Google should have used this for Android instead of... But, they took the easy way out.

    Ah I forgot hellaphone! I miss having a 9P interface to my texts that I could just mount and use with some rc scripts on my terminals. Sucks that I have an iPhone now where this is probably impossible or insanely hard to do.

      you could still do it on android. You can't buy an iPhone and then complain that you can't do anything on it.

        No I can do things to it; I have u9fs installed and use that often. How it does sms, though, isn't clear and I can't find anything on it.

          If you want to make a 9P interface to SMS without running Hellaphone, you should start by looking into the RIL daemon. If I remember correctly, it runs at the Linux level (not Java) and drops a socket somewhere. The Java libraries for making phone calls, texts, etc. work by sending commands to that socket. You can read/write that socket yourself and use it to e.g. send SMS
