I don't believe the Jabber client for the tablets supports custom emoticons. It's not something that Jablet can fix either.

We do support custom avatars, however there appears to be a bug in the current code that doesn't pull down other people's avatars very often.

Also, we've started accepting donations, so those of you that asked about this earlier in the thread, just head on over to our homepage @ jablet.net and click the donate button.

Thanks for all the encouragement.
