You should restart both Settings and Messages apps after applying the patch.

In version 0.8-1 it's impossible to send message. Sending is possible only if I change to long press to send.

First thanks to alina and Ancelad for their patches to the Messages cover.
For those who can not wait and want to remove the white background, you can change the following lines:
nano /usr/share/jolla-messages/cover/ConversationDelegate.qml
Line 60
color: 'transparent' //'white'
Line 71
color: Theme.primaryColor //color: 'black'
after Line 90 insert
color: Theme.highlightColor
Line 96
text: root.recipients //text: root.recipients.toUpperCase()
nano /usr/share/jolla-messages/cover/SingleMessageCover.qml
Line 59
color: 'transparent' //'white'

Its not the censorship, most probably is an insufficient space on your phone. Try extending partitions.

It has 9.7 GB free on the internal memory.
I'm curious why it tries to install the update if it's not fully downloaded yet. Or maybe another problem, no idea.

Usually it's the root partition:
[root@e187 nemo]# df -m
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 5051 2010 3001 41% /
/dev/sailfish/root 5051 2010 3001 41% /
/dev/sailfish/home 7949 2711 5142 35% /home
devtmpfs 938 1 938 1% /dev
tmpfs 952 1 952 1% /dev/shm
Mine is set to 5 gigs, just like in the article below:

Thanks for your effort here, but in the case of JP1 there's only one root partition as "df -m" shows.

I'll check it on my JP1 tommorow because it's not yet updated. The output was from Aquafish.

Sorry folks, I couldn't update my phone, probably due to Internet censorship in my country. :-/ Each time I try, I get the update installation fail and then 370 MB download again. Seems to me a download fail, but don't know why it leads me to installing.

In the change log, I think "0.6-1: Updated for SFOS 2.1.3 (Only due to two spaces, it's just unfair!)" should be "0.7-1: Updated for SFOS 2.1.3 (Only due to two spaces, it's just unfair!)"
