Keyboard patch installed correctly, still when I try to run the emoji-dl.sh script via SSH, I get the following:
[root@XperiaXA2 Downloads]# ./emoji-dl.sh apple
./emoji-dl.sh: line 26: shopt: not found
./emoji-dl.sh: line 28: syntax error: unexpected “(”
Then we found the issue, thank you for investigating! 
I only had the opportunity to test it on a 32bit phone.
So: everyone with a 64bit phone has to wait until @nephros can release a fix in patchmanager, or you can edit the patch file to say /usr/lib64/qt5 instead of /usr/lib/qt5. People using 32bit phones should be able to update the emoji patch without issues.
You must run this on a computer, not on your phone. The script requires bash, and can be quite resource intensive. Just copy the downloaded and post-processed files to your phone after running the script.
Also: make sure you have the most recent version of emoji-dl.sh. I updated it yesterday because the source API has changed.
Very well!
On XA2 it’s now working flawlessly. 
Thank U!
Where is the patchfile located? I’ve also tried to get the emoji keyboard to run but ends up with the same issue at my 64bit device.
The file is: /usr/share/patchmanager/patches/sfos-patch-keyboard-color-stock-emojis/unified_diff.patch
@nephros already found and fixed the issue in patchmanager, though
Thank you for the fast answer. I have to replace all /usr/lib/qt5 entries inside the file?
I use the patchmanager provided by Chum. But this version is from December 2023.
Now it works. I changed all entries related to /usr/lib/qt5 and now I can see the OpenMoji at the keyboard. Thanks again for this stunning piece of patch.
… but that fix is not yet released. It’s going to be “Soon™”.
Eagerly waiting the update. 
I’ve been notified that Sailfish OS 5.0 is available for my Sony XA2 via over-the-air update. This is good news! I would like to upgrade for various reasons (e.g. new Sailfish browser engine (Gecko), Wiregard VPN support, security improvements).
But I have to admit that the patch regarding the emoji keyboard with colors is definitely a feature I use a lot - especially in combination with Whisperfish - and wouldn’t want to miss. As far as I can see, version 1.5.2 is the latest release of the patch and SFOS 5.0 is not mentioned in the release notes [1].
So I’m asking here if anyone has any experiance with this patch or can confirm that it works with SFOS 5.0. Thank you!

Isn’t the recommendation anyhow to disable patchmanager & all patches before updating?
So you disable, update, re-enable and then you’ll see if it works or not? No sweat.
Emoji plus keyboard works under sfos 5
Patchmanager 3.2.12 is now available on Chum Testing.
Could adventurous folk affected by the Emoji Keyboard issue please test and confirm that release fixes this issue?
Thank you.
I can confirm that with newest patchmanager it works like a charm. 
Thx…
Thank you for testing!!
Hello nephros
I tested also the new version from patchmanager. Verry good work. Big Thanks on all developers!
I have only two small optical things on a 21:9 Phone.
Which qml file I can change to test? Thanks in advance.
Just small side note, emoji keyboard lost smaylies few times for me. Restart from 
config menu helps, just to know, if I’m the only one 
It works 
Yes, that happens sometimes for unknown reasons. That’s why I added the restart option in the config menu.
Thank you for the feedback!
In the meantime another sub-release of Sailfish OS 5 was published, which I installed recently. I can report that the patch for the emoji keyboard with colors version 1.5.2 still works in combination with Sailfish OS 5.0.0.67.
But you have to disable version checking in patch manager to install the patch (settings → patchmanager → settings → version check: no). That’s because the patch for the emoji keyboard does not seem to declare compability with Sailfish OS 5 “officially”.
