Hi,

Sorry for simple questions, but just desperately need for help a bit here. Looking for still extending the use of my N9, but this silent discarding of increasinly popular emoji SMSs has now became a fatal bug requiring an immediate patch.

The problem is i didn't do any rooting tricks before the Store closed. Now i have studied the matter here a lot for first time and found that "Resurrect your N9"
https://wiki.maemo.org/Resurrect_your_N9
very useful wiki to set up the basic tweaks post-Store.

Managed to follow the steps there to succesfully install Repomirror, Warehouse and Developermode.

But the wiki does not tell anything about the crucial Emojifix. Now I'm stuck: the Emojifix can be found at the site provided in this thread, namely
https://thp.io/2014/emojifix/
but the only downloadable thing now is the emojifix_packager.sh (no .deb files there, direct links result to 404) without any step-by-step instructions to non-developers, only link to this thread.

So my questions are:
1) How to run/install this package and is the .sh -file the correct one? Browser won't execute it, I can download it, save to /home/user/ , open terminal, run devel-su and chmod u+x (which allowed only if copied to somewhere else), but still i can't run it. Which dir to download to, which terminal/shell to use, how to start in it, and how to run the .sh -package? Or do i need the aegis-thing for this? I would need to walk through without flashing/reseting the phone, is that even possible regarding aegis-hack?
2) Could someone pls add that info as essential step to "Resurrect your N9" wiki? (Along with another essential: which/how to install whatsup equivalent)
3) Is the issue with switching numbers 2 and 6 solved?
4) Is the issue with simple SMS services (bank, etc) solved? Maybe that is due to the emoji char extender/header being added to outgoing sms even if the message doesn't have emojis? The outgoing emojis is not priority, rather the functional SMSs services!


Looking for most minimal, easy, safe, non-messing, non-flashing way to patch this with step-by-step instructions. Anyone? Huge thanks in advance!
