Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)

Thanks to both of you. I will check and post the full output of the error message tomorrow. If we can't figure out why the latest package won't install I will try the older package like catbus suggested.

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)

About the needed files, if you use the latest version, only the libsms-utils should be changed. I've attached a version in one of my posts in this thread.
But anyway, it should be easier to get the .deb working.

I have to mention that aegis-dpkg package and Harmoji package installed just fine from the same location.

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)

I am having the exact same problem as OVK.

Have tried with root privileges, and changing working directory.
Like OVK, aegis-dpkg package and Harmoji package installed without a hitch.

Actually, catbus reported the same problem. He wrote that the .deb in message number 26 works (receiving emoticons work, sending does not) but the later ones won't install. So it might be that there really is a problem with the .deb from thp's site.

Re: Emojifix (iOS/Android Emoji SMS fix)

There's a real possibility I was goofing something command-wise.

I installed Debinstaller, by Coderus, then used it to install libsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel_emojifix.deb (with options "trusted", and "dpkg").

Sending and receiving emoji with iPhone/s tested and working.

OK, one stupid question: where did you get the .deb? Did you download with curl or wget from thp's page (I might be blind but I can't find direct download link)? If so, where is the .deb located in the N9 filesystem?

Another stupid question:

The .deb is named

Code:

libsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel_emojifix.deb

but in installation instructions it reads

Code:

aegis-dpkg -i libsms-utils0_0.5.17.3\+0m7_armel_emojifix.deb

Is that slash \ there on purpose?

Of course after inserting an emoticon 92 characters are 'dropped'.

The counter goes not crazy it means now every sms you send will be encoded with utf-16 which will take more bytes = less chars also when you using only utf-8 chars.
The behavior before was when you type an unicode character which is only encoded with utf-16 the whole sms switched to utf-16 encoding and the counter changes.

So with this hack like now on N900 you are able to send only utf-16 sms, less chars and also some provider which allow you to change packages (flatrates and so on...) by sending a sms will not work anymore, because they try to interprete the sms with utf-8.

I guess the slash is there so the "+" gets recognized as a string not as a control character.

The counter went indeed crazy but just with the receive-only libsms-utils.
The send&recv-lib displays correctly UTF-16 encoded sizes, so you are only able to send about 68 characters.

Just went back to the recv-only lib on my N900 as I do not send lots of emojis (zero, nulla, niente) so receiving is the crucial part for me!
(and not being handicapped with 68 char-SMS)

For the N9 I have to decide as I use that more for emoji-texting and it has the harmoji keyboard available.

What is strange is that on N9 the counter counts ASCII characters correct (160,159,...) as long as there only ascii chars. As soon as you enter a unicode the counter goes down by 92 chars (with the send-lib) as the N900.
So that still offers 160 char SMS? Or is it cheating us?
(with the special kiss mouth posted by thp the counter goes down to zero)
