Here's a fix for the "N9 eats Emoji SMS silently" bug:
http://thp.io/2014/emojifix/

The Emoji SMS Fix consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that can
be used to fix a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji
characters to be silently dropped.

Thanks to Jonni for the initial inspiration and some pointers.

This fixes delivery of SMS to the SMS application. For actually displaying
Emoji, you need to install Harmoji, which includes suitable fonts.

I just knew about it about a week ago, and finding a fix is really amazing

Hey, that is a very welcome patch.
For some reason this worked fine when I first deployed it, but it doesn't work anymore:
The patched library is still there in /usr/lib/ but I am getting disappearing messages again...

Any idea what I did wrong?

Ah, nevermind, turns out the phone did get patched successfully.
it's just that some emojis still cause an error, even with the patch: utils_tpdu_data_parse(): Error decoding TPDUs. Discarding message

What version of Harmoji do you recommend using?

I am on 0.6.6 because there is a big warning about using any other versions, but do you recommend trying 0.7.3?

@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?
