Nop... Not working at all .. Now I can't even bring up the symbol menu ..  doh.gif
Control + Blue arrow, right?
*
first, mind telling me how do u install it? thru app manager or offline using .deb files? i'm using offline install.

wat i did is from setting, go language & region, change device language (scroll to the most bottom, u should see 3 new language chinese (hong kong), chinese (PRC) and chinese (taiwan)) switch to either 1, then restart ur phone

now open a notepad or conversation, hold ctrl + space (not the blue arrow, its spacebar) to activate
if u're on pinyin mode, u wont see any diff until u started typing, if u're on handwriting mode, then a box should appear at ur bottom right screen

If it works, then feel free to change back to english language (well, u'll hav to change back even if it doesnt work lolz)

just noticed new thing...pressing shift + ctrl will switch between input mode...din know that before laugh.gif

smartphone like a pc, when there is a time something crash and shut off is the only way, unless N8 has a reset system, else locked battery will continue provide power to the phone hence as a warm reboot, not a hard reboot.  Another bad point is, when you are out of battery and there is no charger around, you can't swap battery

just like windows, try ctrl+space to switch language input?

last note is mscim will crash the virtual keyboard, not sure PR1.3 fix it or not, I don't have phone on hand to test it tongue.gif
*
i just installed mscim yesterday...now its working perfectly well, and yes, it still crushes the virtual keyboard on PR1.3
but i dun mind thou, prefer the physical keyboard tongue.gif

it is normal??! thx=D so i dont have to do anything=) btw..can explain whats the use for ram usage and cpu usage? im a techno noob=(
*
i guess its the same as the ram & cpu usage of ur pc/laptop...each process will consume ram & if ur device (in this case n900) do not have sufficient ram for the process/application, the phone will start to lag, imagine u installed vista ultimate 64 bit with just 512mb ram...well, the same goes to cpu usage...
