Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)
 

hedayat,
what is the benefit switching from UCS-2 to UTF-16?

As the fix is working for me already.
I did not get really why this should be necessary.

@biketool
as hedayat said this fix is mainly to enable receiving emoticoned SMSes.
It works on the N900, too. But you need to copy (”install”) the android emoticon font manually to the N900. Afaik there is no emoticon keyboard available for the N900 (but I may be wrong).
You may send SMS with emoticons but you need to copy them from a received one.

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)
 

In the relevant thread we(I) tested sending emojis and the SMS send fails, I forget the exact error. The emojis I used were cut/pasted, and displayed on the N900 from wikipedia after installing the fonts and fix.

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)
 

No, this is not necessary. I said it in the first post: this is an *alternative* fix. What the original fix does is exactly switching from UCS-2 to UTF-16, so I'm essentially doing the same fix. The only difference is that I use a much simpler hack.

I only uploaded my own libsms-utils because I found someone (lryus) interested in trying my hack. Everybody else can ignore my posts in this thread. :)

If you are talking about harmoji, there is an important note that you should pay attention to: the latest version *doesn't work*, you should try harmoji-0.6.6

@hedayat
Thanks for clarification!
(also reread thp's explanation what he did 😃)

@biketool
Yes, I know. See my last post from relevant thread.
I got a SMS from an iPhone user with tens of emoticons (from which even a not so small amount were not displayed correctly).
But I agree, the ones where it works are not the ones you/we would like to use daily.

@peterleinchen

The advantage is you can use without worry Harmoji the latest build (0.7.3) ... send sms containing emojis is now possible.

So as I understand, deb is for all those who don't have openmode and is compatible only with Harmoji 0.6.6?

And for those with openmode is hedayat's solution wich works with Harmoji 0.7.3. and also can send emojis?

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)
 

Really? I should try then, but I'm not sure that my fix will make harmoji 0.7.3 working. I should check why harmoji > 0.6.6 doesn't work, but it doesn't seem to be related to the fix in this thread which is about receiving emoji smses.

My solution, (& 'raw' thp solution) also doesn't require 'openmode'. You can apply my solution after installing aegis install hack & opensudo. You need to manually update refhashlist though.

@hadayat

I forgot to mention that my N9 is openmode, Kernel Plus and aegis install hack.

Then I installed libsms-utils0_0.5.17.3 0m7_armel-mod.deb. I was in Harmoji 0.6.6 because I could not send text messages with the latest version...few weeks later, thanks to you, i copy paste libsms-utils.so.0.0.0 in /usr/lib and voila!

Send sms/mms containing emojis with Harmoji 0.7.3 works perfectly :)

PS : Switching from UCS-2 to UTF-16 it was THE solution.

Furthermore, I'll test with my second N9 without openmode & hacks ;-)

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)
 

Excellent. I have got lost in all these instructions&solutions which some need openmode, some need something else...
