

The auto-rotate doesn't seem to work at all for me. I had to set it to portrait to get it into that mode, though that's find for me, since if I were using it landscape, I'd just use the normal keyboard.

One small suggestion: On my N6230 I was used to hitting # to get the next possible T9 suggestion (so that was intuitive for me), but I was also used to hitting * to back up one if I over-shot by one. I really miss that. Could you add a "backup one suggestion" button (or map that to *? )
What you said is really strange: words weighting are stored in memory when you press "0" or "1" and immediately available. I did a try now and it works as i said. Also for "*" button it works as you suggest: you can press it for go to previous word.
I never noticed the problem on "button-pressed and nothing happen" but honestly i tested the app mostly with italian dictionary; this could be a memory problem: with english-full 40% of memory is taken by the app and all the system slow down.

Can you say which dictionary are you using please?

When autorotation doesn't work you can tap on main-menu" icon (i mean the one on the left-upper corner) and after it works good. However i will work for improve it

I'm fairly sure, from those images, that the * and # key are the wrong way round relative to normal Nokia phones e.g. N95.. ?

I figured that was the reason. That's a great idea for non-supplied dictionaries. Maybe using a different extension for the saved binary/converted ones and have the loader use that to decide if it needs to convert or not? Then you can make the package smaller too, since the binary versions are probably smaller than the raw text files.

Hmm... I didn't see it doing that, but maybe I wasn't paying attention well enough. I'll try it a few more times later and see if I just missed it doing it.

Overall though, great work on creating this for the community! You deserve a lot of praise for this, it's an outstanding app for a pre-1.0 version.

You can open the menu,tapping on the write "FastSMS" then choose "Option". Here you can change dictionary input language and orientation (third image of first post). However i think that i will search input file of 100.000-150.000 words for good performance.

atm input and in-use-dictionary are saved as plain text but probably the next version will have the converted one in another format to save memory

Thank you and thanks to everybody that are testing this app! I want collect a good number of suggestions and bug-report for the next-release: i haven't a lot of time and i prefer focus on community-request

I am working on a "phonebook/contacts" application and would be quite easy to create an interface to launch your application with a phone number for a contact.

check it at: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=55513

Ideally we could just create a Dbus message for that. Is your application written in C++/QT?
