EDIT: LIES. I only need Coderus's aegis-hack, is that right?

EDIT2: Reread this thread and actually absorbed the information into my brain. In order to install with aegis-hack you have to follow the steps THP said to make a deb or such, which I cannot do with my limited skills :/ Next step, figure out how to enable open mode?

I Down loaded acf libsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel-mod.deb
And install aegis hack . Made a folder called cd were i have libsms deb file . Then i start the terminal app . Write devel-su . Then password :rootme . Then Write : cd /home/user/MyDocs/(name of folder were the libs deb file are ) for me the folder is cd . Hit enter
Now you Write :aegis-dpkg -i libsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel-mod.deb hit enter.
Now it finish . But i installed Harmoji before i did the rest .

@thp: As you are already patching libsms-utils, I was wondering if replacing "UCS-2" with "UTF16" (AFAIK, it is recognized by iconv as UTF-16) is enough?

FYI: I finally decided to fix emoji bug on my N9, and tried my proposed solution first. It seems to work fine (I send an SMS with emoji to myself and received it successfully. Not tested with another person yet). Well, it is still the solution provided by thp, but implemented differently. :)

Maybe you should do a new libsms-utils.deb that everyone can test please 

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)

Thanks. :)
Unless this solution provides real benefits for users, I think having a single working .deb for users is better and less confusing for them (so they won't ask "which one should I use?!"). And creating a proper .deb which doesn't cause MALF on anyone's N9 needs some time which I'd prefer to spend elsewhere if I found it!

And for more experienced users, testing my solution should be fairly easy: all it needs is a hex editor (or a sed like utility for binary files) to replace UCS-2 with UTF16 in libsms, copying it in /usr/lib (preferably after backing up the original one!), and update refhashlist (needs 'real' root access, e.g. using opensudo).

@hedayat=> You're rght, simple user prefer easy installation, that means .deb...anyway thank you i'll test your tips ;-)

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)

BTW, I'll attach my modified libsms.so as soon as I got home so that the first step isn't necessary.

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)

sorry, I forgot this thread.:(
My libsms-utils is attached.

Hello, I can confirm It works without problems, thanks mate ��

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)

Can these changes also be applied to the N900 SMS fix? It would be nice to be able to send or send on emoji in SMS without erroring out.
Is there an emoji virtual keyboard for the N9?

Notice that this fix is for *receiving* SMSes with Emoji characters. For sending, there is Harmoji package for N9, which provides appropriate font(s) and also an emoji virtual keyboard. But I'm not sure if there is an equivalent package for N900.
